There was also log4j.

Huh? I mean… I agree that a lot of people in this thread act surprisingly hostile to you but I wasn’t even referring to those people, just trying to give an answer to your question, that feels kinda underrepresented in this thread: We’re all wired differently and need different forms and levels of stimulus to function properly. 🤷

Even though I am listening to podcasts almost all the time I am outside, doing groceries, commuting, running errands, I can totally get that there are people whose brains are wired differently than mine that need what you might describe as auditory monotony because listening to familiar sounds in a familiar surrounding gives then safety and is easier on their brains.

I don’t find this surprising because most people need some degree of routines or rituals to function so I don’t see why this human tendency to reduce complexity (see: Niklas Luhmann) wouldn’t apply to what you’re listening or not listening to.

This doesn’t have to do anything with brain rot, just that brains work differently and need different stimuli.

I agree! The time loop was okay when I was just exploring more or less aimlessly but it got super stressful when I started finding leads I wanted to follow…

Hmm… In my opinion you can’t really compare Balatro and Brotato. You’re right, both games are about making numbers big but the way, they scratch that itch is completely different in my opinion.

Of course the gameplay loops are different and when you’re more into the action oriented approach of Brotato, Balatro just might not be for you, but that’s not my point: In my opinion in Brotato you build your character and when everything goes right you reach a point where you begin to scale and roll and become pretty much unstoppable for the rest of the run. In Balatro you have more RNG caused variance in the main gameplay loop so you might have a rounds where you barely win and rounds where you draw just the right cards and destroy the Blind.

For me, a Brotato run feels kinda more “linear” while a Balatro run has more ups and downs even when going well.

I really love the idea that the monks spent 16 years in silence contemplating Grönings proposal until they finally came to a conclusion. This is Jedi Master level of weirdness.

In reality they probably forgot about it and he brought it up again after all that time.

When Ant-Man grows to giant size, a breeze would blow him away.

Wait what? Is that canon? I only watched the movies. Growing in size but not increasing your mass proportionally sounds like a shitty super power because you would probably still punch like a normal human.

Wouldn’t it be great if Rheinmetall were socialized and its profits went to the public instead of shareholders?

How does it compare to Duplicati?

I am pretty sure he stepped down to protect his parliamentary group. If he hadn’t taken one for the team the AfD would’ve scandalised this topic even more and may have damaged the SPD and / or the Green party.

It’s actually exactly the same with human children…

To be honest software development and archaeology have a lot in common.

In Germany we call you a “Mädchen für alles”

Did you know there is last aid? It’s a project, pretty much like first aid, that aims to educate as many people as possible about end-of-life care.

It’s amazing and everyone should learn about last aid!

Boy never in my life I would have thought about political refugees coming from the US to Germany.

Yesterday someone said to me that we’re living in a South Park episode that became reality… I think he’s right…

Yes, you’re correct: Poorer people spend most of not all of their available on income on everyday goods like groceries, clothes, etc…

Richer people spend (relatively speaking!) less of their available income on these items and save me

Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

I used the following components:

For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.
