  • star wars or star trek?

  • Same boat here.

  • Art by Moebius

  • Does not look like these space wizards care much for workplace health and safety, or maybe they're not unionised.

  • Dealing with players rolling terribly in combat?

  • Give them custom weapons or spells that are most effective when you roll low.

  • 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells

  • Very good comparison actually.

  • Luanti/voxelibre server question

  • Depends on your budget. I have a cheap VPS (Virtual Private Server) that I rent from a hosting provider. I use it to host a Luanti server and mess about with stuff that needs to be running publically accessible. In my head I write it off as a learning/homelab expense.

    Edit: Actually there's a guy on the Luanti forums that hosts free Luanti game servers for people, you won't get SSH access to the machine but he will install mods and games for you and customise it. His name is Walker. Has a thread on the forums somewhere about free hosting.

  • Would you rather glow in the dark, or slowly get bigger when in water, and then shrink back to normal when dry?

  • Glow in the dark for sure.

  • RuneScape 3 Players Vote to End Pay-to-Win Microtransactions

  • Hmm, never thought about it that way. I tried it out again after years (started in Runescape Classic) and it felt a bit off to me. I think you captured the feeling logging in again gave me.

  • What's the most impressive video game mod you've ever come across?

  • Came here to say Natural Selection.

  • Let's get real: What's your favourite Dinosaur? And why?

  • AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds

  • "Hey...Crisper.GP...T...think...you've mixed up the genes for my ass and...elbows..."

    "Oh, you're totally alright! I apologise about that. 😀"

  • Sado Island - Wikipedia

  • Beautiful place.

  • The golden age of real-time strategy returns? Dying Breed releases October 7

  • Have you tried Beyond All Reason?

  • bar bar bar

  • 0AD vibes.

  • The Temple of Bacchus, Baalbek, Lebanon [OC]

  • Cool.

  • Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

  • There's tons of Greek vegetarian dishes. Gyros and souvlaki are not your average every day home cooked meals.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

  • If some of them are users rather than admins, it makes sense and maybe it's a good sign that they don't have to know in order to use the service.

  • Best Practice Ideas

  • Nice and tidy setup. What specs do the Thinkcenters have? And what rack is that?

  • Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable?

  • I was a Star Wars fan all my life.

    I became a Trekkie somewhere through that trilogy.

  • Those who left tech for greener pastures, what do you for work now? What was the transition like?

  • No, but I've started thinking about getting a plan B ready (despite being in very stable circumstances). I am a late arrival to tech, but came to this field because I'm genuinely interested in it and want to immerse myself. It's not my background and trying to catch up and keep up is tricky, but it has been interesting.

    Yet, with what tech is trending towards (chat control, government IDs required to participate online, talk of banning adblockers and VPNs, the ever expanding reach of FAANG or whatever the acronym is) I'm not sure whether I can keep the enthusiasm up. What attracted me to tech was the scrappy underdogs in FOSS, the people standing up to the monopolies...but I've been losing some of my initial optimism.

    AI is just the latest development in the saga, which puts question marks on the viability of a career in tech, as well as providing sort of poisoned chalice of convenience to somebody still starting out. I want to know and learn whatever I can myself, but my peers are ahead and using AI. Whenever I use AI I can feel my patience, curiosity and satisfaction atrophying.
