In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

There are still commits being pushed to it in 2024, but a lot of the open issues are talking about errors that apparently were fixed but not provided in a release.

Yes, internally and also with a beta-stage Nextcloud Social app, but the builds appear to be out of date and not working that well with the latest Nextcloud installations.

Someone reupload yuzu, stat!

Yeah, my local Domino’s had a banger deal this past weekend too, was $15 after tax for a 1-topping large and cinnamon sticks. (~11 USD).

In Canada we still Domino’s have coupons on the website and sometimes they are even mailed out.

And yeah, to get a decent deal you have to only order the pizza, pick it up yourself, get drinks and sides anywhere else if you want them. I’m a sucker for cinnamon sticks and icing that many chains offer.

Starcraft 2 has the best control scheme out of all the RTS games that I have played. I wish Age of Empires 2 could put the map on the left, then I would be way better at using it.

Fog of war

Just play Terran and scan, hurr durrrrrrr. Interestingly, AoE2 has a game option of letting everyone see each other by default.

What better place to use this meme:

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.

Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.

Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Secret child-man? Or conspicuous man-child?

The only thing I heard recently is about a Toronto-born artist Drake being accused in a song by Kendrick Lamar of being a pedo. Might be that?

You should listen to the sounds for the RTS game “Rise Of Nations”, it’s as if they took inspiration from AoE but got voice actors to make it sound as obnoxious as possible.

I mean, as host if you kick people between deployments then no harm no foul.

Some international players can’t read English, the text chat is easy to ignore and some have voice chat or all sound disabled/muted. So it can be difficult to co-ordinate with randoms but you can get lucky or just play on a low difficulty to relax and have fun with casual bouts of teamwork.

I just use pings and the comms wheel to indicate where I’m going and what I’m doing.

Also keep in mind that some players have interpreted the “meta” of side objectives being significantly harder to complete after the primary objective to mean “beeline for the extract after the primary objective is done”.

Yeah, it makes sense if you think of it like Skyrim Horse Armour except with life saving drugs. They’ll take as much money from you as they think they can get away with.

What you don’t understand is that if YouTube manages to get enough people by the balls with their anti-adblocking efforts, the next step is to start jacking up the subscription price year after year to see how much people are willing to pay.

Youtube 2026: you are no longer allowed to skip ahead in videos in order to blend the video and ad “experience” together.
