This might be obvious but it could be caching? Use a tool like dig to check if it’s really updated. Not had a problem with duckdns, works good.

This is good read

The Impact of Jungle Music in 90s Video Game Development

https://pikuma.com/blog/jungle-music-video-game-drum-bass

Jungle and many other genres of EDM were a perfect match for the fast-pace games that were developed in the 90s. Most of the titles using a jungle soundtrack were from the second half of the decade, although the trend continued all the way up through the mid 2000s.

Consoles from this generation were also able to store and play CD-quality audio, which meant developers could really take advantage of the entire spectrum of frequencies and sounds that both jungle & drum’n’bass demanded.

There’s a list of games at the end including Wipeout, Rage Racer, Gran Turismo, Bomberman, Sega Marine Fishing

Hedy is an open source programming language that is broken into levels for easy learning. As you progress the language gains more capabilities, so they are never overwhelmed with too much

In contrast to block based languages like scratch its goal is to leave students ready to switch to Python by the end.

Each level has small tasks to complete so you can tackle it piece by piece and get a sense of progression.

It’s become somewhat of a trend over the last several months for new projects to describe themselves as ‘modern’. Not only is this not a helpful descriptor (What is ‘modern’? Is the design modern? The codebase?), but a good portion of the time it’s simply not true.

I keep seeing ‘blazing/blazingly fast’ everywhere too, with a rocket or such emoji

Self-hosting anything that is deemed “content” openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell.

This is depressing. Profoundly depressing.

Sigh

This dir structure for git projects is the best one I think, especially if managing multiple identities/git configurations. Git has a ‘includeif’ to change your setup depending on which dir you are currently in:

copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/3313#issuecomment-3538526927

…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.

It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.

We tried the kiosk but it says something like ‘you need nintendo online subscription’

Nintendo online subscription required for this tho?

This is new:

https://github.com/dkorecko/PatchPanda

Self-hostable Docker Compose stack update manager.

And

when you choose to update, PatchPanda edits compose/.env files and runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d for the target stack. You can also view live log.

Discovered in the latest Self Host Weekly:

I have not tried it myself tho.

The link seems to say Threads support is only available as an add-on and therefore not simple to use with containerised HASS. This would be true for any Threads antenna though.

How frustrating about the hangs, looks like this has been a problem for years in various desktops and file managers and you’ve already found the best mitigation (keeping the mounts out of home)

Maybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.

I guess so, the readme states:

The game Cave Story was released in 2004 and made available in the freeware version after more than five years in development…

It is good, a nice mix of story and action I think plus the (unique?) concept of your owl carrying characters who have their own abilities is interesting. The puzzles are pretty simple it’s mostly about the combat though there’s also a little bit of stealth needed at times.

Difficulty does ramp up quite fast, or at least compared to something like Mario Wonder but Owlboy is a shorter game so I guess that’s to be expected. The pixel art is luscious and there are some memorable scenes. In reviews I think it ranges from 70-90% and I’d give it 80+ for sure.

If you have a linux machine Cave Story is also freely available via flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.gitlab.coringao.cavestory-nx

Owlboy, continuing my slow progress. Reminds me of Cave Story a bit.

Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
