An independent studio that develops a game I’m playing recently launched a “supporters edition” which includes pretty much OST, a bunch of wallpapers and some concept art. It’s essentially a donation.

I thought - wow, with half the videogame world owned by Embracer Group I actually want to support this smaller studio.

It has to do with the “fashion language” and what each item “is speaking”.

To me, a synthetic jacket speaks “trekking” (even though you can wear it anywhere, not necessarily trekking), a backpack is also “trekking”-ish so it matches in my head. But if you have a tailored wool sports coat with clean silhouette lines, which speaks “city”/“elegant”, and you slap a synthetic (or any for that matter) backpack on top it clashes to me. I guess it would also wear down the more delicate wool weaves from friction.

Say, I wouldn’t want to wear a backpack with something like this or this

But to me it would be more fitting with something like this or in general when trekking around somewhere.

Again, do what you want - I concede that backpacks are more comfortable. To me it just looks better with certain clothes and worse with others.

It depends on what you’re wearing. Synthetic jacket? Backpack is OK. Wool coat? Sports coat? You can dress however you want, but why did you chose that way in particular man

I like the Osprey Daylite Tote because it’s a convertible backpack<->tote so you can switch. Also qualifies as personal item on low cost airlines

this is so deep…

Same. I have a router with OPNsense. In the “Dynamic DNS” section I create a “Custom” service with the DynDNS2 protocol. I type in update.dedyn.io as the server address. You need to also get an api key from the desec.io web panel that you input into the username and password fields.

Now everytime the router’s WAN ip changes it automatically edits the DNS zone. So instead of going “your server -> DDNS provider -> DNS CNAME record” it’s just “your server -> DNS A record”

I also have a separate token for my web proxy (traefik) so that it can edit the DNS records to get let’s encrypt certificates through dns challenge as you describe.

As for the desec signups in my case one DNS zone was no problem, but for a second one I needed to e-mail them:

Hello, would it be possible for my newly created account to get one more domain on the account please? I have two personal domains and it would be great if I could keep them both under deSEC

Hi [me], Sure! The limit is mostly there to remind users to enable DNSSEC, but it looks like you’re already doing that (at your old provider).

They asked me to (voluntarily) donate, which I did too.

For linux games see jc141. For the most part if the game has a native port it will be marked as native in the title. If not, it’ll be emulated

Misleading title.

By the way, if you still want to use google’s search engine but want to avoid the AI stuff, see https://udm14.com/ or just add &udm=14 to your search query

As a medium, the image board is really interesting. No usernames (there are tripcodes etc.), no accounts, no upvotes. In the low traffic SFW boards that don’t really trigger people’s emotions (fashion, cooking) it can be pretty comfy with how low stimulus it is.

Not the first time for me. For example, on the mobilism (apk piracy) forum, only known mail providers are accepted (e.g. gmail)

Sigh Guardian doesn’t let me sign up for their newsletter on a mailbox.org account, shame, was a nice article.

Maybe linkhut then? https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/27/2025-03-27-Using-linkhut.html

HMD feature phones are such a let down.

The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don’t make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.

The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.

At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.

I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named “movies to watch”. I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn’t that similar to Pocket?

My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend “save to read later” probably also plays a part.

For example, some people don’t like that it’s centralized. It’s not like e-mail, where you can register with any provider and then cross-communicate. Moxie wrote more about this here

I switched to a feature phone that has nothing to do with Android for calling (Mocor RTOS/S30+) because I’m tired of fighting Android for the moment. I keep an unrooted smartphone at home for online banking. Kinda extreme but that’s one way.

I wanted something that’s more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy’s advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it’d be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.

E-ink smartphones like Mudita Kompakt seem pretty interesting, as the e-ink probably makes certain media unusable.

Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don’t use it, but I know it’s important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.

There’s also something about escaping Android.
