In the dotnet 8 announcement the brag is that a minimal web service will be 8.5 megs

Lol, wait till you see the specs

There’s something wonky about the css on the second site. There’s significant horizontal scrolling, but I can’t zoom out.

Sure. Just keep in mind that settlers aren’t random innocent civilians.

You can block a service from establishing outbound connections while allowing it to respond to inbound connections. It’s pretty common to do this because server software generally has no business calling out unprompted.

You don’t want the service to create arbitrary outbound connections, but you want your device to be able to communicate with the service.

It’s been a while since I’ve done network stuff, but it sounds like a pretty simple textbook problem.

A self-hosted service requires local network, not internet

You don’t have to audit code to ensure it doesn’t call home.

Ridiculous take.

There’s a vast difference between using a cloud service that definitely spies on you, and a self-hosted solution that you can ensure doesn’t.

They were sensory deprived to an extreme extent. It doesn’t matter that there are people around if you can’t see them, can’t hear them, can’t feel them. You’re severely downplaying the effect of that to make the box seem worse.

In the box, you can stimulate your hearing so you won’t get auditory hallucinations. You can also feel things and tap the side of the box, etc. I assume it’s dark, so you may get some visual hallucinations. I’m not sure how darkness affects that. It’s manageable, though.

Isolation is torture when it’s a very long or even indeterminate duration. Two days is a duration that most people can endure, as per the experiment. You know that going in and can prepare yourself mentally.

I’ve endured severe pain, I’ve endured panic attacks, and I’ve endured bad trips without time and a fractured reality. I don’t know what kind of life you’ve led, but my experience tells me that while two days in a box is absolutely going to be a miserable experience, it will quickly be forgotten.

Edit: And with a million bucks, I can pay for a good therapist, which I need regardless.

You’re just asserting things without evidence or reason.

Most people in voluntary isolation (with sensory deprivation too!) will quit after a couple of days. I don’t know what $20 a day amounts to in today’s money, but it ain’t a million.

I’ve tripped balls where the concept of time was torn asunder. Wasn’t a great time, but time still passed by, and my mind didn’t “break” or whatever it is people believe will happen.

You can’t actually experience a lifetime in those moments of eternity.

It can feel like an eternity in the moment, but it’s still just ten seconds.

A million dollars is only about 15 years of wages for me, and I’d still do it (assuming competence on part of the people making the offer).

It would definitely have been better, but I think part of the incompetence is in the design.

After playing Scarlet, I don’t even necessarily think it’s deliberate. The game is plagued by incompetence more than anything else.
