to be fair i actually didn't update for a few months
  • My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.

  • What do the +X feet markings indicate?

    I'm getting ready to run Icewind Dale, and noticed some of the maps have this marking in them, but none of them call attention to it or explain it. Does it indicate height, or something weird like "this ramp is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 30 feet" or "30 feet extra ramp here we didn't have space for, stretch it out when you run it"?

    After all, how far inland could a hurricane go?

  • The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • It's the little things. One of my biggest gripes is that EVERY TIME you run apt update, it shoves an add for Ubuntu pro at the bottom of tge output, which shoves all the info I actually care about offscreen. Pure bullshit. It sounds small, but when I need to check which packages are getting updated, it makes my life a bit more inconvenient. And I do most things through CLI, so I see this a lot.

    Shit like that has been my entire experience with Ubuntu. I deeply regret switching to it, and I'm switching off as soon as I can get another hard drive to swap in.

  • Is my proxy setup safe?

    I'm currently working on setting up a proxy on my home computer to bypass my school's blockers, and want to see if I can make any improvements to security. To be clear, I haven't opened this to the internet yet, I'm asking BEFORE doing that.

    The setup is thus: I have a squid server running on my linux laptop, which will only allow authenticated users through. It's no longer listening to the default port (3128) and is instead listening to a port in the 10000-20000 range. I would have both my router and modem set to forward that same port, and my laptop's local IP address is static.

    This is a consumer internet connection, so Dynamic DNS, but I have a NOIP address ready to connect once I open the ports (already have the client installed and running, just throws an error on the website because it can't get through the port.)

    I'll be connecting to my proxy server through the FoxyProxy extension, rather than through the Windows 11 control panel on my school laptop, because I dont have access to that specific part of the control panel.

    That's the sum total of the setup I've got thus far. It only needs to be able to support my lone connection, I'm not sharing this around. Any improvements to be made?

  • For younger generations, what was it like growing up with the internet?
  • Latish Gen Z here, it never really needed to click. Its been there the whole time, so it's just a norm part of life, like it's always been. Like, I get that it's insane, but it's not out of the norm for me, because it IS my norm. My parents were decently strict when I was little, but once I hit my tweens they gave me a LOT of slack.

  • Automachef is the most unique factory game I've ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

    Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It's got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
  • 3 meals a day is completely unnecessary, and just eating one large meal works just as well. Saves time, too. I can sleep in because no breakfast to worry about cooking, lunch can be used to just relax or do something else, and then dinner is larger, but cooking more of the same food doesn't generally take that much longer.

    Why do I need to update my graphics drivers?

    I'll be playing a game, and then one day it won't work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn't receive an update, so why does it just break?

    Where does plaque come from?

    I know it's bacteria, but where is that bacteria coming from? Why doesn't brushing, flossing, mouth washing, or getting a deep clean at the dentist get rid of it entirely?

    [SOLVED][Game] VR RPG

    Game is Journey of the Gods, for anyone else looking!

    I only remember the first big fight; you had a crossbow and sword, and were fighting a tentacle thing made of black ooze on a farm. The game overall was about becoming a god, with the gods being birds and you collecting feathers to ascend.

    I originally played it on the Oculus Quest.
