I've grown quite fond of the Mauser pistols, myself. Good fire rate and it reloads fast, which is critical in an intense gun fight.

Original youtube description:

📺 What You’re About to See: Randy was only 12 years old when he died in his sleep. What happened next would haunt him for decades—until God finally revealed the truth. His spirit left his body and entered a vast, dark valley carved into the earth. He felt no fear… but what he saw was unforgettable: prison cells, hollowed into the stone, waiting for something. He didn’t realize it then, but he was in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Is it real? Why was he shown it? And what does it mean for the rest of us? You’re about to find out…

I bought a used point and shoot recently so that I could be more mindful to not only take pictures more often but also to take better quality pictures.

I noticed that since everyone has a smartphone, people have been less likely to take photos and videos and people get annoyed when they are photographed/recorded. I think part of that is because those photos and videos get uploaded to social media where everyone can see/judge.

I wanted to try to take more photos of family events though since it was always fun to look through old photos of family members. I grew up in the 90s and 00s when it was really common to have photos taken at every event. Though I I haven't uploaded any of my photos yet, I've definitely taken more pictures than I ever had prior to having a camera. (I plan to buy a NAS hard drive during black Friday so I can store my photos privately.)

It sucks that good point and shoots are basically discontinued. I paid almost double the msrp for my camera and it was used and made in 2018. If you're able to find some good point and shoots for a good price, I would highly recommend you trying it out.

Instead of [...] a license that requires derivatives and other uses of the licensed material to retain the same license[,] Wikidata utilizes a license that has no requirements. This might sound ideal for “freedom,” but in reality, Wikidata seems to appropriate that particular FOSS imaginary of sharing while instead delicensing information into data by assigning it a CC0 license—allowing companies to extract, commodify, and otherwise use these data in ways to create systems without requirements to honor the license or reference the works that were utilized.

Building a Stirling Engine Bike

• Invidious
• Youtube

I'm not up to snuff on my USDA taxonomy, but here is an explanation of this horizon:

• Soils consist of three master horizons: A, B and C
• this soil is from the B horizon
• two nearly mutually exclusive pedogenic processes have occured to create this horizon:

1. Illuviation - the deposition of clays from the A horizon
2. Carbonate enrichment

Clays and carbonates both leach from the A horizon during pedogenesis, but carbonates move way faster and are long gone before the first clay particles arrive. Clays move much slower and don't go as far.

You can get carbonate enrichment from deeper in the profile though capillary rise, but it's almost always restricted to the C horizon. What you end up with is a very rich carbonate layer over top of the naturally calcareous layer of the soil.

In THIS case, evaporation is so strong it's brought these carbonates into the B (middle) horizon so you end up with a calcareous, clay enriched B horizon which really should not exist.

Soils are wild.

Coming under fire from the left for the glaring contradiction of providing military assistance to a state that is perpetrating an active genocide, AOC issued a statement claiming her vote was about protecting civilians. AOC’s statement is absolute crap. The Iron Dome is not used for defending, it’s used to facilitate constant attacks. In an article for Jewish Currents titled “Iron Dome Is Not a Defensive System,” Dylan Saba explains:

“‘In theory, a weapon like Iron Dome could be used only defensively. But in practice it doesn’t work that way,’ analyst Nathan Thrall told Jewish Currents. ‘Iron Dome facilitates greater Israeli offensive measures, because it lowers the perceived cost to Israel of escalating or extending or initiating attacks.’ In other words, while the Iron Dome may prevent the deaths of Israeli non-combatants, it has made it easier for Israel to engage in deadly operations that take Palestinian lives.”

The Iron Dome isn’t for protecting civilians, it’s for protecting the Israeli regime from deterrence. We see this in the comfort the regime displays in waging constant military violence on its neighbors knowing they can’t retaliate. That’s why Israel cut a ceasefire deal with Iran so fast.

Iran’s advanced missiles can’t be reliably stopped by the Iron Dome, so Iran was able to smash Israel and force it to cease its unprovoked aggressions. If Israel had had a missile defense system which could casually swat those missiles out of the sky at a high rate of success, Israel would still be bombing Iran today, and would continue doing so until Tehran looked like Gaza. Israel’s war-horny population would have supported this, because they’d have no skin in the game.

I shall try and sleep. I do hope everyone rests well, please.

I’ve been planning out a proxmox server for when I eventually have money. (Shut up. It can happen. Shut up!) but I saw something today that got me thinking. Minisforums makes some pretty nice shit at a reasonable price. The entire minis market has actually become pretty great while I wasn’t looking.

I need proxmox hosting opnsense, frigate, jellyfin, homeassistant, BitTorrent, immich, sunshine, steam, and i2pd.

So there are obvious advantages to building my own shit with a trip to microcenter. But maybe these micro machines could actually handle this shit anymore. Opinions?

Hey friends! Ex-Unity dev here. Today I've finally launched a game - it's not a good one, I made it in a few weekends, but it's my first launched game with Godot.

Play Blob Jump Multiplayer!

My Situation

• Unity is anti-developer, toxic, and slowly dying. I do not want to continue investing time into learning this game engine.
• I no longer work in the game industry, so making games will be weekend projects from here on
• To maximize fun and minimize friction, I want to make multiplayer, browser based games only. I have no interest in making singleplayer games or games that require a download

Initial Concerns with Godot

• Godot is not as optimized as Unity. I was worried about this, but then I didn't code my game like a monkey, and the profiler is great. This turned out to be a non-issue in any prototype I created.

Godot Frustrations

• The biggest frustration point I experienced with Godot has been errors that have no GDScript stack trace. It is very annoying to be told some Node can't access some Null feature or whatever and have no stack trace
• I've hit quirky edge cases with Godot physics. These are mostly remediated with Godot 4.5-dev, so I am running Godot compiled from source rather than a released edition.

Fresh Air

• Every issue I've run into with Godot has some open source issue tracking it. In Unity, you would see ignored threads for years. In Godot, the maintainers are actively responding, people are giving workarounds, and in some cases, community members are fixing the issues themselves!
• Godot loads fast. Unity projects can take >1 minute to load; I did not expect how much more productive it would make me to have a fast editor that doesn't break my focus
• Godot 4's multiplayer system is fantastic. The way it handles multiplayer.is_server(), is_multiplayer_authority, MultiplayerSpawners, MultiplayerSynchronizers and RPCs is at least 2x better than Unity as far as code simplicity, debuggability, and learning time

Multiplayer and Web Issues

• I originally wrote my game with ENet. Turns out that's not supported in the browser, and I had to switch it all to Websockets. Thankfully this was easy
• I bought my server of Hetzner (shoutout cheap EU cloud provider). To save money, I went with IPv6 only, which Github doesn't support, and Godot releases their binaries on Github. This was annoying, and after a few other IPv6 issues, I ended up buying an IPv4 address
• While originally prototyping to process inputs on the server, I chose to process inputs on the client in this game for a better UX. This actually resulted in a worse UX, since now the client needs to calculate player physics, which causes all sorts of issues if the client lags.
• The game wasn't connecting to the server when I ran it on itch.io - But there were no errors! I reasoned out that Itch.io uses HTTPS, so I configured to Nginx to handle SSL encryption and it started working.

Godot Dev Tips

• Watch Youtube guides. They are amazing
• Type your variables. It's borderline impossible to do complex things without strong typing.
• Spend 30 minutes learning the debugger. That thing is golden.

Next Steps

I enjoy writing games in Godot more than I enjoy playing Runescape (but I'm horribly addicted to Runescape so I can't stop). I've only scratched the surface, and hope to keep making more games. Thanks a ton to all the devs and the great community who make it what it is :)
