A couple more things - myself and the mods can’t influence a live game in any way.

I joked several times about that, but I absolutely didn't believe it - it was just funny that every time you applied an update you pulled a key or two.

    It would’ve been neat to be able to see who used the reactions in chat. (Like, hovering over them I’d expected to see the names of people who selected it rather than just the count.)

    I was thinking that. However, mobile users have to click to get the hover effect, but that already toggles you using that reaction. I think hover + a separate button with a modal would work.

    I like it, and its scaling difficulty is smart.

    Cloudflare gives its 522 error, but I can load via IPv6 from the same city. I've also found the issue with Cf in front of servers I run on a different continent, so I've been able to do some good testing and have spent plenty of time looking into it. I haven't found any other Cloudflare locations with the problem, but there's plenty of them.

    Personally, my local Cloudflare seems to have some problem with IPv6 and some sites won't load. On my desktop I've set Firefox to use IPv4 for such sites, but on my phone I need to use mobile data (which doesn't support IPv6). I don't think it's a common problem, but you did ask.

    I don't think having a textual article auto-scrolled and voiced adds anything at all, and people who do want that can do it themselves, and have it set to their choice of accent, speed, etc.

    Video links tend to do worse than text links on Lemmy, so you'd probably have been better off all round just posting your original blog post.

    I enjoyed this article by Lars Wirzenius, who has known Linus Torvalds since the 80s.

    Thus, mine was the first PC where Linux was ever installed. While this was happening, I was taking a nap, and I recommend this method of installing Linux: napping, while Linus does the hard work.


    Alas, early Linux networking code was occasionally a little rough, having been written from scratch. At one point, Linux would send some broken packets that took down all of the Sun machines on the network. As it was difficult to get the Sun kernel fixed, Linux was banned from the university network until its bug was fixed. Not having Usenet access from one's desk is a great motivator.

     

    I think you fellow solvers will find this talk interesting. There's a few minutes of the usual who am I and what is AoC but there's some good stuff about growing pains, the puzzle design process and why he likes to throw in a hard puzzle in an early day.

    edit: bah, I see it was already posted - the Lemmy search doesn't seem to find it unless you limit the search to URL...

     

    I'm gutted to hear this - I'm a big fan of Crucial memory and SSDs and all of my systems have at least one thing from them.

    Micron will keep shipping Crucial products until the end of February 2026 and provide “continued warranty service and support.”

    So only a few month left, plus however long they stay on retailers' shelves.
