I write Linux guides, act and sing!

And do tech stuff.

And am weak.

And am a stereotypical nerd in almost every way.

B-but I don't play an instrument, so it TOTALLY doesn't count!

    The update video is 25 minutes long, and with good reason. They:

    • Added new location
    • Added new cargos and industries
    • Added new rail lines
    • Added a remote track switching system
    • Added gadgets to mount in your train
    • Added trains to find and restore in the new train museum

    I know Early Access can be a blight upon man sometimes, but this game is really making the best of it, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't have it already.

  • What do the +X feet markings indicate?

    I'm getting ready to run Icewind Dale, and noticed some of the maps have this marking in them, but none of them call attention to it or explain it. Does it indicate height, or something weird like "this ramp is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 30 feet" or "30 feet extra ramp here we didn't have space for, stretch it out when you run it"?

    Is my proxy setup safe?

    I'm currently working on setting up a proxy on my home computer to bypass my school's blockers, and want to see if I can make any improvements to security. To be clear, I haven't opened this to the internet yet, I'm asking BEFORE doing that.

    The setup is thus: I have a squid server running on my linux laptop, which will only allow authenticated users through. It's no longer listening to the default port (3128) and is instead listening to a port in the 10000-20000 range. I would have both my router and modem set to forward that same port, and my laptop's local IP address is static.

    This is a consumer internet connection, so Dynamic DNS, but I have a NOIP address ready to connect once I open the ports (already have the client installed and running, just throws an error on the website because it can't get through the port.)

    I'll be connecting to my proxy server through the FoxyProxy extension, rather than through the Windows 11 control panel on my school laptop, because I dont have access to that specific part of the control panel.

    That's the sum total of the setup I've got thus far. It only needs to be able to support my lone connection, I'm not sharing this around. Any improvements to be made?

    Why do I need to update my graphics drivers?

    I'll be playing a game, and then one day it won't work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn't receive an update, so why does it just break?

    Where does plaque come from?

    I know it's bacteria, but where is that bacteria coming from? Why doesn't brushing, flossing, mouth washing, or getting a deep clean at the dentist get rid of it entirely?

    VR RPG

    Game is Journey of the Gods, for anyone else looking!

    I only remember the first big fight; you had a crossbow and sword, and were fighting a tentacle thing made of black ooze on a farm. The game overall was about becoming a god, with the gods being birds and you collecting feathers to ascend.

    I originally played it on the Oculus Quest.

    Is there an uncensored version of Korea's King of Cloning?

    I really want to hear him cursing out all the idiots and fraudsters. Especially at the end of part two. Is there an uncensored version anywhere?
