Thank you for the write-up!!

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

I don’t get NixOS

It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

Probably wondering why their date is taking a picture of the charcuterie board.

The emperor is back, somehow!.. again!

Damn I forget the name of the episode! New girl moves in next door and Bart’s smitten with her. This is the scene where Moe runs to the Simpson house to murder Jimbo.

My favorite bit in the episode is Homer going through the neighbors garbage & downing expired medication like it’s candy.

The marketing spin calling LLMs “Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t help.

Wait… so it’s just a hardware middle man for Do Not Disturb?

You can leave the key behind

Fun idea until I’m out and about & realize the one app I locked would be useful.

I wish somebody WOULD cut his head off…

The Telltale Head

Kaizo Mario! I’m trash at it, but I get tremendous satisfaction when I eventually nail the tricks.

“Fraud” is the correct term here.

Just a heads-up in case you’re unaware:

• wreak: to inflict, like “to wreak havoc”
• reek: to stink, like “these clothes reek”

… the aqueduct?

Ah, so that’s where the Venture Bros reference comes from.

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty

By the shores of big snake laaaake

Though your swings are rusty

We know they’ll never break

[LOUDER! FASTER!]

From your gleaming mess hall

To your hallowed baseball field

To your spic 'n span infirmary

Where all our wounds are healed.

Hail to thee, Kamp Krusty

Below Mt. Avalanche

We will always love Kamp Krustyyyyy…

Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they’ll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I’d think it wouldn’t be tough to get one up and running.

Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?
