I’ve been having a lot is f fun with Green Hell, which was on sale recently. It has a surprisingly good story for a survival game that gets better the further along the game.

There’s one very annoying bug though. If you save, harvest something, die and reload, the resource does not respawn. This can really screw you over if you get an infection, you find and harvest some medicinal plant and then still die because it took you too long to find. Because when you reload, the plant you finally found is gone and now you need to find another, even further away!

All the good stuff from Ubuntu has mostly been upstreamed into Debian. And Debian’s rekease cycle is much faster these days than it was back then. So, just run Debian.

I have good experience with Soverin.net

Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description

Since MS forced the upgrade, you should get 2025 for free. That would probably be really easy to argue in court

ZFS isn’t built-in. I don’t know enough about btrfs to recommend it.

Bog-standard Debian with LVM. LVM can also do RAID, but you could also do mdadm below LVM if you prefer. Keep it simple.

I don’t mind paying for something if the game is good, as long as it is not pay to win. I bought some starter pack for Path of Exile. I have hundreds of hours in that game, so I bought some stash tabs and cosmetics.

Yup, already subscribed!

I’d recommend:

• The Outer Wilds
• Graveyard Keeper
• Subnautica

Yes, I do the same with my wishlist. The only expensive games I consider are multiplayer games I can play with my friends. I bought Deep Rock Galactic, Sea of Thieves and Valheim for that reason

Have you considered to become a patient gamer? I always wait for a game to drop in price before buying it. That way you know from other people’s experience whether it’s a good game or not, and you save money. On hardware too! No need for the latest hardware if you don’t run the latest games.

I’m always ordering weird shirts off the internet. From like video games, Youtube channels, FOSS and general geeky fun stuff. About once or twice a year some total stranger will say “cool shirt!” out of nowhere. That always makes me smile the rest of the day 😊

I personally though ED was quite shallow. Deeper than e.g. No Man’s Sky but still very “fake”. The economy is just a bunch of RNG, nothing real. I recently got into X4: Foundations which is much better IMHO. It really simulates the entire economy and production chains. You can carry out supply chain attacks on your enemies. It’s like a cross between ED and Stellaris.

22421382 here. I can’t believe I still know that number by heart after 20+ years.

Bad bot

I was well into my 40’s when my kid was born, so I’ve had it both ways. I vastly prefer the kid. Yes it sucks to not being able to do some stuff on occasion. It even sucks more that my parents are gone so I have a real hard time finding babysitters. But I just love the little one so damn much!

The real people pushing this are lobbyists working for the companies that sell the monitoring software.

Never heard of this before, but it looks pretty good!

If you don’t pay for it, you can’t rely on it
