- Comment on Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS 1 day ago:
No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Resonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

Why is this arbitrarily “a whole different story” and who said anything about UWP, it’s the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that “optional feature” and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

Ok, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer.
- Comment on Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS 2 days ago:
At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn’t offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

Very very simple. Really? I find it quite feature packed for a notes taking app.

logseq
Its an outliner, a colleague of mine basically lives in that thing.
silverbullet
It’s almost perfect for me but the browser based editing made it unusable because there is no way to unmap Ctrl + W in a browser and I can’t live without my Vim bindings.
QOwnNotes
This is the solution for normal people who don’t spend n+1 hours tweaking their editor configuration.
Org-Roam
For people who do spend n+1 hours tweaking their emacs configuration.

They plan waste $130 million on AI bullshit. Imagine a fraction of that invested into the actual browser. I can’t even eat as much as I want to vomit.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I think there are some differences that make the fediverse more resilient to this. For example, the absence of cumulative account karma keeps out the reddit style karma farming. The ability to ban whole instances also makes it easier to kick out bad actors. Instance admins could also implement their own rules like switching to an invite based system to reduce bot spam. Also it seems to me that reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin.

- Comment on Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only 2 months ago:
See Wikipedia:
The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.
Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.
In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.
Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.

- Comment on Solutions for remote access? 2 months ago:
No, I use a second reverse proxy for my local network. For example, I can resolve navidrome either via my VPS using
navidrome.mydomain.netor directly in my local network with the addressnavidrome.local.mydomain.net. I also configured the local caddy reverse proxy with a DNS provider module to get LetsEncrypt certificates for my local addresses. - Comment on Solutions for remote access? 2 months ago:
I use a wireguard tunnel that connects to a cheap VPS and then configured a caddy reverse proxy on that VPS that makes my services available on the internet.

Here is more information.
guildwars2.com/…/announcing-guild-wars-reforged/
Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.
And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!
This sounds promising.
- Comment on Guild Wars Reforged Announcement Trailer 3 months ago:
Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.
I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.

- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 3 months ago:
Gothic one and two are really good. In the first game you are dropped into a prison colony and very soon a guard will try to extract protection money from you. In any other game the guard would just kill you, instead you will meet another guy asking you for help. He then lures you to a secluded space reveals that he was sent by the corrupt guard and beats you unconscious to steal your money.
Another game I will never stop recommending because of its worldbuilding is the excellent Enderal: Forgotten Stories. I really like how it depicts the theocratic society of the continent the story plays out in. The story about what initially seems like a standard fantasy thieves guild but is actually a cult that shuns emotion and try to transcend the physical body, is also really good and ties in with the overarching plot of the game.
- Comment on ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS 4 months ago:
I would not recommend it. Session is a signal fork that deliberately removes forward secrecy from the protocol and uses weaker keys. The removal of forward security means that if your private key is ever exposed all your past messages could be decrypted.
