The possibilities for naming their distro are endless…

Agreed. They make sleek, flashy products for a reason- shiny = better. It’s not so much a case of making products that die easily, as it is making incremental upgrades that encourage big spenders to get the latest version.

I’m pretty system-agnostic, each cult has its flaws, but one thing Apple does not do is make crappy hardware. My last MacBook was still going strong after 6 years, my partner’s Air is pushing eight. My iPod Video has been replaced by my phone, but last I turned it on, it was working fine, must be over ten years old.

I’ve used the magic mouse in passing, and to be honest after the first couple fumbled attempts of doing a right click, my brain just transitioned to clicking as if it were a macbook touchpad. And it works great. It’s not a mouse, it’s not a touchpad, it’s in between.

Oooh, this is promising… I’ll check it out, if it’s what I hope it is, thank you!

I’m not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it’s not worth it.

I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit ‘auto-arrange’ and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.

Is Docker considered virtualisation?

Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?

Fatmap. It was freemium, but now it’s moving into Strava, who knows how much of it they’ll hide behind subscriptions.

There’s so many great FOSS maps, but I haven’t seen any that give you the 3D view that Fatmap does. It’s essentially Google Earth with overlays of routes for various activities.

It’s pretty niche. I’d be interested in it as a device for messaging between folks who are out of mobile range - think farmers, hikers, mountain climbers, forestry workers, fire service, etc.

Ok, so when I’m next driving through a Swiss tunnel, and suddenly the tunnel twists inside itself infinitely, I can blame FreeCAD.

Ok, I’m missing something then.

What is CSS used for?

Right, that’s what I understood. So using a VPN, a CSS will be able to identify that my phone is active, but not the content I’m accessing, or who I am accessing it from, correct?

The previous comment said VPNs do nothing against this type of attack- were they just referring to identifying your device?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t preventing this type of man in the middle attack exactly what VPNs are for?

Got a link for that podcast?

I think I’m out of the loop here.

Enough to colour the analysis, but without overreaching due to the authors fondness for the subject. It was a great read!

I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

Fuck, I love this game.

Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

I’ll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that’s not Blades or DnD or derivates.

The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying “I kick the guy”, players are encouraged to say “I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head”. The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It’s fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it’s fun to be awesome.

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.
