Open registration is a flag in your config file. Its normally not there by default. Plus half the mobile apps do not support account creation pages of you have the flag turned on.

Room settings are what controls view/join roles from federated instances.

Im pretty new to this space, so if your up for talking shop.

Explain!

Your correct, there is a big difference between wanting to be better at a game and wanting a job to put food in your face. A good guild leader/manager will recognize that and plan accordingly, but the methods they employ to gets people to do things is the same, to the point we had a catch-phrase for it.

In EvE you have four currencies, ISK (money), Time, Content, and Trust. You can buy 3 of them.

Ive had good guild leaders and terribad bosses, regardless of the motivation, people organizing is a skill and if you phrase it correctly, you can 100% put your guild leadership role on a resume.

Anyone who runs a guild, clan, corporation, or what ever your games group title is 100% has the skills to be a manager outside of cyberspace. If its a themepark MMO like wow, getting 10-25 nerds to clear their schedules to show up at the same time is a feat of organization, and your skills can be put to better use. If that group is a corporation in EvE Online, put that shit on your resume (I do). When I was at EvE Fanfest in 2023, there was a presentation on exactly this, a space game about cosplaying as a machiavellian space warlord turns out has a lot of overlap with being a manager in meat space.

Classic.

Is that a bad thing?

Dont get me wrong, I love the IP for League, but the I would never reccomend the game to anyone.

Plus the early adopters are not going to be lay-people, they are going to be tech enthusiests and people who know what they are shopping for. Having Meta and their data harvesting gadgets all over your home is something they would be very concious of, and in my case, avoid entirely for that reason.

The outcome, is dispite the lower cost to get a VR headset, a lot of people still havent entered the space yet, due to the security concerns and refusal to accept the data collection terms of more afordable devices.

We believe in you, there are other write-ups and guides on how to get it working. Its was great learning expirence for VMs and Proxmox (thats what I did and it did make it harder, but I feel more confident when im cosplaying as a sys-admin)

Guide

This one is pretty close to whats needed, but go into it expecting each step to open a new tool/application that needs to be researched before you press enter. Also look up how to set it to a PSQL db before you start inviting users, it defaults to SQLite and that will cause problems eventually.

Hell yah, TS3 crew all the way. (Or TS5 for the zoomers…)

My nerds herd recently also set up a cluster of Matrix Synapse servers so we got our little “We have Telegram at home” set up. Getting non-tech people to accept that this is how to find me has been tricky without sounding like a digital prepper.

Im agree, but my gripes stem from the timing of how and when they picked him up. Rolling a nat 1 on disquise in a golden arches hundreds of miles away with all the evidence makes me think one of two things. 1) he isnt the guy, the NYPD needed their pound of flesh and just made it all up or 2) they are sure its him, but are unwilling to explain to the press how they know because big brother shit.

In addition, with the mayor not shutting up about the investigation, that perp walk, and the media shrieking “oh no, he’s hot”, the is no way he is getting an unbiased jury in NYC. (I expect it to be the opposite, but thats the ACAB talking)

Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.

Trebuchets are just medieval siege artillery from the trebuch region of France, everything else are just sparkling catapults.

Last time they did a Goya ad on the resolute desk… I just dont know whats going on anymore…

IT work is feast or famine.

“IT people, your not doing anything, what the hell do we pay you for?”

“IT people, everything is on fire, what the hell do we pay you for?”

Looks like the CA Govinator race is going to be interesting this year.

(I do realize that Arnold doesn’t have the job anymore, but the title of Govinator is too good to not continue using)

We dont, but we will be watching for scabs that vote for it anyway.

Props for Koyaanisqatsi

I too like subjecting my neighbors to hours of Philip Glass albums.

Having read that book, you may technically be correct (Inferno is hillarious, Dante was a mad lad for writing that when he did) The big guy down stairs is munching on Judas (betrayed big J), Brutus and Cassius (betrayed Caesar, did we mention Dante was very Italian). Traitors of lesser degrees are frozen under the lake at the center of Dis.

It would be poetic for a modern telling of Inferno to include 47 there, given current events, he may even be lunch.

To your first point, there is a high likelyhood that the GOP will defund the programs the Dems want to keep anyway, or they will get DOGEd after the fact.

They can not expect promises to maintain social safety nets to be kept, so why bother trying to work with the right, let them get a taste of their own obstructionist excriment.

You would think after his last time in the news cycle I would stop reading his name as Michael Bolton… Apparently not…
