@Cheeseness @murks That hurt a lot of kickstarter games, since on those it's the devs sending the keys out, so all the people who bought through the kickstarter couldn't review it.

@anime (I did wonder why he didn't A. take the orphans back to his town with his new magic user, or B. check the orphans for any talents they might have either.)

@anime The first follower seemed plausible, if you're filtering through an entire town for overlooked talent, finding one who everyone else would overlook for another reason seems realistic. The next two are progressively less realistic though, but yeah, Lydia makes a lot of sense.

@anime I've read through it up to now, it's quite good, I'll have to add that to my feed reader.

@QTpuff If grok isn't allowed on NA Social, I'm glad I'm running my own instance instead.

@tomasino Bing seems to do better then, but google has gotten rid of the translation entirely.

@stuff (It is a Legacy 36 Limited edition though, so it's very nice for a used car.)

@stuff I didn't want to buy new, and all they had on the lot used was that one Legacy 36, and a bunch of foresters and outbacks.

@stuff AWD cars are awesome. I took an AWD Jeep Compass rental over Monarch Pass in a blizzard and didn't slip once. Now I have my own Subaru Legacy AWD, and it's great.

@union So, I imagine if they pass it this will become a new tactic in the political game. Can you impeach the opposing president twice so that they fall under this act? Lets find out.

@stuff I like to have multiple feeds, like folders. If I have spare time, I'll go browse the noisy feed and see if there's anything interesting there. I usually don't read it in depth though, just skim it to see if there's anything interesting. I do the same thing with RSS, making a folder for sites that post 20+ times per day to isolate them from more important stuff I don't want to miss when skimming.

@union I've been thinking about making a separate account on my server just to follow people who post constantly, so that I can put all the noise in one place...

@jaycie $0. Since I pay $5 per month + $15/yr for a self-hosted server more tailored for my own needs, and allow list federation sounds very stifling.

The way we treat computers today, as dangerous objects to be feared and locked down — save for approved and sanitized drips from the mothercorp — is a tremendous disservice to a new generation of computer enthusiasts.

@stuff https://youtu.be/k9pxbz62rbo?t=2865 This guy thinks that if Gamestop does sell some of their shares, they're going to do it in such a way that it will make the company more valuable for the shareholders. I hope he's right, we'll see.

@stuff @Moon @emilis Would that help gamestop's financial situation? I'm sure some of the people buying would consider that a positive if gamestop sold shares at the current price and got enough cash to let them last through a few more years.

@fink @projectgus @kemonine @requiem You would have to define a cron job on each source for each destination, along with giving each destination an authorized key entry for every source that will connect to it, it's a lot of manual work for doing zfs syncing. Each destination gets a full copy of the data in the mount point though. Documentation says you can encrypt mount points and sync them encrypted as well, but I haven't tried.

https://youtu.be/dTchVKxx7Fo The guy who makes this also draws a comic that I read.

@requiem @kemonine @projectgus I use ZFS snapshots for backup with a combination of Syncoid and Sanoid. Sanoid maintains the snapshots and clears them out on schedule, and Syncoid synchronizes them with a remote zfs site. It's not exactly automatic though, you have to put a cron line in for every destination and every mount point you want to backup, and need ssh authorized keys defined on the destination site.
