overview for rbos

I don't know about elsewhere but the local Salish peoples would shear specially bred dogs with very light fur. Something like Samoyed fur, but more fine. They're probably extinct now.

I wonder if the ecology is out of balance, leading to larger mosquito populations than people would have seen a few thousand years ago. If the bird and bat population were five times, ten times larger, or if the swamps were less foul from plants adapted to the area (instead of invasives), maybe that would have made the problem less severe.

That's a lot worse than I thought it would be. Yikes. That's a good reason to wear a few extra layers. And maybe some netting. And maybe acquire a flamethrower.

Thank goodness for distro repositories with somewhat-vetted software.

Scrapyard Engineers is a lot of fun (steamcommunity.com)

Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.

The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.

In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.

Post-war Dutch music (self.thenetherlands)

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.

hand-drawn Valheim map (lemmy.ca)

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.

Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.

So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.

One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.

Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?
