But it won't show up on new instances, which means instance churn will erode it away from the broader fediverse. It could become a centralizing force if new instances can never access historical posts.

I'm expecting the biggest difference to be a removal or de emphasizing of the disguise system. Disguises are a core hitman mechanic but Bond very rarely uses them. (unless I'm forgetting stuff, and I haven't seen all of the movies) I'm not sure what would fill the gameplay void left by them, vehicles could do it if handled well.

Looks like a fun brainrot themed idler, gonna give it a go after work. Universal Paperclips has always been my favorite.

Maybe the tooth fairy is like a vampire needing an invitation: the tooth must be willingly offered.

  • Immich backs up photos from my phone and camera with tagging and search
  • Archivebox is like a personal internet archive, I use it to save youtube videos and important memes
  • Homeassistant does home automation stuff, currently I only use it to turn the speakers on/off with the tv
  • Forgejo is a git host like Github, and can regularly pull external repositories to keep a personal mirror
  • Actual budget is a budgeting app, nice for tracking expenses across multiple accounts

That's what I figured, it's already running without issue and converting the custom app to a standard docker would be trivial. Git sounds like a nice next step, right now my backup script just extracts the app configs from truenas and sticks them in a json file. It's good enough to recreate the apps, but if I mess something up I have to dive into backups to see what changed.

Yup, that's exactly why I'm iffy about tying my configuration too closely to a specific platform. Luckily my setup was still pretty small last year so the only significant thing was Jellyfin, which I just rebuilt from scratch.

Paperless takes forever to start up, it seems to be something about setting permissions on all of its files.

Do you have anything in place to track updates to your custom apps, or are you just leaving everything on the latest tag?

 

I've got forgejo configured and running as a custom docker app, but I've noticed there's a community app available now. I like using the community apps when available since I can keep them updated more easily than having to check/update image tags.

Making the switch would mean migrating from sqlite to postgres, plus some amount of file restructuring. It'll also tie my setup to truenas, which is a platform I like, but after being bit by truecharts I'm nervous about getting too attached to any platform.

Has anyone made a similar migration and can give suggestions? All I know about the postgres config is where the data is stored, so I'm not even sure how I'd connect to import anything. Is there a better way to get notified about/apply container images for custom apps instead?

Check out GUN4IR, I put together a two player setup last year and it's a ton of fun. The accuracy and response time are basically perfect. They also support solenoids for arcade games, but I haven't had the time to put that together yet.

My hope was we would see a slow shift after he was out of office like with Bush, but now I'm convinced he'll be the next Reagan. Decades from now we'll still be feeling the consequences while they talk about how he was the last great president who you could really trust.

Forgejo has an option to mirror a repository and update on a regular interval. It won't get wikis or issues though. I've got mine set up to mirror a bunch of decomps.

Hurts to see it actually happen, I've got really low confidence that the replacement will live up to what used to be there. With TTD gone Ka was a unique type of ride that probably won't get replicated any time soon. It seems like every new launch is a swing or rolling start, which are good too but don't have the impact of a zero-to-max launch.

Not to mention the drop tower, which never seemed to get the appreciation it deserved. Whenever the park did fireworks the view was spectacular, and the one dueling ride I got with Ka was probably the coolest experience I've had on any ride.
