Mayflower Gulch to Boston Mine is a favorite in Colorado, US. You do a decent incline on old forestry road up to a mining ghost town, and there are gorgeous views.

Sparrow_1029@programming.devto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon takes shots at Donkey Kong331·30 days agoIt was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can’t find that… wikipedia has
Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3D graphics
and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites
Rare invested their NES profit in Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Challenge workstations with Alias rendering software to render 3D models. It was a significant risk, as each workstation cost £80,000.
(sharing bc I thought that’s a crazy amount of money for 1992)
Sparrow_1029@programming.devto Trump Watch•Lawrence: What you're feeling is the banality of cruelty from Trump and the Republican Party5·1 month ago…So how exactly does this propaganda machine work? How can so many Americans have the truth of Trump’s failing mind and the blatant (and banal) evil of all the billionaires and politicians hidden from them? Or is their internet completely different? How can we pop these information bubbles? Why does this all have to fucking suck
I’m so sorry that you suffered through that. Thanks for creating this space ♥️
Great job! Quit 5+ years ago, though I’ve slipped and had a couple in that time. Not buying 'em was the biggest thing. Still want one whenever I see actors smoking in a movie or show… so the craving never quite goes all the way away.
I never realized how much it makes you smell until I stopped and could immediately smell it on anyone, no matter how hard they tried to hide it.
Definitely keep it, looks great!
Fkn love Kedgeree. Wife and I have a tradition on our anniversaries of making a fancy meal together, which is how I first tried this dish! Thanks for the recipe, will be cooking it next time we make it

I don’t remember exactly what’s in my old desktop that I converted (traveling and I still haven’t set up tailscale sadly), but it has
- 1 6TB WD red for storage
- some other number of drives also as lvs
- 32GB RAM
- an i5 (9th gen i think?)
- An Nvidia 750Ti (lol)
Then I’m only running
- sonarr
- radarr
- prowlarr
- flaresolverr
- homepage.dev
- qbittorrent
- jellyfin
as a docker compose project/system service on Debian server, and I have a Raspi4 running Kodi/OSMC with the jellyfin plugin for streaming to TV
This was an old desktop I had laying around that was a hackintosh when I was doing digital art professionally, and I figured I’d toy with converting it. One day I’d like to get to a full-fledged setup like yours, but need time and $$

I’m on programming.dev, and like it here! But also I have been thinking I would like to create a snowboarding community, ane it doesn’t really fit the vibe… so I’ll have to go do it on a separate instance probably.

Still wondering if and when is the right time to buy one. I may be in the market for a new personal laptop (non-gaming) first before I can consider getting a deck. C’est la vie
