What are you voting if they repolled sailing right now?
  • Voted yes, and would vote yes again under pretty much any circumstances. I loved boats in Ultima Online, so any chance to recapture some of that experience is a win for me.

  • How Journey Was Made and Why The Developer Went Bankrupt
  • Yeah it's a special game, and a masterclass in "show, don't tell" exposition.

  • Voters reject stadium tax for Royals and Chiefs
  • Good for them. Wealthy owners should be paying for stadiums, not extorting taxpayers.

  • I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app?
  • AntennaPod has been working really well for me.

  • Migrating from Google Podcasts to AntennaPod: why and how to do it – AntennaPod
  • This has been a great alternative for me so far. Very straightforward and functional.

  • Does anyone still use MP3 Players?
  • Yep! I have one that I use for music when I go running. It's over 10 years old now, and still works fine. Phones are too heavy for that use case.

  • MTG Color Pie
  • On a related note, is 5-color the same as "WUBRG"?

  • Greece or Croatia

    Anyone have any bareboat chartering experience in either/both? I have pretty extensive BVI charter experience and am looking to do the Med for the first time. For a long time, Med == Greece for me, but I hear a lot now about Croatia being the new hotness. Curious if anyone can share some key points of difference between the two.

    New TrueNAS server custom build
  • That's awesome. Thanks for posting the pics and assembly.

  • What was your experience with graduate school?
  • I did an MBA a few years into my professional career, and I think overall it was a great deal. I was fortunate enough to have it paid for by my employer at the time. That particular program was geared toward working professionals, so the classroom time was just evenings and weekends. It checked the box for me being able to say I have a graduate degree on job applications, so I'd say it was worth it.

  • What are your plans for the weekend?
  • PAX West in Seattle

  • Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew developer announces closure
  • Disappointed to hear this, but it sounds like they made the decision for good reasons at least. Their games are all standouts in an underserved genre.

    School Options

    Is the Generalist school option strictly better than not picking a school? The Organized Play guide treats schools as an optional character choice, but even if you don't like Spells/Scrolls/Swords, it seems like you should always at least take Generalist for the expanded free consumable options. Is there some downside or trade-off I'm missing?

    Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?
  • Anyone remember that Outer Limits episode about this? They thought the teleporter malfunctioned, but it really just failed to destroy the source "copy" of the girl at the point of origin. Since she also appeared at destination, the station operator had to flush the original out of the airlock.

    TLDR- Would totally use it.

  • How to make players more averse to fights?
  • Fatigued maybe? Requires a full night's rest to clear, so it would impact the rest of the adventuring day.

  • Hard Drive Encyption
  • Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here's a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

    For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

  • Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?
  • The ysalamiri! Yes indeed.

  • Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?
  • This is me. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is one of my favorite book series. I read every bit of the old EU I could get my hands on in the 90s. Quality definitely varies across different books and authors, but I think that era of content is worthwhile if you're a Star Wars fan.

  • Would you explore space if given the chance? Why or why not?
  • Having grown up with TNG, hard agree. If we get to a Starfleet-style space navy, then I'm in.

  • What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?
  • Journey, and more recently Tunic, both had soundtracks that complemented their gameplay really well.

    House Bank Charging

    I'll stipulate up front that I know electrical setups vary wildly between specific boats. That said: I'm about to do a weekend charter on a 36 ft sailboat, and I was wondering if there is a general amount of time that is typical to run the engine per day to top off the house bank.

    Rackmount NAS Enclosure

    I'm trying to plot out a home server build, and I'd like to do it in a rackmount form factor. Use case will likely be Proxmox running a NAS VM and some media services. For the NAS piece, I was thinking an enclosure with hot swap bays would be nice. Anyone have recommendations on the case/enclosure itself? I've seen this Rosewill one on Newegg (https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330), but struggling to find many other options.

    Vagrant VM Management
    developer.hashicorp.com Quick Start | Vagrant | HashiCorp Developer

    Vagrant isolates dependencies and their configuration within a single disposable and consistent development environment.

    Quick Start | Vagrant | HashiCorp Developer

    Not sure if this one is already common knowledge, but I thought I'd share an interesting tool I recently discovered. Vagrant is a CLI wrapper for various virtualization providers (VirtualBox, libvirt, etc), that allows you to spin up and tear down VMs based on predefined "boxes" (sort of analogous to Docker images). Saves a ton of time running OS installers from isos. Seems really good for use cases where VM longevity isn't really a factor. I'll be using it to experiment/break things while studying for certs.
