And another great thing about Markdown: if the system doesn’t “support” it, it’s still totally readable. The formatting doesn’t get in the way of readability.

Personally I find it to be bad OPSEC, it just puts a big target on a potential victim from bad actors that are specifically targetting that business.

Knowing Valve, they wouldn’t wait but build the thing.

Personally, I’d be happy to have another reputable place to buy Android games that isn’t Google Play, Amazon or Epic Games.

Self-hosting isn’t only just about owning the metal, but it’s also the freedom to configure things the way you want, and to be sovereign of your data.

I did it for some memes, not like I’m making money out of it.

That way you can’t work around Microsoft getting a copy of your work no matter what.

Would you say that your game can be played entirely locally of you can’t save your game while offline?

I cannot fathom even using a software that ties a critical feature such as the ability of saving your work to an Internet connection.

At that point, if your software relies on the Internet to accomplish an important task, it doesn’t matter if the app is native or runs some code in your browser if some critical features depends on someone else’s system to work as expected.

Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about…

Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don’t need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬

I had to build a Windows Installer package using WiX Toolset, and v5 came out maybe 3-4 months at that point and the structure compared to v4 is quite different… that was fun trying to build something with lackluster documentation compared to v4. I gave a shot to ChatGPT, etc to help, but all it could spit out was a mess.

Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.

Smelly armpits is unmanly and uncivilized (no offense to those struggling with that).

He can go live in a cave away from civilization if that makes him feel manly.

If you not the only one holding the encryption key, you can’t guarantee your data cannot be snooped.

Either encrypt your stuff using GPG, or use something like Cryptomator.

It was bound to happen, and one less reason to use shortlinks.

Pressing “Join Group” just makes my Signal app crash on Android 🥴

When the void stares back.

Use Tor if you can, and people outside of these restrictive countries can help by running Snowflake in their regular browser.

Send 25¢ by mail and ask for the change back.

Me: You’re not wrong…

Just gotta shovel mid-storm so that you don’t have too much snow to remove in one go.
