I liked Gates of Zendocon as a kid. I wouldn't swear to you that it's good, but I got a kick out of it.
I was already pretty low in my estimation of LinkedIn, but this post gave me a little push to decide to close the account.
Most of the indicators you're talking about are, in my opinion, superficial markers of adulthood. Do you show up for the people you care about? Do you fulfill your commitments? Do you look for opportunities to grow and improve? Do you do the hard thing you need to do instead of the easy thing?
These are the traits that make you an adult, not how many kids you have or whether you own or rent housing. You can have 10 kids or none and still be an adult. You can own, rent, or live in your parents' basement and still be an adult. You can't be making promises you don't keep or always taking the easy way out and be an adult. Those other things are all vanity metrics.
I don't know what the reception was at the time, but people seem to hate Stuntman, at least in retrospect. I loved it though. It's a driving game in which you play the part of a movie stuntman, driving through a movie set as the director barks orders at you, telling you live how to drive the scene. It has a nice variety of movies, and the scenes are actually cool to drive and to watch.
It tickles a part of my brain that loves repeating a task until I perfect it... and boy, you get to do a lot of repetition.
The one thing I don't like is that you suffer a PS2 load time with each failed attempt. We're talking minutes between attempts. Loved it apart from that though.
Seconding Quartz, but I also wanted to share how I self-host all the services required. I self-host Forgejo and use obsidian-git to make it easier to push my vault changes to my self-hosted repo. The repo has a workflow that runs the Quartz build on any new commit, building to a location my web server points to.
It works pretty well. About 2 minutes after a change is pushed, the build with those changes is done and being served.
Thanks for the clarification. By "persist across restarts," I'm referring to the fact that if I just install the agent in my container, it won't persist if I restart the container, unless I install it on a volume which seems clunky. Running the agent alongside in a separate container with network access is the solution I was looking for.
On the Redis and Valkey restores, that makes sense. Disaster recovery is my use case anyway. Do you document the manual restore process for those? I didn't notice it in a brief review of the docs, but I may have overlooked it.
This looks exciting! A couple of questions:
- How would I deploy an agent into an existing docker container in a way that makes it persist across restarts? Most of my databases are running in containers.
- Regarding redis and valkey: what good does backup do without restore? Not trying to denigrate; I just really want to understand how that is useful.
Thanks for building this!
This has been my experience with Matrix, and the message decryption problems are a dealbreaker. I hope the person who replied to you saying those have very recently been fixed is correct, but the fact that such a fundamental feature was broken for so long leaves me with little confidence in Matrix. I had this problem years ago on a Matrix community, then again maybe a year ago on a different community, and even more recently on my self-hosted instance. Don't understand how you can push a chat platform that effectively doesn't deliver ~1/12 messages to random users and let that issue hang around for years.
XMPP looks really interesting as an alternative. Hope that development continued at a brisk pace.
Not many... but this community isn't for those people. It's for people who are already predisposed to self-hosting software.
Couldn't the same be said for just about any self-hosted app? You can watch video files with a local video player, so no need for Jellyfin; you can save passwords in KeePass, so no need for Vaultwarden; etc.
Seems to me like, if you'd like to have access to this app along with your data from any computer without having to overlay a separate data syncing solution and install a local app on each of those computers, that's justification enough. Or maybe I'm just not understanding your critique here...
Ah, true! Unfortunately for the anonymous LLM whose reputation is at stake, this was something like a platformer.
I found a review summary that said the background music in the game made it difficult to see enemies and that I should turn down the BGM track to fix it. 😆
