I usually end up using podbay.fm for finding rss feeds for shows which don't list them on their web pages (or anywhere else). https://podbay.fm/p/software-unscripted

I've been using FreshTomato, which I got pre-installed from a seller on ebay, but IIRC DD-WRT has better support for some Broadcom chips because they allow binary blobs which have better hardware support.

Yes, there were so many little details like looking for pigeons leaving to see if there is a spy in your town.

I feel his strength was being an endless fountain of interesting ideas combined with ability to inspire lots of hard work from his development team. I forget if it was Dungeon Keeper or Black and White where they talked to the development t

The early EA games on the Amiga really had some magic about them, down to the box designs and the tone of their ads. It really felt like a whole new era with new possibilities was on the horizon.

I also remember a green pc set up which used one of the low power x86 clones (Via?) in the 90s which used the bios battery double as a mini ups similar to that.

Indeed. I'm not sure why WSL has consistently required some bleeding edge version of Windows to run. I remember trying to get on a managed desktop at work a couple of years ago and apparently the LTS version of Windows used in the ente

PWS Weather looks good, but I don't see if you can query it, specifically from Home Assistant. I've been looking for a decent replacement since Apple bought DarkSky.

War for the Overworld https://wftogame.com/ is basically DK3, down to having the original narrator from DK1/2. I'm a big fan and played WFTO quite a bit at to the point it's hard to go back to DK2. Sadly thei

I think implicit in this myopia is they don't eat their own dogfood. If they have their best people managing their core products running their own infrastructure which is clearly much more reliable than GCP, then GCP won't get bet
