I think you could set up postfix to smtp forward to those services. So it could handle the oauth2 and you wouldn’t need to configure your client
I read Hard Drive by James Wallace and Jim Erickson a couple years ago. It was written between Windows 3.1 and 95. Super interesting to read Microsoft history from the perspective of that time period. I loved it.

A Shrek game being the first published game with deferred rendering is hilarious

SQS, Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, QPID, etc… any message broker that provides the competing consumer pattern. though I’ll say having managed many of these message brokers myself, it’s definitely better paying for a managed service. They’re a nightmare when you start running into problems.

How does this blocking work with TLS? Does the Chinese firewall MITM HTTPS somehow?

The guy that developed the technique works on Path of Exile. They’re using it for POE2, he gave an awesome talk about it here

Re:We Outsmarted CSGO Cheaters with IdentityLogger on Thursday October 17, 2024 @09:59AM (#41869755)
I’ve gotten a taste of that experience playing older multiplayer games that have a small player base. I much prefer it to games with millions of players where you’ll never see the people you play a match with again

I also love games with community ran servers for the same reason

I love it. I’ve switched a lot of my news consumption to RSS. This feels like another step in that direction that I’d love to try.
Man that’s a blast from the past

This sounds awesome can you share any details on how you got this to work?

There aren’t recommendations like youd see on the YouTube front page. There are “next video” recommendations like YouTube though

My dad played AD&D as a kid like you, and introduced it to us when we were young (like your kids). We got our cousins into it and we spent every summer adventuring. When 5e came out we tried it a couple times and really didn’t like it for the reasons you mentioned.

Coming back to D&D as an adult (coworkers play during lunch once a week) has been strange. The new style of play feels rigid. I can understand the standardization to try and create a uniform experience but it feels like a little of that AD&D magic is lost. Also I’m an adult now haha

You can find used 1080ti's for like $100 nowadays. I still use one for 1440p gaming and get excellent frames with most games. Kinda mind blowing value

My wife bought me a software defined radio kit for Christmas. I want to learn how to use it with a longer term goal of using it to pull down images from weather satellites like I’ve seen others do on YouTube
Re:Godot: A Collaboration with Google and the Forge on Friday December 15, 2023 @07:29PM (#38660567)
The Forge helped Bethesda out on Starfield’s rendering. I find this a little worrying considering how badly that game performs with mediocre graphics

There’s a big 3rd party server scene for the PS2 as well using alternate DNS servers. Pretty awesome to see people care enough about these old games to set stuff up like this
