I have fond memories of playing these, but dear god was Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy frustrating! There was another Infocom game, Trinity I think it was, where you needed to get some water or something like that, but you couldn’t put it in an empty boot, you had to have the bucket for it to work. Kind of like playing “guess the mind of the programmer.” Fun times, even so. And then there was Leather Goddesses of Phobos . . . 😊.

That’s what I thought, but thanks for your response. Is the Fediverse/ActivityPub going to address this at some point? Maybe there should be a flowchart of some kind that shows which Fediverse platforms can interact with others (and how).

For anyone who is understandably concerned about nuclear energy, I would suggest that they watch this first before making up their minds (it’s from Nova on PBS which I consider to be a generally reliable source).

Ok, excellent! That’s what I’m looking to do, thanks!

EDIT: Also, I can confirm that this works. Again, thank you.

Back now, maybe?

👍

Um , , , sorry, what’s a diff tool?

@[email protected], thanks very much for taking the time to pass all this on. Thanks also to @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], & @[email protected]. It’ll take a little time for me to wrap my poor fading brain around all this, so I may have more to add in a bit, but again, thank you!

Ok, I see: yes, I am set up to do weekly snapshots with Timeshift, and the syncing is for data files. As for corrupted files, I’m not so sure about that; I don’t believe I’ve ever had a problem with this, but . . . 🤔

Hi Helix, it’s a QNAP TS-251A, not sure what the software version is (or what it is, QTS?); where would I find that? I remember trying to install Nextcloud on it at one point and almost had to have myself committed after repeated failures (I’m not really that tech savvy 🙁, but I try . . . ). Can you point me to some instructions on how to install Docker on QNAP? I’m not sure what you mean when you say that sync is not a backup, although I may be using the term incorrectly. How do you define a backup? Thanks for your response.

I like and use Relay as well. Probably a very naive thought, but couldn’t Mozilla just ask for donations the way Wikipedia does?

Yes, additional thanks! Almost gave them a try.

Nitter was killed?! Dammit.

Notice too that there’s always plenty of money for war as well as massive tax breaks for the scum who are allowed to legally bribe politicians.

👍

Got a link?

Unfortunately, I can’t use custom themes with that plan while I believe you can with Midnight. Upgrading on Ghost.org is $25/$31 per month wheras at Midnight I think it’s $16 or so.

@Mnglw and @jarfil , do either of you know how to implement the “removeparam” thingamabobber? I’m just about at the limits of what my poor brain can handle here . . . 🤯

Here’s a list of sources whose reliability has been rated by Wikipedia. I personally think they’re being kind of hard on AllMusic, which I’ve found to be reliable, though not necessaily as exhaustive as it could be.

This article is of great concern to me as someone who has edited and created a number of Wikipedia articles. However, since a lot of outrage gets garbled along the way, I’d like to see more about this, maybe if I can find the correct Talk page about one of the articles in question…
