    Not at my computer right now for exact details but I used a unit file to mount my Nextcloud just using 'rclone mount' and rclone's config file.

    Isn't it wonderful we have so many ways of bending our OS and tools to fit the way we want to work.

    Good to know it can work with OneDrive too.

    Edit: you have 'rclone mount' as well. Didn't see that the first time I read your script lol

    I use rclone to mount my nextcloud as a remote file system. Can't abide systems that just yoink all the remote files down into a local file system.

    We do actually work with Ukranian refugees though, so this is not something I want to support. I'm more annoyed with myself as much as anything for not looking into this properly sooner.

    So perhaps I should have done more research , should have known, etc. But their recent news post took me by surprise:

    Your subscription money at work:

    Image search enhanced with Yandex

    They're just out there bragging about giving money to Yandex. This bothers me.

    As I said above, I should perhaps done more to research this before subbing, but that news post.

    Shame, as I quite liked the search, but it's back to DDG I guess.

    Am I over reacting here? What do others think?

    I can see a time past when modern large world expanding DLCs could be their own games. I think the DLC price vs base game price reflects the difference in scope, and all the quality is certainly there.

    That said, I don't personally think GOTY should be available to an expansion, but maybe I'm just some old fuddy duddy who remembers playing the original space invaders in arcades, and thinks these new fangled downloads should just get off my lawn.

    Make a DLCOTY category, or something, and compete for that, would be my vote

    I haven't played Erdtree so I don't know if it meets that criteria but I'm guessing it doesn't?

    It's pretty big. The latest season of Bingo Brawlers online tournament is taking place exclusively within the Erdtree DLC. I wouldn't say it's revolutionary with regard to the base game, but there are certainly entire games which have been released with less scope than this.

    I've stopped using anything on mobile that isn't on f-droid, or my actual bank.

    Last straw was when my guitar tuner app I'd been using for years wanted a subscription. A monthly subscription for a darned tuner app, and that was an app I'd paid for in the past too, so-called lifetime purchases licenses aren't worth shit in today's world.

    Maybe if any future console goes for ARM , that might push things along. Or maybe the gaming scene will just devolve into the thin client space.

    I also follow lazy dave's method, of using a bread maker to make my seitan. Again, too much faff for me otherwise. I just vary the flavour components to influence what I want to use it for

    I love cooking. I used to do much more of it than I do now, from stir fries to paellas, cakes, soups, broths and stews.

    I can't put my finger on when and why I stopped. I think it was largely when our Son was aged 5 and the cooking became simpler to cater for his tastes, and it never recovered from there.

    I only do Pizza Fridays now (tomorrow, yay). I do make the dough though, and the sauce, so it's pretty home made still. So if I have a current signature, that would be it.

    I really liked my pseudo not quite paella though. And home made pseudo duck wraps (home made marinaded seitan) with lots of scallions and hoisin sauce. But they are no longer made. :sadface:
