  Can’t really help you. I got through to the article, but the page doesn’t archive well and copying text on mobile is a pain.

  Just try again?

  I use email rules to filter those ones out. Linux server containers are especially egregious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of the people who is happy with my next cloud setup (outside of never quite getting only office to work in browser after I hooked it all up to a reverse proxy behind HTTPS), but I always try to keep my eye on developments in the space for a potential better solution. I looked at OCIS a while back, but it didn’t have the quality of life features that I enjoy to make it worth me switching from a working Nextcloud deployment.

  Does OCIS have a desktop client that supports on-demand file synchronization (a la OneDrive) rather than just selective folder sync? Does it support storing files as is in a natural directory structure or is everything stored as a flat file blob? Is it able to handle external storage even if that external storage is physical storage on a container mount point?

  Does NWN2 have a strong modding scene?

  I played a shitload of NWN and that would have been my pick, but From my recollection NWN2 multiplayer custom servers died when Obsidian put in the (insane) requirement to download terrain mesh’s outside of the game.

  I haven’t circled back to the NWN2 enhanced edition to see if that was ever reworked.

  That was a great rabbit hole to fall in.

  This is the level of pedantry I can get behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve said something with such absolute certainty that is not making sense to me.

  Now I’m not versed in Japanese tax law, but Japan does follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). I’m also not versed in the capitalization of video game development expenses.

  A business is going to write down their asset based on their ability to generate future revenue from it. With Concord dead on arrival, it would be fair to say that they would write down everything related to the individual game development. If they left any asset on the books it would be related to the IP/trademarks/copyrights/etc (maybe some transferrable technology if they are getting really specific).

  I’m not able to make the connection between issuing takedowns on community servers/videos and the accounting write off of an impaired asset. Issuing takedowns seems more in line with IP protection.

  I don’t have an answer for you but I will say I am jazzed to learn there is a hostable version of Orca.

  Which I would have learned earlier had I read the article!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't speak for the USA, but typically in Canada (Ontario) people would not want to return to the employer but force a greater settlement.

  Also, in Ontario, an employer that is found to be union busting would result in automatic certification of the union - no vote needed.

  Thank you for doing this. I had not clued in that tempo had stopped development.

  When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.
