Also Mac here. I started with a linux laptop but still have to do some desktop support work for the company and since they all use Mac it’s just easier to dogfood it. At least I have a decent terminal emulator.
Right there with you, took me one false start where I was taking so long to figure things out again that the biters took over. Second start is going swimmingly and I’m starting to feel that wonderful obsession with growing my factory. Such a great game, I’m so happy about the expansion!
Totally deserved, such a great game.
I’m in this camp, I want the opportunity to build all the things and if I play with a bunch of people I’ll just blueprint all their stuff cause it’s always better 🥲
I think one interesting facet of the AI art thing is that the bar for “genuine meaningful content” really drops. I think lots of people are/were too intimidated to post their personal creations on the Internet because until now that type of content was dominated by the skilled artists out there. But now, since anyone can go make a half decent AI art thing, suddenly any actual human generated content gains way more meaning, regardless of skill
it looks good! nice work
That’s fantastic
You are incredible, thank you so much for sharing!
Such a neat piece of software, I remember streaming internet radio (somafm) and trying out different skins on my windows xp laptop back in the early 2000’s and just feeling like the cyberpunk future had arrived. Milkdrop was my gateway drug. Fun seeing it make a comeback, I hope it develops a healthy community and we get some good software out of it. Internet drama be damned.
Seriously, some solid snack game there, they fucking missed out
Neat! Thanks for sharing!
This is an underrated comment here
I’m reading this again and had another thought. On an average Debian server reboot-required is really only ever triggered by kernel upgrades and those happen more often than you want but also not very often. They are also usually worth installing for either security or performance improvements.
It’s usually ok to just set a convenient time for unattended-upgrades to run, let it watch for reboot-required and then reboot automatically. If your services can’t handle starting at boot or turning off gracefully then you will have other problems anyway.
On the other hand, if even a few minutes of downtime every couple of months at a scheduled time is too much, just disable AUTO-REBOOT in the config file and do it by hand whenever it works for you. It’s all good. Do what works best for you, that’s the best part of Linux.
needs-restart is another great package that will check if package updates should restart any services to take effect and restart them if so. Goes nicely with unattended-upgrades
There’s a package that handles most people’s needs called unattended-upgrades. Has some options and some logic to do things like this. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Been using it on hundreds of servers for 5+ years.
Oh yeah, this is what I do.
I’ve been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It’s a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.
I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc…
Also drive Manjaro and I tell people I use Arch, there are dozens of us
great project getting better all the time!
