I've tried replacing them with a double hyphen instead, i.e. '--', since it has the same effect but is less likely to look like I'm a bot. It's a shame because I used to always write with them and a comma isn't a perfect substitution.

It's a four-way tie for me between Persona 5, BG3, Disco Elysium and Hades/Hades II. BG3 may just snatch it because of Raphael singing his own fight song, but there's a brilliantly soundtracked fight in Hades II which I don't want to spoil since it's still in early access that's really cool too.

This one was a fun coincidence because it came a week after it featured as a clue on Destination X, which is a show that feels like a poor copy of Jetlag. And the ending song...it might be the first one where Todd very emphatically states they didn't deserve any better.

Been doing some server maintenance the past few days because I've been neglecting them and everything has broken at once, so I may as well infodump on that.

The Raspberry Pi's fan got clogged up with dust and started screaming but with a new fan it is so silent now. It was averaging 57°C for the couple of days with no fan while I waited for the spare part to arrive, 52°C when the broken fan was still in use, and now down to a nice 47°C with a fresh one. My VPN on the pi stopped working as well, but it was easily fixed with PiVPN, and the arr stack on my mini PC stopped working entirely -- it seemed to be a networking issue with the containers under gluetun. But now everything's up and running again and with a bit more storage space from clearing off old docker volumes. Then I've got a pinetime watch coming this week to give me something to tinker with until the new Pebble starts shipping.

I've tried tailscale and cloudflare tunnels in the past and ended up just using PiVPN to set up a WireGuard VPN on my Pi5. Tailscale for some reason was very slow for me, and cloudflare tunnels have a 100mb limit iirc which isn't ideal for streaming. PiVPN is quite straightforward, it sets everything up for you and all you have to do is forward a UDP port. That was the bit I was most worried about, but, unless I've misunderstood something, because a UDP port will just ignore invalid requests to the outside world it will appear closed so it's not very risky. It then generates a key for each device which you can scan from a QR code onto your VPN client. I have my phone set to auto-connect to the tunnel when I disconnect from my home wifi network and the tunnel is fast enough that I've accidentally turned off my phone's wifi connection before and streamed a TV show through the tunnel over mobile data and not noticed any difference in speed.

They seem pretty good for not trapping too much heat, but we have quite cool summers here so what I would consider an unbearably hot day is probably different to most people. I could comfortably sleep in it under 24°C, anything above that and I can't sleep no matter what type of blanket I have anyway. There are cooling ones made of cotton that might work if you're in a hotter climate but they cost a fair bit more.

No problem, hope I've been able to help. Thanks for being so responsive as well

No luck with the reinstall unfortunately, but I'll leave it til the f-droid build. It may be something to do with Google play being disabled on my device, because if I install .12 from Aurora the app attempts to load posts and then gives an error saying "check that Google play is enabled on your device before opening the app."

I was swiping from the right side of the screen to the left to go back with Android's gesture navigation, but it's conflicting with Blorp's gestures so the accounts page comes up instead of going back to the all feed.

I love mine. Being able to play Baldur's Gate 3 on a handheld feels insane, never mind playing it multiplayer with a bunch of mods and it still running fairly smoothly. They've really improved the rendering for BG3 since the final patch came out. Emudeck has been great for reliving some childhood nostalgia as well.

Saying that, 90% of the time I'm using it as a balatro machine.

Ah that will be why - I've installed via f-droid and it's on v1.9.11. I tried .12 direct from github but posts aren't loading at all
