abandon ship

I’ve had success printing TPU onto the uncoated steel side of a print bed. Flip it over and clean it, gently sand it if it’s too smooth for the first layer to grip.

I totally agree on the pacing. The Red Strings Club is a masterclass of storytelling in a video game format.

I think it’s hard to describe as a game to gamers… the actual gameplay is pretty vague, the various minigame activities are almost inconsequential, but taken as a whole it’s a perfect experience.

I really enjoyed both Far games. I never felt like any of the puzzles were large enough to get tedious. When I finished Lone Sails I just wished there had been a longer section of driving the ship… it kind of felt like you never got to really go before there was some interruption that you had to stop and get out for.

Jazzpunk was one of those games that left me wishing there was more of it.

Manifold Garden is just such a perfectly executed atmosphere, it’s hard to do it justice with description - like walking around inside an Escher drawing.

Live for the adventure, not the grind:

Would this mini pc be a good homeserver

For what purpose?

One of the biggest problems they would have is just pointing their communications equipment in the right direction. The Voyager probes have a complicated guidance system (AACS) which takes input from a three-axis gyroscope and several other reference instruments to keep the 3.7m antenna pointed at Earth. If the antenna goes out of alignment then the radio beam will not hit Earth and will not be received.

The only reason this works is that the Deep Space Network on Earth is actively listening for the signal from the probes, and the people operating it know exactly what direction to point the receiving antennae to get the signal from the probes. If you don’t have very precise targeting you probably won’t get the signal.

Next year Voyager 1 will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth and it’s already a very difficult problem that is only solvable because it was planned for extensively prior to launch, so never mind trying to accomplish this at a distance of hundreds of light-years with no planning.

This ^. You can think about a radio source just like a visible light source. It fades out over distance because the energy emission is spreading out. If there are other light sources that are of similar or greater strength between you and that light, it will be basically impossible to distinguish the one light that you care about from everything else.

It’s an embellishment on the above monkey’s paw comment, not actual technical information.

It doesn’t check dependencies.

You have 356 different copies of libcurl installed on your system.

Nginx, Apache and Lighttpd are all running in the background and collectively using the same port, somehow.

Wayland and X are both running with multiple sessions but none of them are on the default TTY.

every game is dark souls

I’ve been using JShelter which provides a few different options for handling page load failures. It also works on Firefox mobile.

A couple notes:

• You can be fingerprinted by the extensions you have installed in your browser. This is really difficult to circumvent, because if certain pieces of a website’s code never load on your system and never send expected responses to the server then the server definitely knows that. The more uncommon extensions you have installed, the more identifiable you are - and you’re already in a minority as a Firefox user.
• More and more websites are behind Cloudflare (mostly because of DDoS attacks) and JShelter will typically break Cloudflare’s filter which attempts to block bots. I’ve found that disabling just the fingerprint detector usually allows access to sites that have this protection.

umm…

So… while I agree with the general sentiment of not escalating violence, not attracting police attention, and basically not escalating shit… #1 and 2 lead to the bystander effect which leaves people getting hurt and not getting help.

There has to be some balancing aspect to this, and #3 is not strong enough to count.

Um, the core feature is privacy invasion. It does what it says on the tin.

It’s fine if some people want that functionality, as long as it’s not enabled by default.
