I finished “The Return of the Obra Dinn”, an absolutely great puzzler. I really loved it. Anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes style deductive reasoning should give it a try. And the art style is really unique and beautiful.

I also finished “Conarium”. It was… meh. It’s got the Lovecraft vibe down really well, but it’s not much of a game. More of a walking simulator / visual novel. The few puzzles are very easy. Luckily it’s also very short.

Right now I’m trying to get the hang of “Astroneer” which has been a lot of fun so far (20-ish hours in)

I just finished “The Return of the Obra Dinn”. A great indy game if you’re into detectives or deductive reasoning.

I have the Reolink doorbell, integrated in both Frigate and Home Assistant. It’s been running for 2 years now. It works great!

You can. I have ethernet, 2 monitors, mouse, keyboard, webcam, speaker and power all running over a single USB-C

What are you using? I saw nothing ( Firefox Android + uBlock on a network with a pi-hole)

…even less Americans could be arsed to vote for a sane person. You can’t blame the backwards electoral vote system this time.

We tried. Most of you failed to listen.

I’ve just finished the story mode of Green Hell. Now working on the Spirits of Amazonia mode. I hope I can build a more permanent base there instead of having to move every few hours.

Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description

Since MS forced the upgrade, you should get 2025 for free. That would probably be really easy to argue in court

Yes, I recommend the book as well. Don’t ask me why though. I tried quitting smoking many times using many different methods but always failed. On a whim I got the Alan Carr book and read it. I read it in bursts over a month or two. There was nothing interesting in there. Nothing I didn’t already know. I finished it and quit smoking. The next day I relapsed and smoked again. I reread the last few chapters and quit again, this time using nicotine patches. I quit the patches within a day because they made me feel sick. I never smoked again. It’s been 7-ish years and I haven’t had any inclination to smoke again. It went from one of the hardest things to one of the easiest things to do. I don’t care if people smoke around me, it doesn’t bother me anymore. I still don’t know why the book works, but it did for me.

So, the exact opposite of Baldur’s Gate 3

I got that exact one too! It was way better than the Voodoo 3DFX cards.

Thanks!

What’s a four quadrant flick?

That’s all fine for technically inclined people, not for the scores of tech illiterate folk that need a big “migrate” button.

There’s worse. Ever heared of FOOF? https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-dioxygen-difluoride

Imgur seems to think it’s a sexual image 😆

Secure from what exactly? You need to have a threat model here. For most personal use cases I’d argue that protection from adtech tracking is more important than e.g. sandboxing. Most people run into adtech continuously, but few people browse shady exploit-ridden sites.

In that case, Firefox us the clear winner. It supports manifest v2 for better adblocking, and it is the only mobile browser with extension support allowing you to use adblocking on mobile as well.
