  • Movie had it’s problems, but it’s still a phenomenal watch. The point of it is accurate, the man was on the spectrum, he had a hard time making friends, and then he invented what we know of as all of computing and then none of that mattered to the government because he was gay.

    Bendlidoodle Cuddlefish and Kiera Knightley both did phenomenally in their roles. I was very happy with it.



  • I remember that. Small town living is resentful of teenagers. Small kids are of course fine and adorable and cute - until they are teenagers. Then they don’t want to see you, they don’t want you to exist at all. You are in the adults and more likely, the elderly’s way.

    So they will police everything you do as a teenager in your small town, exactly like you said. I remember I was driving home (from the gas station ironically from above) and suddenly noticed headlights were following my car. My friends and I were spooked, so we pulled into a parking lot to stop and hopefully they’d drive by. Turns out it was a cop, because of course it was. We were “acting suspicious”. Which yes we fucking were because we had an unknown car following us at night. He “let us off with a warning”.

    I remember they built a brand new “youth center” for teenagers and kids to hang out at. Of course during the day it sat unused, so the old people started using it. Then the rules started coming in. Then we weren’t allowed to touch their things. Then you know it, they banned the kids altogether and it became a second community center, with teenagers not welcome. Took them a few years but they got it.

    Then they wonder why kids act out. They’re micromanaged, they’re not allowed anywhere, they’re told to shut up and not be seen. So kids loiter, they get bored, and that leads to petty crime because there is nothing to fucking do in a small town. And adults are just baffled at the concept.

    Here I am, 25 years later and I’m still livid at the “local leaders” of the small town. Their royal fiefdom in the middle of fucking nowhere, surrounded by cornfields. Got the hell out of there. May they rot there in their piercing agony of boredom.








  • 12,000 people?! My hometown was 15,000. Shocker, there is no crime except the random methhead. Nothing ever happens in towns like that! These are the most paranoid fucking cops, bored out of their minds wishing and hoping for someone to do anything so they can go beat the shit out of them.

    My town we would see all of their SUVs parked at the gas station, all idling, wasting money, fuel, and our sanity.

    What a collossal waste of funds. Everyone should be voted out. But I know how small towns work. Mayor is some uncle to some family dynasty who are big fish in small pond, and they will maintain their power.




  • So far it’s hit and miss, it is early RC code so I expected some bumps.

    I run in kubernetes, but any docker environment would work.

    • your data does need to be in a specific format, but it wasn’t horrible to figure out how. From GOG games you essentially extract the .exe files into <<volumeMount>>/<<gameName>>/<<version>> and then you do a dual import step. First you import the game, then you import the version. The game is just metadata, the version is essentially “Run this exe file”
    • I had to give it fairly hefty resources, 4 CPUs, this is so it has enough to shard out and extract files and pack them for distribution. I’d like to see this, and more developers in general, rely on using another container for jobs like this. In k8s it’s very easy to say “Start a one-off job and run to the end” and let the container orchestration handle it. It’s harder in docker compose, but I’d like to see a “This container runs the app, this other container runs heavy jobs”.
      • Essentially I’m disappointed that I always have to have 4 cores reserved for this when imports happen very rarely.
    • OIDC from the start is very nice. I hooked it in easily with Authentik.

    I’ll update this as I learn more. Haven’t gotten to the stage where I download and install yet.
