I’m not going to give advice on how to pirate, but you should understand that physical media like DVDs and Bluray are just digital content burned into a physical disk.

So if you were to acquire a digital copy of something, and some physical media you could save it to, you would wind up with a physical copy of that thing.

There is a lot of research on this. Exposure to this level of infrasound has negative effects on anxiety, the ability to sleep, and even cardiac function. Those who experience the level exposure associated with living close by to these datacenters can start to experience negative effects on their hearts ability to contract properly after as little as one hour. Take into account these people are exposed to this every hour, hour after hour, for years if not the rest of their natural lives.

I mean for better or worse (It’s better) it appears Civ switching will no longer be part of the franchise. It can remain part of the Humankind franchise where it belongs.

Old World is a rad game, but it’s not about leading A Civilization through time. It’s a different kind of game.

Civilization can add whatever kooky mechanics they want, but ultimately the game is about playing A Civilization. It’s right there in the name.

You don't like the game? Don't play it, go on and enjoy the hundreds of thousands of other games out there rather than linger and whine until the devs cater to your whims.

Counterpoint: Humankind already exists. It exists as a similar but alternative game series to Civilization, which is a good thing. Variety is the spice of life. Turning Civilization into a clone of a completely different game in the one way most at odds with its own identity is a bad thing. Civilization is a unique game series doing something different from other 4x games. Losing that unique style of game is no benefit to consumers.

You already have Humankind, the devs of Civilization don’t have to cater to your whims by just cloning Humankind. If you don’t like that they’re turning Civilization back into a Civilization game, then don’t play a Civilization game. You have Humankind, just go play that.

There was no improving on that idea. Just a bad mechanic to its core. In a game called “Civilization” you couldn’t even play as one.

I will always appreciate game designers attempting to try to do something fresh over playing it safe.

They did not attempt anything fresh. They just blatantly ripped off the mechanics from one of their competitors.

It's not as fleshed out as the previous entry until all the expansions land.

That’s not the issue with the game, at all.

Retails stores sometimes still have these in high-volume areas. Imagine your store loses power on Black Friday weekend. Some stores live or die by a few critical weekends a year. You might lose some merch through declines later but avoiding the loss in total sales will almost certainly make up for it.

And not only that but a frankly shocking change in tack given her roots in AI.

It’s important to note that two letter domains are generally reserved for country codes and would require a country for them to be provisioned.

Yes Anytype is just like Appflowy and Affine, Open-core not open source. And like the others doesn’t have full feature parity with Notion.

Do you live in the United States? If so the only reasonable option for a router at this exact point in time is to run your own using opnsense or PFsense. You can buy an x86 mini pc with with a couple high bandwidth NICs and it’ll do the job

I mean I agree to an extent but also of course he would say that. Him saying this means less than nothing.

While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren't the focus.

It's a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.

I’ve spent a lot of time recently trying to find a self hosted PaaS to replace my usage of Vercel to host a couple of static websites. I use 11ty and Astro as Static Site Generators and I love the functionality of pushing to a git repo to update my site, and being able to create preview versions using pull requests.

If you haven’t used a PaaS before and are wondering what they’re used for, two of the biggest reasons people use them for are basically as Web GUIs to deploy OCI containers from a marketplace, think similar to the UnRAID App Store, and as hosting environments for code that’s built and deployed directly from the contents of a git repository like static sites or other apps. In my case, I use them to deploy static sites that I either build myself using SSGs, or for example the popular Digital Garden plugin for ObsidianMD.

The defacto leader in this space seems to be Coolify. And while it is fairly robust with a nice feature set, I couldn’t get past the dreadful UI. I’ve never encountered software that goes so far out of its way to hide information from you. It technically has a “dashboard”, but that only consists of a top level list of “Projects” with absolutely zero information about them or their current status Unless you drill down through the options all the way to individual services.

Nixopus appears to have a much more functional UI, but the focus of this one for the time being seems centered around spinning up docker containers of existing services. It has the functionality to deploy your own but that isn’t as fleshed out at this time.

ZaneOps is a little light on extra features, but has the most functional and informational UI of the three. I can see the status of all my deployed services at a glance, and its very lightweight.

Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project I've tried to keep the following principles in mind:

Simple - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container, or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice. Blazingly

Fast - Homebox is written in Go which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.

Portable - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.
