Never heard of Shortcat before, it reminds me of that vim shortcut that used to be popular for firefox back in the day. I can see how that would be really powerful.
Since this is gaining some traction. I'm curious if you are using jails and a jail manager, what are you're using now? I'm still using IOCAGE (Version 1.2) on freeBSD 13, but it seems like its not the best way to do it anymore? Documentation is all over the place on what is the best way to manage jails now.
Still on ezjail myself. Set my NAS/home server up several years ago with a blog post tutorial centered around ezjail and have just carried that forward. Eventually will need to do a fresh reinstall though and would be interested to know what's considered best practice these days.
Bastille also has a sister project 'rocinante' which allows you to use Bastille templates on
the host. I converted my ansible scripts to bastille templates and it works a lot better for *ME*. I found I spend more time updating ansible scripts whenever I needed to use them, it costed more time then just using a setup.sh script, which rocianate basically is.

Another new kid on the block for jails is AppJail, it has some interesting features. I have not played with it enough to say how stable it is.

I like it but wish the puzzle had gravity at the x,y intersection and not just the x axis. For example if you clear out a row it would shift the other rows over to the left.
I think you meant column and columns, not row(s) (for those who need mnemonics: Rows Run to the Right, Columns Climb)
I think whether to do that is a design choice, though. The current setup puts a penalty on clearing center columns early, effectively splitting the game in two.
Easier than a mnemonic is just remembering what real-life rows and columns are. A Roman column [1] pretty obviously has to be vertical or it wouldn't do its job of holding up a ceiling. And you get ducks in a row but they're not often stacked on top of each other.
Non-native speakers may need some help (but likely only if their language isn’t Germanic or influenced by Latin. ‘Row’ is Germanic in origin, and I think Latin ‘columna’ made it into many languages)
Interesting! I've been considering introducing new types of tiles that have unique behaviors in the future, and this could be one of those. I want to balance simplicity with fun, so plan A is to refine the puzzle generation strategy as much as I can before doing stuff like this though.
do you know if you can pass through raw disks as well? I.e. i see that it supports ZFS could i attach that pool within a vm and not directly to proxmox?
I have done PCI passthroughs and USB passthroughs. One of my PCI passthroughs is a MegaRaid card. Not sure how you are physically connecting the pool, but if the pool is running on dedicated hardware, there's a good chance you could passthrough the hardware...very good if PCI or USB based.
Proxmox's hosts controller does not require being on ZFS itself...you can have multiple drives and filesystems. If it were available to Proxmox and not passed through, it could be allocated only to a particular VM. In case that was your only end goal..
Wow. I would say -- let me just back up and say that generally the job of investigative reporting is mostly about getting up to speed as quickly as possible about really complicated topics, and then communicating what you've learned in readable prose in as short a time period as possible. So the biggest challenge is when you have the hardest, most complex subjects. After the 2008 crash I was given a general assignment to explain what happened, and since I knew nothing about Wall Street, I basically had to learn about ten years' worth of financial practices in the space of maybe eight weeks. Those early stories about Goldman and AIG were both thrilling and terrifying because it was so much to digest.
Another fun one (in retrospect) - I don't know if this is investigative journalism exactly, but I was once involved with what in hindsight was a very crazy caper: a Russian newspaper called "Stringer," for whom I worked occasionally, had a contact who was willing to sell them a week of wiretapped phone calls from Putin's chief of staff, Alexander Voloshin. I ended up doing the writeup of that story. There were some minor improprieties exposed in the transcripts, but nothing world-shaking. Still, I was so terrified about publishing it that I left the country. And when I returned, I was detained at Sheremetyevo airport for hours. It turned out the problem was an unlamented passport page. I thought I was going to prison forever.
The engine is very good; it's recognized all my writing. The downside is that it is offline -- it happens in the cloud. This means it's a little delayed and sometimes it seems mysteriously unavailable completely.
Ha, I see your point. I used "offline" because it is happening in a way that is disconnected with my interactive usage. It doesn't analyze the handwriting as I write, it processes it in batch later, and this might even happen during a moment when I'm not connected to the internet. But I can see why this usage could be ambiguous or confusing.
This doesn't surprise me at all, I've completely stopped shopping at Amazon since it is impossible to determine the quality of a lot of the goods on their site. It seems to take longer to research what is worth buying versus going to the store and finding something that looks like it is good quality.
