I guess this might be relevant to #Telegram users. Or not.

I'm working on a #GURPS framework for #MapTool (https://rptools.net). So far I have the attributes sheet nearly sorted. It updates and affects the pop-over stat sheets.
Interactive rolls are next.
The next gen of WiFi is nearly here. With a 6Ghz channel we can now boil our eggs from across the room.

My printer has been mistaking the Letter setting as A4 for *years* now. Having a contract to send back for a prospective sub-contract lead me to investigate why.
I did not find my answer as to why all the GUI apps were sending the wrong option to CUPS.
What I did find was the `lp` command.
`lp -o media=Letter -d SOME_PRINTER <document>`
My page is formatted properly. Simplicity folks! 👏
STOP. TRAINING. ROBOTS.
Dear web developers and admins,
please stop embedding Google's hideous #ReCaptcha into your websites. Its algorithm is faulty, forcing regular users to click dozens or even hundreds of fire hydrants, bicycles, or traffic lights each day. It puts a 'suspicious activity' flag on users who won't obey to Google's business model - such as people who don't sign into Chrome, use anonymity VPNs, or use browser extensions to suppress common tracking mechanisms. Enough is enough. Stop it.
#GURPS done old school with the exception of my laptop + MapTool. Classic, simple and fun.
All of the players never played before and were provided simple, pre-made sheets for a one-shot adventure. It was a lot of fun!
Just a reminder to my tech friends here who may also be tabletop friends, I have a tabletop channel!
I've found more ways to share there as I'm exploring new tooling.
Find me there! @tratz
For all the hate the federated timeline gets, it's probably the most human. When you're there at the top, someone somewhere is reaching out to anyone anywhere and for a moment, that's you.
You might not understand them and you might not know what they're going through, but you hear them.
For a moment-- across space --you're united with a stranger in time. That's simply unfathomable.
Spread love.
