The game has a few subtle mechanics that are not so obvious but more or less essential for progressing deep.

I haven’t played in a few years, >!but IIRC it’s extremely helpful to funnel aggro’d enemies through doors. Not only does it make it easier to fight only one at a time, but you get a surprise attack/crit on the turn the enemy enters the door frame and “discovers” the player.!<

No one that serious about network security wouldn’t already have a network dedicated to untrusted devices relatives could use. Definite joke, still entertaining 😂

Kotlin/JS would be my first choice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Love seeing a post about Anki, it’s a great tool. I’ve been studying Japanese for about a year with it, and my reading and writing skills have increased dramatically. It helps that I studied with formal classes in college (up to 400 level) but I think mastering a language requires a lot more than what classes can provide. I still severely lack in speaking skill but I’ll have other study plans for that later 🙈 Being able to write the joyou kanji and read/write the 10000 most common Japanese words is my current goal and Anki is excellent for that.

Imagine being the IT person that maintains those. Do they get to live on the superyacht on call? Or do they get serviced when he takes the yacht into the shop. These are my questions. I’m sure he knows about PCs but ain’t no billionaire maintaining 15 gaming PCs himself.

I mean I guess if you’re in the air at night then yeah you can open them. My last few flights were long haul going west during the day, so the sun never goes down, and people sleep the whole way.

In any case if you’re on a flight longer than a couple hours you’re not allowed to open them anyway, they make you keep em shut so people can nap 🙈 But it’s fun to look out for the takeoff and landing. But the planes that tint the windows are the best.

As a dev working on a large project using gradle, a lot of the time interfaces are useful as a means to avoid circular dependencies while breaking things up into modules. It can also really boost build times if modules don’t have to depend on concrete impls, which can kill the parallelization of the build. But I don’t create interfaces for literally everything, only if a type is likely going to be used across module boundaries. Which is a roundabout way of saying they reduce coupling, but just noting it as a practical example of the utility you gain.

Comcast doesn’t necessarily have to go away as long as they don’t have a monopoly on the infrastructure used to deliver an essential utility to homes. But I’d have to agree it would be nice if they just went away too.

I just can’t get over why he needs a massive mousepad for software development and yet is using the shittiest keyboard possible. Maybe in between builds he’s queueing up for Fortnite?

I love hearing about all of these stories the day after I decided to set up a tailnet. No issues so far but who knows. At least now I know to check my DNS config 🙉

Are hardlinks directional? I thought they just resulted in 2 identical files that point to the same physical drive space, therefore only taking 1x disk space.

Once I realized Radarr was making those, I basically just mass-hardlinked my old torrent movies directory to my radarr media directory and used the import page.

pretty new setup but so far I’ve got

symmetra - synology dsm (nas)
junkrat - intel nuc main server

need to name my desktop/laptop now and maybe networking gear. thinking ramattra for the router and zenyatta for the bridge

I’m a new selfhoster and reached the limit on what my DS923+ can handle after setting up an Immich instance (on top of qbitorrent, radarr/sonarr, plex). So I picked up a mini PC this week and migrated the Immich stack over (pointing to an NFS mount for the NAS!) and now it’s running super smooth 🙌 Now I’m hype to move over more services and eventually start separating out media services from mission-critical stuff like photos when I have another machine handy.

I wanted to set up local domain resolution for my devices in order to stop having to visit sites with the local 192.168.1.x IP, so I started following some guides to run dnsmasq on the mini PC (Ubuntu Server) and add entries to /etc/hosts. It was pretty easy to get working OK, but for whatever reason the DNS doesn’t seem to be working on a fresh boot. My local workstation can’t ping the custom DNS entries for my devices until I sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq on the mini PC, after which everything works fine, which leads me to believe it’s some weird boot order problem? I’m trying not to screw with it too much before bed, but hopefully I can figure out what’s going on this week.
