  • If you’re ok with some bulk, go for an nvme enclosure. I have a sabrent one with a 256 GB crucial gen 3 drive in it, it’s a slow cheap drive, still substantially better than any usb key and you can put one together for under $100 cad including a longer high speed cable.

    I just did a fresh install off of my usb key and wow, super slow compared to any time I’ve done off my enclosure


  • My partner and I gave up destiny before witchqueen dropped, played pretty consistently since house of wolves with a pause just before forsaken until shadow keep. Absolutely loved the core mechanics and the PvP is some of my favourite, but it just felt so stale, barely any new maps, sunsetting old ones, lack of committing to ideas (4v4 was actually solid, some of the maps do not play well in 6s, 3s are fine though), rotating gamemode playlists like d1 had (for 6s I find control annoying after a while, 3s I liked relic in d1, mix in elimination and I’d be good)

    It’s a shame because as I said, core mechanics rock, slug shorties and hand cannons feel amazing, and fusion rifles are legitimately awesome as well. I have really solid memories of doing stupid things with stuff like the Le Monarque and No Land Beyond. Wasn’t a huge fan of some metas but had some fun times with the games.











  • Why does that image only have the sun and the rebel from Canadian media? Both are given more credibility than they deserve, the rebel in particular has history, bunch of white supremacists and alt right personalities were or are still involved, publication absolutely stokes hate and fear.

    Edit: I’m still at a loss, why those? The Globe and Mail, McLean’s, The Toronto Star, National Post, CBC all have better reputations domestically (though natpost and the sun are a circle these days and most print media is owned by American Hedge Funds so…), far more likely to actually get the news instead of opinion masquerading as news in one of those.





  • That’s almost enough time to get through a full Gregtech:New Horizons run!

    So my first thought is:

    1. Minecraft, even a handful of modpacks would set you up for a long time
    2. Morrowind, pretty much any tes game is going to give you lots of replay
    3. Rimworld, same as Minecraft in that I’ve already had for years and it’s on the top of my played hours on steam.

    I may swap one with Satisfactory if this question was asked after 1.0. Elden Ring would be up there too, and maybe Stellaris, actually really difficult to limit to a small handful, there’s a few I have as semi regular replays (ME trilogy, DA:O) that don’t have the same time investment.

    Edit: after reading some comments,

    1. Minecraft, modded Minecraft gives you massive amounts of replayability
    2. Mass Effect Collection, this is a bit cheaty as it’s bundling the trilogy in one group, but the ME series is still one of the more memorable game series to me, between that and DA:O I’d have a hard choice but think the trilogy would win out.
    3. Elden Ring, only picked up before the DLC dropped and it’s already in my top 5, world is amazing, I do loosely themed runs when I play so I’ve not even scratched the surface in terms of build possibilities and it’s great for someone who likes to theorycraft

  • I was originally going to to go the docker route but honestly just ended up going the binary route and leaving it using sqlite as it’s good enough for now. It’s pretty well documented and a chunk of the prereqs I already had, like the git user creation.

    Did have SSH auth issues though, probably becauae I didn’t fully cleanup after uninstalling gitlab (oops), had them in parallel for a bit to migrate the repos, gitlab had it trying to use gitlab-shell which didn’t exist anymore. Probably a better/proper solution but what worked was changing the git user’s home directory back to /home/git as gitlab had it using a gitlab config directory. I welcome anyone giving me a better/cleaner solution for this, on my to do list to do some more cleanup.
