The space robots are asking if I have stairs in my house.

@foo So, are you protected?

@foo I have to admit I was not aware of the history behind that "secret handshake", and neither of Lowtax' passing. Damn.

It's been a while since I logged on there.

I just cleared the first level of my first run of #2d6Dungeon 🥳

Having a lot of fun crawling the dungeon and drawing the map, and am starting to get creative (it IS a solo RPG after all!). After I found the third bucket I decided, enough is enough, returned to the Blacksmith I had found and turned one of them into a helmet. All that noise of course triggered a patrol of a guard and their guard dog, but thankfully I rolled well ^^

Really fun game, can recommend!

I just finished the third dungeon level in ! Level 3 turned out a bit labyrinthic, I even had to search for a secret door at one point.

Lots of angry ghosts, not much loot. Let's see what the next level brings.

As you see I'm getting a bit more brave with regards to adding details...

Level 4 of my current run has just been cleared!

I was lucky on my treasure rolls and got some nice armour and runes out of this level, so after a quick stop at the town my level 5 character can now hand out some ass whooping without taking too much damage.

Took the boss, some nasty Undead, down in 6 rounds with my trusty Great Axe.

Now on to Level 5, "Infernal" 😳

@phranck Gute Besserung, hab meine gerade hinter mir (hatte das ganze Wochenende Spaß damit, aber mit Augentropfen ging es zum Glück schnell aufwärts)

Well... fsck. An order of mine was marked as delivered yesterday. Looked in my mailbox. Not there. Then I got a suspicion. Used my phone camera to peek into the mailbox of my neighbours with a somewhat similar last name (we've had mixups in the past). And it looks like it's in there.

The problem?

Said neighbours moved out earlier this month. Trying to figure out if someone here still knows how to reach them. If not I'll have to get creative I fear... without getting the cops called on me.

How the hell did I miss the Aurora last night?

@ainmosni I'm in the same boat and am kicking myself right now 😅

@Doomed_Daniel @ainmosni Have already packed my camera (will not be at home this evening, but might have a better chance thanks to that - darker place 👍)

"To me, the latest is the latest my OS provides me. If maintainers dont care about pushing the latest into the OSes they support, it's not me to blame. I think curl maintainers should push Centos to provide the latest to all users. What's the purpose of you fixing multiple bugs and security holes if you dont spend time to make it available to the broader audience?"

We are obviously all just too lazy.

@bagder Some people... 🙄

While at it, we lazy maintainers should obviously also make sure that cold fusion finally gets invented, because we obviously don't care about our projects if we don't care about the future of humanity. Same thing with world peace, naturally. /s

I've been in a crafting mood for a few days now. One of the results of that were my recent adventures in book binding , the other was finally figuring out a good way to create custom playing cards for print'n'play games.

I stumbled across in one of my itch.io bundles and that was the trigger: Cards were printed one sided on a piece of 185gsm linen stock, sealed with fixative, folded and spray glued together, then cut. A bit thick but feel & shuffle great!

Then I decided that I needed a fitting version of the rules, so I created that. All 8 pages now are just on a long folded strip, both sides printed on.

I uploaded those to BGG too after getting a quick ok from the game author, but so far the file hasn't been published.

The rules folded out to pages 1 through 4

And finally, just now I finished a custom tuckbox matching the design, with the credits from the rules on the back as well.

Printed on heavy card stock and then cut, folded and glued together. Fits the cards plus the rules perfectly and now I'm enjoying playing this game even more 😊

I have it on my desk for quick work breaks (one play doesn't last longer than 10min), and it feels a bit like Nemesis Light 😅 I can recommend it if you are fine with sudden death 😬

As many people, I tend to struggle with , especially things that are sent to me by physical post.

Yesterday @excds pointed me to https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx, and I installed it and first impression is that it looks amazing.

I fed it a few scans of mail, and it OCRed it. So now I can:

  • Search my snailmail.
  • Copy and paste from snailmail.
  • Tag my snailmail.

Next up is to make my scanner automatically upload scans to a directory it monitors.

This is huge for me.

@excds @Doomed_Daniel @ainmosni Brother MFC-L8690CDW here, same thing. Have some shortcuts defined for scanning to paperless from the document feeder or the glass, so I just drop things in, press a button, done.

@foosel@chaos.social avatar

@excds @Doomed_Daniel @ainmosni It's just the truth ^^

I also have a Brother QL-820NWBc and a Brother p-touch D400 that I all love dearly ^^

foosel,
@foosel@chaos.social avatar

@Doomed_Daniel @excds @ainmosni I can only recommend it, have used it for both work and private projects since 2018 (actually I just printed a print'n'play card game over the weekend, some RPG rulebooks the one before that, and there are also various photos around my flat printed on it) and it's still working like on day 1 on the first toner fill. Though this thread reminded me to pick up some replacement toner cartridges as I have some more colorful projects coming up ^^

foosel,
@foosel@chaos.social avatar

@Doomed_Daniel I'm fine with it, for just putting up some memories it's totally fine. And I'm also happy with the regular colour prints. Since I switched to Linux and its drivers stuff got a bit darker, I haven't yet found the best settings again, but for me it's fine. YMMV
