I don’t remember if it did when I used it. Our convention was to -2 your own change until it was ready to go 😅

Yeah, pretty interesting. I’m excited for this application of AI… it will help a lot!

I saw this post in my mind’s eye. It was only a matter of time

I think an independent thruster controls mod would be great. Space drifting in elite with 6 degrees of freedom was so much fun.

Most low level enemies drop weapons that only deal between 3 - 11 damage, which are basically useless against anything higher than level 5. I found some higher level weapons in a shop that dealt 30 - 40 damage and found they made combat much more fun.

As I progressed however, I noticed that enemy levels in a location were distributed:

• 4-5 low level
• 10-15 med level
• 1-5 high level

So there is still a problem with bullet sponges. I keep an overpowered shotgun (med damage, high rate of fire, explosions on crit) with me and just bum rush the high level enemies with that. Otherwise you’d be shooting them all day with your 40 damage rifle.

As you go on, those high level enemies drop weapons that do more damage, so there is progression…. But you also just encounter higher level enemies with more health so the problem continues.

I see that there are already combat rebalance mods on nexus, the kind I’ve used on Fallout games in the past, and I’ll probably install one of those when I decide to start a new play through. (Which, I definitely will. I’m enjoying the game a lot overall despite there being some tedious aspects)

It’s true. You can already see some smoke in this picture. About an hour later it started to become much worse.

There are fires in Oregon to the south, and fires in Canada to the north. Someone said we were likely seeing smoke from the South today, but maybe a bit of both, and since winds died down it just settled in the valley. It’s obscured views through the afternoon and into the night. Hopefully clears up by morning

Correct! This was actually not the summit, but a few bluffs west of there. Anyone who wants to get here should take the mirror lake trail and follow signs for Tom, Dick, and Harry.

At this particular spot was a rounded out rock which made for the comfiest natural seating I’ve come across yet! 😁

If you want you can install starship, which provides a lot of the nifty prompt customization I see in other people’s zsh configs. I’ve been using it with bash for a few months now and like it a lot.

I’ll figure out something, I always do, I just thought it would be nice to see what route others have taken with their own servers.

Yeah for sure. Sorry I don’t have a good answer

turned their email over to Microsoft and we’ve had nothing but non-stop spam, phishing attacks, outages, and the constant push of "oh if you’re not going to use a Microsoft product.

Just wanna share that my experience does not mirror this. I pay them $6/ user per month (which is just me, for me personally, to be fair), which gets me that hosted exchange server 365 thing. I only rarely, if ever, need to use the other office products, and I do so in my browser. In the 2ish years so far I’ve had no complaints. I don’t require any of the features that are locked behind full-installation variants of their products - and besides that I’ve had no problem with spam email especially.

Im not sure I would recommend that you tell your friends to authenticate with your own Active directory instance necessarily, but ultimately at the end of the day if you’re dealing with users you’ll need some kind of authentication layer (imo)

Oof yeah. You’re well into admin territory here.

I mean I’m just some layman on the internet, but I would look at tying in some authentication layer to get your 2FA, although it would inconvenience your users users.

Do your users use this service for srs business?

I don’t know if I have anything else to add to this discussion. It’s gotten more complex than what “just an email server” can provide imo

I would say white-list instead of black-list if possible.

Beside the point, have you considered the reasons why you might not want to run your own email server in todays age? It’s a fun experience for sure, but if you want it for serious use it’s not for the faint of heart (unfortunately).

Edit: also lol to your friend unknowingly conducting a spam campaign from your server

Yeah. It always shocks me at how cheaply these people offer this information. Even going back to the Cold War, Aldrich Ames was selling info that directly led to peoples’ deaths for just 10s of thousands of dollars. Nowadays people are selling details of billion dollar ships for less than the price of a new car.

Security is hard

I’m flying into Tokyo on a Thursday. Going to stay a night, then take the train to Osaka for the weekend til Tuesday. Then heading west to Hiroshima for a bit, back to Osaka for the next weekend. Spend a night in Kyoto, then back to Tokyo until I fly out.

That’s the loose itinerary at least, I really have no idea what I’m going to do while I’m there 😅. Lots of walking around town and maybe some nature excursions if anything calls out to me.

I was going to go with a friend, but life got in the way and they had to bail. So I’ll be flying solo - it’s a bit daunting but I figure the one bag strategy might work well. Less stuff == less to keep track of and worry about.

(Although I am packing a day bag in my one bag 😁)

Great timing! In September I’ll be traveling to Japan for two weeks - and I’m gonna try to one-bag it!

Not really though? Apple makes good hardware and operating systems, and generally have a good privacy-forward stance when it comes to software (in my opinion).

Unfortunately it’s not as cut and dry as “use Gentoo” - if my ad revenue is potentially worth x, lemme just pay x for the service. I know I’m not alone in this sense.

Oh yeah. When you put it that way, it’s totally understandable.

But now I’ve betrayed the fact that I’m willing to pay a lot for community driven content :D

Still switching around as soon as I’m back at my PC though

I’ve heard about it but didn’t realize someone like google would blatantly do this. SMH

On PC, I’ve never watched ads. Only bought premium after getting an iPhone 2 years ago.

Appreciate being able to support creators while not watching ads ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ , lot of good that did me.

Wait, what the FUCK!?!

This price increase is live for new subscribers as seen on youtube.com/premium. Instead of $11.99, YouTube Premium now costs $13.99/month. Meanwhile, it’s $18.99 if you’re subscribing from the iOS YouTube app.

I’ve been paying $4/month over market rate this whole time?

That is dog

But who was phone?

Not really sure if this answers your question (I agree with you, ultimately), but here’s my experience:

At the college I attended, these sigma/pi expressions weren’t taught until the end of Calculus 2, but I wanted to take an Algorithms class - which had calc 2 as a prerequisite.

I got an exception from my advisor which allowed me to take Algorithms before the pre-req. In my experience, these concepts were easily learned in the context of algorithmic complexity.

Some might be barred from learning important theory in computer science by “brutal” math classes at university. They might find solace in this post which translates sigma into ‘for’
