Crepuscular. Related to twilight, dimness, the golden hour.
The summer and autumn had been so wet,
In winter the corn was growing yet,
Twas a piteous sight to see all around,
The crops lie rotting on the ground.
-- Gods Judgement on a Wicked Bishop, Robert Southey, c. 1790
Based upon a legend about a real person from ~900AD or so.
I'm guessing Ford and Slartibartfast will try and get in to this floating party, and it'll hit Arthur in the small of the back somehow :D

That's disgusting...

This will haunt you for years to come... It's seriously creepy. Brilliant, and if you're into that a masterpiece of it's art...
But very, very creepy.
I like this picture. The blur, the background bokeh, it's just... Nice.
Thanks for posting, you've a nice cat.
Hah, with you on that... I kind of like that the shield is directional, and if you're facing the wrong way, suck it...
Waking up still inside from the night before... Time for round n+1
Yeah.
Been there... Last night, in fact. Sleep timer went off, quarter to eleven. Just took about an hour to download gow: ragnarok on pc, had half an hour playing. "Ok, just a few minutes..."
3am this morning... "Ok, I'm now impaired enough that I'm fucking fights up... Better go to bed."
As "three dead trolls in a baggie" famously sung... "Every OS Sucks".
As true today as when it was first penned.
Maths - sin, tan and cos are all factors of the rotation of a circle, hence pi being on there. I'm not a mathematician, I just watch standup maths and can recommend his book, "love triangle" to explain this sort of stuff.
I'm really trying to do this with my daughter too - she's 7 and it's getting hard at times because she's wanting space, but I'll give her that as she wants it. Unless it is safety related of course...
With a PFY ready just outside the room with the improvised mega volt cables incase you get wise and try and bolt. And something happened to the lifts so the doors opened without the lifts being there...
people wouldn't have to masquerade as much behind legitimate business.
Yes, that's the point - they'd BE a legitimate business anyway. Sadly, the concept of it being not so, is so ingrained in Western (American and British, at least) culture that even comments in support reveal an unconscious bias that's hard to overcome.
So I'm looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that's FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).
I'm a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance "directly", or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app?
I can do the work, but before starting I'd like to know :-)
I love this concept and think it really has legs as a fantastic RPG idea...
My comment on the original post: It takes the *humanity *out of *alien/foreign/different *races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let’s work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don’t communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can’t concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you’ve got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines…
So I'm looking to build my own CM4-based NAS appliance. I figure that I've got the time to build it, and it'll be cheaper, more powerful and more capable than an off-the-shelf appliance (such as a QNAP or Synology device).
I'm looking to use it for self-hosting, probably 2 - 4 SSD's to run it (Happy to spend the money on the drives, as I can spread that out over time)... will likely start with a relatively cheap 2tib 2.5" SSD like the Crucial BX500 and scale up as I go...
I'd like a relatively neat box - something like the Argon EON. I'd like to use the CM4 because it's got the PCI-E so you can use a relatively full-speed ACPI interface to the SATA ports, which rules out the Argon EON (Except, possibly, as a donor case). I don't have a 3D Printer, but I'd be happy to purchase a printed model from a makers group or similar. I'm happy to actually build up a unit (setting up fans, etc.) but I've no soldering experience whatsoever.
Software-wise, I've already got a RPI4 which I've been playing around with... Seems pretty good, and I had pi-hole running on it for a while (until SD card unreliability took it down).
Does anyone have any experience with a build like this? Any advice on what cases to use, what hats for the PCIE-to-SATA work best? Anything at all, really, that you'd advise?
