  • Running arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don’t think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.

    I'm essentially doing this with my set up. I have a box running proxmox and a separate networked nas device. There aren't really any changes, per se, other than pointing the *arr installs at the correct mounts. One thing to make note of, i would make sure that your download, processing, and final locations are all within the same mount point, so that you can take advantage of atomic moves.

  • I've always thought it sounds like a horror song as well, which is why my favorite version is by the Lovecraft historical society: Carol of the old ones

  • Alternatively

  • you got me.

  • I dunno, i havent read it, but it describes itself as 'horror' several times, and calls itself "investigative horror". From what i've gleaned it was supposed to be victorian-esque call of cthulhu? But i'm also not 100% sure.

    You’re needed, investigators: join the secret society Candela Obscura to confront occult horrors from beyond, keeping hidden the true nature of magickal incursions besetting our world.

    Candela Obscura (bestowed the hashtag #CandelaObscura) is a new tabletop roleplaying game that places you in the roles of investigators working for an esoteric order. In this game of investigative horror, individuals of varied talents are brought together under the organization Candela Obscura. You’ll pursue strange occurrences and encounter dangerous magicks, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. Candela Obscura is the first to use the Illuminated Worlds System, a newly designed system that uses 6-sided dice and lends itself to narrative, arc-driven play.

  • Candela obscura is meant to be a horror game, so I doubt it's going to be with "a bit more sun". IIRC it's supposed to be call of Cthulhu-esque

  • You're talking about XMPP, and it was google with google chat that people refer to with it.

    That said, there's a lot of details that story people throw around about google killing it that lacks some details. Specifically that the premier service that used and developed the standard, jabber, was acquired by cisco like 8 years before google supposedly killed it, which i would argue affected it far harder than google chat did.

    It's also lacking a lot of modern features that were becoming staple around the time that it was killed; i.e. QoS, assured delivery, read receipts, and a few other things. I still don't think the protocol supports them.

    Also, the protocol still exists and is used. It's used by microsoft in skype for business, it's also the IM protocol for lots of gaming platforms like origin, playstation, the switch (for its push notifications for their online service), League of legends, fortnite, and others. It's still a reasonably popular standard when it comes to chat programs, though none of them that i'm aware of use the actual federation piece of it to talk to each other.

    While the tactic alluded to does exist ("embrace, extend, extinguish"), i've never been necessarily convinced that google "kiled" xmpp, as its been around a long time and continues to be for various reasons. Even with google chat, it was never a 'front end' thing many users even thought about, because it's back end frameworks tech, and it continues to be so in lots of different places today. I'm reasonably sure that the people who get upset about it and proclaim google killed it are basically just upset that it didn't become the defacto chat standard today, which i would argue almost nothing is the defacto standard anyways, unless you count discord which kinda came out of nowhere like a whirlwind and took over the chat space and has nothing to do with any XMPP drama.

    Ultimately, its up to you (whoever is reading this) to look into the facts of the matter and decide for yourself if that's what really happened, but keep in mind, the people who usually repeat the anecdote about how google killed it have an agenda to push. I'm personally skeptical, because there's reasons for google to have dropped it (see mentioned limitations above), and even back then, it wasn't that outrageously popular. In fact, i would argue its more widely used today than it was back then, but i have no hard numbers on that.

  • I mean, this is still more or less what the fast charging standards do; they're pouring more power into it faster with higher bandwidth cables and sectioned charging.

    The level 3 fast charger is basically the equivalent of 4 power cords from your wall. Also, adding more and more hardware and things for it will effectively make the electronics more complicated, which means more expensive, difficult to manufacture and repair

    But also, as you scale this up more and more you'll start running into issues that make it difficult to start pulling more power; energy from the grid isn't infinite

  • This is already what they do. Dry batteries that are bigger than about your phone are generally comprised a whole lot of battery cells. If you ever take em apart, you'd basically see the cells are made up of what looks like a whole bunch of AA batteries (but larger).

    They do charge "in parallel", but that's limited by how much electricity you can feed through into the system as a whole, and doesn't speed up the process, it just makes them all fill at about the same rate.

    Making the cells swappable is basically what this video is about.

  • no idea, but i went ahead and created a pathfinder community here, since we didnt have one (and since PF.social was previously the go to for it).

  • Also, I assume it's because the xml file in maven is typically called a "pom" file, so expanding that to pomni for some reason? It still doesn't make a ton of sense

  • As of java 21, you can actually just use:

    void main()

  • I appreciate your light touch on moderation, though I think you might want to have really basic rules e.g. no CP, to protect yourself as the apparent owner of the site.

    That's actually covered by rule 1 of the site rules.

    1. Don’t do anything illegal - anything against the law is basically prohibited here. We’d like to keep our instance relatively above board.
  • FWIW: Temp bans are frequently used as a "warning" both within lemmy moderation and on reddit. Not saying everywhere does it, but its a pretty common practice. I assume that's what the above ban was for, along with the note that was basically "please don't post porn".

    One key difference, though, is that the lemmy moderation action does not create a message that goes to the user and opens a dialogue like it does on reddit. For whatever reason, lemmy users are expected to go check the mod logs when their stuff gets moderated, rather than a message being sent to them. This is expected behavior of the software, which feels really weird/wrong to me, but it is what it is.

    As far as this particular moderation action goes: my stance as an admin is that mods of the communities are allowed to moderate their community as they see fit, so i have no real opinion one way or the other here on if that should be allowed or not.

  • For me, legacy of the wizard was a game my parents rented once when I was young, and I had one night to play it. I stayed up late playing it all night and my parents returned it the next day.

    I didn't know the title of the game so I spent nearly 30 years trying to figure out what it was, but it was obscure enough and my memories hazy enough that people thought I was making it up or something.

    I finally figured out what it was about a year or so ago when I just sat down with a complete list of nes games and went through them one-by-one until I found it.

    After I found it, I played it all day, and with the help of a walkthrough and save states beat it. Probably one of the most satisfying game finishes of my life even if I had to use modern cheats to get there.

  • Why not PNG?

  • in my non-profressonal opinion, overall, its alright. Not great, not completely terrible. It's better than the spelljammer books they put out a while back, but it's far from the best they've done for 5e.

  • "paranoia: the core book" and "the accomplice book" are currently the only books in the new edition that just released like a month ago.

    The red clearance edition is an older edition (2017-ish?) and i think it was a starter set/pack. The only book you need right now is "paranoia: the core book". The accomplice book contains a bunch of extra/optional rules, conversions, expansions, etc.
