It does look nice! Are you familiar with the languages and frameworks it used, so that you could potentially clean it up under the hood?

Out of curiosity, why did you ask for a self hosted version instead of making a little web app and sharing it? I wouldn’t think you’d have any data in there worth protecting.

Sure, but it sounds like every player would need to fall in the same hole or they couldn’t progress.

I’m sure they managed, but that’s not a great design.

That’s frustrating. How were you meant to find that?

That’s true. Offense is always easier than defense.

Perhaps, but see the tons of imagined issues raised on bug bounty sites by LLMs. Maybe it’s right sometimes, but it’s very often wrong!

In the best cases, those would be ML but not specifically an LLM, no?

I would have at least tried, but I was with my family and didn’t want to abandon them.

Tawny Newsome and Eugene Cordero often guested on comedian Paul f. Tompkins’ SPONTANEANATION podcast. They are HILARIOUS!

Here’s Tawny’s list of episodes: https://spontaneanation.fandom.com/wiki/Tawny_Newsome

Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes… they were my kind of people.

I mean, if I thought anybody wanted to see it I’d wear a boobwindow too. I’m no Khan, sadly.

What is that? The space city from Valerian, maybe?

BT jumpships have a cool design, with a HUGE deployable solar sail to recharge their capacitor bank for the next Kearny-Fuschida jump. I’ll grant you that they aren’t much to look at.

On the fan-produced audio drama “Outpost” about Deep Space 3 on the First Federation (TOS) border, there is an officer from Sigma Iosha and she talks like a mobster! It’s a really fun nod to this bit of old lore.

Not a caption, just a thought.

The 34th Rule of Acquisition is “War is good for business”.

That was gonna be my question.

Thank you. I don’t have a good eye for famous people.

Who is the guy?

You betcha. For people who care to use something other than the stock launcher, the way we set up our home pages is a bunch of personal preferences that you may not even be able to fully list.

Here’s what I’ve got so far, but I’ve only been playing for a week. Everything below the calendar widget and above the podcast widget is an app “drawer”. It scrolls vertically if I have more apps than for on the visible part, and I get to set the number of displayed rows and columns, labels, icon shape, etc as you’d expect.

You can put stuff in folders of course, and in the paid version, SUB folders, and there’s also that odd search and tag button group on the right. You can tag apps with one (or more?) labels like “work” and filter the visible app drawer by that. I don’t use that so far.

I get to choose how many apps are pinned at the bottom (Or get rid of the bar altogether!). I have swipe actions on some of them. Every single element of the screen can be resized, overlap (there’s a button to move an item forward/backward through the layers), be moved, or gotten rid of. At minimum, you could have an absolutely blank screen top to bottom, and a swipe from (any) edge action to open one of the app drawer variants. The whole screen could just be the app drawer.

It’s not QUITE perfect for me, because I’m annoying and picky, but it’s working well enough. I’m feeling like I’ll be fiddling with this forever. There’s even a Star Trek LCARS theme that I want to try. ($5 I think)

I think this is common to all launchers, but you can try this one or and NOT set it as your default launcher. You’ll only see your Total Launcher home screen when you click on the Total Launcher app from the stock launcher, then, until you are happy with it.

Democratic voters do. The party leadership doesn’t seem to care.
