Charity and service.

It's hard to stay depressed and unmotivated while helping someone else up.

I don't always have the energy or resources, but when I do, it can be a hell of a high.

Heh. That reminds me of the feeling when I carefully place a LIMIT 100 and get 0 results...

Yeah. Only when the only reason I left was money and I negotiated for the appropriate money on the way in the door when returning.

Any place I've left for any other reason I haven't, and wouldn't, go back to.

"Yes, m'lord!"

For the 'wow' factor, I find searching for interesringly named mods by TenPlus1 and Wilhelm, is pretty effective. There's a bunch of interesting monsters and creatures across their mods.

It's worth sharing that I learned from previous experiences modding Minecraft not to push my luck with too many mods at once. I had to unlearn that, for MineTest.

Since MineTest was built from the ground up for modding, I've found that I can have a ridiculous number (dozens) of mods running together without any issues, as long as they're bug free and up to date mods.

"For the benefit of Captain Pike, there will be a trial tonight, a Vulcan traitor!"

"The Admirals will decide his fate, late of Station Deep Space Eight."

"All will hear from Captain Kirk, about his best friend's duty shirk, a mystery."

"And captain P will testify, perhaps clear up the mess just by, a beep or three!"

"We all live on a Starfleet transporter beam!"

I'm not sure it's a "calculated insult" but it did read a but oddly (I assumed initially that it was referring to someone else).

Yeah. My choice of words was a bit unnecessarily inflammatory. I struggled to find the words for how weird a choice of introduction it is, but don't mean to actually assign malice.

I don't really think the article author meant anything by it necessarily.

Your point about the context of the cat relationships makes sense. Probably why they went for it.

Thanks! I was just thinking "this feels like the IT Crowd", but I couldn't remember specifically.

Edit: Also, cool relevant article!

I don't have an answer. This issue is why I left Proton mail. I'm waiting for a built in (or reasonably automatic) solution before migrating my email back to Proton.

Thank you for asking here. I'll be reading along in case someone has something that's not too burdensome.

Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

Whatever you're using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

• I've heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

• On Windows: robocopy.exe

• On Linux: rsync

• On Mac: rsync

• On Android: I don't have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

• On iPhone: I've heard of these "eyes" phones. People seem to like them...

Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.

Mini Motor Racing might be a good match. It has some DLC available (additional cars), but none of it is necessary to enjoy the game.

Tennant called transgender critics “a tiny bunch of little whinging f*ckers who are on the wrong side of history, and they’ll all go away soon.”

Is the real headline here. And good for him.

I'd rather not give what's her name any more attention over this crap.

Also, calling Tennant a "Harry Potter actor", while true, feels like a calculated insult to a man who has played Doctor Who, The Purple Man, and Crawley.

The approach I've seen most is using semantic versioning for releases, and having a continuously upward counting (not bothering to reset) build number for everything in between.

Yeah. I've had mentors regail me of other tools they used alongside 'Ed', but I wasn't listening very attentively. Hopefully that's something that can be dug out of the history of the Internet.

I would definitely choose the old reliable stuff over something new and fancy, if I had this use case.

Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.

We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.

We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.

I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.

As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it's worth. We do see a lot of "privacy" law proposals lately that are anything but.

I don't think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.

I can't say I'm shocked. But I am disappointed.

Delightful!

"Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!"

Gave me a giggle. That 100k loss has got to hurt for a user who still tries to run 'vi' on a classic system, I imagine.

Edit:

Another gem:

"Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity."

The 'ed' editor was designed for high latency networks. I would pull on that thread. That is, in your shoes, I would read up on 'ed' and related tools.
