A free-to-play 2.5D action semi-rpg game. Get gear, assign your abilities, explore and kill. Procedurally-generated areas and special “maps” give end-game replayability.

While straightforward to get into, it becomes atonishingly complex and unashamedly hard. They are also committed to keeping the game “hardcore” and not stooping to the level of appeasing the filthy casuals who ruin other games. This includes not avoiding pay to win.

Its developers care about their game more than any other developer for any other game I’ve played or have even heard of. Other than the little things, the game gets major updates every three months. Major as in expansion-quality new stuff.

Their community participation is strong.

Probably the best mouse ever made, whose style has never been matched.

The fact that it has a unique style makes it unfortunate and impossible to replace.

A BitTorrent client.

I use this because it’s cross-platform, not just Windows and Linux, but also Linux/ARM, for my CubieTruck and Raspberry Pi.

Windows support is not officially released.

These are old notes from earlier short videos, which were removed and which I don’t have.

This will get updated if and when I re-watch the proper thing.

A small and very fast Media Player, it suports the widespread media files that Gstreamer do support. Christine allows you to search trough your media files and play them quickly. You can create playlists to keep your files organized, use a queue and organize radio stations.

Complete garbage when I tried it

This page is about ZFS-fuse, the ZFS attempt for Linux

(on Wikipedia)
https://web.archive.org/web/20121229103643/http://zfs-fuse.net/

ZFS is a filesystem.

I have abandoned this filesystem because it is about as closed as it can get without being officially closed. It’s hampered by awkward licensing and patents making it intentionally incompatible with the GPL.

Even if it was made to work perfectly, running under FUSE is sub-optimal.

It also seems horrifyingly complex to use. Seriously.

Its checksumming is important for The Chain of Trust.
