Ok, understood. So if you're not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?

My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we're using mumble now, but they want "discord" and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.

In general, I'm trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have "normal" internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.

I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.

No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can't work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.

There's a lot of snark, but the idea is this only inhibits pain in the peripheries, so it isn't so psychoactively impacting. You don't get sedated, the addiction profile is way less, and the LD50 means OD'ing is much harder. I'm sure there's dependency potential, but it seems this is NOT recreational, which is huge, and if the sedation is less and you can take this and still function, it could be a game changer, allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force and have a better quality of life:

I use pinchflat to download media, then Jellyfin Youtube Metadata Plugin. It works very well, and it's let me block the youtube app for my kids but still give them specific content.

This is so amazing. Dropping creeper boats. Can you put a tnt minecart in a boat and make aerial bombardment? I know you can't ride a dangling boat...can you ride a dangling mule?

Can there be some form of exception, maybe prefixing the title with "Live Update:" and it affords some grace to changing titles?

Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

I read it as the latter, and it's so hype!

This panel is the coolest thing that's been in OPM yet.

Muse is the scariest villain we have seen in the MCU.

 

I'm fascinated by the youtube videos of "the spike" where circular waves can be used to create a pressure spike that asymptotes at the center, example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWKFPTgkpXo

In my mind, this makes sense for an essentially 2d scenario...but why can't it be expanded to 3d? Could you do this with gasses? Could you make some theoretical spherical chamber with, as an over-simplification, soccer-ball shaped pistons to create some asymptotically high pressure spike at the center? Could you modify parameters like piston extension distance, chamber radius, and temperature to create conditions to generate things like crystals found in the earth, like those industrial diamond making machines? Does creating asymptotically high pressures momentarily reduce the complexity of chambers needed to withstand those pressures, as the pressures near the outside would be much lower? Heck, could you create conditions wild enough at the center to bring things like fusion into range of ignition with supplemental lasers or something?

I want to play with this idea by throwing some numbers around and simulating, but this kind of thing is totally new to me and I wouldn't know where to start to explore this curiosity. Is there any place for someone to do some beginner physics simulating?
