No joke, I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as an adult and noticed that mosquitos avoid me like that plague now that I’m on insulin. Went to a lake infamous for their giant mosquitos and walked away from the weekend with 1 bite, no bug spray. When I was younger, I would’ve been lucky to only leave with 10 or 12.

Also the fact that they were sent almost exclusively to addresses of Republican voters.

Don’t forget performance. Yes, playing 3DS games on native hardware will be the most authentic experience, but a Thor can emulate a lot more than a 3DS can. Wind Waker HD on a portable dual screen is cool as fuck.

As someone lucky enough to own both a modded New 3DSXL and a Thor, I’d recommend the Thor first unless you’re looking to only play games from the 3DS era or older.

SMT4 was my intro to the main series after I played P5 and P4. Incredible experience, and I agree - I would love to forget it to be able to experience it again.

Been playing Wildsea lately. It’s been really fun, although the travel system can be a bit clunky with a smaller group.

Passing physical drives through to a VM is the only way I install Windows anymore, that way it can’t fuck up my boot order or EFI partition, since I use Linux daily. Can’t wait for the day I don’t need Windows, alas, medical device update software often requires Windows/Mac, and passing the USB through to a VM doesn’t work.

It’s actually “New Braunfels”, but as a native Texan, just about everyone I know pronounces it “New Braunsvul”, for some reason.

I would posit that if the tools don’t make the resources readily available and obvious (like a pinned forum thread that you literally have to scroll past to make a new thread), then the tools aren’t good.

it has a lot of good tools for finding what you need

As a moderator and the primary troubleshooter for a 12k member discord server, no the fuck it does not.

Kill me. Or bring back old-school forums. One of the two.

As a metal head, I didn’t understand Ghost for the longest time. I didn’t hate it, but “this isn’t metal” was my exact thought, lol. Took me a few tries before I finally thought they were “okay”. Then I went to see them live, and now they’re probably in my top 15 bands.

Both times my btrfs drive started failing, it was bad RAM. The Arch IRC channel member helping me diagnose even joked that btrfs is better at catching RAM issues than filesystem issues, lol.

I recommend running a memtest and seeing what that says.

Same story. I actually did bounce back after getting a bad performance review, but then I got let go anyway, now I’m both burned out and jaded.

I like software engineering, actually solving interesting problems. I didn’t sign up to be a condom between Claude and prod.

Your family is incorrect. Been to Japan twice, the toilets are so nice, I invested in a very nice bidet when I got home after the first trip. Now I don’t want to shit anywhere else.

February of 2025, looks like.

Watch Together isn’t removed, but it’s been deprecated and has stopped working on at least one platform (Chromecast).

Really shitty move to be removing/deprecating functionality and then asking for more money.

It depends on the game. If the game doesn’t tie input handling to framerate, then yes, because your inputs will feel better.

I think both “per serving” and “per 100g” should be required. Some foods/drinks come with “0g carbs” or “0 calories” in small enough servings, but only because the actual amount is negligible. The problem is that once the serving gets large enough, those things do start to matter, especially for instance carbs for diabetics.

Multiple times I’ve run into a “low carb” or “low sugar” drink that said something like 2 or 3g carbs per serving, and then had 2 or 3 servings per bottle, which ending up raising my blood sugar more than expected. Technically that’s on me for not checking the “per serving” and “servings per container”, and I’ve since learned my lesson, but it’s still annoying.

Nah, I’m just diabetic.

Oh wait, I go to the doctor for that…

Reminds me of when I had a rogue ~ directory sitting in my own home directory (probably from a badly written script). Three seconds into rm -rf ~ and me wondering why it was taking so long to complete, I CTRL+C, reboot, and pray.

Alas, it was a reinstall for me that day (good excuse to distro hop, anyway). Really glad I don’t mount my personal NAS folder in my home directory anymore, holy shit.

The official self-hosted guide is actually quite simple and straightforward. I had it set up and going in a half hour or so, and that’s even with removing Caddy and using my existing nginx reverse proxy. It’s intimidating at first-glance, yeah.

That being said, the official self-host guide is also 5 months out of date. The alternative you linked requires jumping through a bunch of hoops because it’s just a small community of enthusiasts hacking together the current version of Stoat for self-hosting.

So I acknowledge that self-hosting current version of Stoat with voice is rather complicated and frustrating right now, but hopefully it becomes as simple as the official self-hosting guide eventually.
