Dad rule
  • I've already sunk 74 hours into it and is my new nighttime treat.

    Rougelike with poker hands (flush, straight, pair, etc.). Joker cards modify rules (extra chips or multipliers for certain cards) and tarot cards modify the deck (ie. remove, copy, modify cards).

    Score requirement goes up each round trying to beat at least 8 rounds to "win". Playing a couple rounds goes quick and it's easy to pause when you need to step away.

    Progression with new decks unlocked, new joker cards, and challenges.

  • Nearly 30 Percent Of The Top 100 Steam Deck Games Aren’t Verified
  • Same, but I can understand that Valve doesn't want to give false impressions that a game runs perfectly when there are imperfections as mentioned. Valve has high community trust.

    But yeah, I usually just read the incompatibility issues and usually decide it's not a big deal and play anyway.

  • No particular reason
  • What does Windows + D do? I was always a Windows + M to minimize. Then I learned how to make virtual desktops and Windows + Control + Left/Right to switch desktops to one with a bunch of benign windows open.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? 28 January
  • Just started Spark of the Everflame because my wife read the three books in the series on Kindle Unlimited in a weekend. I'm up to chapter 8 and it's fantasy with romance elements. It seems interesting. I'm trying to finish all three before starting something else cause my wife wants to talk about it.

  • Water spritz method for espresso
  • I accidentally misread the instructions when I first heard of this and added 5ml of water for 25g of beans. The beans were chunkier after grinding but was the best cup of coffee I've ever made, definitely more delicious than dry grinding. Unsure how it compares to spritzing instead but just adding water works for me.

  • Video Archive

    Sorry to hear Tom isn't making videos anymore. Anyone know about an archive of his videos available for downloading for later viewing and archiving?

    Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.
  • Good products are worth sharing to help shape future products. Grass roots only works if the product is worth using. Vote with your wallet to help shape future products. While the previously poster can be viewed as an "ad", the post is same as a next door neighbor bringing it up. Mullvad doesn't do affiliate marketing or pay influencers.

    I used to use Mullvad but now I use a different service, but especially like to support open source products.

  • Language Learning Apps Harvest Data

    I should have known if the apps free, you're the product. Duolingo appears to harvest the most data compared to other language learning apps.

    Long Resting
  • The spells that require spell slots are definitely more fun and I will be resting more to have access to them.

    Also you just revolutionized my thought process once you informed me I can store all my food at camp.

  • Long Resting

    I've never played D&D and I'm getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I'm usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I'm usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge.

    How often is everyone else going through a long rest? I know there's a trade off of consuming camp supplies and so maybe I'm just the guy who saves all the items for end game and never ends up using them.

    Do you use you card for payments in sandboxed Google play?
  • I recommend using Privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that withdraw directly from a bank account. I see it as a VPN for credit card purchases. For US customers only, but obscures payment info to merchants.

    You can use a bogus name and address for the merchant billing information (in this case Google Play).

  • Hacker Archetypes - D&D Classes
    www.gosecure.net How Unparalleled RDP Monitoring Reveal Attackers’ Tradecraft - GoSecure

    Luring threat actors into RDP traps reveals attackers' tactics. This blog summarizes an hour-long presentation about what can be found in those traps.

    How Unparalleled RDP Monitoring Reveal Attackers’ Tradecraft - GoSecure

    Researchers analyzed 190 million hacking events on a honeynet and categorized the types of hackers into Dungeons and Dragons classses.

    Rangers evaluate the system and set conditions for a follow-on attack.

    Thieves install cryptominers and other profiteering software.

    Barbarians attempt to brute force their way into adjacent systems.

    Wizards connect the newly compromised system to a previous to establish 'portals' to tunnel through to obscure their identity.

    Bards have no apparent hacking skill and likely purchase or otherwise acquire access. They perform basic computer tasks.
