Since you have experience DMing games for different ages than yours (or I expect that's the case since you talk of birthdays and after school programs), what would be your advice to lead a game with kids that you think it's different from just a bunch of friends playing specially if they are old enough that no theme is out of bounds.

Like I mention in some other comment, I want to start a game and DM both my kids and my wife using the Adventure Time RPG books based on 5E. My biggest issue is that both kids are quite far apart in age, 4 and 8 and I'm inexperienced being a DM so handling both and making the game fun for all feels like a daunting experience. So as an extra question, have you ever been the DM of a game where players had meaningful difference in age?

Man this all is amazing. I have never DM'd but I want to start soonish. Long ago I grabbed the pathfinder book and the master guide to start some group locally, but that never actually happened (got kids, no time or energy left for much (: ).

Now kids are growing up and I would want to make a small game with them and my wife to teach them about RPGs. Waiting to get the adventure time RPG from kickstarter based on 5E to make the game with them. All your comments are amazing to read and prepare mentally :)

Me too, the problem is how many have to suffer him until that happens. And I dont mean just having to read his every damn comment.

Really? Ah wow, never thought it would be that hard... That's sarcasm by the way, since we are stating the obvious. Also you forgot to mention, one does nothing against FElon and the other ends FElon.

I anyway hate the idea of inciting violence (but sometimes you just need to get it out) and can't really wrap my head at how many people are in comments in Lemmy out for blood (well, I kind of understand, the situation is bleak to say the least, the issue is how many think violence is a good solution for real, there's a discussion for violent revolution, but violence alone is useless, but I digress), I'd rather he rots in a cell somewhere and all his money is taken away to do something useful with, he'd probably hate that much more than anything else. Same with Amazon Dickzos... Well that's lame, couldn't come up with a good name for him yet. Bezos anyway.

But anyway, if the first lady trump is still free and worse, in a position of power in the government, after all he has done (literal treason, rape, ...), I'm not holding my breath for the nazi asshole to get to prison.

Why so many people are cheerfully cheering for burning teslas owned by random people when it seems it would be easier to burn this fucking nazi asshole? Just get rid of the source of the problem...

Oh man absolutely this...

For me it was a bit before, must have been 2005 or 2006... Managing to get the drivers working for the graphics card and finally getting Compiz to work and get all the funky window effects... But the best one had to be the cube desktop. Having 4 virtual desktops and turning them around was always awesome.

Ah... Mikrotek sounds interesting, would love to support a small European company. They seem to have nice hardware...

Yeah, the other site x) since I removed my accounts is a pain to visit, if anything at some point I'll do some search on the laptop to browse more comfortably.

Thanks for that other link! I have some reading to do... Lots to learn. Networking was never my forte, but alas, can't trust any company and need to build things on my own... So be it.

Ah thanks! That's a great idea! I entirely forgot about the existence of openwrt, and anyway would have never thought that the google devices could accept it... I'm definitely going to try that and then slowly plan and learn about what I would need to start using the MoCA network and reduce the dependency on WiFi.

[–] yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Alright! Thank you so much for the detailed answer. This has led me in the right direction, I had an inkling that given the old installation in the house I might be able to use something more adequate than WiFi. Now I finally know how to call it, MoCA. So I am going to spend some time checking where can I get in the house the wired access using this MoCA stuff, try and set up a couple access points or like you say just one good one. I guess I have a lot to consider now :)

So I was checking the whole line of ubiquiti, when you said you don't think there's a lot of positive feedback on those products, where you referring only to the Amplifi one?

Again, thank you so much, I finally feel I got the key knowledge I was missing to go forward.

[–] yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Then not for me, I didn't mention in the post it would be for the EU market.

[–] yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

But when I do that I don't get WiFi everywhere in the house... And I made sure to stuff the RJ45 well and deep in the turkey.

 

Hi all, in the slow process of degoogling one of the key points for me would be to remove the pucks I have been using for a few years for the WiFi mesh network at home. I know of a few alternatives but not a single one that respects my privacy (not gonna get rid of google just to switch to amazon), that allows me control of the network locally without accessing some backend of some company or anything. I don't quite need access from outside the network if that makes it easier to find some option.

Any ideas? I'm also slowly building the blocks needed at home for self hosting a bunch of stuff, and those would need to have access to the outside network of course. Maybe that needs to be considered too?

I already have the hairy back, can I say I am half neanderthalensis? Better than homo sapiens seeing how things are going...

Me and my wife are considering adopting some parrots in the not so far future. My wife has never had birds as pets, but we visited a breeder/rescuer of exotic birds (the photo I'm sharing is with one of their birds that was all too happy to be on my shoulder) and she fell in love with their macaws. I've had some parakeets in the past (a long time ago) and always loved the idea of having a parrot, specifically an African grey, but never had the chance to give them a good place until now. So we are in the planning phase and how would we balance having both breeds.

If I'm understanding correctly greys and macaws can have some issues as the dust the greys create with their skin can affect somewhat the macaws so at the very least they'd need different cages. What are people's experiences about this kind of cohabitation between different breeds?

I'd also want to ask if there's any content creator that shares videos or info about their parrots and life with them that any of you enjoy, or maybe some of you. Unfortunately this Lemmy channel seems a bit lacking in interaction and content, so I'm creating this post with the hope it gives people a reason to post more and create some conversation. I do not have accounts in other social media so it is hard for me to go around searching for content, so if those content creators are somewhere that needs no accounts all the better.
