This was a delightful video, absolutely enjoyed it.

The Witness is amongst my favorite games of all time. However my first impression of this game is that it feels pretty generic but I’ll wait for more info before I make a final judgment.

Just went back through the episode and they some artificial trees may have less environmental impact if used for at least 5 years. However, some other things to consider, first where do you think the plastics in the artificial tree come from? That’s right, PETROLEUM! Also, artificial trees will end up in a landfill once they reach their end of life while a real tree is 100% biodegradable. Lastly, most artificial trees come from oversees (mostly China) whereas getting a live tree is a great way of supporting local businesses. Of course now that you have an artificial tree you’re better off using that as long as possible to minimize the environmental impact.

A properly watered tree is actually not very flammable.

The ecological damage of a single artificial tree vastly outweighs that of cutting down many trees (don’t remember the exact numbers). - Source

This is true but this was also done at at time when all of these things were unprecedented. Valve was blazing a trail with Steam and digital distribution and there was nothing else even close.

If you have Docker hand you can use my project Directory Lister to do just this quick and easily (Docker docs).

All the Portal characters, really. Cave, GLaDOS, Wheatly, Chell…

I just switched to LibreWolf because I was getting tired of the AI bloat creeping into Firefox.

Now THAT’S some mental gymnastics!

Capitalism.

What does this even mean?

Yup, seems mostly like a fear of the unknown.

As posted in another thread already…

There’s nothing wrong with Secure Boot and enabling it can prevent a small subset of attack vectors with no real downsides. That being said, the things Secure Boot does protect against aren’t likely to be an issue for most users but it’s nothing to be afraid of.

If you enable Secure Boot you should also set a BIOS password for this very reason.

This looks like exactly what I’ve been searching for. Will try it out when I’m home.

I connect my primary and backup servers on 10G directly via a crossover cable for transferring ZFS snapshots. No actual 10G switches or anything at the moment but if I add any more servers I need to back up I’ll probably get a small 10G switch to put in between.

Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.
