I want an Isekai where the protagonist is bored of Isekais and kills themselves over and over in search of a world where they want to stay.
In the last episode they actually find that world but die accidentally.

Drugs are good.
They make you do the things you know you not should.
And when you take them your friends think you’re cool! - Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 18 hours ago:
I was once skyping from Germany with my friend who was deep in some South American jungle and my brother somewhere in an African rain forest.
And I had to tell them my line was about to drop because I was entering my town.
- Comment on A matter of patience 21 hours ago:
It’s basically a disagreement on the expansion rate of the universe. Depending on how we measure it we get two vastly different numbers. And either our understanding of how the universe evolved after the Big Bang is wrong or we interpreted data from our telescopes incorrectly.
The hope with the launch lf JWST was that it would go away with better data. But it seems to be getting worse.
So that makes it more and more likely that our universe formation theories are wrong. This does not mean that there wasn’t a Big Bang. But it means that what we thought happened between the Big Bang and now isn’t quite right.
So we can expect some great new theories in the next decades.

Don’t agree. There is so mucb interesting stuff happening in astrophysics. It’s hard to choose one.
Vera Rubin going online is already giving us a huge boost to detecting near earth objects.
And neutrino astronomy is pretty much still in its infancy. There is still a lot to learn.
We’re finding older and older objects every month. A potential bio signature has been found on Mars. We discovered our third Interstellar visitor. The next stage of the moon mission is about to launch people around the moon in the next few months. The crisis in cosmology is getting bigger and bigger.
Astrophysics is in a great shape.

Try to get yourself a console with a lightgun like a NES. Those game are basically only possible on a CRT.

A few years ago I created a small pen & paper roleplaying game for my kids to play as dinosaurs. They very much wanted their dinosaurs to be feathered. The kids are alright.

- Comment on Have anyone here actually published a memoir or know of someone IRL (as in, you've met them face to face) that published a memoir? Do people actually read these? 1 week ago:
I’m currently reading my grandma’s memoirs. I’d really like to see them published, there are some really dramatic stories in there.
But I think it’s too much work for my aunts. They don’t want to publish them as they are without censoring names.
- Comment on ROCm on older generation AMD gpu 1 week ago:
I had it running on my Vega 64. But it had to be exactly one specific version of ROCm. Been a while since I’ve played around with that so I don’t remember the specifics.

Don’t know about the old games but Bomberman 64 has a whole ass single player campaign. Can’t remember the story. Can’t even remember if I managed to beat it. But it was kinda cool.

Yeah, I forgot Everdrive and stuff existed.
- Comment on Active Retro Consoles 1 week ago:
Commodore 64 and DOS are probably the easiest to actually release your game on physical media for. Especially with the new C64 Ultimate. The list would probably look vastly different if you reduced it to the ones you could play on the real hardware.
- Comment on Anti Spam - Anything better than SpamAssassin? 1 week ago:
I switched to rspamd. Its bayesian filter is a little weird. It only started working ok after I found the right amount of mails to feed to it. For some reason it forgot everything if I gave it too many mails. I think it’s a Redis thing. No idea. I don’t have the brain power to figure it out or write a proper bug report. But I think my Debian version is outdated anyways, so this might be fixed by now.
For my server learning from mails from the last 50 days was the sweet spot. Since then I got no false positives and only the occasional false negative. Exactly how I want my spam filter to be.
- Comment on Where to start with backups? 1 week ago:
The whole drive. The docker file and volumes are the bare minimum.
- Comment on Where to start with backups? 1 week ago:
In general you backup everything that cannot be recreated through external services. So that would be the configuration files and all volumes you added. Maybe logfiles as well.
If databases are involved they usually offer some method of dumping all data to some kind of text file. Usually relying on their binary data is not recommended.
Borg is a great tool to manage backups. It only backs up changed data and you can instruct it to only keep weekly, monthly, yearly data, so you can go back lately.
Of course, just flat out backing up everything is good to be able to quickly get back to a working system without any thought. And it guarantees that you don’t forget anything.
