I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

Those are the “park anywhere lights”.

This movie was such a perfect parody that it killed the music biopic genre for a while.

I hate how these kinds of things are always framed. The implied message is always that “AI” can autonomously decide to go of the rails. Similar to the Moltbot craze. The agents have to be told to go do the things they do. They don’t have free will.

Using a combination of network science and large language models, the same underlying technology that powers systems like ChatGPT, the researchers created and monitored synthetic bot agent personas, their posts, and their interactions with one another, simulating what a coordinated AI-powered social media network might look like.

So yeah, LLMs can used nefariously to great effect. They’re essentially more sophisticated bots.

I would use Debian for servers, except that the version of Podman (at least on Debian 12) was old enough that it couldn’t do quadlets. So I went with Fedora.

Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.

The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.

I avoided that show for years because it looked like a typical raunchy adult cartoon.

I was very wrong.

Death’s Door was fun, but not nearly as creative and fresh as TUNIC. The puzzles in that game can never be repeated without being obvious. And I’m not talking about the language. You don’t need to decipher the language at all to complete the game.

I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years, until I switched to a Linux fanboy and never looked back.

That’s her face from 10-15 years ago. She has aged.

They mentioned MoCa. If you have cable (like for the tv) you can probably use MoCa. It’s fantastic.

I used infinite stamina for the last boss. I think I could have beaten it without that, but I probably would’ve gotten too frustrated and it would’ve taken forever.

To me, the soulsy-ness of it is mostly skin deep. Yes, the combat can be challenging (mainly the bosses), but there are accessibility options to make it a lot easier.

I liked Death’s Door. TUNIC is far better, IMO.

TUNIC

It looks like a cutesy Zelda clone, but it’s so much more than that. It’s dark with extremely atmospheric music. It is a “knowledge-based” game, with metroidvania/Zelda aspects.

The puzzles are phenomenal, and I don’t think it can ever be replicated.

Knowing Tim Heidecker, that’s probably exactly what they were going for.

I watched Big Fan around the time it came out and I remember liking it a lot.

I recently played a roguelike minesweeper that was really interesting https://store.steampowered.com/app/3719980/BroomSweeper_Demo/

You’re just driving my point home.

There’s really no reason for you to act like this. This kind of snark doesn’t endear you to anyone and it doesn’t help good faith conversion.
