> and some tinkering needed for Diablo 4/Battle.net

Funnily this is the same thing I tried to do just last month, Installed CachyOS after not having Linux on my desktop for a very long time, tried installing Battle.net and just ran into too many issues and haven't come back yet (to be honest I didn't try too many avenues to fix it).

If you don't mind me asking what was the tinkering you had to do to make this work? Thanks!

If you opt to use import-maps I think you can get away without needing node these days, though then you're using import maps and have to deal with that can of worms.

I came to write exactly this comment, specifically I wanted to check what the pricing for forward geocoding was, as I've got a very significant monthly Google Maps bill for geocoding and if Radar gives results which are 95% as good as Google's at a cheaper price then I'd be jumping

Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir (top recommendation of the year)

Sanderson's Skyward Flight series (a few things came out this year, it's young-adult but thoughtfully enjoyable and easy to consume).

I read a few Asimov's this year I hadn't gotten around to, but the two that really stood out were 'The Gods Themselve's and 'The End of Eternity'.

(I primarily read to sci-fi/fantasy)

Affected Optus customer here (received email indicated I was impacted). They never had my passport details (there have been some links going around when logged in to see the payload of your PI involved in the breach) but they certainly have my name, address, phone number and drivers license number in the data.

Fortunately we're able (in South Australia) to get our drivers licenses changed over free of change if impacted, which I'll do but now that's something else I need to get around to doing... I wonder how many of these costs will be forwarded on to Optus on behalf of the goverment

I still have Ubiquiti wireless equipment but the rest of my network incorporates Mikrotik and I've been really enjoying using it the past few years.

Piggybacking on a reply to this comment, if you want to go an alternative (or additive) route of Usenet you can look to add NZBGet (or SABnzbd) with NZBHydra to manage Usenet downloading and indexer search respectively.

In respect to this my setup for this (on Docker) looks like: radarr, sonarr, nzbget and nzbhydra. I serve my media using Plex (there are a lot of great alternatives to Plex out there also but I'm still very happy with Plex even as a non-paid user).

House of Suns left me sad that it was a standalone novel, I was itching for more!

Was very worried when I checked through the 5x 3TB My Books I have to find that all the data was ok - which I thought was odd as they're very old models.

Turns out at the start of COVID I re-did my home networking and the gateway addresses on all the My Books were incorrect, so they haven't had internet connectivity for over a year... (quickly adds extra firewall rules to prevent them for bonus safety).

Something from Mikrotik, perhaps a hAP AC2? I'm a big fan of RouterOS for a home/prosumer use-case (I used a hEX myself)
