Insane Advice

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

Insane Advice

I'm in the process of putting together a real home server for the first time. In the past, I've used repurposed hardware, but this time I have a 4 port NAS on which I plan to install Debian.

I'm planning to run Docker so that I can run:

1) pi-hole for DNS based network-level ad-blocking and stop-shit-that-thinks-it-is-smart-from-calling-home (migrated from different hardware)
2) calibre-web for ebook management and sharing
3) immich for photo and video management
4) ssh, stfp, and rsync for general file storage
5) plex for media (though it may be a while before I do anything useful with this)

Are there any other (self-hosted) services I should look into, especially since I will have serious storage space for the first time

System Hack: Colony Sim Cortex Lists part 1

Its time to move from theory to practice. As we move on to the next stage of this System Hack, Im going to start taking the elements we discussed in the first set of articles and make them into actual game elements. For today, that means character creation. When we discussed characters for this System Hack, we landed on some pretty straightforward prime sets: Attributes, Skills, and Distinctions. As such, were going to lock in our Attributes and Skills. For Distinctions, the number Id want to write is perhaps a bit high to cover comprehensively in one article, but I am going to lock in what the three Distinctions each character has are, what they do mechanically, and how theyll be roughly categorized.
