Words of Radiance (book 2 of Stormlight) by Brandon Sanderson. Stormlight is my first dip into Branderson's work and I wish I had done so sooner.

Being for sports, I'm guessing a lot of the communities keep to their own teams and sports, but I've never seen any trolling or toxicity there (more activity in general would be very welcome actually). I'd recommend sharing some examples and why a complete cutoff is necessary rather than blocking a few users.

Wow, if I didn't own most of these I'd be all over this bundle. Death Stranding and Control in particular I really love.

I'm aware regular Beeper can be self-hosted, but Beeper Mini can too? Is there any more information on this or is that the "if you have the knowledge" part?

I take it you're not from the US 😅 texting is still the default here, and since apple refuses to open up iMessage and has not yet implemented RCS, Cross-Platform communication is pretty shitty. People get excluded from group chats because even a single user on a different platform will set it back to MMS

I've been binging Peep Show, just finished season 5! One of the funniest shows I've ever seen if you can handle some second-hand embarassment and a POV filming style.

As far as movies go, I watched Annihilation and loved it. Solid sci-fi with just the right amount of creepy. I'd recommend it if you enjoy films like Alien.

I also rewatched Megamind. This is one of those "kids movies" that has no right being as good as it is. The "I'm bad and that's good" bit from Wreck-it Ralph comes to mind, but I really enjoy Metro man's character as well.

A few personal favorites:

• MAKRO
• LinuxCon Worldwide 2021
• The Hustle

Looks like The Evil Within 2 will be free soon too!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that it still carries that over! My Home feed (not subscriptions) has plenty of videos from channels I'm not subscribed to

Highly recommend setting up Wirehole on a free tier cloud server. Here's a link with everything you need, including Docker install:

For future reference, it is possible to transfer your Xbox/game pass save to your steam copy. I have not done it personally, but I friends who have done it successfully https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847163077

The most stark example against this is the original MW2 - in addition to the anti-war quotes everyone loves to talk about every time you die, the main antagonist is literally a US Army General (admittedly he is distanced from the actual Army by the end, using a PMC instead).

The black ops games have some twist that often provoke the the thought of whether the ends justify the means. ::: In Cold War, the main character, Bell, is actually a captured Russian soldier that they have brainwashed to fight for the US as part of an experimental program. When this is revealed, you have the option to betray your "team" and lead them into a Russian trap :::

That being said, I haven't played all of the cod campaigns, especially some of the more "historical" entries. It's more fun to play this type of game when it makes you feel like what you're doing is justified. It's important to remember it's all fiction, but hey, it's not going to be for everyone. If you feel like the game you're playing goes against your morals, no shame in switching it off for something else.

As Reggie from Nintendo once said, "If it isn't fun, why bother."

This looks great! I just downloaded it and so far it seems to be what I was looking for. Thank you!

Fair enough - I hadn't even considered going old school, but that might be a good idea! Thanks for the comments

I started using Joplin recently and like it, but I'm not sure it quite fits what I'm looking for in this case

Does it encrypt at rest or only in transit? I haven't been able to find a clear answer (which makes me believe it's not)
