I'm finally goofing around with building a new personal website, with the hopes of eventually switching from WordPress to Hugo. It's fun to sling HTML and CSS around again.
Random thing I'm appreciating about Netrunner today: AI icebreakers.
Netrunner has a sort of lock-and-key system where the Corp player can defend their side of the board with three types of ice: barriers, code gates, and sentries. Each functions a little differently. The Runner player usually needs specific icebreaker programs to get past those ice: fracters for breaking barriers, decoders for breaking code gates, and killers for breaking sentries.
But then some icebreakers, the ones with the AI subtype, are like skeleton keys: they can be used on any sort of ice, regardless of subtype⦠but at an extra cost. Some they can only be used once. Some require outside support to be effective. Some are hyper-efficient, but also hyper-specific.
I love the unique places that AI design goes, because there are so many creative ways to offset the flexibility and efficiency of a card that breaks the "rules".
I love doing the same thing.
I don't think anything happened in 2016. The publisher, FFG, pulled support for the game in 2018, but a certain volunteer fan organization has been providing ongoing support since then.
I've seen reviews since 2016, so it might just be the cards you picked. I think there's a "Reviews" link in the navigation bar that will show you the most recent reviews, should you be interested. π

One of these days, I'll once more be able to 3D print in PLA and not have the corners warp upwards.
That's what I keep telling myself, at least.

Happy Equinox, all!
What have your harvests yielded? What are you filling yourself with?

Hypolite, I don't even have kids yet! π
I mean, that was absolutely what I was going for, so I count that as a success regardless.

Getting magical items in D&D is probably my favorite part.
They're so cool and creative!

One of these years, I'm going to finally learn that when building a cocktail that needs to be stirred, I shouldn't add ice until after I've done that.
To get my ham radio license, I have to give the government a mailing address that will be publicly accessible.
On the one hand, I definitely don't like the idea of my home address being searchable/scrapeable/more accessible to the federal government.
On the other, I don't really want to spend $120/yr on a PO box.
#amateurradio or #hamradio folks, any clever recommendations?
As I understand it, it doesn't have to be where you live, but it does have to be an address where you can be contacted. People who live on RVs and boats have ways around this too.
Though, before you go too far down the rabbit-hole trying to avoid this, consider whether or not your home address is already public record...

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. I may look to see if a friend or family member doesn't mind being my mailbox for this.
consider whether or not your home address is already public record...
This is a fair point, and, like I said above, I'm wary of expanding that surface cavalierly. My address is in public recordsβI know because I get a lot of mortgage junk mailβbut not all public records are equally accessible. Some are accessible via request to the governing agency, whereas some (like radio licensee records) are available just via an open web form.
Wary doesn't necessarily mean I won't do it, I just want to think it through, y'know?
Get over it.
I'm temporarily working from an air-conditioned office due to the heat wave from hell, so I'm using my laptop (which I've barely touched in a year).
Thanks to Navidrome, I can stream my music library from my server and rock out. And I can brag about it here on my social network.
Self-hosting is so rad.

Just so ya'll know, Disney sent a bunch of take down notices to every shop on etsy that has the words "Thor, Loki, Odin, Heimdall, or Frigga" in the listing title, tags, or description. They're literally trying to copyright Norse Gods, incase you didn't know how evil they were.

The point has been made repeatedly, but I still cannot get over how "there is a market for labor, sometimes market conditions change, and companies actually have to participate in that market" is being covered like some crisis that requires desperate and unorthodox measures.
Hell yeah.

This is, to the letter, one of the motivating "passions" of fascism.
The Q bullshit is a violent fascist movement and we're watching it grow in real time.
There isn't a single narrative. Multiple threads come together in the Quilt. What appears to tie them together is a fear that they have "lost" their country to a nefarious outside force. Sometimes it's Communists. Sometimes it's the Deep State. Sometimes it's a satanic cabal. 3/

I'm currently in the middle of about eight different books and all I want to do is start about that many more.
I need to finish reading some books.

Yesterday's crafting project: finally assembling my #piecepack! I did some serious redesigning this week, and sat down yesterday with my long #themagnusarchives backlog and put it all together.
I plan to release the files and create a version for sale on The Game Crafter soon.
I started a 3D print last night and woke up to find it had warped a little bit on the bottom. Not enough to ruin the print, but enough to be noticeably bothersome.
I rather wish it had been ruined, so I would feel justified in scrapping the whole thing and starting again. But since it's technically usable as-is, the real waste would be discarding a usable print because it doesn't look perfect.
Damn. π

I want to note, on top of the queerphobia and sexual puritanism here, that these photos are obviously paparazzi bullshit taken from distance with a telephoto lens. This is 100% punishing private behavior among consenting adults purely because someone violated their privacy.
