@mary lost power. Oh the joys of living in NY.
I never lose power, so your experiences with losing power in NY have to be related to being in rural locations or lack of payment type issues.
When I was on NYSEG we lost power once in 3 years... now that I'm on a rural Coop we lose power at least once a month.

Getting ready to kick off a new custom campaign using The Burning Wheel system as the basis.
I have all of those books and really like the conflict resolution mechanism. I've never played it though.
Finished Carnival Row last night. The show has some really good potential and Season 1 was really good. Can't wait for Season 2.

Sigh
with some regret - rejoined Facebook....
Sigh
not even sure why -
Don't feel bad. Facebook is designed to be an addiction - like alcohol or tobacco.
You may not know why you rejoined but Facebook's psychologists knows exactly why.by that logic, I've been 60 days sober from Facebook !
About 2 years.

Finished Parks and Rec for the first time.
@MattSpeller reminds me of Ron Swanson. I am sure he gets that a lot seeing as Ron is his avatar. Haven't seen Matt in awhile though
He's the wild Canadian that just appears sometimes.

I've been watching The Orville. I never thought I would enjoy an episodic series again, but I keep coming back to it.
I need to catch up on that again. It was really good.
I've been watching The Tick on Amazon Prime... it's so goofy but it's really a fun show.
@Obsolesce said in Spoliers - are you angered when people post spoilers on social media?:
I enjoy spoilers.
I'm the type to want to know what happens before I watch.
For example, on Netflix for a given show I'm watching, I'll scroll ahead to read the descriptions of the ones I haven't seen yet so I know the basics of what will happen.
I don't know why, but it makes it more interesting to me. Same with movies.
Yeah I do this as well. If I'm really interested in the story I'll go on the internet and look at episode synopsis just to see what happens faster. Most of television is just filler anyway so I'm not really losing out on anything.

How the hell are old GTX 1080Ti cards still like $850? This makes no sense, those are really old.
Ah the times when Cryptomining destroyed the video card industry. Pricing is just starting to recover.
Going to just outside of Pittsburgh, the in-laws.

Had my car towed illegal tonight. Was properly parked and a towing company just came and took it. Argh.
Time to go carless.

My conclusion about the Mandalorian: <ssnip> and has next to zero story or progression.WTF? You want a TV series to be done in 1 episode? What would be the point of a series?
Get over the binge watching attitude of needing to see 10 hours of story at once.
That or wait until the season is over and then watch the fucking thing.
It may well turn out to be shit. But that is not what it looks like so far.
I'm probably in the minority. But so far the pacing of The Mandelorian has been pretty decent. It throws a ton of lore in there without going overboard, and gives you plenty of time during the show to digest what's going on.
It also, bizarrely, doesn't play the audience for stupid. Which is a nice change of pace.

Do internal Web Servers need to be on HTTPS??
e.g. Zabbix
We only access it from inside of the company. If i'm out and about i VPN in and then access the server
NEED TO BE? No
SHOULD BE? Yes
Any good reason to avoid it? No.
This was going to my answer. It's so easy to setup HTTPS that it makes no sense not to.

Ok so next level. Use a Certificate from an internal CA? As you can't use something like Letsencrypt
Or just use HTTPS
Why wouldn't Let'sEncrypt work? Do these systems not have access to the internet at all?

They can do that, but they don't automatically.
I quoted the constitution. It's pretty clear that he can't "hold and enjoy any Office of honor". If he's found guilty.
@scottalanmiller said in Good Custom Mob Spawner for MineCraft:
Anyone know of one? My daughter tried one but it didn't work. Trying to find a good one that is currently maintained. This is for "real" MineCraft Java.
What do you mean Custom Mob Spawner? Can you elaborate? Are you looking for new mobs that will appear in the environment?

@FlashDaggerX said in Good Custom Mob Spawner for MineCraft:
@scottalanmiller I'm with coliver on this one. Are you looking for a mod?
There are many Minecraft mods in existence, and most of them use a common mod framework called Forge. In order to use mods, you need to download the Forge Mod Loader, which can be found here.
This isn't 100% accurate as you can easily install mods without Forge. Forge is just a shitty framework to do so.
Forge adds a ton of hooks and tools for mods to tie into. Lots of mods all but require it.

Bought my wife a copy of Titan Quest... bad idea
Still a great game which supports LAN-only multiplayer - sadly, most older games don't play well with with virtual NICs from Hyper V and Docker Desktop.
Looks like an early rendition of WoW.
It's more like Diablo. Great game for its time
like Diablo and Diablo 2?
More like D2 or PoE. The interesting aspect is that you can combine two classes, like rogue + mage or rune + defender.
I guess you aren't talking about Power over Ethernet?
My bad: Path of Exile, really worth it. Free 2 Play without Pay 2 Win. You can only buy chest space, character slots and cosmetics, but nothing that makes you more powerful in any way.
I agree that the game has a ton of play through and depth, but it's such a massive grind.
I think that's the point of the genre.

That's awesome. I've never looked at this but sounds like I should.
If you were a fan of Diablo 2 you'd love Path of Exile. Even Grim Dawn, another phenomenal hack-n-slash, doesn't hold a candle to PoE.

So long as you weren't goofing off during that time obviously. You said you were watching your kid, so I assume there was some amount of "not working time" there. That's fine.
But I'd kind of equate that to your lunch break, how much "not working time" was there?
about 2 hours total through out the day. 1 hour for lunch then - an hour for taking care of the kid.
So 7 hours makes sense then.
