I disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it’s really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man’s Sky for that reason - it’s fun to explore the crazy combinations.
The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…
I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.
Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things
You mean like git sparse-checkout
? Admittedly experimental but useful
What do people have against the Mach kernel?
Also, I was just looking this morning at writing something like that Fitbit/influxDB integration for YNAB (You Need a Budget) for visualization in grafana!
I usually don’t pay much attention to the “new software” section, but PerPlexed looks pretty cool! It never occurred to me that it would be possible to create an alternative Plex UI from scratch like that
You should reach out to the authors! I have no clue how they create their “new” section
Also, that CLI trick is crazy! Never knew that and I’m a fairly proficient shell user.
Anyone use authentik? Seems useful, most of my homelab services are unsecured ATM (just local only/vpn)
The thought of colocating my homelab is intriguing… But also sounds like way too much effort and money
Also, I like the “alternative to” blogs in https://blog.while-true-do.io/spotlight-alternatives-for-google-dns/?ref=selfh.st - it’s an interesting series.
Spotted homepage on there - might switch my dashboard from Homarr to that, give it a try. Anyone used it (or other dashboarding software) before?
Favorite terminal? iTerm2 on mac, hands-down. Wish they would port it to Linux.
On Linux though, I usually end up using guake, as I like having easy drop-down global access to my terminal.
Also never seen BaseRow before - anyone used that over NocoDb? Comparisons?
Just discovered OliveTin - I was thinking about writing something like this ages ago, but was always too concerned about security. Anyone ever use it or anything else similar?
Nice to see that BitWarden’s UI is getting some love… I tried using it a while back but couldn’t get past the terrible UX. Been happy with 1password since but maybe I’ll try switching again…
Happy to see ActivityPods, never heard of it before but was thinking that would be cool!
I don’t think they’re necessarily meant to be self-hosted, although they can be. The point is to decentralize and take control over your data. Will happily explain more when I sober up :)
The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).
