    Yup. I'm in Japan and for better or worse, LINE is the only way to communicate. No one uses SMS for anything besides maybe receiving 2FA codes.

    I've been down the mechanical watch hole. Along with creating a nice little collection of watches, I used to have a little amateur setup for dissembling and cleaning movements, built a couple of my own watches from parts, etc. Very fun and frustrating mechanical hobby.

    If you all think mechanical watches are cool, you should look up seiko's spring drive, a hybrid mechanical/quartz beast that is nuts.

    I run FreeNAS/TrueNAS on on my NAS box and then I have an old gigabyte brix (similar to a NUC) that runs Arch Linux because I like the distro even if it might not be the most appropriate server OS.

    If the home server is a little NUC, an OS geared toward storage like TrueNAS or Unraid doesn't really make sense. Similarly Pop!_OS is pretty desktop focused IIRC so not the best either. If you're new at this, Ubuntu Server is probably fine and good.

    We'll have to wait to see how this unfolds. I'm still excited for it, but really wanted a redo of The Answer as well since I think it's a good addition to the story with meh gameplay. Would've been nice to get a fix up on it.
