Still figuring things out here. In the world, I mean.

  • I don’t know what the reception was at the time, but people seem to hate Stuntman, at least in retrospect. I loved it though. It’s a driving game in which you play the part of a movie stuntman, driving through a movie set as the director barks orders at you, telling you live how to drive the scene. It has a nice variety of movies, and the scenes are actually cool to drive and to watch.

    It tickles a part of my brain that loves repeating a task until I perfect it… and boy, you get to do a lot of repetition.

    The one thing I don’t like is that you suffer a PS2 load time with each failed attempt. We’re talking minutes between attempts. Loved it apart from that though.


  • Thanks for the clarification. By “persist across restarts,” I’m referring to the fact that if I just install the agent in my container, it won’t persist if I restart the container, unless I install it on a volume which seems clunky. Running the agent alongside in a separate container with network access is the solution I was looking for.

    On the Redis and Valkey restores, that makes sense. Disaster recovery is my use case anyway. Do you document the manual restore process for those? I didn’t notice it in a brief review of the docs, but I may have overlooked it.



  • This has been my experience with Matrix, and the message decryption problems are a dealbreaker. I hope the person who replied to you saying those have very recently been fixed is correct, but the fact that such a fundamental feature was broken for so long leaves me with little confidence in Matrix. I had this problem years ago on a Matrix community, then again maybe a year ago on a different community, and even more recently on my self-hosted instance. Don’t understand how you can push a chat platform that effectively doesn’t deliver ~1/12 messages to random users and let that issue hang around for years.

    XMPP looks really interesting as an alternative. Hope that development continued at a brisk pace.
