      This other topic got me thinking about all of the mods and modpacks that I've played over the years, some that have come and gone with versions of Minecraft past.

      So I'm curious:

      What are your favorite Minecraft mods?

      I'm not going to be too restrictive here. It's ok if they are for an older version and no longer supported. I'll even say that server plugins (like for spigot/paper/bukkit) and datapacks are fair game here. Client side? Server side? QoL? Terrain? Entire modpacks? Doesn't matter! Post 'em if you've got 'em. :)

      (Information about supported Minecraft version and direct links to the mod pages are appreciated.)

    2. What short standalone book is worth more than its page count?

      This will be the final topic in the series. (Sorry about the confusion!) This one is about short books that have more heft than you would think from their size alone. As before, there are no hard...

      This will be the final topic in the series. (Sorry about the confusion!)

      This one is about short books that have more heft than you would think from their size alone.

      As before, there are no hard requirements on what counts as “short.”

    4. For folks who use both Twitter and TruthSocial, I am curious, how is the experience difference?

      Since Musk took over Twitter and made it a "free speech" platform, something that has interested me is has that basically render TruthSocial obsolete or is there some niche that Trump is targeting...

      Since Musk took over Twitter and made it a "free speech" platform, something that has interested me is has that basically render TruthSocial obsolete or is there some niche that Trump is targeting with TruthSocial that Elon is not with Twitter?

      The biggest obv difference is just the reach with Twitter having more people than TruthSocial but with all the headlines I see about how people are leaving Twitter en-masse, I figure it's just a matter of time before it loses mainstream attention?

      But beyond the number of users, it is basically the same environment, albeit with different tech stacks?

    7. "Open" platform to post lyrics

      I started writing some lyrics and I like the idea of sharing them with whomever wants to use them. Personally, it's an extra motivator to know your writing might be useful for something.

      So, I'm looking for a platform where I can dump my ramblings basically xD. I mostly don't want a "free" platform funded by advertisements. Everything else (e.g. built on FOSS, federated) is a plus. Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good.

      Thanks =)
