Outdoor-ponics works like a Charm
  • Do you need direct sunlight for this to work? My back garden doesn't get much sunlight, so it'd be cool if there was still a way we could grow some things. Looks fairly compact too, which would be valuable!

    (I know nothing about hydroponics)

  • What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?
  • This is true! If you don't have a frame of reference for what is "good" (or what everyone else considers "good") then who the heck cares, play what you want

  • Lode Runner (NES) might be okay. Not multiplayer, but it's got nice low-stakes puzzling gameplay.

    Edutainment games are a bit few and far between on consoles - Donkey Kong Jr. Math springs to mind, but it's remarkably dry for a Nintendo game.

  • The 2600 version is considered extremely bad. (It's not that bad but it's also not arcade-accurate)

    There's a SNES version of Ms. Pac-Man which is extremely good, though.

  • Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development
  • Doesn't even have the usual "we value your privacy" lie.

  • Your favorite learning resource for...Windows
  • I wish there was a Windows Server variant that had literally zero GUI, and was just a PowerShell instead. Would be so much mor efficient, especially for things like file servers.

    (I'm aware of Server Core, but it's still got a GUI, let's be honest)

  • Please help debug fitgirl repacks not decompressing with wine sys WoW64
  • You can tell it to use the system version of Wine

  • Windows Vista's startup sound suddenly reappears in Windows 11's beta build, and no, it's not a joke
  • Even without that, there was still full support for classic 95-style themes, even if they were a bit of a pfaff to put together.

  • What browser are you using?
  • https://www.waterfox.net/blog/a-new-chapter-for-waterfox/ - looks like that isn't the case any more. Good news!

  • Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital
  • Shortly after we introduce monetisation so terrible, everyone hates it - just to test your pain threshold

  • pizza hawaii
  • Call it a toastie and you may find a LOT more people are onboard

  • "Enjoy these delicious WORLD'S FAIR DONUTS at home today!", Mayflower Downyflake, June 1939
  • I don't care much for those pure white ones, they look a bit questionable

  • [Itch] *Street Restaurant Simulator*, frantic FOSS management sim
  • I see comments like that quite a lot on Itch. Really weird entitled guys acting like the game belongs to them

  • What extensions would you absolutely recommend to someone who use Firefox?
  • I have no evidence to back this up, but I've seen lots of reports that suggest if you just hide the consent form, you're assumed to have accepted all of the cookies. This is why Consent-o-Matic is preferable.

  • PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut?
  • Jazz Jackrabbit.

    Boggy B.

    Leisure Suit Larry.

    The little purple dude from the Dynamix logo.

    Skunny (begrudgingly).

  • What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?
  • About the marathon they ran last month?

  • Waxed and oiled some shelves today

    We got some shelves built by a local carpenter, and they just needed a bit of polish; so they have now been attacked with white spirit, a little bit of wax filler, and some stinky oily stuff. Hopefully they'll be dry tomorrow and I can put some DVDs on them.

    What does a threat model look like?

    Might sound a bit of a silly question. I see people talking about threat models, and privacy guides which say things like "if this is part of your threat model, do X Y Z". I'm just not sure if it's a general "this is what I want to protect myself against" or if there's more to it.
