  • lightposts are generally steel, an axe wouldn't do much
  • 1.5m is kinda short for a lightpost

I bought a modern MSI gaming laptop with awesome on-paper specs and they did something fucky such that the keyboard doesn't work until about kernel v6.7. The keyboard. Wtf.

Any idea how forgejo compares to radicle?

I'm trying to decide what to install on my home server. I want something easy to start with but reasonably extensible and federated would be nice

I imagine this process is more about ensuring the employee is the one entering the new password, rather than the malicious actor - which would easily be possible if a simple password reset email was sent out.

A password has nothing to do with validating your identity, it's merely about authentication.

Authentication (n):
Computing
the process or action of verifying the identity of a user or process.

Are you announcing a release or just posting to get some eyes on the project? I'm keen to read through a changelog before upgrading from trilium v0.63.7.

I've been self-hosting trilium for a few years and love it, would like to see updates though; there a few UI/UX areas that feel like they need polish.

I was initially unhappy about using a database to store my notes, and I do worry about how I'd migrate my trilium notes to another system, but the experience thus far has been pretty great.

I don't enjoy how Calibre works. The way it manages its library in a folder separate to where/how I store my ebooks rubs me the wrong way. It also seems to like adding itself to metadata and messing with stylesheets.

I gotta admit though, nothing else even comes close to replacing it.

How does a little bit of extra voltage result in "oxidation" inside a sealed package? Is this a media spin way of saying they borked the microcode and fried some chips?

Me too. Still dont know what PPA is in this context :/

We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.

AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).

My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.

AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.

AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but... Naah. It just doesn't have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.

We prefer the term "wagile".

I found that book tawdry, and I completely agree that there was not sufficient killing of mockingbirds!
