Interesting this is going to be on steam and other platforms. Must have been in the works before all the other management screwups.

If I were more serous I would probably get a couple of those. I remember it being part of our procedures at a gov office.

I should get more things on gog.

Steam just makes things work on linux without issue so thats why we still get steam games.

Are tape drives still a thing?

My family does “digital detox” weekends before. Its made certain days more interesting and fun since we have to go out of our comfort zone to be entertained.

No screens are allowed.

Thats great!

I have so much pothos and spider plants. They grow in anything I swear.

My theory on concrete and plants:

1. Thats a LOT of dirt and material without any competition for the roots.
2. Water/moisture is in the cracks/holes/etc… so it helps the plant with constant moisture control.
3. Some plants know how to take care of rocks and paths are just big rocks.
4. Random selection as this one seed is extremely good at surviving.

Just some thoughts. I have a fruit tree that LOVES it next to concrete. I get fruit every year from that thing.

Nice, glad you like the design. I do too.

I think in theory it would be easier to repair. But it is 250 which is quite a bit.

Ill know in a couple months!

If anyone wants to see the old project: https://hackaday.io/project/192688-the-open-book

Its been around for a bit. The newest iteration looks like its trying to be more like kindle.

I forget where but the developer goes over the cost of the physical hardware a couple of years ago somewhere. Its kinda expensive to make your own open source ebook reader from mostly scratch.

I like this version: https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/projects/openbook/

Very similar to https://diptyx.dev/

But its been around longer. Software looks really good for an esp32. Im hoping we see more of these open source ebook readers pop up.

Nice!

Im seeing an update every month and ive never experienced any ghost touches.

Last update was 4.0-a14-20260610633982-official-FP4 which is 6/10.

I dont think people care enough about piefed for that sort of thing.

Theres AD compliant software out there interestingly enough.

My office is slowly decomissioning our ms servers afyer the whole cloudstrike thing. Its been nice standing up linux servers again. And saves $$.

Same. Im glad hes doing ok.

WTF did I read

They test a LOT of the packages from what I understand. Not a good or bad thing but it does make things harder to update as time goes on.

We are seeing a general decline thats for sure.
