I’d like to fit in with this new America I’ve found myself in. What’s the best way to spread polio to these people who so desperately desire it?

Let’s embrace that stenotype life.

I misread this at first. Thought you were talking about Radicale! Phew…

This post does a good job of articulating how I’ve been feeling. I think last night made it very clear what the character of our country really is. Unsalvageable garbage, unworthy of our efforts to improve it.

Lost little Lemming…

Any software recommendations for self hosting a WebDAV server?

One good latex pillow for me.

I enjoyed Ride the Rails but that’s the only game of yours that I’ve played as far as I can recall. Our group has Age of Steam coming to the table at some point.

I haven’t gotten into train games too much, but it seems like a crowded space, with lot’s of games trying to recreate / perfect the magic of older games. Sort of like pirate games and Merchants and Marauders.

I was really disappointed with Maglev Metro. One of my favorite games of all time is Bus, and I was hoping for something a bit more modern and the transparent tiles in Maglev Metro were the perfect amount of gimmicky for me.

But after playing it with my board game group, it felt like it was only 75% of a game. There was almost zero player interaction and I was not expecting it to be multiplayer solitaire.

Realistically, I wouldn’t soil my body with their taint. But pigs and chickens gotta eat too.

Another interesting contributing factor are safety regulations and their knock-on effects, which weren’t immediately obvious when they were implemented.

For instance, in an effort to reduce pedestrian fatalities from frontal collisions, vehicles in the US were mandated to have at least three inches of crumple space between the hood of the car and the engine block. The thinking being that more crumple depth would help prevent fatalities and serious injuries that occurred when a pedestrian hit the hood of the vehicle, which would deflect, allowing those soft human bits to continue right into the (not soft at all) engine block.

Well increasing the height of the hood of the vehicle meant that they had to raise the A-pillar, which raised the height of the window opening on the doors, since the bottom of the side windows generally lines up with the hood on passenger vehicles. This meant that the side body panels of the vehicle just generally increased in size, and in an effort to maintain a proportional look, the wheels also had to increase in size otherwise they would look weirdly small. And to maintain a comparable amount of visibility out the windshield and side windows, the roof of the vehicle had to be raised to compensate for the new position of the window sill in the doors.

So something that was intended to just add an inch or two of height to the hoods of existing passenger vehicles to satisfy a safety need, ended scaling up the entire vehicle.

Damn, hitting them hard with reality at the end there lol

I love Syncthing but that initial setup can be a pain. Sometimes you need something quick for a one-off transfer.

I was hoping this would fill that hole, but this still requires a decent amount of setup. Warpinator is still king in this case imo.

Oh yep, my bad. Didn’t see the iOS stipulation initially.

The key is focus your time and effort on the ones that are really important to you, and be able to adapt to changes. This way you can make the switch to a less abusive product / platform / tool / whatever it is more easily when it inevitably goes to shit.

This is the user-side responsibility of interoperability.

I’ve been really enjoying the latest Thunderbird.

I’ve been using Quarto a lot for Data Science work and it uses Pandoc under the hood I recall.

Not sure what you’re envisioning by Pandoc + git, but the RStudio IDE has a git integration and a WYSIWYM Quarto editor.

Amazing, was able to play over ssh on Android using termux!

This is what I used as well (KeePassXC specifically), with Syncthing sharing the .kdbx file across devices.

Yeehaws per McNugget
