@union @deprecated_ii @weaf I probably did in school, but what really taught me to make maps? First person RPGs like Dungeon Magic.

@pro If you have to type them a lot it can get annoying. One job I had named all their servers after kinds of sharks. The common servers were pretty easy (tiger, sandtiger, hammerhead) but the VM hosts had ancient shark names (Helicoprion, Palaeospinax, etc.)

https://mangadex.org/title/66542ad9-bfc4-4953-9941-c359e513d6fe/isekai-shachuuhaku-monogatari-outrunner-phev This one seems to be a big long car ad, but it's also somewhat amusing for being similar to the River Song storylines of Dr Who.

@pro (If you want to avoid a reference that is shared between 90's anime and anime from 6 years ago, there's also Tharsis City.)

@pro What do you need long ones for? My three wifi access points, I have one named after Golden Sun II characters, one after Persona 3 characters, and one after Disgaea 6 characters, mostly range from 4 to 8 chars long.

You could call it AlbaCity though, after a location in Cowboy Bebop and Carole and Tuesday.

@pro I might need to buy a wifi 6 or 7 router soon, I'm also rearchitecting my house backbone, but mostly to switch some of the links to Fiber 10GBE. Still only one router, though I've been considering using a Forbidden Router (one running inside a VM, with the cable line coming into the vm host on a vlan.)

As long as ISPs are reasonable, they'll be giving /56's to those who need more than one network, and that gives you 256 subnets to screw with without nat. there's enough address space to give every current ipv4 internet address 2^24 of these 256 subnets. A lot of ISPs just let you request a /56 no questions asked.

@RadicalEdward No waffle houses in Altoona.

@pro You've gotten much farther than I have then.

@pro Eh, I've still been unable to pick it up yet either, but that's mostly because every time I try, I get a few pages into the tutorial and get bored.

@anime @deprecated_ii Hah, Yeah, that one is surprisingly good. He is doing a very bad job at sponging though.

@pro @sfalken I live where I do, in western colorado, precisely because the power is so stable here, and there's nearly no natural disasters to worry about. (Basically, forest fires that manage to spread across the desert scrublands, super volcanoes, and the crazy politics of Denver are the only things to worry about.)

@selfsame Watch the Onion go around buying all of the media like a giant Katamari of Failure.

@zaitcev I think Russia lost somewhat more, but in order for Ukraine to be ultimately successful they need to have like an 8:1 ratio, and they're WAY short of that.

@fribbledom There are minesweeper-like games where you never have to guess out there. One I play a lot is Knarly Hexes. There's also Prismapix. There's a few others I've played on Steam as well.

@amirrajan @gureito Some people out here trying to improve Emacs, my current editor instead tried to improve vi. Enjoying using Helix so far...

@pro @phnt @zaitcev @get I have to wonder though, if it's only because of the license, then why doesn't Illumos do better? It has a much more restrictive, GPL-ish license, it does allow one company to use it like BSD, but everyone else is stuck. It also has a much more mature OS base than FreeBSD and includes ZFS, yet its drivers are much worse and it doesn't nearly have the same level of support as the BSDs and Linux.

@pro @phnt @zaitcev @get Eh, I still enjoy using it, FreeBSD makes a much better file server than Linux. Linux, you never know if ZFS will be working after an update, since the devs of the kernel are fairly hostile to zfs. They keep failing whenever they try to make a zfs replacement too. bcachefs and btrfs are both garbage.
