replying to all... The story you're thinking of is King Davids Spaceship by Jerry Pournelle. It IS a co-dominion story (so same universe as The Mote in Gods Eye w/Larry Niven) A few other uses of Orion in fiction that I am aware

Not a mapmaker but Foundry VTT is a onetime purchase of 50USD (and a pretty flexible license at that) that is free to players. You do have to self host (LAN is easy of course) or pay a hosting partner a monthly fee on top of the license cos

Yes! I had to compromise with the manor map as it should have had a round room. You can make them I think but it's very awkward. Running http://blog.trilemma.com/2018/09/the-sorcerers-feast.html this this

I can attest to the utility of Dungeon Alchemist... very fast. In an hour or so I had made a small inn/tavern my players will start at and a wilderness encounter map they will do after that, before getting into the manor I built the da

You can't run your code locally, but VSCode (but NOT VSCodium sadly) has a set of remote development plugins (ssh, containers, etc) that allow you to edit locally, run on a remote server. Also see code-server ( https://github

Nope, they predate the Heroku changes by a number of years. I did have occasional outages (lost db connection). They seems to usually resolve themselves. I ended up shutting down the (unused) app since it was under attack.

How so? My machine doesn't lock up at all, no random crashes or freezes. Things work. Now you are correct that there are things I don't use or care about that may or may not work out of the box perfectly out of the box but the

I remapped tmux to control-\ (which didn't conflict with anything in emacs that I cared about). It kind of sucks to hit that in a non-tmux shell or one without my config file though ;). Control-space is mark in emacs (even though I am

fwiw, I have a 12th Gen running Nix and I don't have any of these problems (well the brightness keys don't work but at least the sound/volume keys do - this is probably a DE issue). Sleep/resume work, but I haven't

Fly's free tier is smallish (3x256MB servers) and a bit of storage (3GB if memory serves) certainly enough for nginx for the headers. But does https://docs.netlify.com/routing/headers/ do what you need?

This is why I don't buy or recommend apple products anymore. I was never a fanboi, but rather had some nice experiences (about 10 years ago - eg I am just retiring my 2012 Retina MBP - and it still works, just a little slow these days

I went with a single monitor, a 34" curved ultrawide (3440x1440). Nearly triple (ish), more than dual monitor for sure and I love it. The price difference to go for the 38"(3840x1440?) was nearly triple the cost and was no worth

My first unix experience. I spent a weekend backing up my A4000 (at work) to to a writable cd (at $30 a pop no less) and installed NetBSD on it, played with it for a few hours and then restored AmigaOS (so I could work on Monday). Might h
