I love keepass. I used to use bitwarden, but was annoyed they pay walled totp. I know you can use bitwarden_rs and self host it, but i had an instance where the container stopped and was sol and couldn’t ssh out to the host lol. I use rsync to sync my encrypted keepass to all devices. I use the free tier of pcloud, so probably not rsync, but maybe. I have two Linux hosts and my android. It all works seamlessly.

It is quite a large project to move from over ci/cd to another. I worked at EA for 13 years and we moved from Jenkins to another platform. (Jenkins suuuuucks. If you ever wonder what hell looks like, try to maintain a Jenkins instance with a shit ton of plugins, half of which are no longer maintained and you have to upgrade the instance…)

Motorola. I used to work at a place that had Motorola branded bat boxes. They are not the same. My roommates partner had a phone that was the MINIMUM amount of specs. We’re talking 32/32. I verified it because i couldn’t believe it. And the thing was riddled with ads. I put him on a custom launcher and my private dns, 33.84% of his phones queries have been blocked. What in the hell.

Reminds me of when I worked for EA on the development and release engineering team and we had to scrape all of our Jenkins and QuickBuild code base to remove references of “master” and “slave” and change it to “parent” and “child” or “primary” and “secondary”.

I just installed librewolf on my Linux laptop and you can customize how strict it is in the settings. There’s a librewolf setting group in the settings to adjust the fork customizations that they have made.

As an Ex BioWare and EA employee of 13 years, I can certainly tell you, Maxis and BioWare are separate studios with separate decisions. EA does own them but the decision is not related. I can say, however, EA sets the bar way too damn high. I’m just waiting for it to bite them in the ass. I feel like it’s already started.

I mean honestly, if you’re worried, I’d root the device and install a custom ROM that is privacy focused.

I wonder if they are complying with the Texas law of no unsolicited nude images? I, myself, uninstalled it, but if you’re curious, here’s the law

I believe this might fit your use. https://onedev.io/ it’s open source as per here: https://github.com/theonedev/onedev When I worked for BioWare for ten years (EA for 13) we used a very awesome product called QuickBuild (Build system, Jenkins is trash. QB is based on Hudson) made by them, pmease. Robin Shine is the dev and he’s really cool, very responsive. Check it out, they make good stuff.

This is perfect if you’re going the kanban route, which is arguably sufficient. It’s nice that they have different deployments and a demo.

I also love this game. It’s just fun to play.

I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I’m sure it will theirs.

I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.

As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it’s original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.

I indeed did. I started working on it as QA and left the project as a software engineer. It was a really fun experience.

edit: I have a lightsaber replica to show for it. Lol

I worked in Star Wars: The Old Republic for ten years. It’s still running and the story is really nice. EA sold it to Broadsword.

I don’t think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.

For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.

It’s a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.

If you’re that dumb, it’s natural selection at that point.

Yeah when I worked at BioWare we would do things gradually, then I moved to EA Mobile and staging and testing was like a foreign concept. It was wild. Fortunately that changed, but having a staging instance is really really important, as I’m sure many people now realize. Sometimes lessons are hard. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

For that, you actually will need realistic goals and more competent managers. Lol

When I started working at EA 14 years ago (I got laid off last year) they literally told us we might have to sleep under our desks. I promptly told them if that was the case, I would quit. Instead they made us work 7 days a week 9-9 for months. Fun job.

What you don’t want to go to “X”? I can’t imagine why. lol /s same though. Also I refuse to call it x. It’s fucking Twitter. It’s like that line in mean girls, “Gretchen, quit trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen!” Lol
