I finally finished Siege of Dragonspear in my quest to get through all of Baldur's Gate.

I am shocked by how unpleasant it was to play through.

Only having BG1 to compare to - it's like night and day.

@bobjonkman @Sheril you will go loop up Ruby Soho and Poison right now.

and continue to Meh Greenday and the Pumpkins

I really need to stop assuming that most developers have a mental model of DNS delegation in their head.

I need to accept that I'm the weirdo here.

There are lots of great RPGs out there, many made by small press/indie designers and publishers, toiling away mostly in obscurity.

Share your favorite small press RPG and why you love it so much. Bonus points for links.

@laren @pare Yeah, it's wild.

I loved 3E but definitely hated it by its end, so that's probably my bias.

However, datacentres in Iceland are almost exclusively used for "AI" or crypto. You can't buy regular hosting in these centres for love or money. If you buy hosting in Iceland, odds are that the rack is in an office building in Reykjavík somewhere, not a data centre

And those data centres use more power than Icelandic households combined

But, instead, the plan is currently to destroy big parts of places like Þjórsárdalur valley, one of the most green and vibrant ecosystems in Iceland

Does anyone else listen to this sometimes? archive.org/details/cyber-fina…

It's such an important artifact

I am currently regularly dealing with Zscaler support and Drata support.

Drata support is awful because you need to get answers from an LLM before you can talk to it. But the LLM is worthless because it just puts out a segment from the knowledge base and you only contact support when things are broken.

Zscaler support is worthless because they're undertrained and given a flow chart to follow. The flow chart means they just parrot the knowledge base repeatedly.

Drata's support is better because there's only one human trapped in this hell.

@InternetEh I don't know

I know that I'm Canadian and so I can't get over 50Mbps where I live, and I abuse it hard but it's easily tolerable

@nuintari the problem was that neither group using 100.6.0.0/16 *owned* it. Both of them were using it for extra IPv4 space.

And I've been a ISP grunt, I know we want IPv4 to die, but there's some ISPs that have bonkers IPv4 stacks and massive CGNATs without a whisper of IPv6

Zscaler seeing a user has an IP in 100.0.0.0/8 tells me that wont work because that's a Zscaler internal IP.

Of course, the user's ISP is misusing CGNAT and also claiming IANA reserved IPs are theirs.

Abolish legacy IP
