Well, they’re far from the only ones having done that. For example, the cover for Dimmu Borgir’s ‘For all tid’ is an engraving by Gustave Doré, slightly tweaked, and in later re-releases also colorized.

But presumably KEN Mode paid for the usage, considering they credit the artist in the release notes.

There’s a Lua module for Nginx, and in particular OpenResty bundles those two. Lua is snappy as hell, especially in the LuaJIT variant, and uses very little memory — so when it’s paired with Nginx, one could probably run a performant web app on a toaster.

These days there are ten packages for every task.

Lua works smooth like butter with binary libraries written in C (since it’s made to be embeddable in C), but also it’s so fast that for many things people just do libraries in plain Lua.

That one apparently did well in rally, so I have trouble seeing it as a ‘hugging the ground’ supercar. Even though Porsches and Lambos also were in rally.

Lancia Stratos Zero was kinda similar.

“Skyrim is a game played on Nexus Mods, in which you try to assemble and run an optimal combination of mods.”

Also Assetto Corsa is all about mods, even the game’s menu is replaced with a third-party launcher. I mostly drive the same few cars, but I have about 150 GB of tracks. Most impressively, people added stuff that wasn’t in the engine originally: changing time of day, including night, and weather like rain. And it was done by one guy, with further improvements by others.

I remapped alt to ctrl as God intended, and ‘windows’ and the context-menu keys to alt. Coincidentally, the ctrl keys stopped working on my laptop for some reason, but if they worked, I’d map them to ‘super’ and put some obscure os-wide functions on there, like enabling/disabling Bluetooth. Or would just switch to English and my language with one press of a particular key.

I prefer the same PS layout, but some other people complain about the left stick not being under the ‘default’ thumb position, and thus like Xbox controllers more.

It’s the all-time great PS controller, except I can’t actually hold the bottom protrusions in my hands.

What’s not to like? Just don’t hold the controller with your hands like you would normally do!

Tineye apparently hasn’t been updated in years. Google’s image search, aka Lens, is often good for mainstream stuff like shots from films or tv shows, and I think for comics too (though it does often miss even marginal stuff).

Reminder that Gregory Coleman, the drummer on the ‘Amen Brother’ track, had died homeless. Which is part of why, while ‘socialists’ online pursue the pie in the sky, I’m gonna support copyright for creative industries at the basics, despite its flaws.

Reddit rolled out some wacky automatic moderation lately, that shadow-hides comments based on keywords, and optionally issues warnings to the users. Its severity depends on the particular subreddit. The beauty of it, of course, is that it doesn’t take any context into account, and in fact doesn’t involve a human until an appeal (if at that, even). Moreover, discussion of Reddit moderation itself may also be hidden.

You might’ve not been aware of it unless you’ve opened the threads in which you participated, in an incognito tab.

Well then check out my posts in [email protected], dangit! That community desperately needs some action.

I was a ‘top 1% contributor’ in a subreddit (which I only discovered when opening new Reddit in an incognito tab) and had many productive conversations, until the mods banned links to sites that I used, started requiring links to sites that are blocked in my country, and removed my comment over it. Quickest I ever quit a community.

The guy also doesn’t have the muscle mass to operate a dildo.

Are you two spending hours wistfully browsing the BD catalogue?

The constitution of some countries in the West includes the privacy of correspondence. Idk how many countries and how that privacy is interpreted in any particular cases.

IMO it should be argued, in the Europes, that this covers electronic correspondence too, and thus ChatControl and its ilk are unconstitutional.

Also Wiktionary imported the whole Webster dictionary from early 20th century sometime in the beginning of their operation, and apparently Webster was a fan of thoroughly describing each of the twenty meanings of a word. Which tradition continues in Wiktionary to this day — instead of giving three-word descriptions for two or three meanings tops, as other online dictionaries do.

My one complaint is that the thesaurus at Wiktionary is so-so, being exhaustive only for things like euphemisms, which naturally have many synonyms. In most cases, Thesaurus.com is a better resource.

I’ll break the mold by creating my own paradox, it’ll be known as SlurpingPus’ Non-self-referential Paradox.
