the gameplay isn't very deep but the presentation makes it interesting

honestly it's a pretty nice not-quite-top-down very-light-on-strategy game

okay, the lore is way stranger than I expected

I like that the passwords are in tic-tac-toe fields

then again, you play humans vs robots, commanded by the WOPR so who knows what they were going for

it's so funny to me that they made a WarGames tie-in game that's posing as the Protovision game that never existed in the movie

(it was negative)

I love when covid self-tests come with those cute little biohazard bags

one day I won't use in_array() when I need array_key_exists(), but today is not that day

I feel relatively well-rested so that's sth

getting a bad sleep score bc I was up for like three hours in the middle of it :(

It's important to note that since we only federate with a hand-picked list of instances (which is available on our about page), we get less traffic than the average instance with our user numbers. Also we might have a lot of registered accounts but only around 100 are active regularly.

It comes down to

• ~6€ a month for the server (a ssdnodes KVM (4 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, 320GB disk [way too much]), they basically always have a sale going on if you're willing to pay for three years in advance, the usually throw in free daily backups), we did a big upgrade during the last big influx because the old one wasn't enough
• 5$ a month for around 500 GB S3-compatible media storage on Wasabi (they've been unstable in the past but it's been years since we've had issues)
• <20$ a year for the domain name

it's still going god why is a Pi Zero so slow

what if you wanted to go to sleep early

but you started an apt upgrade on a slow machine in a ssh session without invoking tmux first
