I saw that and just had to laugh, because these people and governments don't understand what encryption means and is meant to do.

based on the word voxel is the world completely buildable and detroyable?

Not in the same way Teardown is, (another awesome game by the way), but you can build/destroy.

@JaredBusch said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

based on the word tycoon is it a sim?

Yes, along the lines of a Sim City type game, but more fun.

I had time later and looked at the steam store. looks interesting.

I actually had it in my Steam wishlist for like a year or something. I had constantly ignored it because the name doesn't do it justice, and never really bothered to look much. I had added it back when I was playing more Teardown and searched for other voxel based games out of curiosity. I wish I would have looked at it closer a long time ago.

He and I had talked about the dangers and common behaviour of non-profits. He's not a normal non-profit, for sure.

I just got a ticket for Ohio Linux Fest. I'll only be able to attend Saturday, but looks like some interesting things happening.

https://olfconference.org/ if anyone else is interested.

Well, after the conference, I think it's time to give tower another look. A lot has changed, and it should be stable now.

El Salvador down to $34, but getting scarier to travel.

Currently having my mind BLOWN by this crazy, Siberian throat singing album my neighbor let me borrow. It's kinda metal-esqe, very heavy, but it's just voice and traditional folk instrumentation. And it's a studio album, so their use of reverb and other effects add to the uniqueness. NYTT LAND!!!

@dustinb3403 Sure, let me just get some rainbow unicorn farts sent their way and everything will be good.....

A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

Holy cow, I just realized that we've been using MC since Dec, 2018. That's 27 months ago!

Might also consider a ring light.

Actually the white wall that is just behind the laptop is much better than a ring light. Just bounce a light source of it and you'll get a very nice light. Search for "bounce lighting" if you want examples.

I have this setup - I have a LED lap that I pointed a the wall and turned the camera on - much better lighting for video calls and wat not.

Thanks for the idea!

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?
