@fthevenet my entry in this pantheon was a branching spreadsheet where I charted MinMaxing the first "quest" in Frontier: First Encounters: different approaches, timings, etc. I seem to have misplaced it
@fraggle ! I didn’t realise that’s what was going on. I’ve had “why does this textbook have mismatched brackets” on my question list for ages
@fraggle in fact I’m aching for a project that would need me to 3d print a PDP case. something Raspberry pi? Modular synth?
Do *any* of the 3D-model catalogues (printables.com etc) provide rss or atom feeds? #3dprinting
@fthevenet I’ve heard of similar craziness for Eve: Online. What is it about space games? :)
oh I forgot to mention, I'm following them via RSS/Atom. Most are supported by openrss.org (some aren't, more on my approach for those at a later date). I use a separate feed reader/collection of feeds to not drown out my regular feed reader.
Here’s some I’m following already:
- merveilles.town - creatives
- fosstodon.org - large-ish, FOSS focussed
- digipres.club - digital preservation, archiving
- chaos.social - not sure
- wandering.shop - sci-fi fantasy writers/fandom
- infosec.exchange - computer security (busy)
- nomanssky.social - No Man’s Sky (game) fandom/pics
- mastodon.gamedev.place - game developers
I've started watching the public feed of full Mastodon instances to get a feel for their community. Please recommend me some instances to follow!
Niche interests is fine; small is fine too (in fact, possibly better)

re: my version of this frustration
@fthevenet @noscript that's a really good idea, thanks!
my version of this frustration
my current pet hate (inspired by this) is
- follow link to stack overflow
- dismiss “login with google”
- dismiss cookie pop-up
- inexplicably scrolled to the bottom of the page
@fraggle one advantage of docker-style containers, even for overkill situations like “statically linked self contained Go program in a virtually empty rootfs” is I can use the same steps to manage them and update them as any other container. (I don’t use docker itself anymore tho)
@fraggle I’ve been toying with running some stuff inside systemd’s constraints instead of docker-style containers. Jury still out it. About to experiment with systemd-nspawn. Possibly the other hardening parameters, and access to my regular root fs, is sufficient tbh.
@mart_brooks in theory I could stream it to my mac from my pc upstairs I guess. In my convalescence (hopefully drawing to a close) I’ve got a MBP downstairs and I’m not very mobile so don’t spent much time upstairs in my office where the real machines are
@mart_brooks I honestly thought it would be the perfect game for me and I can’t really explain why it didn’t “click” and I didn’t try it more earlier. In more recent times I’ve enjoyed No Man’s Sky which imho is another spiritual successor to frontier at least (less on the technical/flight sim aspect than E:D)
