I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

I’m not sure that this is a “game” idea so much, but I’ve had this idea I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the implementation of.

Think a digital audio workstation such as Ableton Live or Logic, but gamified. Complete various musical objectives to pass levels, have a creative mode for just making music and maybe even a multiplayer mode for collaborative or competitive music making.

I tend to go back and forth between Go and Python. Typically for work stuff I am writing AWS automation utilities though so I’ll opt for Python because Boto3 is lovely. Go is typically for my personal projects.

I’ve also been itching to try my hand at Rust, but haven’t brought myself to start yet.

My SO just had something similar pop up yesterday. She was running into weird errors on her Chromebook, so I had her change her user agent to Chrome on Windows. Everything magically worked. Hmm…

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

Is it just me or do crabs always look so dainty when they eat?

Ah, neat! Yeah that would work then. I’d hope that your usernames are unique in your self-hosted setup, so that should work just fine. Very nice!

Hmm…this should work but I do have a concern on it based on my experience with AWS. Maybe this is different with minio though.

In AWS, S3 bucket names are globally unique. Not just to your AWS account, but across ALL S3 buckets period. So let’s say you have a username of “test” and use that policy. If that user attempts to create a bucket and that bucket name is taken, well that user is out of luck.

Obviously if minio doesn’t require globally unique bucket names you’re probably fine, but otherwise this could realistically become a problem.

I mean, I could have just offered myself up to be corrupted by these “immoral” instruments. If they didn’t want the instruments around, they could have let me take them.

I think the biggest place it has genuine benefit would be for something like deeds to homes, titles for cars and stuff like that. A permanent, auditable and public system for tracking the transfer and ownership of things.

Unfortunately it comes with its own caveats, such as “what if I lose the wallet containing the deed to my home, and I want to sell it?”

I never really understood the whole thing about picture based NFTs though.

I have to wonder what is going through their heads to think this would be in any way helpful to their cause. It’s literally saying “hey I’m screwing you out of money in the name of Trump.”

That’s definitely going to win over prospective voters.

Yep, this is key. If you’re getting a bunch of malicious traffic from one source, that’s easily fixed. Just drop the traffic.

But when that traffic is coming from hundreds or thousands of sources, that becomes much harder to address. Can you just drop traffic from those sources? Sure! But then you also risk dropping legitimate traffic.

There are also services that can automate the detection and prevention of DDOS attacks such as CloudFlare and Akamai, but these can get expensive very quickly, so it can significantly increase the cost to running the instance in question.

I’m not as familiar with Itch but it works the same as GOG in that you can download the installer and keep it, no special activations or DRM required. Right? Because I definitely love that aspect of GOG. I just wish it had a larger library.

Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛

I had to read that again as I thought it was someone telling that to Oracle, which would make WAY more sense.

So I’ve heard they’ve been making some controversial decisions as of late but I’m out of the loop. What happened?

It’s so dumb but I love it. I’m going to need to borrow that line.

Ah, that’s a good point. I was thinking specifically within Lemmy apps, and not so much across the board.

The only thing that would make this better would be to include the Roomba as part of a fatality.
