   Thank you for the context. I was an Affinity Suite user for a long time after I dropped Adobe. I now use a mixture of GIMP, Krita, and Inkscape for visual things. I don't have a good alternative for InDesign - even Affinity Publisher w

   What the actual #*!@... Well, anybody have any modern simulation models for fallout distribution after a nuclear war between the USA and Russia?

   Just because a period of history is short doesn't make it _not history_. Studying history is not just, or even often, a way to rediscover old ways of doing things. Learning about the people, places, decisions, discussions, and other re

   My last attempt was Debian-flavored Mint. This go around, I'm thinking of trying Kubuntu. Specifically 25.10 Kubuntu, since apparently Wayland fixes a lot of the problems I had trying to game on Linux before.

   Several people now have recommended Nextcloud as hosted by Hetzner. I will have to look into this.

   With this hitting multiple communications media for me independently over the last few hours, it has me considering whether I can switch from Windows to Linux for my gaming PC again. Last time I tried, I used Ubuntu, and I experienced probl

   Besides a master's degree and an internship at a nutrition AI app startup, I'm taking another pass at procedural dungeon generation for my world-building website.

   More than an invisibility cloak, I'd like to be able to "paint" my house with a programmable material that could change color/pattern.

    I'm afraid I only play a small number of titles, and none of them are particularly stable on Linux. I'm not going to change the type of gamer I am just for an OS.

    I have tried to use Linux for my gaming PC, but I always run into issues. The Finals refused to run, for example. So, I gave up and just use Windows for gaming. Sigh.

    I no longer use a VPS and just have my static site hosted on a free provider.

    A month or so ago, I migrated all of my Gemini posts to my blog and shut down my Gemini server. For me there wasn't really a point to the effort. I'm glad the protocol exists and that people are enjoying it, but I'll stick to

    I switched from Hugo to Zola for a reason similar to the author's. I've been using Zola now for years, and I'm really happy with it. Good features, and nice and stable.

    I'm a member of omg.lol, and thus able to curate links for this directory. I'll take requests, but I don't guarantee I'll add just anything.

    There is a restaurant (or, perhaps, food purveyor is more accurate) in Japan that has lasted for several centuries. It's been owned by one family, I believe. When Covid hit and their clientele disappeared, they just continued to pay th

    I would adore a new car that has no digital displays or touch screens. I have a feeling I will need to settle for finding and restoring a car from before 1990.

    As a result of your comment, I went looking into advice for beginning runners. This led me to understand heart rate zones and other related concepts. I've now dialed my efforts way back, since apparently I was pushing way too hard and

    I started "running" a mile a week ago. I use quotes because I walk the first couple blocks to warm up and walk the last several blocks to cool down, and the entire route is just over a mile. On day 1, I jogged for a couple blocks

    Once upon a time, I considered writing a MUD engine of my own, but I got distracted and forgot about it. I wonder what it would be like to write one from scratch in 2025. Maybe I have a new project.

    This should not be considered an endorsement of technology so much as an indictment of the failure of extant social systems. The role where humans with broad life experience and even temperaments guide those with narrower, shallower experie

    If I was a GM encountering this from players, I would absolutely allow it, and then the players would discover the consequences. For one thing, most of the peasants would die. The few remaining would be so horrified that they'd probabl
