Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=170

s/Arch/Gentoo/ I did run Arch for a while around 2010 but it didn't take. It's nice to find a permanent home - I've been on Gentoo since 2013 and an acquaintance has been on Slackware since the 90s. Those three

Discord certainly works, but when I see a chat box lag on an i7 8700k with 32GB of memory I die a little inside. And that happens occasionally with Discord, without running make -j42.

There's also a fork with multiplayer support (to an extent): https://github.com/TES3MP/openmw-tes3mp OpenMW is great, played it a lot a couple of years ago. I love when games get future-proofed like this. See also

Lots (just some? most? I haven't really used it much) of FreeBSD system utilities are using libxo for output, so you can use e.g. ps --libxo json and get json output, or xml/html
