Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.

Anno 1800

I've been eyeing the boardgame version which is also highly regarded. I guess will have to look into the original too. Always fun when hobbies intersect.

With Fez I feel I may have forever missed the window when I could have picked it up. It used to go on sale for $1.99 with an all time low of $0.99. Now it never gets under $4.99.

In a vacuum I'd probably just pick it up for 4.99 but knowing the pricing history I just can't do it.

The post would have been more interesting if you gave some details on what exactly broke, how you fixed it, relevant bugs etc.

I am on st as well. The externalpipe patch is the killer feature for me, it's so much more flexible than the usual URL open that's built into many other terminal emulators. xterm and urxvt had something similar too. Alacritty has an open issue for the feature.

I've done everything from local syslog to various open source and proprietary log pipelines and also worked on a team dedicated to building a custom log-processing pipeline from scratch in a large environment.

One lesson I've learned is that no matter how nice that web UI is I still want some kind of CLI access and the equivalent of being able to cat, tail and grep logs. In large environments it won't be actually tail-ing a logfile but I want something that can produce a live logstream for piping into Unix text (and JSON) processing tools.

You use Gentoo if you want control and transparency. It's great it if you are the kind of Linux user who wants things in a certain way and wants them to stay that way.

Do you want to use systemd or something else? Do you want to use pulseaudio, some other sound daemon or no sound daemon at all? X11 or Wayland? Emacs built with gtk, some other toolkit or no toolkit at all? Do you care if firefox is built with telemetry support?

If you have no opinion about this sort of stuff or your choices align well enough with a binary distribution then you are probably just as good using something else.
