I’ve not read All-Star yet, but I keep getting it recommended to me. Thanks!

Have you ever read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman%3A_Red_Son ?

I’m not a big fan of Superman stuff, but I found that one to be pretty interesting.

IRC is still around! I run my own server and everything. It’s still a blast :)

I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve sent some variation of “Yeah, so I think we should reboot the server:wq” into irc

I find some sites like that, but for the most part, if not having JS breaks the site, then I just move on. It’s very rare that there is only one website where I can find the information that I need.

I also have it set up so that it’s just one button to re-enable JS, so it’s quick and easy to turn on if I decide to do so.

I’ve gone to disabling JS by default, and only whitelisting sites that I want. It’s made things much simpler for me.

I wasn’t doubtful, unfortunately. I went in a true-believer, expecting to get a Religious-Studies degree. But I left early as an Atheist. I’m glad that I did, but fundamentally shifting my life like that really messed me up. Deprogramming myself was the hardest, but best decision that I ever made.

Wise

I’ve been self-hosting my own AI stuff for a bit using Ollama. I use it to create images, design a tattoo, run a chatbot, write emails, write code and commit-messages, run a D&D game, explain concepts that I’m not familiar with, translate languages, etc.

I’ve been toying with different models, and I’m not sure that I have one that I would say is a goto. I am liking Ollama to be able to easily pull in and test new LLMs, as well as Stable-Diffusion for image generation/modification.

I loved Perfume. The movie is a lot of fun as well.

Totally. If it had been described it to me, I’d have probably passed on it. But a friend of mine highly recommended it, and I’m glad that I listened. It’s more interesting than it sounds, and its such a quick, enjoyable read.

Last book: This is How You Lose the Time War - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_How_You_Lose_the_Time_War
It was good. I don’t normally like love-stories, but this was poetically written. A lot of fun sci-fi and beautiful imagery.

Current book: Little Brother - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)
Lots of fun hacking and rebellion against an increasingly authoritarian government, very much inspired by 9-11. It’s a fun Young Adult Novel so far.

You can also give yourself equipment and money, if you set yourself up as a GM

I have one as well, and it’s so much fun. It’s pretty much just for my SO and me, but sometimes I have friends join. It’s super cool having GM commands and all that.

Good work, I hope you have fun with it!

It does dark-theming with config.set(‘colors.webpage.darkmode.enabled’, True), and I run it with JS turned off by default. That gets rid of the vast majority of ads for me.

I’ve downloaded all of the videos for a few channels. I know they will eventually get taken down, so I want to have backups ready for when that happens.

Not usually. I don’t typically look too much at the instances I’m interacting on to know if they care about reports or not.

I generally tag people who are being shitty. It’s totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.

The good news is, you have no tags! :)
