  • Apparently we have all fragged each other at some time in the past because 14+ years ago I used to live on the AssaultCube servers, I was in competing clans and an admin on dozens of servers. Good times, I miss them.

    But AssaultCube was just the frag scene at that time, before that it was DoD and before that it was the granddaddy of them all Team Fortress, not the modern TF2, the original that was included on the Half-Life 1 CD, that community was huge and very family like, does anybody here remember the website/community TheVille?

    To answer OP’s question, your only luck for real live human players (not bots) and non-cheaters is to find a small community of die-hards as mentioned above. If they don’t let you in after proving to them your not a Llama then they are A-holes anyway and not worth your effort.


  • I love Bernie, he is one of my favorite politicians but thinking he would have won is fantasy just like Kamala was. Do you know why Obama won twice? because he has charisma, the “it” factor like a superstar. Something some people are born with, it’s like they vibrate with an energy that many people gravitate towards.

    Sadly and I hate to admit it, but Rump has “it”, I know it’s a shitty evil version but even some good people were blinded by it (although this has shown me there are a lot more stupid/evil people in this country than I imagined)

    Politics is mostly a popularity contest sadly instead of policy, they should really call it Poplitics. I believe there is one among us who will rise up sometime in the next four years with this gift to continue the never ending universal fight of good versus evil if we don’t all die in a Nuclear Armageddon or civil war by then.

    p.s. The DNC needs to burn to the ground and the ashes need to be vaporized.


  • Gave it a serious try for a solid week, I cannot get pass the forced vertical tab design. Everything else was great and it would have become my main browser otherwise.

    The sad thing is even if they added the option for horizontal tabs in the future I would not come back because of the inflexible forcefulness of the vertical design even after ton’s of requests from the community for a horizontal option makes me feel like the dev’s have a “my way or the highway” attitude that would bite me again in the future.



  • Started a couple years ago with a simple home network website using Flask to simply save/organize my notes.

    It has slowly grown into an entire eco-system that manages/records my entire life, from work to play and everything in between.

    • Music player that organizes huge collection of mp3’s, scraps the album cover artwork and lyrics, integrated converter (youtube,spotify etc.), playlist to stream/copy to any device, statistics on everything and dozens of other percs/tools/toys custom built.
    • Custom news, weather, sunset/sunrise, daylight savings reminders
    • Easy on the fly statistical analysis of anything with advanced and simple graphing
    • Easy on the fly AI, ML playground
    • Reminders, text messages for all upcoming rocket launches (scraped and rss feeds of course)
    • Manage my entire home automation setup/status/cams etc.
    • Dozens of music related applications for learning/practicing/recording/tracking etc.
    • Many, many more applications, just scratching the surface here but everything is automated, I don’t want to work it, just enjoy it.

    Sometimes I feel a little selfish for keeping all this to myself (my entire household uses it too) but I’ve been programming and building websites for decades and it’s nice to work on something that has no schedules or expectations and the cherry on top for me is zero worry about security or compatibility.
