I’ve noticed this trend in my life where during winter times my consumption goes way up and as soon as spring time is here then my creativity crawls back from hibernation and I quickly regain motivation to continue my side projects. I wish I could be 100% focus year round but for some reason it very hard to keep the inner flame of creativity going during winter times. At least I did noticed this pattern and being aware is the first step to remedy this problem.

In your situation I would give him an hour per day (10 minutes is a very short amount of time to do anything fun or see progress in most games) then monitor the outcome based on your previous baseline , does he ask for extra time when its time to call it quit, do you see a negative outcome on his grades, focus and desire to play outside or with other toys, etc. Then simply cut back if you see any downsides with 1 hour per day. You should definitely play with him during that time if you can, it is a great way to bond with your son and try to change the activity during the week, like play lego with him instead of gaming and see what will be his reaction when a video game is no longer involved.

Video games are always good in moderation and there are definitely some great games for kids, exploring with him when searching for a new game will teach you a lot about about why he’s drawn to such and such game and this way you may be able to find other hobbies outside of gaming which are related to his interests.

Yes, Mortal Online 2 is the closest thing to UO to this day.

I sync via dropbox and store my kbdx inside a VeraCrypt container.

Same here, many years ago I made a web app for our sales team and third party so they can sell/buy our products, the whole business is still powered by IBM iSeries. Basically the AS/400 is the source of truth and the web app just pulls the data couple times a day and provide a nice GUI for the users. The sales orders are automatically sent to the iSeries in batch so no more manual entries and their status are reflected back on the web app so you can have an overview of each orders. Sadly we are looking at moving away from iSeries and we will be at the mercy of whatever cloud solution that will meet our needs.

Yes lets end human civilization once and for all, what a great idea.

We are the ones who needs to be saved not the planet.

This kind of thinking is really scary.

There are MMOs like this but they come once or a twice every decade and fail miserably, full loot PVP MMO are built for a specific mindset of players and there comes a time where the “sheep” are all gone and only wolves remains. This situation creates a dwindling effect on the population and you end up playing with a few hundred players at best in a matter of a year.

In “recent” years I played Darkfall Online and Mortal Online which are very rooted in the early days of persistant virtual world ala UO but sadly they both failed to keep an healthy population.

Have you tried Mortal Online 2? the game just came out and is a true successor to UO in many ways, sadly they had massive problems scaling the game so they had to mirror the main persistent world and added 4 instances of the main world to cope with the demand. The vision is to have a one big persistent world with no instance/loading screen and keep adding more and more continents to spread out the population.

If you liked playing UO I recommend you check it out, its a unique gaming experience which may sadly go extinct in the future!

yes for iOS, I suggest you take a look at beorg, it is quite nice for quick editing and note taking. Of course the real magic truely happens when org is paired with Emacs but the app is quite useful for basic tasks.

Same, I encrypt my KeePass into VeraCrypt container and sync with dropbox, seems fairly secure to me for my use case.

Well a Nerves image is a Unix Kernel + Erlang/Elixir & BEAM and whatever else you need, so its a completely stripped down image. It uses the Whitelist model so you add what you need instead of removing what you don't need. This is both more secure and more performant since you don't have 100's of apps/services running in the background, you only run what you need.

You can control everything remotely with nerves-hub, push update, debug etc. Remember you only have to burn the image once, then its all update from here.

You can build a poncho application where everything is side-by-side, lets say you have your app-firmware (you build image from this), then you build separate app-ui, app-logic, app-whatever etc. and simply hard code the path as dependencies in app-firmware and each app has their own configuration.

Everything will be bundled into a single image and protects you from things leaking in from the sides rather than from above.
