GeyserMC will be your friend if using Bedrock and Java. But the big thing is that community is a little all over the place. I use ChatGPT to walk me through everything to securely …

There’s a few things mixed up in this comment. But the 10-20x cheaper, I’m assuming comes from the difference between the number of tokens you can use on a $200 Claude Max subscrip…

Just wanted to say thanks! The first time played Flight Simulator 2020 with SmoothTrack I was blown away. I still am blown away each time too. Great experience that’s been nearly f…

I still use an IrDA device on a regular (3-4x yearly) basis - ScubaPro Galileo Luna dive computers. What’s more - somehow this works on an M-series Mac using no additional paid sof…

Java is the original version from Mojang/Notch. There’s always been enough of a community that killing it off to move away from Java would break so many extensions and servers woul…

Geotargeting. I live in a semi rural area. My town has 1.1% of kids who are classified as ESL. There’s a much larger town near us that has 32% ESL and 70+% of Hispanic descent. We …

During the old days lots of things were easier to get. Semi related to this - Ian Goldberg famously had the email address n@ai (Ian backwards if you missed it) - which caused probl…

Simple for simple cases - but you update a dependency and that updates a dependency that has a window range of dependencies because one version had a security issue which causes yo…

I was pleased that at my local toy store (yes, we still have one, The Time Machine in Manchester, CT) they carry Choose Your Own Adventure books. What’s more, last week we picked u…

All the authors up front have fidonet node numbers associated with them.

You’ve just described Ambient Weather. What I find kinda funny about that is they still try to upsell you to get more than 1 year of data retention. Luckily, they allow you to conf…

The State of Charge YouTube video that covered the announcement and visited a site in McKinney, TX indicated it did need the Walmart app[0]. Sigh. Plug and pay charging is so much …

And let’s not forget that until the DSM-V, a child could not be diagnosed with both autism and ADHD (see section E at the bottom of this table [0] showing changes from the DSM-IV t…

I moved all my setup to Ansible about five years ago. It’s been awesome, especially as it makes it trivial to replicate changes to new machines. Installed a new package? Run the pl…

This is, quite possibly, one of the best nerd sniping comments I’ve seen. Two thoughts come to mind, one not serious, one serious. 1. I can’t imagine having to align the counters o…

Because the ones running Docker in production aren’t paying the license fees they make you pay to use Docker Desktop.

I’ve had a couple of the original, the prime, extend, and now the Flex 4K. They’ve all been terrific devices. The extend was a little wonky because transcoding goes wonky on bad si…

Radio can work, but again, I’m on the edge of reception areas and the hills make picking up FM and AM inconsistent. In the event of a truly severe weather event (the ones where the…

Newer iPhones and the XReal One glasses are just fine and in part with the admittedly mediocre experience of Android devices. Let’s not pretend that Nebula on Android is good. I’ve…

Ditto. I bought them because I travel a lot for work and TVs at hotels are always a mess when it comes to HDMI in. I use them on maybe 1 of 4 flights I’m on (usually on SteamDeck w…

Or, the manufacturers will lose patience with slow adoption, the mess that is widevine DRM (what? Your TV isn’t based on Android? No, you can’t have DRM!), and customers really not…

I live in an area that is on the edge of coverage and has lots of hills. On ATSC 1.0, CBS is hard to pick up. Frequently unwatchable - which means unreliable for sports. I picked u…

1Password makes this fairly easy. I’m sure other tools can too. But if you’ve got a tool, you just don’t need to think about it. As long as 1Password doesn’t get LastPass’d - altho…

You can have the best of both worlds - use atuin and fzf. I use fish shell, so you'll have to forgive any fishisms. First, when you start atuin, don't bind to ctrl-r, instead manua…

Repomix can take care of this for you. I pack it, cat the file to my clipboard with pbcopy, and just paste it into the prompt. https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix
