Hey there! Arch-socks reporting for sock duty

I've just discovered that moldy cheese tastes like what dirt/soil smells like
  • Well, today I intentionally ate moldy cheese. It was gouda and the mold was a grayish green tone and not very fuzzy.

    Besides the taste I haven't had any negative effects so far. I melted it on a pan to at least "cook" it a little. But I could tell there were big chunks of mold due to the particular dirt flavour.

    It seems M$ really doesn't want people to keep using WIndows
  • That's why I just use a VM, I skip all the complications of having to fix bootloaders and broken installs. If anything goes wrong with windows I just delete the VM. Arch barely uses any RAM, so even back when I had only 8GB, windows ran incredibly well. I've updated to 16GB (because I needed the 64 bit version of excel and I wasn't being able to install it due to RAM requirements). Ever since then, I don't even look back to dual booting.

    Funny story, originally my laptop was dual booted, but I removed windows completely and formated the partition, and since it was at the beggining of the drive, and you cannot move blocks around so easily in storage (I needed another SSD or hard drive to copy them momentarily) I was left with a hole in my storage. What I did was, mount the directory with the VM image storage to the empty partition. So now it's kind of "dual booting" with some extra steps and with the added benefit of being able to use both OS' at the same time

    [TL;DR] If possible, just use a VM

  • Enshittification only hurts product itself.
  • Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It's got worse since then

  • Inching closer and closer (New Player)

    This is my latest attempt at reaching whatever's at the bottom. I've learned from my previous mistakes and I believe I've got a better character this time. I even brought two akhs, a blessed one and a regular one (both lost in this same level). I'm still running out of food and health potions very quickly in the last levels. The bosses are really taxing in terms of health potions, and exploring takes a lot of time, which means I'm using many food items. Here are my items and skills:

    New player here, this HURTS!!

    So, I've spent about 7 hours in this game and dying at this point was really painful, after killing the DM-300 and surviving the dwarven city (which was incredibly hard) I died at the hands of some monk. No food, no health potions, nada.

    I'm playing as a rogue assassin, I had got a level 8 evasion ring, which I was hoping would make it impossible for enemies to hit me. I also had level 2 plate armour with viscosity.

    Looking back this was definitely my fault, I think I was too careless in the dwarven city. I lost two ankhs in one level.

    Any advice?? This is the farthest down I've got.

    Don't mind me, I'm just empathy and solidarity posting

    Staying at a hospital with my friend who is suffering from leukemia, I've come to the realization of how fragile we are, yet it makes me feel hopeful about humanity. I've seen lots of people and heard lots of stories. The patient next door (we are in a secluded area) hit his head and is in a coma. His family members come to tend to him and speak to him every day. Listening faintly to them singing and speaking brings tenderness to my heart. Seeing my friend smile and feel better after playing videogames and conversing together is truly priceless. She's such a sweet person. Despite the adversities and injustices of life everything's been working out for her and she's recovering, she'll hopefully be out in less than a week.

    I think empathy and solidarity are some of the greatest things we have as a species. I wish more people could see that. Medicine as a whole is pretty cool, and it's just something I've never quite thought about, or at least it hadn't quite had an impact on me before because it's so commonplace. We dedicate a lot of effort and resources to helping people, and to say this is highly commendable would be a huge understatement.

    I don't really know where to post this, it's like 4:30 am and I'm feeling a bit sensible. My friend's lost two very important people in her life within last year, this isn't the first time she's had leukemia, and these few months have been incredibly hard for her. Despite this, she keeps on going, she keeps smiling and laughing, and I really admire her.

    I hope the patient next door recovers and gets to be with his loving family once more. I hope no one here has to go through anything similar, and if you are, I hope everything works out in the end.

    If you've read this far, I appreciate that you took some time of your day to read my 4 am ramblings. I hope I've been of some help. If anything I want people to feel united, for we may have different nationalities and languages, but we feel the same feelings, our hearts speak a collective language.

    Have a lovely life.

    Need help getting started

    Hello fellow lemmings! As mentioned in the title, I'm barely just getting started with the self hosting thing and such.

    I have a small personal project for which I'd like to self host my own "ugly-90's-HTML" blog (I just love the look and feel you know).

    I've got a desktop machine that I could use as a server, and I also just purchased my own domain from cloudflare (for commitment), but I'm a bit stuck on the actual "putting-my-stuff-online" thing and I don't want to do anything stupid.

    I know there's a lot of learning I still need to do, but that's the reason I'm starting this project. Any help would be welcomed.

    I have 3 cents of basic networking knowledge (I made my own Ethernet cable conection to my gateway :D); I'm using a linux distro as my main desktop; I have created an ssh tunnel with cloudflare so far, and I'm following a little html+css tutorial. The thing is, I've found so many different ways of putting things online, I'm a bit dizzy. I would like something that will teach me the fundamentals without holding my hand too much (a la "next, next, next, confirm, finish"), you know? I mean, I'm learning by essentially making a 90's website... So, yeah.

    Thanks in advance <3

    [TL;DR] Me want make 90's website, don't know how
