Been using this for loose change for about 5 years.
Now the Universe is just taking the piss.
Ooh, using a thread as a feed, doesnât really belong on a philosophy forum, fair doâs, but people can justâŚ
âŚthreads if they donât like them.
Iâm a fucking IT ninja right now.
Mycelium sim here we come. Need to find that sim I posted about somewhere, with a little modding⌠dunno.
Thereâs no other time than the present.
Attention!
You have defiled the depiction of her Majesty.
I will find what system you are in, and you will learn respect, before becoming an Imperial slave with the worst possible assignment.
Expect the unexpected.

Discourse everywhere.
Your own server. You can (easily) have home VPN set up which means you can connect to your home network from any device using wireguard, which couldnât be simpler to use. You scan a QR code with your phone to add a new VPN to the list. You toggle the VPN on or off.
Home VPN also means that you can connect to anything in your home when you are connected to your VPN. I have a few servers running, including a discourse server, but I can also âwake upâ my desktop and access the files on there too. Can control whatever I want.
Your home network is your own personal internet.
And guess what? If you connect to your home VPN, itâs fully encrypted from source to destination, so you can connect to dodgy WiFi, as long as the VPN is working and you can access home, then the dodgy WiFi wonât get anything of use out of it.
?
edit â oh, and you could, for example, give close friends and family access to, for example, a Discourse server by providing a VPN QR code.
The software is amazingly flexible and you can customise it fully. Whatever caegories you like, whatever arrangement you want, the admin interface is clean (although some things can be a bit arbitrary and hard to find, but not the basic stuff.)
I highly recommend it.

Not always, but sometimes you see really weird shit in that game. Have you been sucked out of hyperspace by the aliens yet?
Iâll tell the story.
Was far out and away from the bubble, witches nebula or something, scanning everything that could be scanned.
Mapped some shitty planet, but then noticed points of interest on it, canât remember what they were but hadnât seen them before. Landed and dropped the buggy, then drove over to what was âthargoid barnaclesâ. Scanned them and got some juicy prize. Cool.
Took off and headed to the next system on the route, but while I was in hyperspace the instrumentation started going mental, ship started yawing all over the shop.
They fucking interdicted me out of hyperspace.
Then I really was in witchspace, and one of them in front of me. I scanned it, but then it turned and jumped away. Just me and the wake. I fogot I had a wake scanner so I just stared at it wondering what the hell just happened.
Then the wake disappeared and the computer told me I had missed my chance to scan it!
Aaaargh.
True story.
I must admit i never played it. I went the eve online and X route.
I am just a sucker for scifi so i get recommended all kinds of space games on youtube. So i know them aliens too.
Been a while since i enjoyed a proper space game.
Waiting for c-beams and falling frontier
Thatâs amazing, but I like to sit in the ship and fly it manually.
X2. I played the fuck out of that game. The music was very cool too.
You could really build a fluid empire, brilliant.
The last game, probably the only game where i appreciated doing that was
Im more of a strategy player myself, but freespace was so good it makes me weep even today.

You can use music as an anchor for relational memory retrieval, but thatâs just how some minds work I think. Can also use individuals, places, colors, smells, feelings, art, anything at all really. Just needs to be a domain that is meaningful for you.
Donât try to remember deep straight away, remember shallow and familiar, whatever comes to mind. Then you can go on to dive deep, recursively.
You actively rebuild your memory from many nodes, look for the stable attractors, they donât even have to seem relevant, because I guarantee you, they are relevant.
Donât use Jan Hankelâs method:
It has been proven not to work unless you are already standing right in front of the thing you are looking for.
