I was wondering the same.

I just read the specs and there is an SD slot.

DE:MD was great, I really hoped for them to finish the story. With all the horse-trading of the companies and IP, who knows if we'll ever see one.

I had no idea. I'm still on 7.0.x, I didn't even realize they were sold. It only has permissions for media and files.

My OnePlus 6t swelled and split in a year. OnePlus said it was unrepairable (it still worked) and offered me $50 toward an upgrade.

Replaced it with a Pixel.

First was a Novation CAT 110/300 baud with acoustic coupler. Later I got a Practical Peripherals 1200, then a Zoom Telephonics 2400/9600. Then I bought a US Robotics Courier HST, it cost a ridiculous amount at the time. A few years later was working and I mailed it and an actual check to USR and they swapped it for a Courier vEverything (with the 20Mhz DSP). I still have that modem and a newer vEverything I salvaged.

OK

I don't back up anything I can rebuild. I have multiple half-assed methods in use together for the rest of it:

  • Backups daily of homedirs on desktops and laptops using Borg and Vorta to external usb drives. These devices get rotated out annually. I used to run 2-disk RAID1 and when I rotated the disks out, split them and sent them to family but now I'm taking my chances on having them local and putting them in a fireproof box.
  • Code repos are synced to github or srht.
  • Monthly backups of homedirs are sent via borg to rsync.net.
  • Desktop and laptop homedirs get periodic (roughly monthly) burns to Dual-Layer BDRs which I put in the fireproof box and sometimes hand off to family.

I suspect (without proof, just a hunch) that it's load and timeouts. I've had to subscribe, wait a few seconds, reload, unsub, reload, subscribe, lather-rinse-repeat a few times to get subscriptions to lemmy.ml work from lemmy.sdf.org.

CTO coming in hot, an employee poaching lawsuit, pet dev team working in a "bunker" separate from corporate, and that no matter how well-documented and designed "Chesterton's fence" applies to back-ends so it's unlikely to be a smooth cut-over. These are all bad signs.

What's good is that you have some number of months, maybe a year, maybe more, to find your next role.

As someone who has played thousands of games of Shattered with >600 games just on my most recent phone (108 of those ascended) and has ascended with all the sub-classes... git gu... no, no, no, ask questions. Some of the mechanics are kind of subtle and exploiting them can take thought. I personally find the Huntress/Warden the easiest (because the spirit bow has unlimited ammo letting you sell off thrown weapons and the free seeds and dew drops can keep you alive).

I've been in the weird space of on-prem "cloud" infrastructure (mostly kubernetes) for the last seven years but I've been doing infra, middleware, and devops for more than twenty years and have my own way of working that's nearly GUI-free.

Tools I use every single day:

Less often but very useful:

  • socat a swiss army knife for sockets.
  • ansible
  • terraform

Languages, because I write my own tools:

  • Go, a lot of it and I still don't like it.
  • Python, and I tolerate it (Perl is still better for getting things done but lost mind share).
  • Rust, and I like it.
  • Elixir, and I love it.
  • Guile and Janet when nobody's looking and I don't have to share (though the Nix folks don't mind me...).

Came here to mention Endless Sky. Great game!

Don't be misled if you were a fan of the old Mac games Escape Velocity or EV:Nova, Endless Sky is inspired by/derivative of EV but is not the same and you'll (well, I did) find out the hard way that the old strategies don't carry over.
