I’ve been on nixos for a year or so now. The learning curve is steep, but I feel it worth it for the reproducibility and config control.

I’m running nixos Linux on my server and laptop, so its doable. On my tablet ATM, but I’ll follow up with a DM when back at my keyboard

Yeah. I didn’t realize how easy it would be to set up and configure. The hardest part was find the client and then figuring out what file in the client to edit to point to my server.

Of course I’m an IT guy irl, so setting up servers and such is my day-to-day so that helped.

I setup a private WOW server at home and am enjoying a druid playthrough.

This is basically how I roll as well.

I did have cursor build an example fastapi project (which didn’t work at first) just to sort of give me a jump start on learning the framework.

I messed around with that, got it to work, learnes enough about how it works that I was then comfortable starting from scratch in a different project.

I kind of treat the local AI as a knowledge base. Short questions with examples. Mostly that just then lets me know what sort of stuff to look for in the real documentation, which is what actually solves my issues.

Nice!

I don’t have a need for it, but I’m happy it exists!

I usually go to tagger.scryfall.com and search a card I know works for what I want, then look at the tags that card has, then swap to scryfall proper and search for all the cards that are legal in whatever format I want that have the right tag, then start parsing down from there.

Scrfall is an amazing tool and still has lots of depths I have not plumbed yet

I would try scrfall: https://scryfall.com/search?q=art%3Aangel+t%3Aland+legal%3Astandard+&unique=art&as=grid&order=name

That is all the angel art tagged lands valid for standard. You can change the legal:blah to other formats

Piefed has a couple of different ways to populate a new server. Pulling lemmyverse data and subscribing to comms that way, or scanning a remote Lemmy/mbin/pieces server for comms. You can look at that code if you want inspiration.

Usually Lemmy/piefed does a pull of the most recent 50 posts when the follow first happens. Then new posts come in over time via federation.

If you’re not getting /any/ new posts it may be that the federation is not working. If some communities gets posts more than others then it’s probably a difference in activity levels in the communities.

Aside from the make-the-world-a-better-place stuff, I’ve always wanted to have the space/time to make my own holograms.

I have this idea for claymation+lasers+holograms to make little stop motion films, but as holograms.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but if like to play with the tech and find out

Riveting!

thats a good bet yeah.

Fair. I don’t do audio stuff so I’ll take your word for it.

Agreed. A Virtual Machine is also an option. That’s how I got started, running fedora vms on my windows laptop ten+ years ago.

the announcement says its effective as of june 30th, so i’d bet a release of arena is due out today or tomorrow that will have the change.

SwayzeMTG (https://youtube.com/@swayzemtg?si=wcoaC0Xga5EXp_Tn) is my current daily dose for interesting standard brews.

Also MTG_Creative_Combos (https://youtube.com/@mtg_creative_combos?si=2SlHou4u7lLfqjIB) and MTG Filipa (https://youtube.com/@mtgfilipa?si=rO6dDE-55me1rap9) are good channels.

Nixahon on YouTube put it like something like “even if I’m not into it for the IP or adverse to mixing in non-magic IP, I’m still going to have fun with the mechanics”. I’ve kind of used that as the touchstone for me to enjoy it.

Have not had a chance to play it yet (out of town), but that helped mollify some of my objections. Lots of the early access streams look like it will be a fun set mechanically so I’m looking forward to playing.
