For me it’s Heroes of Might and Magic V, The Witcher 3, The Sims 4.

Heroes is over 300 hours, Witcher over 150 and Sims a little over a hundred. Not sure about the exact numbers.

I mean, sure, we can’t. But we also couldn’t fly, leave the planet, walk on the moon, send robots to a different planet, send probes outside of the Solar system… The list could go on.

There are always gonna be complainers. Like, I’m not super happy that Ciri seems to have undergone many plastic surgeries in a world without plastic surgery (but hey, maybe she popped into our world!), but it is what it is. Hopefully they at least contacted the original actress, otherwise I’m gonna be pissed at them, but if she said no, not much you can do.

Don’t forget that everyone has a hard-on for Witcher 4.

Yeah, this time if they announce “coming: when it’s ready”, they should wait until the game is ready.

Post-quantum encryption is a thing.

Yes, a tree topper indeed, it’s a paid model: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/kirby-treetopper

I mean, smaller company is also a smaller impact and much faster decisions. If it happened to one of my small clients, it would be resolved within 20 minutes. If it would happen to my largest client, it would take hours if everyone in the decision chain suddenly turned competent and people with access to various stuff would all be available, which they probably wouldn’t, so realistically we’re talking days (assuming the DNS provider doesn’t restore it beforehand).

The DNS provider (who is not necessarily also a registrar, but it’s common that the registrar is also a provider) doesn’t have any option to disable individual pages. They can only disable a whole subdomain or domain.

The server provider technically could, but it’s much harder because the site is served on https, so they would most likely have to disable the whole server as well.

Not that the server provider was asked, it’s just to illustrate that no one but the service owner (itch.io) can meaningfully block a single page. Asking the infrastructure providers is a dick move.

Edit: So the server provider was asked as well, but they’re not as incompetent it seems. Also, instead of a copyright abuse, BrandShield falsely sent this as a fraud and phishing, which is another dick move.

So yeah, the DNS provider is incompetent, but BrandShield is the malicious actor here.

Fairly common in Czechia, though it’s not that great. You formally own a share of the house which might come with the benefit of a flat. The cooperative can decide to move you out. Sure, you’ll still own the share, but if enough shareholders decide you’re out, you’re out. You want your kids to inherit the flat? Same thing applies, better hope there’s not someone who can sway others to not do it.

Shit like this isn’t something that happens often, but I personally know of three similar cases. Which is not a huge amount, but on the other hand I’m just one person. Definitely wouldn’t like those odds.

You don’t sound autistic at all and even though you say you don’t think it’s depression, it really sounds like one to me.

First thing I’d try in your place would be to go to therapy. Seriously, it helps. And if nothing else, you’ll get a more educated opinion on whether it’s depression or something else.

All of the stuff sounds like a coping mechanism to avoid something traumatic. The good news is that 40 is far from old, you can still make meaningful connections with others. Don’t give up!

Distrobox seems to use docker/podman? Not what I’m after, but I’ll read more on it, never heard of it before.

The move is intentional, the configuration file I included makes Home Manager manage .bashrc and .bash_profile, the original files are moved for backup.

Ping wouldn’t help that much, there’s around ~30 devices on my network. And it’s very much possible my PC blocks ICMP. And in addition, nmap includes the manufacturer in the output which is what I wanted to base my guess on.

And if anyone’s interested in what prompted the writing of this guide, I wanted to play Palworld but didn’t know the IP address of the local PC my server is on. I was also really lazy to get the IP address from the PC itself, so I decided to use nmap to scan my local network and find the PC that way. Found out nmap is not installed by default so I had to install it somehow and then I remembered that SteamOS added the /nix directory to its exceptions that survive across upgrades.

In short, instead of taking two minutes to get the IP address I spent over half an hour getting nix to work. And decided to share in case it helps others.

I found it too boring, never finished it. Perhaps my expectations were too high after the first Life is Strange.

The Walking Dead by Telltale.

I mean, that’s what you get for naming the newest game in the series as if it was the oldest one.

Our government a few years ago made a cool new system to sniff on small businesses because they don’t have enough money to defend themselves properly in court track cash transactions and it was so hip and new that it used SOAP. That was the first* time I worked with SOAP, until then I managed to avoid it.

* I technically worked with SOAP once before but the part I worked on was like ten abstractions away from the protocol.

No idea, I found it on my phone.

TIL Reagan got shot. I’m not American, so I don’t really care about US presidents that don’t concern me directly (meaning the ones in power during my adulthood), but it’s not like everyone knows that.
