minor Deus Ex (2000) spoilers
Deus Ex is so good! I can rescue hostages without killing everyone, or kill everyone including the hostages, or ignore the hostages entirely and go to the next area. And none of those is a "game over" screen, the story keeps going and the characters acknowledge what you did.
The hostages don't magically know how many enemies are left either! They have to trust me to have cleared the way for them!

Recently found Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/), basically diy S3 that can run across a variety of hardware and without dedicated network backbone etc. Looks pretty cool, does anyone have any experience or thoughts with it?
Discovered Toshi recently, a full text search engine written in Rust, similar to elasticsearch. Haven't tried it yet but it looks pretty cool, the number of new cool projects in Rust is very impressive. https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi
