It's been running great for me (3080), but I left everything on default. The only issue we've had is the game has crashed for one of our party about 4 times when going through doors. It's saved progress all but one of those crashes.

Overall, it feels like Remnant 1.5 - same generally loop and just a bit more polished. But that's great. It's exactly what I wanted.

Basically what dispensaries in Washington, DC do. Everything is a "donation" or an "art purchase" and the pot is a "gift". Total nonsense, but it mostly works, because DC intends to legalize recreational marijuana sales, and Congress isn't letting it happen. So it seems like enforcement is just lax.

Same with FreshRSS - I set it up years ago and basically forgot about maintaining it. It's been running doing exactly what I needed for the whole time. It might not be the best option, but I can't really think of anything more I need.

I'll have to check out moRSS.

Cool project. I appreciate these kind of passion projects.

Your about page mentions that open street map doesn't have a field for the message on the bench. So it sounds like you are keeping a secondary set of data, and this isn't being incorporated in OSM?

Have you tried to get that added in as a supported field? This feels like something that belongs in that dataset. I have no idea how hard it is to change OSM, though.

I've been using Kagi for over a year at this point, and have almost entirely stopped jumping to Google except for some of the dynamic results like currency conversion, weather, and units conversion. Everything search, Kagi seems to nail it, and I think I just have a nostalgia bias that makes me think Google would be better - but when I actually compare I realize I'm wrong. So much AI nonsense on Google results.

I've been using Kagi's summarizer a lot recently - if it gives me a Reddit result, I have Kagi summarize the result for me instead of giving Reddit the page view from me, and it works incredibly well.

My only negative with Kagi is the price, but they claim they are passing along actual costs and it's more expensive than you'd think to run a search engine. I'm not sure how much that improves with scale, but I doubt they can get very big at the price point they are currently at.

Thanks for sharing! I wouldn't have thought to use wood filler epoxy for this, but it makes perfect sense. I have a malm dresser that I think I'll try this approach on.

Wood repair epoxy putty is really useful stuff - I've used it to fix door jambs to repair a broken jamb and when changing out hardware, and with a little cleanup and paint you can't tell it's not wood.

I'm a long-time loyal Sportrock member, and... this is bittersweet news. EarthTreks has always been "the other gym", and I'd love to keep supporting Sportrock.

But this would cut my drive down from 30+ minutes to 5 minutes. If this goes through and opens, I'll pretty much be forced to switch.

I've had a lot of success using Merlin Bird ID (by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology) to figure out what birds I'm hearing around my house. It listens and detects likely birds based on the songs, and then provides a lot of additional information about the bird and sample songs. It also has other features for helping identify birds visually.

It's been very informative for understanding that many of the distinct sounds I'm hearing regularly actually come from the same bird. I didn't realize how much variation a single bird could have until I started using this app.

As for learning the calls, that's going to come down to standard learning techniques. Merlin Bird ID doesn't have any flashcard style learning built in.
