For those in the UK, the kit is also available through Pimoroni - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/the-three-fives-kit-a-dis...

Why is this post marked as being from 2017? Wasn't it released yesterday (20th according to https://n-o-d-e.net/rss/rss.xml)

Ah yes, you are right. Looks like it's scriptable as well. This looks pretty great then, especially having it baked into the installation image.

Some servers restart automatically as soon as it gets to the year 2050, so by figuring out how long a game usually lasts and when the current game started you can make a guess as to when the next one will start.

The servers run by the OpenTTD reddit even have an online status website with game logs (https://ttdredd.it/). I tended to play there as whenever a game started, there were always a half-dozen players online.

Are we sure this isn't an April fools? I like the idea of having a guided install in addition to the standard one, but it doesn't seem quite in the spirit of the Arch Way.

I've lost many hours to OpenTTD, so great to see more people might find out about it now it's on Steam. To anyone who has only played single-player, I would recommend trying out one of the many servers - the massive networks some players make can be crazy.

Yeah, it's great. I'm using a Moto G3 from 2015 that continues to get weekly updates (although still on 17.1 at the moment) and I have no complaints. Only app with any issues is Firefox for Mobile - sometimes a single webpage will use up all the RAM and crash repeatedly - so I've changed to the stock browser.

Reddit status [1] just updated to say they're investigating elevated error rates.

Computerphile has a video showing a nice visual explanation of this technique, albeit for inserting values into a linked list rather than deleting them.

Apologies, I've edited it now. I did consider this initially, but the guidelines ask that the original title is used, and I wasn't sure if this fell under misleading.

Because most of the routes have not been tested yet - all of them have been put together by volunteers during quarantine. And, from experience, even though they've been constructed from public footpaths, that's no guarantee of their quality. Paths can be fenced off by landowners, go through cattle fields or be outright missing.

Making all the routes available without at least a brief check could lead to less-experienced walkers getting lost or injured.
