I’ve only ever seen the term used to refer to the bags people prepare in advance for emergencies.

I’m playing it now, and I’d say it’s about as difficult as Hollow Knight. Beautiful and a lot of fun, though.

I tried self hosting from my apartment for several years. Never anything ambitious, but even so, keeping the site reachable consistently was a problem. It’s not impossible. You would need a dynamic DNS service. Some are free. Even with everything set up correctly, expect done downtime. I eventually switched to a virtual server, so I’m paying $7.50/month for 1 GB RAM, 1 TB bandwidth and 120 GB disk space. Reachable all the time with no issues now, though.

This comic is very cute.

In my limited experience, there are basically two flavors of Linux:

1. Latest software, everything’s available but it breaks a lot.
2. Doesn’t update frequently, might have to be cautious with third-party software but very stable.

As I’ve gotten busier, my preference for stable distros like Debian has grown. I think there’s also a lot of value in trying for due diligence the first time you install a distro. It’s much simpler to take the time and do it correctly than to try and fix it afterwards. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get everything set up correctly, but it’s worth it long term.

I started working sixty hours a week to make ends meet. Hard to spare the time.

I think there might be a kind of tragedy of the commons thinking there, as in “Somebody is going to take advantage of this naive person, it may as well be me.”

I really liked the episode on “pumpion pie”. Tried it a few Thanksgivings ago and it was delicious.

What’s the bottom left series?

Thank you for writing this. I liked the opinions on the books I was already familiar with, and it’s given me some ideas for future reads.

The invisible pink unicorn is the traditional atheist approach.

May also have something to do with her retiring after this term.

WW and Nocturne jungle, but I’m bad.

For me, the top right corner has a bubble for “layers” shaped like two overlapping squares. In it there’s a dropdown with a bubble marked “Places”. It gives you a crosshair you can use to mark the business and add details like what kind or opening hours.

Is it r/rimjob_steve ?

I loved VVVVVV. It was such a satisfying game.

Zeronet worked pretty similarly to how op describes. It was really clunky and barely usable when I checked out out, years ago. I thought it been abandoned. It turns out, relying on household grade internet upload speeds and having data spread across hundreds of peers that needs to be hashed and added to as people post is kind of inefficient.

The battle system and the bad desync issues on any multiplayer game longer than short-medium.

We definitely had those too. Shorter games were pretty doable, and to be honest all we had time for anyway.

I really liked the first one, despite its flaws. My cousin and I played hours of it. Excited to see what comes next.
