An Online Kids on Bikes Character Sheet - sh.itjust.works

Hi, all! Just reaching out to see if there are any Kids on Bikes players active in this community! I’ve been working on a tool to support play groups at my local games shop, and I thought – why not open it up to more people? It’s 100% free and open source (GLPv3), there are zero features stuck behind a paywall, ads, or other monetization and I intend to keep it that way. Full disclosure: there is a link to donate to the project, but it’s out of the way and will never be shoved in anyone’s face. I want to make the tool better for anyone and everyone who uses it, so if it interests you at all please check it out! It’s called Handlebar Heroes [https://handlebar-heroes.netlify.app/]. Feel free to make suggestions, ask questions, give strongly worded criticisms, whatever you like. I’m here for it all. 🙂 Thanks so much for your time! I hope someone gets some use out of it.

NixOS is weird... I love it

NixOS is weird... I love it - sh.itjust.works

Hello, everyone! I’m a long time Linux user who has warily stared at NixOS from the safe distance one might give to wild animals on a safari for quite some time now… And I finally decided, “fuck it, I’m gonna poke it with a stick.” I absolutely adore this system, even as strange a paradigm as it is coming from a decade of “traditional” management systems. I haven’t been this excited about a Linux distro since… Well, ever really. Maybe OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? I can’t recall. Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and preach to the choir for a second, so to speak. As someone totally new to this paradigm of system management, what are your #1 must read/watch resources you would recommend? I’ve perused through the NixOS Learn website over the last couple of days, and I’m itching for more. I can’t wait to see what all this system is capable of!

Taboo Question

Taboo Question - sh.itjust.works

I have a question about… Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It’s for my wife, though. Lol! She has a very old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I’m looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I’m looking into a MacBook of some sort. The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We’re talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.

Microsoft Edge, anyone?

Microsoft Edge, anyone? - sh.itjust.works

I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux [https://itsfoss.com/microsoft-edge-linux/] (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? - sh.itjust.works

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much smaller and more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well. It gets relegated to playing Fraggles Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software. What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

LF Advice: Antique Form Polteageist?

LF Advice: Antique Form Polteageist? - sh.itjust.works

For some Arceus-forsaken reason, I have set upon myself the task of catching all the various forms of Pokémon available in Paldea (except Vivillon, fuck that. 😅) and that means getting my hands on an Antique Form Sinistea. I’ve been hanging around Alfornada, catching every cuppa I cross paths with for… A while now. I have over three full boxes of Phony Sinistea. I realize now I could just check their little teacup booties for a sticker before bothering to catch them, so I can spend less money on repeat balls now. But is there anything I should know about hunting this thing down? Are there areas it’s more likely to spawn, or areas that it definitely won’t spawn at all? I assume you can’t breed Phony teacups to get an authentic Antique; will they show up in mass outbreaks? Is there any way to increase my odds of finding an Antique Sinistea? Do I just need to suck it up and keep grinding?

What's your favorite pokéball design?

What's your favorite pokéball design? - sh.itjust.works

Mine are the Hisuian balls, specifically the Hisuian ultra ball. I just love the design of the latch, and the color palette used for all the balls. I especially enjoy the little flourish on the yellow stripes of the ultra ball! What’s your favorite? Any particular reasons why?

What's your favorite Pokémon/Type Terastallization combo? - sh.itjust.works

Mine is Houndstone/Ghost. I know it doesn’t change the Pokémon’s typing at all, but the fact that the little ghost comes up out of its tombstone is just perfect.

Anybody else feel this way about Orthworm, or is it just me?

Anybody else feel this way about Orthworm, or is it just me? - sh.itjust.works

As soon as I saw the Orthworm Titan in Violet, this idea immediately came to mind and now it’s all I can think about whenever I see this Pokémon.
