Looks like explosion resist, chest HP, and bleed prevention. Neat.

Any indication on what the armor perk is?
Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)

Daniel Radcliff famously did something like that when he was on broadway. Got 10 sets of the same shirt, hat, and jeans, left half at home and half at the theatre. Came and left wearing the same thing for year so the images coulden’t be dated. Paparazzi made no money off him and threw a fit over it, twas glorious.

- Comment on Day 305 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 3 weeks ago:
My nerd herd likes the game, although we quickly have been adding mods to ramp up the difficulty and add some quality of life stuff. For a social game, I like it over Lethal Company because everyone gets to participate and there is no designated AFK role that watches the cameras or activates the teleporters.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 3 weeks ago:
I feel like Leeroy Jenkins is the millenials “Jeronimo”, I 100% shout it in its place and I can assure you some shouted it while jumping out of an airplane and their instuctor or officer had no clue what they were talking about, and that will always make me chuckle.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 3 weeks ago:
I would totally take one for 15k (only if its used, never from tesla itself) take the batteries out, sell those and put the frame on a truck and drive it out to an event or protest and let people smash whats left. Let people rent a sledge hammer for a bit and vent, would be a fun and very public statement. Once thats done sell it as scrap. The batteries should alone should cover the next one.

- Comment on Checkmate, Atheists! 1 month ago:
The historic context that makes Inferno so damn funny is that Dante wrote most of it while in exile from Florence and had a massive axe to grind with the people responsible for it. Glossing over the boring parts you can find on his wikipedia page, his family, and by extension Dante were supporters of a political party within the papal states (early 1300s) and they got ousted from their positions. While traveling around Italy, he penned “The Divine Comedy”, a story about himself bumming around the christian afterlife with the Roman poet Virgil.
Overly Sarcastic Productions has a good overview of the basic plot Link, and Im quite a fan of their work (this is one of their older videos). The part that this meme is calling attention to is that Dante wrote several recently deceased popes and many of his political rivals into his self-insert fan-fiction of hell (Inferno). In modern parlance, he was being a massive troll, but that work is also so influential that many practicing christans can’t tell the difference between the afterlife according to their own scripture (which there is very little actual description of) and its pop-culture interpritation by our Italian mad lad condeming people who screwed him over in life to enternal torment in his own renaissance live-journal.

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky bow and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.

- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 1 month ago:
Oh, im well aware that their design was a problem and they corrected it in their current cars. Old streotypes are hard to overcome, but at this point its just friendly ribbing about peoples choice in vehicles, like all hiking trails have an orange Subaru at the trail head and Carolla drivers like vanilla ice cream.
We all can collectivly egg on Tesla drivers because <gestures broadly to everything>
- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 1 month ago:
In terms of driver/car steotypes, I would prefer seeing this dork using their turn signals over any BMW or Tesla driver.

- Comment on Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero 2 months ago:
Think of it like one of those 3-inch swiss army knives, but for IR tech and radio. If you mean to do work. Use the correct tool for the job, but there is no reason you cant acomplish what your trying to do. They are great for learning, if I was teaching a kids about cyber security, a flipper zero would be on the required tool kit.
Yes, you can do harm with them, per the previous analogy its still a knife. However, devices not hardened against simple replication attacks or brute force acomplished by something barely more powerful than a TI-84, those manufactures and customers needs to take the security of their products more seriously.
- Comment on How are you feeling? 2 months ago:
I get you. In light of recent events I ended up looking for answers in a philosophy text book and landed on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his social contract.
There were two points to me that stuck out, the first was that Rousseau how systems of governance become increasingly difficult the larger the group (modern communication would probably make this easier) and that the public will must be inclusive of all, not exclusive.
Looking out at the US today, I feel like it utterly fails in this philosophy (even though founders like TJ were a fan of his work), and while lot of places also fail, but the US at this point in time feels completly anathema to the concept of empathy, ethics, and the public will. Unfortunatly, the solution that historically tended to go hand in hand with these enlightenment ideals also got a bit choppy with kings, fairly revolty and that is a hard pill to swallow.

- Comment on Appropriate settings for a private matrix server 2 months ago:
Open registration is a flag in your config file. Its normally not there by default. Plus half the mobile apps do not support account creation pages of you have the flag turned on.
Room settings are what controls view/join roles from federated instances.
Im pretty new to this space, so if your up for talking shop.
- Comment on Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, with Meta's market share rising to 84%; Vision Pro shipments fell 43% QoQ in Q4, but its enterprise sales grew. 2 months ago:
Plus the early adopters are not going to be lay-people, they are going to be tech enthusiests and people who know what they are shopping for. Having Meta and their data harvesting gadgets all over your home is something they would be very concious of, and in my case, avoid entirely for that reason.
The outcome, is dispite the lower cost to get a VR headset, a lot of people still havent entered the space yet, due to the security concerns and refusal to accept the data collection terms of more afordable devices.
- Comment on Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee. 2 months ago:
We believe in you, there are other write-ups and guides on how to get it working. Its was great learning expirence for VMs and Proxmox (thats what I did and it did make it harder, but I feel more confident when im cosplaying as a sys-admin)
This one is pretty close to whats needed, but go into it expecting each step to open a new tool/application that needs to be researched before you press enter. Also look up how to set it to a PSQL db before you start inviting users, it defaults to SQLite and that will cause problems eventually.

Hell yah, TS3 crew all the way. (Or TS5 for the zoomers…)
My nerds herd recently also set up a cluster of Matrix Synapse servers so we got our little “We have Telegram at home” set up. Getting non-tech people to accept that this is how to find me has been tricky without sounding like a digital prepper.
