I highly recommend it, and for those who don't have the time to grind, you can join the shattered server where 24/7 scripting is allowed and encouraged. F2P subscriptions don't work on that server, unfortunately, but it has been a great hobby for someone like me who used to play back in the day but could never play it without scripting due to time constraints.
Just curious, how do you feel about using AI to help write the sermons?
Thanks, I missed that during my read of it
Why a tarball?
What kind of software actually requires this? Honest question. Anything I can think of would probably be written by C++ devs
I don't think you're missing anything, the speed is the impressive thing but the model is limited. Perhaps Chatjimmy is more impressive in this respect. Most people haven't tried either
Don't miss trying their demo: https://playground.kog.ai/
Feels like a preview of the future
Actually getting to use this is different than just reading about it. Feels like a preview of the future.

it's like a microcosm of the movie itself! super cool
looks like it! didn't know about yosemite's half dome but that makes perfect sense considering it's in the Sierra nevada mountain range. It's gonna have to stay an orca in my headcanon though
It occurs to me just now that the logo is in fact a mountain and not a breaching Orca whale like I'd always thought
Just got an email this morning saying my monthly $3 donation went through, and this article reminded me how the internet archive is truly the internet’s library and very worthwhile to support
So, you’re telling me the Finn won?
Anyone know how necessary UPnP is? From what I can tell, this setup does not run UPnP for automatic port forwarding
That’s a beautiful website, I’ve gotta say. Much respect to the artistry that went into this. Great font as well, I hope to find a fun use for it
I just ask it to generate mermaid diagrams, which are just code that you can render using the mermaid diagram website
You might enjoy the pandemic-era Princess Bride Home Movie, which Rob Reiner and his father Carl Reiner had a scene in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29s1yU3nGkQ
It's a crowdsourced home-movie version produced by dozens of actors in the midst of pandemic lockdown, recording on their phones and using home made props. The actors rotate through the individual roles so you get a real range of performances. I found it delightful.
Worth checking out the opening scene to get a sense of it
Do you mean train time?
Is there an affordable service for doing something like this?
This study came out June 1 2025 so it doesn’t cover more recent developments, but it’s fairly comprehensive in its treatment of the issue during prior timeframe: https://besacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/213-2.9.20...
Specifically pages 10-14 for an intermediate summary, or pages 29-30 for a shorter one, with chapter 1 providing the full details.
Curious to hear your thoughts if any
Everything is weaponized, whether it makes sense or not. They’re just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, and these things take a life of their own
are you referring to "UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory"? Their report came out 10 days ago. This has been referred to as a genocide far longer than that
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) is not a legal body, which would be the sort of body that is able to make a genocide determination. It also does not speak on behalf of the UN, given that it an independent commission of inquiry.
I am curious to see what the ICJ ruling in South Africa's case will be. That would be an actual legal body charged with making a genocide determination.
If you want to redefine genocide to mean "a very bad thing" then go ahead, but doing so would hollow out the term.
There's nothing stopping people from discussing the events in Gaza as a tragedy and a war crime, but activists are intent on attaching the word genocide to this. Referring to it as a genocide has become a litmus test to be considered pro-Palestinian.
If you're referring to the "International Association of Genocide Scholars" (IAGS), all it takes to join that organization is $30 and self identifying as a genocide scholar. Furthermore the resolution was passed with a total of 129 voting members, and about 107 voting in favor, out of over 500 total members.
Here's a letter from 514 verified scholars and legal experts calling on IAGS to retract their resolution, along with their rebuttal of the substance of the resolution:
The ICC did no such thing, you're probably thinking of the ICJ, which also did no such thing according to one of the judges that ruled on that decision:
“I’m glad I have a chance to address that because the court’s test for deciding whether to impose measures uses the idea of plausibility. But the test is the plausibility of the rights that are asserted by the applicant, in this case South Africa” she told the BBC show HARDtalk.
“The court decided that the Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had the right to present that claim in the court,” Donoghue said. “It then looked at the facts as well. But it did not decide—and this is something where I’m correcting what’s often said in the media—it didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible.”
“It did emphasize in the order that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide,” she added. “But the shorthand that often appears, which is that there’s a plausible case of genocide, isn’t what the court decided.”
Donoghue’s term on the bench expired a few days after the court delivered its initial ruling on Jan. 26.

There's nothing proven about the genocide libel. That BBC article is about an association (IAGS) where anyone with $30 can join, whether they are a scholar or not. Twitter/X had a fun time with that over the last week, signing up as genocide scholars under ridiculous names. Furthermore IAGS has around 500 members, and only 129 of them voted with 86% of those supporting the resolution.

“Genocide is the gravest offense known to humankind; to dilute its legal standards for ideological ends is a form of moral violence. It dishonors the memory of past victims, misleads the public about present atrocities, and obstructs efforts to avert future ones,” the Friday statement said.
I had a tough time even with PF. I got a basic config going for my network by copying stuff from the book of PF. When I tried to go beyond that things got frustrating. I think I was trying to set up a VPN which, I know this is a famously frustrating task, but I was hoping that PF would be somehow more legible or less opaque. There was nowhere to reference for the syntax and what it’s capable of.
I was hoping it was like a nice programming language whose internal structure made sense to an experienced developer. Where I can incrementally build things up and log things to the console as I go along and troubleshoot. But it turns out that setting up a vpn involves a big bang config with a dozen lines and it’s unclear which of them is broken.
It’s a DSL and not a programming language and often there is very little you can do to troubleshoot that’s short of reading the source code, the protocol spec, and firing up wireshark.
I found various configs on random websites or in the openbsd manual, but none seemed to do the trick. I gave up and installed Tailscale.
This isn’t a knock on PF. But years of reading glowing comments like this gave me some false hope that I could finally grok this stuff and maybe do some creative projects with it.
Seems like this should have been obvious to someone on the iOS team, no?
Like, "hey we need a way to trigger springboard UI events.." "ok let's just use this unauthenticated bus and have springboard subscribe to it"
Something like that? Only thing I can think of is that this line of code was written so long ago and it's way at the bottom of the abstraction stack, so no one had a look
How does one do that? As far as I can tell neither Claude or chatgpt web clients support this. Is there a third party tool that people are using?
