While a really great game, it somehow didn’t do it for me.

poweroff replaces halt for how I was using it.
I finally took some time to look into why halt wasn’t powering off my computer. This was a very long-standing bug, and it was odd that something so obvious would go unfixed.

A remote desktop thing.
I didn’t really take notes on rdesktop itself, though I had significant exposure through some of my projects with it. See /tag/rdesktop. Apparently I didn’t note an rdesktop version.

check out SeamlessRDP mode. It does what I was using xpra for.

TODO – absorb World of Warcraft addon notes

Projects > World of Warcraft >
This has pretty much always been out of date, and I stopped playing a long time ago. Having said that, this is a useful rabbit hole for historical research and private servers.
You might want to see my list of “live” addons.

I still have more offline notes I have to clean up and upload..

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.
Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.
Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).

A woman, dying in a macabre soap opera, is filmed by a man with cybernetic eyes.
Great movie, but the main actor’s performance is absolutely horrible.

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.
- NOTE – It has been bought out by China.

Linux distributions + Gentoo >

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=sabayon
was sabayon.org
In early 2013, Ubuntu, Red Hat (Fedora), Arch Linux and anything GNOME-related fell from my grace due to fundamental technology (e.g. systemd) or political issues (being evil).
I’ve been looking at some other distributions, particularly Gentoo-derived distributions.. but not Gentoo itself, since it’s insane. Funtoo and Sabayon came up, and since Funtoo requires more free drive space than I have at the moment I checked out Sabayon.
2016-04-18 – Yeah, well.. since Gentoo now uses systemd, all it’s sub-distributions will be dragged into the pit with it.
