    S1 was also a lot shorter than S2. IMHO 4 months is too short of a timeframe. Anecdotally I was thinking of contacting you yesterday to suggest kicking it off after 2025.

    I'm also in favour of things previously suggested:

    • keeping terralith and nullscape and adding incendium,
    • adding rail speed modification datapacks as previously suggested by creesch and a few more folks
    • an optional "graves" system (but I recall this was controversial)

    What I personally really want to see is:

    • some sort of data pack that allows me to place static, permanent particles (a la hypixel build battle) the same way I can place and tailor armour stands
    • being able to add custom entity models to items
    • some proper way to be able to get player heads without having my death count reach the thousands - because I will legitimately need many
    • a plugin that tells you whether a player is AFK

    That said, November sounds too early to me. It's only been, like, 3 months since the last season right now. I was expecting S3 would start at least a couple of months after that.

    Almost. Swapping your keyboard's language is often not Alt+Shift by default, and that gets pretty confusing for new users who have to use multiple alphabets.

    Cheapest I'm aware of personally is the offer that comes with hetzner's web hosting (<2€/mo. + VAT). But I haven't regularly used their mail server so I can't honestly comment on this.

    I'm always lowkey surprised to hear there's companies that still do BYOD. None of my clients or companies I've worked for allowed for that.

    WFH as well; I use my mobile hotspot instead. If that doesn't work either, then I just don't work.

    I was in fact in a similar dilemma last year.

    Yet, after an introspection, it turns out, I don't actually care about digital photography; if anything, I dislike it. There's a massive dump of 30000+ images spanning over 1 decade on my phone, containing anything from pictures I took, random stuff sent to me by my friends & my partner, and cute pictures of animals to screenshots, dank memes, and psychotic Taylor Swift edits. I would not be preserving high quality moments with high quality digital photos of <whatever> if I had a separate digital camera, simply due to the fact that I would - legitimately - almost certainly never ever even look at those pics again.

    As it turns out, for me, the right solution was to go with something that gives me a "physical reminder". Something that I can physically get on my hands, frame on my wall, or otherwise look at - regularly. For me, the right solution was to either get a proper analogue camera (again), or to at least get a cheap instant film camera. I ended up going with the latter option last year, but I'm seriously thinking of getting a proper analogue camera again in a few years time.

    That's surprising to me honestly. I have a few perfectly fine 10-day-old cucumbers from lidl in my kitchen right now and I've even had them hit 3 weeks (in a fridge) until even they started to go mushy, both in the case of storebought and in the case of homegrown.

    Still feels like a kind of made-up problem, if I'm being honest. I eat lots of cucumbers basically the entire year (a breakfast without cucumber is no breakfast at all, period) and, even the homegrown ones from my family's garden have lasted a lot more than googleman thinks they should. In fact, I've almost never had a bagged cucumber and I typically shop in bulk for the entire month, and yet I've almost never had a cucumber go bad anyway, or seen one going bad in a store.
