The first game was good. This one is not. I don’t understand how a big game like this could have you just walking around doing nearly nothing for several hours straight. Every puzzle and lock solution is basically on a sticky note next to i

We use ZFS on every server we deploy We typically use Proxmox. It’s a convenient node host setup and usually has a very up to date zfs and it’s stable I just wouldn’t use the Proxmox web ui for zfs configuration. It doesn’t have up to date

I disagree. The market ready for disruption was the CPU market stagnated by Intel. It was also the perfect opportunity to put the limited financial resources behind to come out with a viable product to compete that didn't need a ton of

While I'm happy enough with using Standard Notes for free, $15/mo for the first paid version is way too much for the extra features. I get that it adds a simple spreadsheet function and 2FA stuff, but some of that is not what I wa

I don’t have an issue with using the Weather app over darksky on my iPhone. My issue is that the darksky website was a pinned tab on my browser cause there’s no alternative weather website like it.

I had a theory about this about 5 years ago as I started noticing that there was a correlation with my friends who had autism. I got a lot of heat for it though when I mentioned it, even as someone who is lgbt myself.
