I had an identical experience: in my area all of the comments were disparaging ethnic groups and having lived here my entire life the specific groups targeted were not even accurate.

To me it feels like a place to vent about an "other" you suspect may or may not be there.


Yep. Same here. Disturbing stuff.

Thanks - I actually used cactus and llama years ago when I got interested in playing diablo 2 again and it was really cool to try out the older versions of the game and to play around with the larger stash.

Curious - I remember thinking about this a few times after using it - I don't see the binaries in git anymore, was this done for performance reasons or did Blizzard reach out?


Yup it was a combination of factors, but nothing legal related, Blizzard didn’t reach out. It was easier for me to maintain and provide a better experience by just hosting the main file archive itself on my server directly since all of the binaries live there anyways. I use GitHub primarily as a markdown rendering frontend for the project. Of course the Cactus Core itself is publicly available and the source code can be found at the https://github.com/fearedbliss/Cactus-Core page.

Edit: By “llama” I’m guessing you mean Alpaca (my simple stash extension based on PlugY 11.02)?

I would love to read about this :)


Tangential - I just watched this and found it very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-N-fgKWYGU


I agree that clicking on what appears to be a placeholder but instead acts as a label should at the very least focus the input box so you're prompted to type in it. However the UI overall is pretty simple and clean.


Uhh.. damning praise. I think that can be rephrased as: "It's pretty, but despite being almost the simplest thing you can imagine, it still has ridiculous, unnecessary usability problems"


> Also a good reminder that it's a very good idea to have the screen lock after a set time — even if it's long.

It's wild to me especially with how important the device itself and email the device has access to can be that someone in 2024 did not have a screen lock enabled.


Yeah if you give it the dimensions of a standard gaylord (48x40) it tries to stack the boxes in a really strange way with smaller boxes occupying the space below larger boxes and causing some boxes to float. I wonder if additional metadata is needed such as (1) box weight (2) resistance to being crushed and (3) priority (not sure if this is relevant when shipping but it will decide which boxes don't "fit" on its own).


> and have basic telephone connectivity issues

This turned me off to Pixel phones indefinitely. I got the Pixel 6 Pro and it could not figure out what it should be connected to: WiFi, 5G, or 4G and of course rather than just choosing one it decided to not have any connection whatsoever unless I moved a few hundred feet to a different location or rebooted the phone. There was lots of discussion around this and youtubers even covered it but rather than fix the issue Google focused on releasing the next phone.


Good to hear. I was in the ER in March 2020 initially because I thought I was having a heart attack but ultimately with what I assume was COVID. It's been a journey but I am doing much better now too. For about 2 years I had bad palpitations too but they've mostly gone away and the fatigue is beginning to subside.

One thing I noticed which might have been completely anecdotal but I felt like my first vaccine jumpstarted my recovery. If you don't mind me asking: if you got the vaccine did you notice the same?


I agree with you about dev boards but I think their post was focused on things like used NUCs or other small x86 machines that are only marginally larger than a Pi in an enclosure and include literally everything you'd want (enclosure, pwa fan, SATA SSD, NVMe, wifi, etc.) and the software support is there (linux / windows).


How about power consumption, especially in when not under load? I remember that Intel chips were not as efficient at it as chips with ARM cores.


Intel's finally getting competitive in this market with the 12th/13th gen chips, because of the heterogeneous efficiency/performance core layout. That said, I pine for an ARM SoC or SBC that has a larger core count, and doesn't have embedded RAM packages, or at least offers at least 32 GB of RAM.


Good point, I am not sure they can compete with the smaller arm development boards in that regard!
