  • Fine, I’ll be the low bar.

    Proxmox, I just use the GUI to update

    I use community-scripts almost exclusively. Community-scripts cron lxc updater does the heavy lifting. pct enter [lxc]

    update

    does a bunch of work too.

    For Docker, I use a couple lxcs with Dockge on it, the “update” button takes me most of the rest of the way.

    Finally, I have a couple remote machines [diet-pi]. I haven’t figured out updating over tailscale yet, so I just go round semi frequently for the apt update && apt upgrade -y

    VMs get the apt update && apt upgrade -y too. I keep a bare bones mint VM as a virtual laptop, as I don’t have one. I’ll do what I need to do and if I had to install software I’ll just nuke the VM and go again from the bare bones template.





  • Where are you at now with it?

    I first read it as a teen and was fully “yeah, this is the way”, he was my favourite author at one time, terrifying looking back. As I read it more and more, and became more and more lefty, the shine has come off. Now I just see it as a fully open live letter to Authoritarianism.

    Nowadays when I read Heinlein I just see the… There was a video by Overly Sarcastic Productions where Red (the host) did a “Deep thoughts with Robert A Heinlein” where some of his nonsense is laid bare… I just see those now, I can’t read them.

    Here’s a Reddit thread where users highlight their favourite deep thoughts with Robert A Heinlein.











  • I don’t think Spec ops is spoilers to reveal you’re a bad guy, not in 2026: you play the US, in the Gulf. You play the US doing US imperialism, it doesn’t hide that from you. It’s just later in the game it confronts you with what that really means.

    Braid absolutely, but it’s 17yo at this point, any reasonable spoiler policy* has worn off. Meets the criteria, gets you all empathetic for the little shit, Tim, then makes you question it all. I think a first play through is impactful even knowing he’s a villain… It’s not that he’s a villain that is cool, it’s how you find out he’s a villain.

    *Except for Outer Wilds the spoiler policy on that is eternal.
