Last Notes npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1svs…p66u npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1av5…3ek3 MajorMUD was my first “MMO” and I have many fond memories. I remember one time in particular when I called the sysop at my ISP in a panic. My modem/telco had dropped the call and I couldn’t get back in. Of course this happens as I enter a room that I will surely die in if unattended. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine I’ve tried Ivory a few times but seeing the emoji text codes in posts is too disappointing. While Mona only added the emoji picker today, it has been rendering them fine. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine Seeing the @npub1svs…p66u update today made me very happy. Custom emoji are here! :ablobcatattention: npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1yx7…tum3 Same. I can get away with looking now and then but definitely no reading in a vehicle. This is why I’m afraid to invest in PSVR. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1yx7…tum3 I can’t remember the last time I’ve had motion sickness from a game, if ever. But I definitely felt it a couple times this past weekend playing XVI. I tossed it up to being too exhausted and sitting close to a large screen. I also tried toggling to performance mode but didn’t notice and improvement. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1yx7…tum3 2 years! :blobcateyes: npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub18wp…8v8s I’ve been using Porkbun for years and have been happy. Prior to that I used namesilo which was also fine. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub18h2…yx5c I’ll definitely be buying BG3, but can’t decide what platform. These types of games I usually like on PC because there are usually mods and editors. My PS5 would certainly look a lot better than Steam Deck. Not sure my ancient gaming rig with an original GTX Titan would cut it. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1gql…0333 I decided to start reading the books partly because of that frustration. I had heard there were many changes from the books, and at a quarter through the first that has definitely been true. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1z24…mvj9 Calibre is a must have for anyone that uses ereaders. The best part is easily removing kindle drm so what’s bought can’t get taken away. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub12vs…nm0v Those guides will also benefit a single user instance. I like the approach of multiple sidekiq processes with each covering multiple queues. This way when the push queue is empty, it can still pull for example. This write up does a great job of explaining that approach: npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1yq2…03wz Agreed. They’ve gone crazy with greed like everyone else. I had the $9.99/mo Apple bundle with both P+ and Showtime but just canceled it. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub16mz…hm5n Some day, maybe in 5 years, the I-VI bundle will finally go on sale. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1vx2…nst2 Save the best for last, Momo of course! npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1vx2…nst2 Great job! It will be hard to eat them! npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1gk4…gxwf I should have been clearer, I could see how it would be confusing without knowledge of the original announcement. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1gk4…gxwf I was referring to the initial announcement via Discord, with no mention elsewhere until this post that I’m aware of. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine This is a proper announcement. I would like to think this post was planned all along, but why announce yesterday on a closed proprietary channel first. #mastoAdmin https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/110644992947398414 npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine The fast loading #FFXVI makes me happy every time. I always completely close/kill the game after saving. From launch and hitting continue takes less than 15 seconds to be playing. There’s too many games with 30+ seconds of splash screens and credits that can’t be skipped. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1rcp…jrz8 Thanks for the heads up. Discord announcements are probably the worst way this information could be sent out. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine These Bongo Cat #kpop videos are hilarious and well done. I suspect my family is going to regret this discovery. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub179d…xu4m I should have looked closer too see if it is still maintained, it’s been a couple years since I needed to use it. I’d be nervous about both the server security and extension compatibility at this point. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub179d…xu4m I used xBrowserSync for a long time and it worked great especially for syncing between different browsers. Was lightweight to self host. There is no web UI, it’s all managed through the extension. Server side is just an API. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1z49…ktm2 A couple weeks ago I saw a car with BLKNITE as the custom plate and this bumper sticker. I really need to watch this again, it’s been too long. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub13td…lc02 Thank you for Atuin, and thank you for making it so easy to self-host. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1cus…6789 I haven’t seen it in a very long time, but you can’t go wrong with both Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in a film together. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1g6x…4rvz I’ve fought Authentik and it’s providers and could never get it working in a state that was both working and that I understood it well. I’ve been using Authelia a long time but really only as an additional factor on top of the apps. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine For this #caturday enjoy 11 ragdolls playing with a toy mouse. I always enjoy these videos. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1hl2…med9 Correct. I have the weekly emails enabled to let me know what new series and seasons are starting generally in addition to the notices about shows that are already in my library/history. I’ve found many good shows which I may not have heard of otherwise. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1hl2…med9 Big fan of Trakt, been a subscriber 8 years and have used it even longer. I wish there was a way to hook into the watched history on Apple tvOS because I keep forgetting to mark things watched when it’s outside of Infuse. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1h72…0hsx I’ll hold off on reading the review until after I finish the game with my daughter, but she was very excited to see the pumpkin house accessible. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1vpc…f969 I wonder if the gold conversion promotion will be going away as well. Nice savings for little effort when stacking 3 years. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1pu7…pdj6 That is frustrating. I haven't used CalDAV in so many years I can't remember what I used to use. I would run into syncing issues like you describe at times. I eventually switched to iCloud calendars once all my Android devices were gone. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1pu7…pdj6 If you want to get fancy you could setup your own CA to issue the certificates. I use step-ca to issue certificates with ACME on all my internal services. npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1cus…6789 Looks like it is: https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/commit/a8a30f129829eb3b39eed22fe7de30b70d5cdae3 npub1xz58lx0vszhyhd46ezp8fdduec2y8nrpn7dwsq7ggwa2jz2ypprsxcsjrt Augustine @npub1cus…6789 There is a new lists feature merged upstream from the Hometown fork that will help immensely. I have it running on my dev instance and will likely upgrade soon.
