Wut? BG3 runs flawlessly out of the box for me. Pretty vanilla Mint install, Nvidia 4060.

Yup, wrote that way too early after walking up. Fixed.

I’m sure JFK Jr will get right on that any day now…

Doesn’t sound like human trafficking. But it could easily have lead to it.
- Comment on Does not having a (mainstream) social media account make you look suspicious to the authorities? Is it a good idea to have an innocent looking social media account just to look "normal"? 6 days ago:
As SuperSleuths designated online fed, I can confirm that he’s also a fed. It’s a circle of online monitoring.

Septic tank -> Yank. A brit slang for American I picked up somewhere.

Scandinavian here. I’ve noticed the same thing with Saunas. Not just Americans, though, but brits too.
Because having any articles of clothing on in a sauna is stupid. (I’ll defer to the Finns for a final judgement on that statement, but that’s my firm opinion, at least).
Short story: A b7nch of coworkers and I had to spend 24 hours in a Rio de Janeiro hotel for a medical exam the day after. And of course we did what any self-respicting doodlebugger would do: we went to the roof bar. After way too much beer vodka and whisky we realized that there was also a sauna there. So we did the only thing appropriate; undressed and chilled in the steam. And for us scandinavians that meant nudity. For anyone else it meant prudity. And we were an eclectic mix of nationalities.
Brit: “Uh, what are we doing here”
Swede: “We’re bonding”
Septic: “This is kinda gay…”
Norwegian: “SHUT UP, WE’RE BONDING” - Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 1 week ago:
I put the plates upside down in the sink at let the hot water run over them for a little bit.
- Comment on How are you feeling? 1 week ago:
Work: Pretty chill in general, but especially nowadays
Family: Kids are healthy and growing
Hobbies: I’ve reconnected with some earlier hobbies of mine and rediscovered why I loved it to begin with.
Household: Almost done refurbishing this one room.
Money: Perfect storm of good news, such as tax return, expense claim payout, and misc other things result in me finally being able to afford a much needed car upgrade.All in all, slightly better than usual
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 1 week ago:
Estimated usefulness compared up against practicality. Of course you want it where people are, and at yhe same time you want the bus to be able to stop without obstructing traffic.

I’d go as far as saying he wrangles.

Be sure to reserve enough time
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 week ago:
Dutch with nukes. May the lords and ladies have mercy.
- Comment on Does the beginning of "Money for Nothing" remind you of "Shine on you crazy diamond?" 1 week ago:
Not directly, but it does carry a similar vibe.
I would say SOYCD intro is more similar to the intro of Dream Theater - Octavarium. Shouldn’t be surprising because the former was part of the inspiration for the latter.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but not as much as many other metals. We’retalking large amounts over a long period of time.
On sidenote, everything is poisonous, it’s just a matter of dosage.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 2 weeks ago:
That’s why those of us who poison people for fun and profit have started appending “in roblox”. The spooks will never catch us.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 2 weeks ago:
I’m thinking metal poisoning over time. Lead or copper, for example.
- Comment on Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch? 2 weeks ago:
Any system beyond a vanilla install will need some tweaks to fit your use case(s). And these tweaks often end up as a stack of glass boxes over time, unless meticulously planned purpose built from the beginning.
As long as it’s manageable and secure, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “operational”.
Wanting to rebuild from scratch is pretty common. The question is whether you need to and should. You have to weigh cost and work hours up against any benefits to figure out the answer.

- Comment on OMV remote access 2 weeks ago:
No, just one. You set up one device/server as a VPN gateway (often called VPN concentrator), and you will have access to anything the concentrator has access to on your home network.
- Comment on OMV remote access 2 weeks ago:
I have no experience with OMV specifically, but generally making things accessible from outside your house means exposing it ti the internet.
However, what you can do is to only expose an openvpn port, so that to gain access as if you were at home you could connect via o0envpn first.

- Comment on How did you get your job? 3 weeks ago:
Copypasting my answer from the previous thread:
My current specific employment: A coworker of mine was laid off from my former employer, and joined the competition instead. Turns out that they needed what I do, and were willing to pay whatever it took, so they poached me with an offer I couldn’t refuse.
My job: Covid happened, and cuts were made among the field crew. I landed a role in the support structure instead, where I’ve been ever since.
My career: No fucking idea what happened. In 2008 I applied for a job and I had no idea what it was, and for which I was severely under qualified. I got it anyway. Turns out that being used to heavy machinery, computers/linux, and jury rigging was exactly what they were looking for, depsite wanting all sorts of degrees.

How much are we talking? Are there any documented suicide by nutmeg?
- Comment on Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options? 4 weeks ago:
DO NOT call the police. They will confiscate the server as evidence, and lakking any other suspect, you will be their primary lead. Police aren’t about convictions or justice, they want to consider a case solved.
By law, you are not liable. But because of law enforcement incentives, it will absolutely become your problem.
- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 4 weeks ago:
I’d say techbro is pretty gender neutral, in the same way “dude” and “guys” are.

Encrypted, written to LTO, vacuum sealed and buried somewhere temperate.
