AirVPN still has port forwarding last i checked.

It had been so long since I created a profile i decided to go through the steps again. There is a button to choose anoter relay.

And here is a lis https://chatmail.at/relays

It looks like DeltaChat is a differemt email domain than Arcane. I am not sure if Delta has multiple or if it always the same one though. I do believ you can bring your own email. It just is nice that it does this in my case to onboard less tech savvy family and friends.

I use a fork of the DeltaChat client called ArcaneChat. I like it. It is easy to setup and to get others into a chat. You just provide a name on startup and it automatically creates an arcane email account for you. Moving it to a second device is as easy as using the app to pull up a QR code or getting a code it produces. Making chats with other people is similar. You can scan a QR code or send an invite link.

Also has plugins. I have a chat with an editor app so everyone in my household can add to the grocery list for instance. But there are plugins for games, rss feeds, and bridges to other platforms though I havent used these so im not sure how well they work.

My complaint and the others in my household is notifications. You might send or receive a message but wont get notified until an hour or two later. That said the very latest arcane chat does add a new setting that is supposed to help with that but i havent been on it lomg enough yet.

Also, to my knowledge you cannot lock the app itself like Signal can.

I am fairly certain you do not need to provide an email address. It creates one for you automatically. At least that is how ArcaneChat (a fork of DeltaChat) works.

ArcaneChat also supports multile profiles and it looks like thay feature has made its way into Delta now.

PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates) is a truly biodegradable plastic (ASTM D6691Marine Biodegradable). Some bacteria naturally make it. The stuff I have is very bendy/rubbery so its not really a PLA alternative plastic though if you need something stiff/hard.

Another plus is that it doesn’t need a heated bed so it uses less electricity to print with.

Plants can only consume so much.

It’s the thorn character

Bonus: In printing, the Y character was often used as a stand in instead of creating a dedicated thorn printing plate. So places named ‘Ye Old Shoppe’ the ‘Ye’ is actually ‘The’

To clarify things. Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are two different things. Visual Studio is a full blown IDE intended to be run on Windows. Visual Studio Code is a glorified text editor out of the box that has plugins that help with coding in other languages like C#. On Linux you will want VS Code.

That’s how it used to work, but modern GPUs pretty much auto-overclock based on their assigned power target. Undervolting traditionally would mean less power at the same clock. But modern GPUs would just see more power available in the budget to boost clocks further instead. At least in most cases. If you go extreme enough on the undervolting it may hit a point where it won’t boost clocks anymore and actually start reducing power consumption.

To my knowledge that only works for the 2021 version which is no longer sold. The newer 2024 version is locked down further and cannot have its bootloader unlocked.

Mull is no longer being maintained. IronFox seems to be the go to for mobile now and is what I use. I don’t use syncing so I can’t say for sure, but it does appear to have a sync setup in its settings.

I thought the same for the longest time. I blame playing tons of runescape as a kid.

I am an American so mold spelling is definitely what I ran into when referring to the fungus. Runescape is British English, so you used moulds all the time in crafting.

Vintage Story

I’ve always heard it described as Minecraft meets Primitive Technology. I would say that is quite accurate. Maybe some (optional) Don’t Starve like elements where you have to worry about the temporal rift (sort of like insanity) and drifters (largely at night).

Technology progression is much slower than Minecraft. Also much more involved. Want a stone axe? You have to place a stone on the ground and use another stone to knap it into shape first. Make an iron shovel? You have to heat up the ingot first and then beat it into shape on an anvil. If you are too slow and it cools down you have to heat it up again.

Farming has 3 nutrient groups, so fertilizers and crop rotation is important.

Leather making is a multi step process of soaking hides in various liquids.

It has a built in and very extensive guide/wiki. It also has a native Linux build.

I can’t check right now, but I’m pretty certain I’ve used MKVToolNix to remove unwanted audio files from an mp4 before. However, the result will always be remuxed to mkv.

I personally use C# via Visual Studio only so I don’t have too much experience outside of this, but I know Visual Studio Code has a C# extension and VSCodium should also work. If you are set on really not using as much of Microsoft’s products as possible, you will still have to use the dotnet sdk. From the terminal you would then call dotnet such as dotnet new, dotnet build, dotnet run, etc.
