My take on these articles continues to be ...

My biggest worry initially was the cost, but when you run the numbers against SaaS backup solutions, it'll pay for itself pretty quickly. Plus you can start small and expand.

I hope more people consider this option going forward, to safeguard their stuff and to spend less on recurring fees.

I just ordered a NAS yesterday for this very reason!

Yes, I can put my game files on it, but I can also get all my loose files out of various 3P services finally.

Never truly thought/worried about it until I got going on my own personal creative endeavor this summer and don't want it stolen!

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

When you try to prevent the “literally hitting rock bottom” metaphor memes ahead of time and end up even lower.

And why are they all called Something “The Hammer” Something?!

If you’re super lucky, the sun and volcano will collide and do something like this

Also no left turns in seemingly 90% of the city.

lol

Love Anchorhead, whose beans + roast are also great, so excellent take home gifts.

I’ll tack on a vote for Cafe Hagen here too. I like the coffee, and the pastries are fantastic (friends/family assure me since I can’t eat them)

Scariest idea I can think of is to make it out to yourself and have a friend send it to you at random after a minimum of ten years.

Also, some great references in this thread www.reddit.com/r/unrealengi...

That's where I found the link to the quoted playlist below, which I forgot to include, duh www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Screenshot snippet of a YoutTube playlist. The text reads: WTF Is? All Videos by Mathew Wadstein Tutorials Playlist - 666 videos - 213,752 views This is a collection of all the Videos in the WTF Is? series.

Went looking for #UE5 reference on "blueprints for programmers" type content and found my way to Mathew Wadstein's WTF videos.

Going to dive in based on the playlist count alone.

Is this that same re-declaration of $50B that we hear about every year? Just this time with a stupid Silicon Valley initialism for it? (I hate that I still see them after too long in the industry.)

You could give people options from the show—drank some weird potion, got cursed by a goat demon/god, read a book that told them to do it, made a deal with fox trickster—and they’d all be equally possible candidates within the universe of the show and also all not right.

Y’all, check out the update from Lili on this project! 😍

Watching this go from the initial blockout to here has been so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Tag yourself: The blackberry one where they are all “uh oh, busted!”

Only now noticing that autocorrect wrote “community’s” in for “communities” sigh 🤦

Done, and done. Hope you get to go spread more of your thoughts and ideas on community’s, building them, and keeping them safe! 🫶

Some wild tree shape that seems to have started in the shade of another tree and decided to conditionally out over the road. It crosses more that half the street. Looks vaguely Suessian.

A few trees in the distance. Focus is on two tree that have nearly identical cone shapes, but very different foliage and visibility through them.

A few really bright green trees. The brightness is it nuanced by the growth of yellow-green shoots at the tips of every piece of existing foliage. It looks like little tassels hanging from the tips of every branchlet of a conifer.

Nothing special here, but the diversity of colors, leaf shapes, and overall size and shapes of trees in one view here is pretty fun. On a short walk, I saw so much variety and color.

Me just shooting a zillion pics of tree shapes and colors on morning walk with the doggo.

Pictures are nothing special, but guess who has to model foliage for their game at some point, lol.
