Of those three? Carmack probably. Then a huge powergap, Sweeny, then another huge power gap before you finally get to Blow.

I'll always be preferential to Chris Sawyer for making Roller Coaster Tycoon. That or some indie dev that makes truly autistic games, like Tarn Adams on Dwarf Fortress, or any other game that's trying to be a full world with loads of detail.

Two things
1) the younger you are, the higher your ideological flexibility is. which makes sense, especially when you take into consideration the fact that younger people are exploring what it means to be themselves. this leads to a sort of ideological ambivalence wherein individuals sympathize with views that are often seen in opposition to each other.
2) the older you get, the more solidified your ideological beliefs become. you start out like a pendulum swinging back and forth and settle somewhere in between the two extremes.

plus, mutualism is more like an aspect of a broader ideology than an ideology by itself.
>>
>>107559091
This is all reasonably accurate, but also the older you get the more experience you've had, and the more observations you've made. This doesn't necessarily result in forming "better" or more "realistically accurate" ideologies/world views, because literally everyone is too retarded to do that, but it does mean you might have major relative SHIFTS in your own individual ones.

Younger also tends to think we/they know better than we/they actually do, without yet knowing what it's even actually like to have many decades of experience/observation. When I was in my 20s I certainly had no accurate pictures of what it would be like to be me pushing 60, including what all I would experience/observe over the course of that time, both internally and externally.

You'll always be RETARDED, period, but you'll be DIFFERENTLY RETARDED over the course of your life.

It is a word promoted by Apple to alieanate people from installing apps to their own device. To create a culture in which you don't own your device but the manufacturer does. Only installing with the appstore is legit. Otherwise you are a sideloading criminal pirate. Judging by how you seem to have fallen into their scheme, they seem to have succeeded.

Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

>how do I have my cake and eat it with the worst mini PC line (HP)
The Tiny/Mini/Micro PCs are overall trash for airflow inherently with HP being perhaps the worst. Your idea to heatsink to the 2.5" caddy is interesting, but I suspect it would get thermal soaked quite quickly without airflow anyway. Matching pad thickness to the caddy height would be also be hard and risky.
>M.2 heatsink?
You can't use NVMe heatsinks because there isn't enough clearance between the drive and the motherboard, let alone above to the caddy.

My suggestion would be this - unless you want to brave making a custom heatsink+mount and getting the Z axis perfect for mounting pressure, I would be looking into buying this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009890263603.html and somehow unfolding the fins into something like picrel. Then design a 3D printed chassis lid to mount a 140mm fan to blow over the whole board like this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/m720q-gehaeuse-mod-luefter.
>I don't have a 3D printer
JLC3DP
>how do I connect the fan?
The fan pin out is exactly the same as a standard PWM fan, just make sure you have the wiring order matched. You'll need a 4 pin JST SH1.0mm connector which you can then wire directly into a fan or to a standard 4 pin female connector.
Wiring as seen here - https://g3r4686.wixsite.com/multimodsg3r/post/prodesk-elitedesk-cooling-problem-mod-solution

i have been asking the same question for a very long time.

>anyway it works fine even without these settings, these are for the freaks who need to glean the last erg of performance out of highly tuned systems with loads of RAM to spare in them.
>>
This feels like a really basic thing but I don't think I've ever tried it before. I use little enough space on my primary SSD that I could just clone it onto my much smaller secondary SSD. Obviously I could do this as a backup kinda thing and clone back to my primary, but would I be able to boot off the secondary? It occurs to me that I've never tried something like that, and it could be an easier way to shuffle things around if I want to fuck around with Linux memes and dual boot shenanigans and still have a quick and easy reset.
>>
>>107558806
i have a better suggestion if you want to experiment with e.g., *nix that does not pollute the Windows EFI boot with the grub bootloader or whatever *nix bootloader your chosen distro uses. This is important, every once in a while an anon pops up that loaded *nix then got rid of it and ended up not knowing how to get rid of the *nix bootloader.

firstly, make sure you have a way to fully back up your OS drive to a storage medium outside your computer and make a backup.

then make sure your stuff on the second drive is also copied off somewhere so you can erase that one.

then you can temporarily disable (in BIOS if possible, or by removing or unplugging) your OS drive and install *nix to the second drive.

now, re-enable or re-install the original OS drive. In the BIOS, make sure its still in the same boot order as Windows gets confuse if you change the boot order.

done correctly this results in there being two completely separate UEFI bootloaders, and you can use whatever BIOS hotkey your motherboard has on bootup to select BIOS boot from either drive (the default boot would still be Windows). If and when you get tired of *nix you could simply erase the secondary drive and use it for Windows, or if you decide the *nix distribution is all you need you can erase the Windows drive, either way you never have to worry about the bootloader from either OS messing up the other one (and Windows does not care about *nix bootloaders, it will happily trash e.g. Grub if you you do a repair).

>sounds crazy but it /works/
>>
>>107558938
Oh that's a great idea, thank you. It's been a long time since I worked in break/fix style IT and that was enough to make me stop tinkering as a hobby. Didn't even occur to me that I could just turn them off in BIOS. I guess the one tricky thing is making sure that the backup would fit the cold storage SSD I'd use for it. I'll need to trim enough fat for it to fit on a 500 GB drive. Not impossible, but an effort. Probably well worth it for cheap insurance.

Trying to create a role-based/namespace-based permission system, to give really fine controls over who can see and do what on a web forum.

The idea is that every user has a list of roles, and each role has a set of permissions on a particular set of namespaces. For example:

default_user CAN read NAMESPACE general_discussion

then in my ORM, whatever namespaces they can read/write get added as a WHERE clause for any namespaceable object.

If a user gets banned, they get one role (default_user) removed, and another role (banned_user) added, which allows them to read posts but not write them. Some posts will be read-only, such as moderator announcements, but moderators will be able to reply to them, etc.
