USB-C hubs and my slow descent into madness - Dennis Schubert in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wow, really? I guess that unfortunately makes sense. I have a dock for my work laptop that charges and works for HDMI/etc but it uses an entire two USB-C ports at once.

YSK alternatives to imgur for uploading your images in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Short answer is yes. Long answer is that with text it's much easier to stamp out illegal activity because keyword searches are cheap while semantic searches in images are pretty good but extremely computationally expensive. You can't just scan for illegal activity in images the same way you can nigh instantly scan a body of text for "illegal-site.com".

Post the link! This isn't Twitter where you get penalized for posting links.

YSK: If you're on Lemmy.World or Sh.itjust.works you should not subscribe to any Beehaw communities in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Beehaw instance has defederated from the Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works instances. Each instance is responsible for sending updates to other instances. Defederation means that no outgoing updates are sent and no incoming updates are honored.

self hosted group file sharing? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Upside: Easy as pie and can be used by anyone who has used Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive/whatever

Downside: everyone gets a copy of every file regardless. Good luck getting rid of old files. Could be fine, though.

Is this deck good for beginners? - UG Self Mill (Slogurk, the Overslime) (www.moxfield.com)

This is one of my first attempts to make a "precon" style deck with an obvious game plan and that especially that doesn't require prior knowledge to play.

I don't have nearly enough "play an additional land" effects but those are pretty price-gated anyway.

What do you think?

EDIT: The fetchlands are proxied.

What's your favorite alternate launcher? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Seconding Smart Launcher. Automatic categorization beats pretty much every other feature I can think of in a launcher.

I try to treat my devices as commitments as far as spending but disposable as far as usage habits and not having invent my own categories helps me just USE my phone instead of playing with it.

Commander quarterly update - no bans (mtgcommander.net)
ELI5: The rules of D&D in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Seconding the basic rules. You can get pretty much the entire vibe of the game from this. You can even create characters!

$50 for nothing. Cool.

I use Kavita because calibre-web doesn't have reading progress. It can be a bit weird about what metadata it picks up from scanning your library. I have a lot of problems with books having the wrong metadata until I manually rescan the library.

What's your new player on-ramp deck? (lemmy.world)
 

I mostly play Magic with people that I've taught the game and gotten hooked on it. Because of that I always keep the new player experience in mind when building decks and some of them are even built with that as a hard constraint.

These are the decks I keep that I give to newer or rustier players. They tend to have a bit everything or else commit hard to just the one theme where the theme is obvious.

Halana and Alena Counters - Make your commander big then they make something else big every turn.

Sloguurk Self-Mill - mill yourself, make your commander big, draw lands from the graveyard, play them.

Ramp City Svella - Ramp ramp ramp, cast fatties, profit.

What's your "base" stack of choice? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I forgot to mention I also have a samba share running on it and it's sooooooo sloooooow. I might need to reflash the thing just to cover my bases but it's unusable for large or many files.

I use SSH to manage docker compose. I'm just using a raspberry pi right now so I don't have room for much more than Syncthing and Dokuwiki.

we have "sub-lemmys" but what we are missing for lack of a better term is "dom-lemmys", hear me out in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Same here. I think people put undue meaning on the idea of having one single canonical correct place for a topic. Classic FOMO.

RG Ramp - Svella Brings Big Boys to the Yard - Commander (Svella, Ice Shaper) (www.moxfield.com)
 

I have long said that [[Svella]] is a "fixed" [[Golos]]. She essentially does the same thing by both ramping and drawing cards but doesn't give you five colors for no reason and serves as both an early and late game mana outlet.

It's a deck I often give to newer players because the gameplay is pretty well advertised by the commander.

What do you think of my deck?

What's your pet deck? (lemmy.world)
 

We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn't the best. For me that's [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It's not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It's a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.

Does anyone play Torgaar? Looking to improve my list (www.moxfield.com)
 

I like Torgaar as my Mono Black Stuff deck and am looking to trim the fat a bit. The Burglar Rat effects are up for cutting but I'm not sure what direction to go in.

Painful Quandary seems cool for when I set something to 20 with Torgaar?

Archive of EPUBs of all main story fiction from KTK-MOM. (www.reddit.com)
 

Cross posted from Reddit

https://i.imgur.com/elQSYKG.jpg

I finally did it. I went through the entire web fiction archive and turned it into EPUBs (except the NEO manga PDF).

330 "books", 2.24 GB

All stories have the proper metadata with title, author(s) and series (set/block/anthology) and include the proper cover image as shown on the MTG Story Archive here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story

Link

This is the link to the Google Drive containing the files. The anthologies and chapters are separated by folder so you can choose your preferred reading experience.

It was A LOT of work but made much easier using a variety of software tools to automate the most important steps.

Future

I know Reddit is...in flux so I figured now is as good a time as any to release a dump like this. I hope it's something people want.

In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this.

Enjoy!
