We’re Alive. It doesn’t feel like a normal podcast - more like listening to a movie. A movie with tons of zombies.

Forget apple, we need more banana/banana creme ice cream flavors.

Exactly this. I don’t like Vance, but I can’t blame him for wearing a shirt while swimming. Sun shirts are way better than applying sunscreen every so often.

Fuck that noise too.

Trailer is definitely the way to go. I picked up an old kid trailer ~7 years ago at a yard sale. Ripped all the kid stuff off, cut a sheet of plywood to shape, and then bolted the plywood to the frame. With a few holes to attach straps/bungees it can haul most things.

Thank you for this, I’m going to set up my own Open RSC server tonight.

Not trying to be too critical here since everyone has done this at some point, but please don’t take photos on train tracks. There are so many instances of people being hit.

It’s not too terrible to set up a RO server. There’s even a guide to running one on a Raspberry Pi.

I followed the guide a few years back and it worked out pretty well. Instead of setting up a site to create user accounts I just ended up manually adding users to the database.

Technically, the “best” option would be to VLAN the WiFi network separately from a wired network where all the important devices are connected.

But honestly, for normal people, that’s over the top. Try WPA3 first and see if you have any devices that won’t work over it. If you run into issues, swap over to WPA2. I generally say start stricter and loosen the metaphorical belt only as necessary.

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn’t want it on PC due to EA junk.

More like short them. This is going to be devastating for their business. I could see them losing tons of customers.

Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.

I enjoyed playing through the remaster on PC. But after 100%ing the game, any time I’ve felt like playing it I just end up running the international version in an emulator.

I have wanted to build a scanner camera for ages. Nicely done!

Not surprising. Restaurants have become even more expensive and people already don’t have money to waste. Plus many of us are remote or hybrid.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.

As someone who has dealt with a couple dozen Surface devices in a corporate setting, I cannot recommend them. They’re fine when they work. When they have issues though, they are practically impossible to repair. Keyboard port issues, dock connection issues, bricked devices, and even expanding batteries are all issues I’ve run into. When you have an issue, Microsoft will just swap it out for a different one rather than fix the device.

You missed the /s in your comment.

Why are those patch cables so long?!
