Dang. This is almost my list as well, and the ones that are different I can totally see why they could be on someone else’s list. I like your taste in games.

• Outer Wilds
• The Return of the Obra Dinn
• I’ll bunch the Mass Effect trilogy together here
• Super Metroid
• The Last of Us
• Bioshock: Infinite
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Oxygen not Included
• Fallout: NV
• Diablo 2

I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

Whatever’s the current “big” issue in showbiz. I really couldn’t care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people’s lives.

I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don’t regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It’s personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.

It’s sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.

Steam streaming is pretty cool too, I use it very often.

The first time I tried a sausage sizzle from Bunnings, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it’s because all my mates have been recommending giving it a try and hyping it up and whatnot, and I was really looking forward to it when I finally got around to it, but I didn’t really find it all that after the fact.

I mean, it’s not bad. It’s a couple of bucks, it’s a great sausage on white bread, I’d get it again no worries. I kinda just expected more I guess.

I actually thought the organization stuff is pretty good, coming from keepassxc myself. The way we have it set up is that each of the members of our family all have VW accounts, and we have a common organization shared among us for stuff we all use (e.g. home devices). It’s all in one installation, so it’s pretty convenient. I don’t think I can do the same as easily with keepass.

That being said, keepass is a really solid piece of software. I’d recommend it myself.

and/or Vaultwarden as a selfhosted alternative.

I’m admittedly not as knowledgeable about it as I’d like, but I also have a similar system. A primary encrypted Linux partition wuth a dualboot into Windows for times I absolutely need to go into it (which admittedly has been coming up less and less).

What I tell myself is that, sure, in the best case that everything works as I’d like, the rootkit can never bleed into the Linux side of stuff, and I’m really only ever at risk when I’m actively on the Windows, and even then if Riot remains a good citizen, nothing will happen. It’s an (increasingly) small window of vulnerability.

Thing is, I’ve seen complete systems go down because of “small windows of vulnerabilities” before. Catastrophic failures, more times than I’d have liked. Who knows, maybe someday someone manages to exploit that window and use it to, for example, piggyback into your home network and access your devices. I dunno, call me paranoid.

In my head, installing something like a kernel anticheat is really not worth it. It’s a huge over reach of privilege for so little gain for the user. And frankly, I don’t trust Riot to be a good citizen with that much privilege on my machine.

Panic at the Cisco is up there for me.

I’ve been having difficulty joining private trackers as well, but mostly I’ve just been trying to apply to a few that I think I’d like to join. Don’t quite understand why I don’t get an invite though. I maintain a perma up seedbox, and wouldve thought that was mostly what’s important for private trackers.

As someone who’s having a bit of difficulty finding great incremental games, would you mind giving aome recommendations?

I moved to Proton from Gmail + friends, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’ve tried degoogling, and while that hasn’t always been successful, email and calendar have been two of the absolute simplest things to leave behind in Google.

One (quite unknown) perk you get with certain Proton plans is you also get access to SimpleLogin, which is an email proxy service. It’s great if you set it up on one of your domains, so you can create not just unique passwords but also unique email addresses for accounts you create online.

I’ve set up my Spotify to tell Last.fm what songs I listen to (aka scrobble). Over time, Last.fm gets a pretty good idea of what songs you like, so when I wanna discover new songs, I go to Last.fm, ask it to play me a mix, and direct it to play the songs through my Spotify. I find that its recommendations are much better than what I get from using Spotify alone.

The public library I go to has tons of communal spaces, as well as a makerspace. I love it!
