You can play them in any order, but I’d recommend playing the English games before the Japanese market games because the Japan games have more difficult levels.

I’ve mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I’ve been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it’s because I can’t just pause the game whenever I feel like it.

So I’ve been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it’s actually a great way to practice.

I’ve also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It’s my favorite puzzle game of all time.

I have the same graphics card. I and others with 6700 and 6800 cards have been getting weird glitches/lighting artifacts in Rocket League since driver 23.7.1. I haven’t played much else since then, so I don’t know what else it affects.

I got excited when 23.7.2 came out but it didn’t fix the issue. I tried to roll back the driver, but that caused a weird issue with the software I use to set fan curves, causing everything to spin up to 100% and stay there.

I going to run DDU and reinstall my fan software, but I haven’t had the time yet.

I recently watched, “Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone” and greatly enjoyed it.

It’s about what it was like to live in the Soviet Union at the end of communism and then the end of democracy. The story is entirely told with footage from the time.

I’d like to also recommend my two favorite documentaries about labor unions, Harlan County, USA and American Dream.

I was a binge drinker. I would buy a big bottle of whiskey and drink until I fell asleep, then wake up and start drinking until it was gone. Then I’d be sober for a while and eventually binge again.

I had a sort of similar gradual experience with quitting. I was enjoying it less and less, mostly just getting depressed and feeling sick from the constant changes in body chemistry. I went from being blackout drunk 2 days a week to 2 days every other week, and then every month or so. At one point I realized I had been sober for 50 days and decided I needed to be done with it forever.

Now I’m at 200 days and almost never think about drinking. I have basically zero desire to drink, all I can think about is how bad it made me feel.

I don’t go to bars or really socialize in person at all. I would recommend trying to find other ways to socialize that don’t involve bars, but I have known sober people who can happily hang out with people who drink.

I’m not convinced statistics can be used like this on big questions where we know so little. Just because we believe the universe to be massively large and ever expanding doesn’t satisfy the basic premise that underlies the assumption that there is so much stuff that some of the stuff must be alive. I don’t think we know enough about the universe to make the assumption that because it is so big, it must be infinitely variable.

But what do I know, I’m just some idiot on the internet.

I have many of my services open to the internet, but behind authelia w/2fa and a reverse proxy. I haven’t had a security issue yet, been running this way for a few years.

I think it’s pretty safe as long as you keep them up to date. I run backups weekly and do updates at least once a month.

Using geoip restrictions will also help a lot because you can block most of the scanner bots by denying connections from outside your geographic region. These bots detect what services are open to the internet and then add them to databases like shodan. If a security flaw is found in one of those services, hackers will search those databases for servers with those services running and try to exploit them. If you aren’t in those databases they can’t easily find you before you are able to patch.

A lot of this self censoring is algorithm voodoo. Nobody knows what makes these platforms mark your videos as age restricted, so people do silly stuff like say, “unalive”. I’ve seen many videos where people use the word kill that aren’t age restricted.

If you’re going to try Authelia and a reverse proxy, I recommend using SWAG. It’s a docker container that includes Authelia, nginx, fail2ban, geoip restrictions, and has premade config files for most of the selfhosted software that people run. The config files are especially useful since they include comments that describe the settings you need to change within the services you run, like changing the external domain in Emby for example.

Exactly. Federation means no single instance needs to serve millions of users. If one gets too big and becomes too commercialized, you can move to a different one that shares your values. If large instances cost more per user as they scale up, we just need more instances.

I also think people are vastly overestimating the cost to serve users on Lemmy/kbin. Last time I calculated it, lemmy.world costs were around €0.01/mo per monthly active user. That can be maintained with 1% users donating €1 a month.

I don’t think feeding has much to do with it. My cat is obsessed with me and looks at me like this all the time, even though my wife feeds him. I don’t think he even puts it together that he wouldn’t be able to eat without someone feeding him.

I was one of the people who thought meta joining the fediverse could be good, but that convinced me that we need to keep them out.

Thanks for posting that

I run everything in docker on Ubuntu 22.04 with the exception of Plex, which runs on bare metal on the same server. The server is a 16 core threadripper 1950, with 2 quadro gpu’s, m2000 and a p400, 128gb ram, mirrored ssd for system, platter HDD for media, CoralTPU pcie.

I also run Home Assistant on a separate Lenovo MiniPC(forget which model), I did this so I can take down the server for various reasons without losing smart home stuff. Helps with the Partner Acceptance Factor.

In no particular order the server runs: Calibre-web - Library managment Sonarr - TV series downloads Radarr - Movie Downloads Lidarr - Music Downloads QbittorentVPN - Torrents over vpn, guarantees no leaks Jackett - tracker management and proxying Podgrab - downloads podcasts Frigate - NVR, camera recording with object detection DoubleTake - Facial recognition middleware, works between frigate/homeassistant and Compreface/Deepstack Octoprint - 3d printer spooler Tautulli - Plex statistics Portainer - Docker Management Ombi - Media request app, users can request shows/movies and they can be automatically added to sonarr/radarr MeTube - Webui for youtube-dl/dlp, useful for downloading Youtube videos for offline and ad free use Spot-dl - parses spotify playlists and downloads them from youtube
