<p>It's possible if you have wide or deep domain knowledge. Back in 2007 I made a Q&A website related to the open source FirebirdSQL database with around 350 articles in about one month. Although, those were very short and I had a huge archive from a mailing list with multiple years of questions and answers to source from.<p>10 months is a long time. You can write one article per day and do it easily.</p>

<p>Surprised nobody mentioned Fish Fillets 2, which is a top 3 puzzle game imho.<p>My list:<p><pre><code>    1. Antichamber
    2. Fish Fillets 2
    3. Baba is You
    4. Ittle Dew (esp. the Master Dungeon)
    5. An Architect's Adventure
    6. Cosmic Express
    7. Talos Principle
    8. Stephen's Sausage Roll
    9. Portal
    10. Cocoon
</code></pre>
Fish Fillets 2 looks simple, but it's one of the toughest puzzle games out there. Especially getting the stars on each level. I love it because the rules are simple, everything's there on one screen, but figuring it out requires a lot of out of the box thinking.</p>

<p>If the extension does something that isn't changing, like JSON Formatting, I guess it's best to disable updates right after you install it.<p>I just did this for all extensions I have in Firefox. Not sure about extensions like uBlock though? Doesn't it fetch new lists of sites to block or something like that? Or is that done separately from updates?</p>

<p>+1 from me.<p>Motorola has such great quality/price ratio and the user experience is decent. There's still some nagging and such but overall it's much better than the competition.<p>But I still can't get over my old iPhone 6. That phone size was just perfect. Easy to hold and do everything with one hand, easy to fit into any pocket.<p>I really want an Android like that. I don't need 3 cameras and bunch of other nonsense.</p>

<p>Funny that you picked == as an example when == is very counter intuitive in Java and is one of the common pitfalls for beginners:<p><pre><code>    String a = new String();
    String b = new String();
    a = "test";
    b = a + "";
    
    if (a == "test")
    {
        // true
    }

    if (b == "test")
    {
        // false
    }

    if (a == b)
    {
        // false
    }
        </code></pre>
Just like PHP, you have to read the docs to use it properly.</p>

<p>Only if you do it on the same computer. The restriction is still there if you try to, for example, run one game on your PC and another on Steam Deck.</p>

<p>> does Steam still disallow accounts from playing more than one independently owned game at a time without special procedures?<p>Yes. I just tried launching one game on Steam Deck and another one on my desktop and it showed a message:<p>> Error - Steam: You are logged in on another computer already playing Railbound. Launching Clutchtime™: Basketball Deckbuilder here will disconnect the other session from Steam.</p>

<p>Not really. It still has a library level lock. What Steam Families has enabled is to play games from each other's libraries at the same time. For example, if my account has a game A, and your has a game B, I can play the game B while you play the game A. This used to be disabled before.<p>You still cannot play a game C from my library while I play the game A from my own library.<p>The only way to be able to play any game you want would be to create a separate account for each game.</p>

<p>Same for Play Store. I have 2 games and I keep getting offers all the time. The last one offered $2000 for the developer account or a $100 monthly rent.<p>From their email pitch:<p>> We’re now offering from $500 to $2000 for a one-time purchase of a developer account that includes apps, or a rental deal starting from $100.<p>> No hidden conditions — quick process, secure agreement, and immediate payment upon verification.<p>> We’re simply looking for reliable accounts to publish our client apps quickly, and yours could be a perfect match.</p>

<p>VVVVVV is very simple game but exceptionally well made. Tight controls coupled with interesting level layouts made it both a puzzle to solve (how to do a section) and then required dexterity to execute it.<p>And music in this game is top tier.<p>I remember getting it in a bundle which I bought for some other game, and VVVVVV turned out to be my favorite.</p>

<p>I think they probably got a batch of these really cheap in the first place, because those servers were offered without the setup fee initially. It was during the soccer World Cup in Germany.</p>

<p>Do Hetzner servers even run IPMI?<p>For dedicated servers, you have to schedule KVM access in advance, so I assume they need to move some hardware and plug into to your server.<p>This would mean that IPMI is most likely not available or disabled.</p>
