I guess it’s not so much RTS. It’s like making hard decisions. It’s a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you’ve played that game. There’s an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.
It’s very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There’s no combat in it at all, it’s just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.
Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.
Well it seems like Wikipedia’s list of countries is pretty sparse. They only have USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, EU, and Brazil.
It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.
It’s extremely confusing but there are basically 2 measurements systems for food energy:
There’s kilocalories (abbreviated as cal) and there’s kilojoules (abbreviated as kJ). It can get very confusing because some places will label them calories (cal) and Calories (kJ), lower and upper case respectively which is extremely confusing because 1 kJ is equivalent to 4.81 cal.
According to Wikipedia the US and Canada use kilocalories (cal or calories) and pretty much the rest of the world uses kilojoules (kJ or Calories).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy#Nutrition_labels
The main difference between the two is that kilocalories are a measure of heat energy, where 1 kilocalorie is the heat needed to warm 1 liter of water by 1 degree celcius. Whereas a kilojoule is a measure of energy usually described by force in newtons.
They’re both actually from the metric system, but kilocalorie is the old and obsolete form while kilojoules is the currently accepted metric measurement.
And yet F:NV has the best writing of those 3 examples.
Reminds me of this George Carlin bit:
Have you ever noticed when you’re driving that anyone who’s driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC!
Writers of children’s names books are going to have a field day with the data from this study.
RIP Chester. He had a shitty life, but he made ours a little better while he was here.
Mispronounced words by British people are unacceptable though. The Brits need to be stopped!
This tip is super useful to me because not everyone is using a PC. On a PC sure, I would use the Home and End keys all the time. Now I’m using a laptop as my main computer and the Home and End keys are in a weird position that even to this day, 4ish years of laptop use, I still have to actually look at the keys to find them.
My favorite tips are:
You can filter the output of a command. Most commands return parameters like (output, error) so you can filter them by number like 1>/dev/null will filter the output and only show the errors, and 2>/dev/null will filter the errors and only show the output. Also if you want a command to run silently but it doesn’t have it’s own built-in quiet mode you can add &>/dev/null which will filter everything.
Bash (and other shell’s I assume) can be fully customized. In addition to the .bashrc file in your home directory, there are also a few common files that bash will look for like .bash_aliases, .bash_commands, .bash_profile or you can create your own and just add to the end of the .bashrc file ./YOUR_CUSTOM_BASH_FILE_NAME
Inside that file you can add any custom commands you want to run for every bash shell like aliases and what not.
I personally often use a simple update command like so alias up='sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y' which just makes running updates, upgrades, and clean-up so much easier. Just type up and enter your password. I have previously added in things like &>/dev/null to quiet the commands and echo Fetching updates... to make some commands quieter but still give some simple feedback.
There’s also the basics of moving around a terminal command as others have pointed out. The easiest and the one I use the most is if you hold CTRL+LEFT_ARROW the cursor will move entire words instead of one character at a time. Very helpful if you need to change something in the middle of a command.
I’m not sure if I’ve seen that one, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
Is it this one? http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/alpaca-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
Or maybe you were referring to the Llamas In Hats series? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBE8C175E9FAAA34A
I was always partial to the Amazing Horse one for some reason. http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/amazing-horse-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
I used to listen to it for hours and a weird quirk of Flash animations was that often the audio track and the video were milliseconds off so over time it would get very out of sync.
YouTube?! Surely you mean Flash! This came from the creator Weebl who had a ton of great Flash animations on his website. Actually I can’t believe it, but the website is still up in 2024!
Here’s the badgers one specifically: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers-animated-music-video-mrweebl/
I don’t get it, but I assume there’s some obscure historical or philosophical joke going on here. Can someone explain?
Or maybe it’s “read” as in “read his book” and the drag term “read him for filth” lol I hope it’s that one
Cool animation! 10/10 style points!
For those unaware, Adobe changed their terms of service recently to say that if you agree to the terms then they officially own anything you create using their software and can use it however they want. Specifically this line:
you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free sublicensable, license, to use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, and translate the Content.
This probably means that Adobe has built some kind of backdoor into their programs to access your files and send it off to their servers. Pretty shitty of them!
One place I worked at recently was still using Node version 8. Running npm install would give me a mini heart attack… Like 400+ critical vulnerabilities, it was several thousand vulnerabilities all around.
Every other planet looks like shit. Another W for Earth, the best planet in the universe! (as far as we know)
Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.
