I usually listen to an audiobook or a podcast while I play Factorio or another story-light game, so as to offset that feeling.

Yes! I tried to play the new Spiderman game, and just the sheer amount of stuff to do was overwhelming. Especially because I like to do all the side missions. I know I sound like the oldest gamer here, but I miss the ratchet and clank style

I think we just probably have less time to play. In college I could blow an entire weekend on a subpar game and be fine with it, because I didn't really have competing priorities. Now, if I waste $60 and four hours on an abysmal game,

Already spent way too many hours in Space Age. About to start on Red Circuits and realized I need to completely reconfigure my main bus. On a more serious note, I'm really feeling like it's safer to buy dlc and updates for old gam

I'll never understand people who act like they're entitled to free, perpetually maintained software, and then are surprised when the software owners try to make money. I moved to Bitwarden years ago (as a paid subscriber) from Las

I have spent hours arguing with someone at my work that the issue we are experiencing at our remote locations is not due to bandwidth, but latency. These graphics are exactly what I've been looking for to help get my point across. Peop

I'm with you. The whole time I was reading the copy on the site, I kept thinking "What's wrong with a normal will and a lawyer?" Even crypto can be handled via a will if you're smart about it. I have a document that

Honestly hadn't considered that. It was bizarre here when the power last went out because it sounded like everyone was out mowing their lawns. Realized after a walk that it was all neighbors with gas generators. I have a small UPS for

Guilty as charged! American, unfortunately located in the southeast. To be clear, this wasn't intended as a comment against or argument against the UK's accomplishment. I am EXTREMELY glad to hear they're moving away from coa

We've had several power outages in our area recently, most of them JUST long enough that the food in our fridge was deemed unsafe and we had to toss some of it out. This sort of thing really makes me think about the large scale deploym

Genuinely thought this was an article about copilots in planes and was terrified that airlines were going to cut back to one pilot in the cockpit to save a little more money.

I had a conversation with the VP of my department once about this. He said that he is never going to try to advance beyond his role, and that he made that decision a long time ago. He decided what level he wanted to be at, fought to get the

I didn't know this, but apparently there isn't scientific criteria for what makes a moon a moon. They better be careful, though, or else we'll have another Pluto situation where we try to classify something and end up classif

I wonder if this could add clues to the handful of people who go missing on the trail.

I mean, sometimes it's edifying to just find out cool stuff about the world and the ways it feels a little magical. We have a local power company here that has a trailer with a set of power wires and a transformer on it, and at their e

I feel like this is cool, but is also a harbinger of how the Internet is becoming a bunch of bots trying to trick other bots away from the real content, which is how often being written by bots (at least in part).

I'll take "FAQ with Links", since that's basically what I'm going for. These are the questions/subjects people frequently ask me about, so I'm making a list of links. My plan is to continue to expand this,

Most of these are free to a point, not completely free. Which is fine, people gotta make a living. But I'm not gonna bother integrating the IPLookup API into my terminal alongside my pentest stuff if I can only check 100 IPs a month.
