Took me far too long to work how to get a plane to land, was drawing lines along the runway rather than dropping them on the coloured spot at the end and they were overflying. Was thinking the paths weren't straight enough, once I figured it out was quite funny to find the planes can do 180° turns mid air to land.

Question is, as long as he's not using their assets, what leg have they to stand on and enforce this? He's selling his software, not infringing on theirs.
On the money, had not spotted how much he was making from this. Given he's been at this for several years and the quality of the product I'm quite happy he's been able to devote the time to this.

Context: It's a paid mod but doesn't appear the guy was in it for profit, rather to support the time spent which covers multiple games.
The precedent here I find a little weak, a mod isn't facilitating piracy nor is it a replacement for the original product. You need to own the game, the mod is a layer that adds additional features.
When mapping the context to the real world it's more worrying, you don't get car makers suing accessory makers for selling phone mounts advertised to fit their vehicles.

Ah just assumed it was broken, found the dev tools 'hack'
Game is very much missing an intro

I switched to Zen a while ago and while for the 'main browser window' it's fantastic I often open multiple smaller windows (in a tiling VM) and hated having to manage collapsing the sidebar. It's done via a keyboard shortcut that seems to break half the time. Tried the new Firefox and I'm already switching back.

Caveat is very much expected, you should expect ZFS features to not rewrite blocks. Changes to settings only apply to new data for example.

I believe so but would like better details. We used to use another provider that depended on exact kernel versions whereas the falcon-sensor seems quite happy with kernel updates.

I see these tools as complimentary. Sometimes Sentry &al don't capture a user session (blocking, didn't consent &c) and this tool acts as a nice fallback you can instruct the user to use rather than having to explain how to open dev tools and screenshot the console.

For duplicate files I've used the following:
- https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes
- https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones
The latter works well for larger datasets, outputs a TXT which you can analyse and decide what to do with.

A NAS built from generic x86 hardware and some disks. Use ZFS, it's a bit of a rabbit hole but an excellent choice for both reliability/redundancy and as a tool to backup. I'm not gonna explain how this works, just describe what you can do, it's an option.
ZFS:
- ensures you don't get bit rot
- manages both disks (raid/mirrors &c) and the filesystem, it's an all-in-one solution
- supports block level replication to local and remote systems, after the first backup it's fast
- can create dynamic partitions to group files together and build replication strategies around
Choose either RAID or mirrored drives (https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/06/zfs-you-should-use-mirror-vdevs...) I've gone mirrored but more for flexibility and performance. Use a calculator to see what options of disks you have https://jro.io/capacity/ (and google 'ZFS calculator' for others)
For backup get a second machine somewhere else in your house with a smaller setup and use ZFS replication to keep it up to date with everything on the main box you need backed up. Currently I use a raspberry pi with a USB disk but this is perhaps cutting it fine. You wanna keep this online so ZFS can periodically check the health of the data on the disks. Fully offline backups can be a risk.
Finally for a 3rd backup use some of those external drives, format to ZFS and use replication. Plug them in on a schedule and take a backup.
If you want to backup to remote systems (cloud/a box in your parents house) it also supports filesystem encryption. With the right options you can stream incremental backups over SSH only passing encrypted blocks. The system at the other end never needs to see the raw data.

I find it depends on the number of subcommands and if those subcommands are clear. It's rather useful to have the options whittled down to just the ones you need if you know which subcommand you need but otherwise can be painful.
Grepping through a large list of options is also painful, seems ther needs to be a balance here.

Googled that, found the GitHub with a <h1> of
> DO NOT DOWNLOAD TRON FROM GITHUB, IT WILL NOT WORK!! YOU NEED THE ENTIRE PACKAGE FROM r/TronScript
I see later it mentions you can check some signed checksums but that doesn't inspire confidence. Very much epitomises the state of Windows tweaky utilities vs stuff you see on other platforms.

Spot on, Apple has done some fantastic work with these arm chips but we need the rest of the market to catch up so we have access to similar chips for other devices.
