Fair, I guess at that point, it might just not be the kinda game for you. It is grindy by design, the official game, of course, wants you to stay in the game longer so you buy more subscription time.
Idk, I enjoy playing OSRS on occasion, they added sailing as a skill, and honestly it was pretty cool. Having your own boat and being able to freely sail around the entire map. I mostly play for the nostalgia though.
In case you might be interested, there are a handful of private-servers for old school RuneScape. And they usually give you the ability to choose an XP multiplier. 2009scape for instance, gives you a 5x multiplier by default.
They’re not 100% complete recreations, but they add more quests all the time and I believe they have most skills.
Worth checking out imo. You can even download and run your own copy of their server (with some effort), and then you can tweak literally anything (again with effort and knowledge of Java)
I don’t have a concrete example but I’ve talked to an online friend who works in IT and he claims the majority of his work is just renewing and applying certificates. Now he made it sound like upper management wanted them to specifically use a certain certificate provider, and I don’t know their exact setup. I of course have mentioned certbot and letsecrypt to him but yea, he’s apparently constantly managing certs. Whether that’s due to lack of motivation to automate or upper managements dumb requests idk
Ive had an oxo burr for about 10 years now, I did replace the burrs but turns out they’re almost identical to the ones a higher end brand uses, so I ordered theirs and fit them in. I wouldn’t say I’m 100% satisfied with the grinder as a whole, the removable bean holder is a little fickle to reattach when there’s bean particles in the grinder. But hey it still works and I use it every day
Hmmm, you could just… leave them submerged in the oil? Would that protect them from the smoke? I don’t know. I’ll have to look into these “underwater” builds though because that does sound cool.
I second this. I have notifications set up via homeassistant, and if I want to view a feed I just VPN in
If we’re talking about longest span of time, not necessarily most total hours. Then it would be RuneScape. Started playing back when the wild had no protections. Then after all the changes they made, and once OSRS came out, I went to that instead. Just got my 20-year cape on rs3
Great time to. I just got into it and while I never was interested in HAM, meshtastic is fun
So like, just banning VPN provider companies? e.g. NordVPN and the like?
Seems silly to me, yea sure that would probably cut out some people. But if you’re determined enough it’s not hard to go rent a cheap VPS and roll your own VPN using wireguard.
Idk, just seems messy
I don’t know how they would effectively ban VPNs. Especially since they have so many use-cases in the business world. Have two offices you want to connect together? VPN. Want remote work employees to access company assets? VPN.
Not sure how they’d ban specific usecases of VPNs
I’ve done It before. It’s just highly dependent on the PDF. What software made the pdf? What format was it in prior to being a PDF? Is it a scanned image of text? Or does it have actual text.
Another option, that might work better, might not, though it would be more work, is use something like Microsoft Word first. Word can open a PDF and “convert” it to Word format. After that, you spend a lot of time fixing all the formatting which will probably be fucked up.
And then, once you have a nice clean Word doc, convert that to epub.
IMO everyone should read Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson. Really sets the stage for further reading into dog training, but is also great to just demystify a lot of misconceptions people have about dog behavior in general. 100% this one.
I have thought about different ways to do that. Both iOS and android have the ability to run scripts upon certain triggers such as joining a certain Wi-Fi network. (On iOS the Shortcuts app can do this). I’ve thought about using that to post to the already running mqtt broker and using that to update my system. Or I’ve thought about just snooping all the nearby Wi-Fi clients to my server, and if it detects my phone, do something similar.
Or I suppose you could turn it around, before the system decides it has an intruder, check to see if your phone is in fact at home via some method. Either scanning for it on Wi-Fi or some other way.
You could set it up like that yes, I suppose it would be bad opsec to give away exactly how I set mine up. But HA certainly has the ability to be informed when your phone comes home and change what alerts are sent out based on that
Unfortunately not quite so good. Maybe there exists a model that can do facial recognition. But the model I have loaded on mine just spits out “dog”, or “person”, or “car”. The false-positives I was referring to it not having, is what you’d typically get with a pixel-based motion detection camera. Where if it sees a leaf on a tree move, it alerts you.
Mine, at least that leaf needs to look convincingly like a person.
You can read more about the Coral at https://coral.ai/models/
I have a frigate setup. I run it through Docker and I even have the Coral AI processor chip hooked up. Which is pretty neat, runs local pattern recognition for people, annimals, etc. I use generic IP cams on their own network. I think pretty much anything that supports RTSP would work. Then hooked up to HA via MQTT, again all in docker. With the coral, I only get notifications if it actually detects a person. The false positives are extremely rare. And I use Tailscale for access from outside the LAN
You could be right. I am not a pro so I don’t really want to speak on the best practice approach. Really the only reason I containerize my services is the ease-of-deployment and the ease of potential re-deployment if my server did crash.
I personally am not too stressed about bad actors, being as this is a hobby server and the payout for a bad actor would be pretty low.
But your point does make sense to me.
I also do this. Just run Tailscale on bare metal and then I can access my all my services the same as if I was on my LAN, essentially.
+1 on duplicity. I run it directly on the host, outside of my docker containers. Grabs the data from the different volumes for my Nextcloud etc, puts it all into an AWS infrequent access bucket. Costs me ~3$USD/month. Pretty simple. Runs on cron
My suggestion would be games with community run servers. They often moderate their own servers, and therefor much less cheating.
Now, my two recommendations might not be for everyone. Arma Reforger and Squad. Squad used to be a solid recommendation from me, but they fucked with the gun handling as well as ruined performance. So it’s a light recommendation.
Arma Reforger is a great time.
You might also check out DayZ. They also have community servers which are moderated, and they’re really good at catching cheaters.
