@codesections @annika I use gandi and like them reasonably well. They provide a nuclear "never let me reset my password" option which I find quite refreshing for organizations like these.

I feel like this blog would be just as funny even if they printed these designs with no commentary. But the commentary is great too.

@povoq Something I find fascinating about Discord is that it has set up a weird kind of proprietary decentralization. Instead of having de facto hubs for content, you have relatively smaller communities around streamers or individual games where the information is stratified and isolated even across people in the fandom.

I probably need to put a real deck together if I'm going to score any XP off this event. This [[cavalcade of calamity]] list has gotten me 400 so far but I'm sure something more consistent will emerge over the next week or so.

I think my biggest problem with the Sims is how there isn't really any challenge to getting the furniture you want: you just magically buy it and there it is as you're doing your interior design.

I guess it's actually more realistic than Animal Crossing, but much less satisfying: at least AC makes you wait for your package in the mail.

Finally figured out where all these mysterious Cat5 outlets in my house lead: an old AT&T box mounted outside.

I'm not sure what I find more surprising: that the service box actually supported multiple direct Cat5 connections instead of providing a router located in the home, or that the previous homeowner actually paid to run it all the way to their attic.

@freakazoid Yeah, "Hide everything from instance" actually forces everyone from that instance to unfollow you. They only recently added a warning about it to the "are you sure" popup.

every time i get worked up about passwords and authentication geekery i remember that software is hard to change and people even harder so i just stare longingly at my 2FA app and weep

idea: relax password requirements when they go over a certain length to allow multi-word passphrases but prevent hunter2.

Happy #MTG spoiler season! I just pushed an update to @mtgspoilers that will include a link back to the original source that previewed the card.

Woooo ELD precon brawl in Arena is quite fun! I wonder if there is any downside to replacing singleton going forward with brawl?

@hache Aha, it has been revealed. You can cast either the creature or the adventure portion from your hand. If you do the latter, the card gets exiled and you can cast the creature later whenever you like.

@hache I don't think it's been revealed yet. Some folks think you can cast the sorcery when the creature is on the battlefield, which would set it apart from other split cards.

Pretty cool take on split cards. #MTG
