- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 1 week ago:
“Why are online discussions about politics more hostile than offline discussions?
A popular answer argues that human psychology is tailored for face-to-face interaction and people’s behavior therefore changes for the worse in impersonal online discussions…
Across eight studies, leveraging cross-national surveys and behavioral experiments (total N = 8,434), we test the mismatch hypothesis but only find evidence for limited selection effects.
Instead, hostile political discussions are the result of status-driven individuals who are drawn to politics and are equally hostile both online and offline.
Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.”This fits with our understanding of personality disorders, which is that they are a small percentage of our society—around 10.5 percent, according to the recent DSM-5-TR.3
I try to avoid all politics online because it’s all raging and it’s honestly depressing that 10.5% can dominate a space like that.

Haven’t played the VN but I really enjoyed the anime. It’s the same story and my understanding is that while the VN explains things deeper and more thoroughly the anime is one of those adaptions that the source material (VN) fans like.

- Comment on 1 week ago:
The first three character classes to appear in D&D were the Fighting-Man (now called the fighter), Magic-User (now called the wizard) and Cleric. The first supplement introduced Thief (now called Rogue) and Paladin (as a Fighter sub class). The list grew a bit with f.e. druid and ranger but then with adnd 2e it was re-organized again with all character classes falling under the four traditional abstract archetypes: Warrior, Wizard, Priest, and Rogue.
So it came from the humble beginnings I’d say. It also makes the game more fun when you have your own specialty. Having two bards argue about who’s the better one at haggling does sound like a fun rp opportunity though.

I’ll take yournword for it, I’ve never used Lightroom.
Whenever I played around with Darktable it seems finding a tutorial to get the effect I wanted was just a minute of searching away, and there’s a ton of beginner tutorials available too.
www.darktable.org/2024/12/howto-in-5.0/But then I was the kid that rtfm the game manual on my way home from the store and love dense UIs as an adult. :)

My understanding is that a lot of tech debt has been removed with the release of 3.0 and I’m hopeful it will make future updates simpler and faster. :)

With GIMP 3.0 it’s a bit better at least, they’ve finally added non-destructive editing:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfaq-Cm1ZkAFull changelog here:
www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.htmlI’d dare say that unless you’ve already learnt Photoshop (and have to unlearn it) then Darktable+GIMP works fine for home photo editing.
If you’re used to Photoshop and your skills with it is what puts bread on the table… then I completely understand not switching tools. - Comment on Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service? 2 weeks ago:
On the other hand, using bitwarden might require some level of trust. How much should I trust the company to use the free service?
How do I know if my passwords would be safe, not being exposed to the wide net?Wouldn’t these questions be as true of the VPS service that hosts Vaultwarden as of Bitwarden?
If my internet at home was better I would be selfhosting Vaultwarden and use a full vpn on my laptop/phone/tablet when leaving the house.
Now I’m using KeepassXC with my home pc as the true source and syncing copies of the database to my laptop and phone. - Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:

Depends on what parts of banished caught you. The mod lets you build much more visually pleasing cities by adding lots of different housing styles and so on. It also add many more production chains. Was many years since I played it and I think it was an earlier version of it.
Seems to still be up on the workshop too:

It only changes it so that you get your +5 choices if you have even one skill up in the category.
Without it the best way to play is to choose your main skills as Minor Skills and skills that are easy to avoid leveling up (and preferably easy to level up when you want to) as Major Skills to always get 3x +5 every level up.
With it you can let your character have major skills that you actively use during gameplay without gimping yourself. - Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 3 weeks ago:
Original is on GOG for 1/10th of the price too, tons of great mods to improve both graphics and gameplay.

A must have for me is the All Plus 5 mod so I don’t feel forced to power game my starting skills. - Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 3 weeks ago:
A classic one would be to go for BG1 and BG2
Then either play the enhanced editions with EET or play the originals with Baldur’s Gate Trilogy to allow you to play all three games as a singular campaign (as well as running BG1 in the same engine as BG2 if you go for the originals) - Comment on Advice wanted: Making reliable private cloud backups with Kopia. 4 weeks ago:
Options if it’s to protect against local disasters such as fire:
- Having a NAS at a family member / friends house as a backup location for your NAS (over vpn) is an option. Works best if they also need an offsite backup with you being able to spare space for it on your NAS in return.
- Having at least two usb drives as backup locations for the NAS and rotated as often as you think necessary and having at least one stored offsite at a family member / friends house.
- Rent a proper 1U rack space in the city data centre and setup your own “cloud”, definitely the most expensive option and total overkill if offsite backup is the only reason.
Personally I would probably go for option two and bring the usb drive with me for a weekly coffee with my parents, they’d enjoy the visit and I enjoy knowing that my backup isn’t in the hands of Amazon. I’d go for option 1 if my internet was better.

GOG stands for Good Old Games and preserving those and fixing them to be playable on modern systems is part of their business plan. Install GOG Galaxy and you can install the games with a few clicks, after buying them of course.
