Looking at Ukraine/Russia and now this, it feels like drone warfare has largely made military ships sitting ducks.

Team America: World Police

Find a company that values engineers. The one you’re at doesn’t, whether they understand that or not.

Mar-a-lago sure feels like a sitting duck next to the open ocean.

Ah yes, the Crazy Neighbor Pact.

This reminds me of Michael Peterson (The Staircase) failing to mention to his lawyer while under investigation for the murder of his wife (who was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell) that a previous wife also died by falling down stairs.

I had to check after this comment.

840,000 pedophiles / 55,653,768 UK adults = 1.5% of all adults or 1 in 66 adults. That is much higher than I thought, and I assume it’s a similar ratio globally.

Thanks for the CrowdSec tip, I’ve already got an nginx reverse proxy set up but wasn’t aware I could integrate this for extra protection.

This seems especially handy for anyone who wants a snapshot of Reddit from pre-enshittification and AI era, where content was more authentic and less driven by bots and commercial manipulation of opinion. Just choose the cutoff date you want and stick with that dataset.

Set yourself clear milestones. When will this project be “done”? What features is the engine going to have? What is in/out of scope?

And be aware, as an indie you either make a game engine or you make a game. It’s near impossible to achieve both without sinking a crazy amount of time into it.

Making a game engine is an excellent way to sharpen your skillset when it comes to programming, math, physics, and graphics APIs. But it’s an awful way to make a game. Just be sure you’re going into it for the right reasons.

Black Friday bushfires covered a larger but mostly rural area, but LA fires were in suburban areas so more homes were lost. That said, losses in both were substantial.

Given they’ve had 1800 recent infiltration attempts, I understand their suspicion.

Even if they were live streaming that they were smuggling drugs with their exact location, the US doesn’t get to play judge jury and executioner in international waters.

So like Beneath A Steel Sky but reverse Uno card.

Since it sounds like you’ll be using it for more than just a NAS, I’d go with TrueNAS, Proxmox or Debian headless (in order of easiest to hardest to install and maintain).

If you have the room, why not go full ATX? More compatibility with available parts and room for future upgrades! Drives, GPUs, NICs, HBAs etc.

In my experience it always goes wrong at the least opportune time. Before an important zoom call, as you’re about to leave for the airport etc. My NAS and services (especially Home Assistant) are so mission critical now that I like to have a warm backup ready to go, even if it’s a stop-gap measure.

I DIY’d a PIKVM from an old Raspberry Pi 4 I had lying around for use in a homelab server. It’s been great, no complaints here, very handy if you need BIOS or direct console access from a phone or laptop. I especially like that you can hook up the PC power buttons to allow hard power cycling via the web interface. Though if you’re looking for something portable you’d probably skip that part.

The way they capitalise and use “Homeland” in that announcement is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany using “Vaterland” (Fatherland) to drum up nationalism. Fucking disgusting.

Nice try Satya.
