Currently reading Heretics of Dune. It’s…very different from the first three but only as different as God Emperor of Dune was.

Reminds me of a character in The Expanse who gets illegal hormone gland implants that can be activated for a burst of heightened awareness. The drawback is twofold. When the activation wears off the user experiences debilitating nausea for several minutes. Over the long term the illegal part comes into play because you know those things aren’t rated for health and safety. This character requires regular blood transfusions/dialysis due to toxin buildup from shoddy workmanship.

Anyway, that’s an entire tangent. I’m excited to see if there are interesting complications from a doctor who’s strapped with combat drugs of questionable ethics.

A fun fact about those furnace filters is that combined with your aver 20-22 inch box fan they’re a cheap way of getting very clean air in your house with a Corsi-Rosenthal box. https://cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filters/

That’s great! I was wary of the functionality of PWAs the first time I used them (fearing a lack of functionality) but it’s been a breeze with every one so far.

Firefox for Android also has the “Install” feature although I don’t know if that’s technically a PWA or just a sandboxed browser window.

The part about it being unforgivable sounds extreme. How can there be “consequences” for simply temporarily opting out of a chat app?

Losing touch with friends for a while definitely sucks but if you need a break from literally an app then real friends will accept that.

I like it as a “sometimes” thing. It’s adds a very in-your-face lolsorandom aspect to the game that is too much for most games.

It’s fun but can invalidate too many cards and decks and board states to be the normal way to play for most people.

Syncthing, Plex, and DokuWiki.

My needs are small but Syncthing is for standard file sync and DokuWiki is for a repository for my family. It’s been surprisingly useful to be able to spin and delete up a syncthing folder for some specific thing.

Plex is for my ripped DVDs and also a great way to consume my photos archive without keeping a copy locally on my phone.

To be fair about the archiving thing you have to consider that being able to make old data read only allows you to optimize a lot of things. With good engineering the allowance for archival should make the whole site faster and more stable. So sort of a soft feature.

This link will show you all cards in the game sorted by their popularity in the EDH/Commander Format. It’s doesn’t break it down by other formats but I think it’s a good start.

Seconding proxies. It’s a steep learning curve at the beginning but far cheaper in the long run as long as you aren’t playing in tournaments.
