Ready to explore Sylve!

The plan is to learn and play on the laptop, and then transfer to server.

I used to love that you could drop a folder on a text file in BBEdit, and then get a hierarchical view of files and folders in that folder.

Then I discovered the 'tree' command.

Still love BBEdit, though!

#bbedit #tree #cli

Did I say FreeBSD? I meant OpenBSD

#OpenBSD #DistroHopping

I'm curious on the 'verse's thoughts on #drugs and #tabletoprpgs?

Julia (1974)

One of those great Eurotrash Erotica movies from the 70s. Sylvia Kristal.

Seems appropiate.

#freebsd #xfce #koss #thinkpad

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon (5th gen) is back on FreeBSD 15, with X11 and Xfce4.

I tried using Plasma under Wayland for a while. Liked the modern look and the ability to zoom in and out with the touchpad (old eyes), but it seemed unresponsive now and then.

In the 80s and 90s, it was a rule that you must cast Barbra Crampton in your low budget horror film.

I have a domain at simply.com with a few services running on a server at home.

Previously I used Caddy with subdomains registered with my hosting provider's DNS panel, and ports 80 and 443 opened to the public internet. Anybody could access my services from the outside.

I've now changed to using WireGuard and a custom build of Caddy with a wildcard certificate for my domain. Pi-hole handles DNS for subdomains, e.g. cloud.example.com for Nextcloud.

I'm using podman system quadlets for Pi-hole and Caddy (both use privileged ports), and podman secrets for sensitive data.

In /etc/containers/systemd/caddy, I have 3 files:

Containerfile
--------------------
FROM docker.io/caddy:builder AS builder

RUN xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/simplydotcom

FROM docker.io/caddy:latest

COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy
--------------------

caddy.build
------------------
[Build]
ImageTag=localhost/caddy
SetWorkingDirectory=unit
------------------

ContainerName=caddy

Volume=/srv/containers/caddy/conf:/etc/caddy:Z
Volume=/srv/containers/caddy/data:/data:Z
PublishPort=443:443

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
-------------------------

The Caddyfile is stored in /srv/containers/caddy/conf/:

Caddyfile
---------------
*.example.com {
tls {
dns simplydotcom {env.SIMPLY_ACCOUNT_NAME} {env.SIMPLY_API_KEY}
}

@caddy host caddy.example.com
handle @caddy {
respond "Hello World!"
}
}
---------------

See Caddy documentation for more on wildcard certificates.

EDIT: changed TOKEN to KEY in Caddyfile

"Should I look up rules during the game or just wing it?"

Your players have never read the rules so how would they even know?

#GMadvice

"Is is ok to lie to my players?"

Yes. They deserve only deceit.

#finalgirl report:

Won my first game! I killed Hans the Butcher at Camp Happy Trials with Laurie. YAY!

Then, I was utterly tortured and killed by Razorface in the Hellscape with Christie. BOO!

Such a fun game. #tabletop

This took way more time than planned to get working: ESP32 Dev Kit microcontroller programmed from the command-line, using esptool and platformio running in a Python venv.

The Canary documentary is available on Youtube. I haven't seen it shared here, my apologies if I'm just late to the show.

"Witness the extraordinary life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, an explorer who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what is possible. Daring to seek Earth’s history contained in glaciers atop the tallest mountains in the world, Lonnie found himself on the frontlines of climate change—his life’s work evolving into a salvage mission to recover these priceless historical records before they disappear forever."

I'm using Bastille to run jails on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE.

Does it matter (to Bastille) if I use templates, or can I just manually apply the setup from a template's Bastillefile?

Bastillefile example:

https://github.com/BastilleBSD/templates/blob/main/databases/mariadb-server/Bastillefile

#freebsd #bastille #jails

Nextcloud 32 in a FreeBSD jail.

It seems that if you only provide mysql as a database, you need to use an autoconfig.php file, otherwise the install won't proceed.

My favorite #sportzball leagues are the NFL and the WNBA. No, I won’t be explaining this.

You people need to stop making great #tabletoprpgs because my wallet is suffering.

(This toot brought to you by the Outgunned Quick Start)

A lot of beginning GM's ask me for what my most important tip is when starting out with #tabletoprpgs.

I always say 'how dare you speak to me, nerd.'

Been trying to break out of my Game Master comfort zone lately by running some modern systems. (My comfort zone is supernatural mystery #CallofCthuhlu #GUMSHOE). The results have been mixed.

Ran the Sentinels Comics RPG and had a great time. Went even better than expected. Will run again.

Ran a couple of #PBtA. Middling results. I think I'd try again but maybe not for me.

Blades in the Dark. Just didn't click my GM style at all. Would play but not GM.
