They seem decently active there.

Lots of comments about gaming from people assuming that companies will continue supporting their kernel anticheat on Windows 10 after it hits eol.

Windows 11 is much more convenient for identity tracking, so they'll probably push for people to upgrade because Windows is too "insecure" for their games.

Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

The playdate's crank thing was an interesting gimmick that opened up new ways of controlling games. They also had a number of other design decisions and limitations that breed creativity.

This just reminds me of the Mario Galaxy games. Rather than pressing a button to attack, you instead swing the wiimote just for the sake of being a gimmick. The coin is just a fancier switch or button; what can you do with the coin that you can't do by holding a button combo?

Also, those coins are absolutely going to get lost, hopefully they're 3D printable. And hopefully they're not fomo tokens where you need to buy them separately...

Still, I hope I'm wrong about this and it does turn out to be good. Is certainly an interesting idea.

Database was like "Mondays, am I right?".

e621 in theory is a general archive site for furry art, it's not just adult stuff. A lot of it is adult stuff, but I guess that just comes with the territory of furry stuff.

I think it's technically illegal, so they've got a "do not post" list. You can ask to be put on that list and people should stop posting your art there. They do give credit, which is better than a lot of art scraping places, but it's up to you.

Congrats on making art popular enough for people to want to archive, though. :P

I've read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I know where this is going.

In regards to full system backups, there's no real need to back up the OS itself. Canonical will give you a clean Ubuntu install if you ask then nice enough, after all. Personally, the risk of having to spend an afternoon reconfiguring my system isn't that big a deal compared to the storage and time needed to back up an entire image.

I know systems generate a lot of "cruft" in terms of instslled programs and tweaked configurations over time which can be hard to keep track of and remember. But imo that should be avoided at all costs because it leads to compatibility and security issues.

For backing up databases, there's scripts like automysqlbackup and pg_dump which will export a database to an sql file which can be easily backed up without worrying about copying a broken file.

I actually recently set up borgmatic earlier today and I'd recommend it except for the fact that you seem to be using Docker, and I'm not sure how best to backup containers.

Did some digging and as far as I can tell this is from https://akamavarii.tumblr.com/post/719124314440499200/pride-posyums

They're adorable.

I mean, we came from banging rocks together to making those rocks think for us. Our entire modern world is so far divorced from ancient humanity it's hard to list all the individual accomplishments. Recently though has been the electrical grid, global logistics chains and the internet. In these times of medical doomerism, it's also important to remember that we banded together killed smallpox.

Sending memes back and forth is a love language.

It was working in Firefox and I happened to have a VPN running in it, so that might be messing with my DNS such that the cache was different. Hopefully all fixed now though.
