Cults are difficult to handle because the members of a cult are both victims of violence and perpetrators of violence.
The sad hard truth is that we need to see people trapped in far right ideology as potential allies. We need to understand the faulty reasoning and lies that led them down that path and find a way to welcome them back into a world of acceptance and empathy. Personal attacks may feel good but it only entrenches them further.
Ridicule the ideology. Point out the logical fallacies, inconsistencies and lies... Don't let them have a platform to spread hate without opposition or counterarguments. But also understand the people spreading the hate are hurting inside and if they switch sides they can be the best allies to help counter-program others.
Windows can still be made into a tolerable usable OS, but it basically requires a minimum of 20 years of knowledge about where the legacy control panels, settings, and secret reg keys are hidden. Every new version obfuscates them even more and yet they are no closer to feature parity with the 'modern' control panels that barely work at all.
Any chance you'd be willing to share playbooks or point me toward any resources you used?
I use Ansible to manage config across all my workstations/servers but I haven't gotten around to automating log shipping yet or aggregating system metrics.
The five node limit is a dealbreaker for me too. I'm also annoyed the free version doesn't have any real built in options to secure data by default. I followed a TechnoTim tutorial to get the NetData/Prometheus/Grafana stuff setup but it was too limited and required too much manual effort.
I originally used corndog.uk because *.uk domains are extremely cheap and I thought it combined a stereotypically American thing with a UK domain which struck me as funny. Then I decided to use the social TLD and now I'm locked into paying $23 a year just for the name.
I run my own instance and I just never post anything anywhere. I just shitpost comments in everybody else's business. Thanks for all the memes internet people.
I add a little corn starch to help the base thicken and hold together a little bit so it doesn't collapse as much. I also use a smaller glass pan and make two of them (I usually freeze one for my future lazy self).
Microsoft and application developers treat the Documents folder like a total dumping ground for whatever random nonsense they can dream up. No wonder people look elsewhere. Need to store user files? Documents. A database? Documents. Giant cache files? Documents. Config? Documents. Executables? Fuck it put those in Documents too.
Why would I ever store my real documents in a folder so littered with shit that I can never find anything? It's not like the search actually works.
Also as a Linux user myself and to head off any smugness, developers do the same thing with the home directory so users end up inventing weird ways to stay organized.
No one here is mentioning that Crysis released right when single core processors were maxing out their clock speed while dual and quad core processors were basically brand new. It wasn't obvious to software developers that we wouldn't have 12GHz processors in a couple years because the entire industry would just keep adding more and more cores rather than sizing up each core.
So a big bottleneck for Crysis was that it would max out single core performance on every PC for years because single core clock speed didn't improve very much after that point.
I've found it best to stay 3-4 Assassin's Creed's behind, pick them up for $5 on a Steam Sale. I explore the world, do the story and just completely ignore the low-effort side quest spam. Then they tend to be a pretty okay experience still.
I've found artillery to be a very effective defense on Gleba. I made a really big train loop that circles my entire base (a ways out from my spore cloud). Then every so often I have an 'artillery station' that is protected by very densely packed Tesla and laser turrets.
The train slowly makes its way around the perimeter firing at anything in range. Anything that survives runs over to the station to retaliate and is shredded by the turrets pretty quickly.
