Qbittorrent let's you dynamically rename and move stuff based to tags. Status, and other stuff. You could get really in depth with the scripting too.

Ah yes, right out of the "we don't care, we're making tons of money" playbook.

Symphonic metal is a huge and diverse genre! Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Kamelot are good places to start.

I've sunk over a dozen hours into it so far. It's a really enjoyable game, however it is truly in early access stage and the developer has made no illusions about that. It's playable, and largely bug free, but there's not a lot of depth available since many of the features are still in progress. Up to the release of the game, it's been developed by 1 person and he's hiring some additional staff but that all takes time to see fruition.

The graphics are beautiful, and the game has a great atmosphere. I love watching the buildings being constructed. The mechanics in the game work well, but there's a lot of buildings, resources, and advanced stages that need tweaking/implementing.

If you like what you see in the videos, and are OK with an actual early access game, knowing that features and improvements will be coming slowly, then id suggest getting it now. Otherwise, wait for the official release.

"arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society."

Ahh yes, the injustice of the millennium. Abusive, asshole men can't keep their wives against their will...

Hello! I lurk too much, but I'll echo t3rmit3. This is a nice, quieter space. I check Beehaw daily but I don't find myself doomscrolling like I used to on reddit. It's just nice to pop in once a while, check if there's anything new, and get on with life.

That said, I should start posting some of my own findings!

I've been at my current job, which is a nonprofit in the social services industry for 10 years. I didn't intentionally choose this industry but j found I'm very comfortable here. It can be a stressful job at times, but what job isn't.

Theres no money in most non profits. However I've never hated my job the biggest downside aside from salary, I don't have the budget, tools, or resources to do what I'd like at times. I also tend to wear every hat in our small IT dept. A distinct difference I've found in the non profits I've worked for is company culture is so much better. Ymmv depending on the industry and size, but people who stick with the company are usually in it for the mission. This tends to weed out the "bad eggs".

I have a hard time stepping away from my job even tho j could easily make $50k more at a for profit company. I'm not sad about my choices even tho I'd certainly like to be paid more. I don't live to work though, and the job doesn't demand it of me so it makes for a decent work/life balance.

Most phoronix articles are pretty much straight to the point actually. I haven't regularly visited them in a while but they were a good source for open source news, and might still be.

I don't do much with bash since I primarily do windows admin, but I run into the same issue with powershell.

I have a document in VSCode that I store frequently used commands and any kind of notation/documentation I need to take advantage of it in the future. It's a lot of one or two liners for stuff I know I'm going to forget, like the once a month hyperv cluster update command 😂.

Similarly I've added functions to the powershell local and global profiles on my computer/group policy. (contextually similar to bashrc, bash_profile, that load when launching interactive or non interactive shells, as well as user context) That way i can easily execute repeptive commands without having to think!

Basically, I think we all have the same problem and we've forgotten more than we know lol

Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.

I saw them open for Devin Townsend and Dream Theater a month ago. Their set was phenomenal. I was so excited to see them live!

For everyone's sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.
