This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that theyโ€™re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Notes on coreutils in Rust ยท Alex Gaynor

Not to spoil the article, but Alex perfectly lays out the reasons of why Ubuntu switching from coreutils to the Rust-based reimplementation uutils is a great idea โ€” EVEN if coreutils were perfect and bug-free.

You thought I was joking? I'm not, come and work with me, for real.

If you like FastAPI and know a lot about Kubernetes, cloud, observability, all that stuff, send an email.

I think Alan Wake 2 fits that description perfectly, it's an experience.

You'd have to play Alan Wake 1 for context (its gameplay is slightly dated, but still worth it imho) and (optionally?) Control.

The FFVII Remake trilogy is very good, a great hybrid between turn based and action combat. Excellent graphics and story too.

Part 2, Rebirth, is even better in almost every aspect, and is one of the best games I've played in the past years.

The only downside is having to wait years for part 3 ๐Ÿ™ƒ

FFXVI is a bit more on the action side and less RPG-heavy than usual for the series. It has very high highs, but also very low lows. But the story is good and it's never overwhelming. You can always try the demo and see if it works for you.

I'd prefer (a), maybe through something like Authentik or similar solutions.

If you would self-host your web analytics stack, how would you prefer to access the frontend (and why):

a) On a public website
b) Locally in your browser (no public deployment)
c) Use a local Electron app

Thanks for any feedback!

Just curious, how far have you managed to get in FF14?

ARR is reaaaally slow. Once I finished Heavensward I was hooked, but I understand not everyone is willing to invest that kind of time into it ๐Ÿ˜…

welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.

New feature just dropped: custom feeds!

Now you can choose what algorithm powers your social media experience. Weโ€™ll feature some in this thread, but you can easily discover more in the feeds tab.

Rolling out to app stores now โ€” upgrade to Version 1.29 when itโ€™s available in your app store.

Ah, RTS games are a good use case, yeah. I'm curious about if something like DMC5 would work well too.

It's kinda funny how network bandwidth has gotten so good that it's better to use the whole network stack rather than a chip inside your own computer.

Are you playing action or turn-based games? I'm curious about the input latency.
