I recently picked up a Dell latitude 7300 for less than $300usd. It has two sodimm slots (supports 32gb) and up to 1TB SSD. I’m pretty happy with it although it’s a touch older than the x1 carbon gen8. The 7400 is slightly larger with a 14” display and is the same generation otherwise.

I’m running Linux mint on it and haven’t tried your specific distro.

Thanks for sharing. I think it’s an interesting way to approach life. I’ve found myself trying to get the most out of life by scheduling my free time so I can make sure I’m not wasting time. It broke down for me when I’d find myself not wanting to do that thing and then feeling guilty about wasting my time instead of acknowledging it’s ok to take time to make sure I’m in a good space.

I’m not at the “don’t need a vacation” phase but it’s a great idea to consider so thank you!

Oh I hadn't connected those dates together. Certainly it could have been part of his vision. It could be a very interesting world if FaceTime was available on other operating systems. Who knows what else may have come with it.

I remember this and thought I was crazy. There was an article linked somewhere on Lemmy last week that addressed this. It seemed like it was a Steve Jobs special - no one knew he was going to promise that. Subsequently, they got tangled up in a patent dispute with someone who owned a very vague communications protocol patent. That outcome has been appealed, from both sides, in courts basically since then.

I saw this two weeks ago. I had a few days where I thought I was going crazy because there was no "log in" link in the header, just a more obnoxious "open the app" button instead. After a few days I did see the log in button again, but I had already accepted the fact that I'd only be allowed to use their mobile app and convinced myself I'd close my account (which I subsequently did two weeks later)

I'm using a pi-hole on my network and I added reddit to the 'blocked list' to cut down on myself clicking the links. I should find a way to filter out the links from my search results easily, but this works for now.

I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.

For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.

Good advice. Mine came from a broken filament at the extruder. When I backed it out, the new end swung around and into the spinning fan. Not my favourite moment.

I am on iOS myself. I actually just use the built in reader. I just saved it to my home screen (PWA). Icon on Home Screen. Opens a browser view. Simple and didn’t need another app.

Thanks! I’m running caddy server on a raspberry pi (same machine as pi-hole). I use it for the reverse proxy mostly. It maps the domain to the specific machine. My pi-hole maps all the domains to the IP of the caddy server. Probably there’s a more efficient way to do this but I haven’t tried yet.

Thanks! The wiki is so helpful. It matches well with how I think so find myself documenting lots of non-writing projects (purchases, how I've set up computer , homelab documentation…

I have a d&d one shot coming up in the summer so will have some content to iron out for then!

A freak accident put a piece of filament into my hotend cooling fan. Like a hickey stick to a bike wheel. Things went poorly. So until I find the time to replace it, I’m printing nothing.

However if I was operational, I’d be printing a mix of dungeon tiles for a dnd one-shot this summer and Barbie-scale accessories for my kid.

 

I’m curious what everyone here is using their worlds for? Are you creating them for a tabletop game experience? Are you using them as settings for your creative writing? Are they a world for video game or film? Are they an activity to escape this world for a little bit?

my story

I’m not sure I qualify as actively world building, although I’m working on finding some time for it. My focus is to build a world in which I can run dungeons and dragons campaign(s). I’m not focused on defining new races, animals, or flora. I’m reusing what is already available in that world but focused on the social/political/geographical constructs. I’m creating land for them to live, towns/cities/villages to inhabit, religious and political orders to inevitably cement disagreements, and a history of such events to motivate current affairs.

I’m maintaining it in a self-hosted dokuwiki to enable high level of cross linking all this content together.
