Took about 5h hours to finish and I had a blast! A good mix of puzzle, action and exploration. Very beautiful even if it's an old game. They also released a second game on steam like a month ago and it has very good reviews. Not tried it yet thought.
If you like builder type of games, you could give a try to Tethered.
If you like ping pong, Eleven table tennis is quite fun. You can also play in multiplayer.
There is a Room VR game "a dark matter". Heard good things about it.
I know you said Alyx is out, but man. I'm not very brave either and some sections were kind of scary, but it was all worth it. Best gaming experience of my life.
On the experience side of things, here are some that I have tried :
TheBlu : Always my go to for new players. Short but give a good sense of what VR can do.
Age of sail : A short film
Allumette : Another short film
Nefertari : Visit an tomb in Egypt
The Lab : Its a mix of mini games and exploration.Hope this helps and have fun with your new setup!

Not sure what can be done since we won't enter a direct war with Russia, and sanctions can only do so much. I would hope for Europe to stop buying fuel and gas but I know it would have dire consequences for them. I hate that so many people were not loved when they were young and grown up to be absolute giga supermassive assholes with no regard for human life.

You can construct buildings and at night there are monsters that come crawling and try to eat resources (and kill your peeps). The goal is to gather a given quantity of spirit energy to restore the island vitality. Each level is a different island with a different layout. It's fun enough for me to do the 13 levels again, since I gained experience I would do things a little bit differently.
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 when 1.5 released. Started playing it last week. Blow away by the story and the customization possible for the main character thus far. I'm at the start of Act 2. I know the game is controversial but I had no expectation whatsoever and man, I'm having a lot of fun right now.
Last week I also finished the exobiology expedition of No man's sky. I don't think that game needs a description anymore :)
Deep rock galactic, started playing again with my friends after a 2 weeks haitus where we played NMS.
Zelda BOTW, finished the 4 divine beast, and standing at 75 shrines. Still a long way to go.
That's about it. Good week fellow gamers !

It is a messed up situation, motivated by misplaced pride, greed and power. Much technological progress has been made in the last 100 years, but humans have not made much progress. There are too many people who believe that power comes from destruction and expansion while cooperation is a softer but stronger force in the long run.

I speak for myself but I always had a good time when doing it in a cabin in the woods (taking about 1g, 1.5g max per time), where you can just be yourself and ride the trip wherever it gets you. In the city I would not feel good. You usually don't want people to enter your "safe zone" so to speak. You want to appeal to your senses while high, so I would do activities in that vein. Music, drawing, painting, thinking/philosophy. When I think about it there was a time where it was very fun in an appartment, we had some lights of different colors (blue and green) and dish soap. We spent maybe 2 hours making bubbles in the dining room with our hands. It was insane. You don't need much while tripping to have fun. Just to feel (and be) safe.Good luck and have fun!
Edit : Also, it usually starts with a little tummy ache, so don't worry it's normal. And it may take some time before it starts, so don't ingest another 1g if you feel like the first intake does nothing.

cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
grep -Hrn 'example' *
Check the result(s) in prompt and then edit the file(s).
sudo nano the files, update the text and save the file with ctrl-x/ Y enter
if you still get the error after that, I would check if there is another directory which nginx may use.
Check in the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file for a include statement. Something like :include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
Hope this helps

It's trying to load a certificate on a path that maybe doesn't exists. replace "example" with your domain name in the conf file. If it's already been done, and you still gets this error, it means nginx is loading another file, possibly in the same directory, that contains the error.
I guess you already installed letsenscrypt and generated your ssl keys properly.

He played much more than me, at about 200 hours already.
In solo I finished Mass Effect Legendary Edition last friday. I played thoses games when they came out and to revisit them again for the first time in years was a really good experience. I missed this universe and the characters. Since all the dlc were included in that version of the game, some part of the games felt new to me. Took me about 90 hours and I do not regret it one bit. One of my favorite series of games ever.
About 3 weeks ago I started The legend of Zelda : Breath of the wild. I'm new to the nintendo switch (bought one for the kids for christmas, might as well buy a game for me :)) Combat is kind of difficult when you are not used to play with a controller in a 3D world, so I am having some difficulties. But the game is really good. Very open world... I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but it does not matter too much. Last time I played I was exploring and died when I received an arrow and lost 8 hearts in one shot... so I guess its to soon to explore that region. I'm excited to boot it up tonight.

I was about to type a response and I don't have to do it anymore, you cut the work out for me :)
Anyway, Red Bull is a ruthless work environment, unless you are a product of the youth program, you succeed or you die. The move is not really surprising. Before the season started it was common knowledge that the management had some doubts on De Vries. Even if Daniel is not as fast as he was he will give precious feedback to the engineers. Or so they think.
