    Fine, I’ll be the low bar.

    Proxmox, I just use the GUI to update

    I use community-scripts almost exclusively. Community-scripts cron lxc updater does the heavy lifting. pct enter [lxc]

    update

    does a bunch of work too.

    For Docker, I use a couple lxcs with Dockge on it, the “update” button takes me most of the rest of the way.

    Finally, I have a couple remote machines [diet-pi]. I haven’t figured out updating over tailscale yet, so I just go round semi frequently for the apt update && apt upgrade -y

    VMs get the apt update && apt upgrade -y too. I keep a bare bones mint VM as a virtual laptop, as I don’t have one. I’ll do what I need to do and if I had to install software I’ll just nuke the VM and go again from the bare bones template.

    I don’t think Spec ops is spoilers to reveal you’re a bad guy, not in 2026: you play the US, in the Gulf. You play the US doing US imperialism, it doesn’t hide that from you. It’s just later in the game it confronts you with what that really means.

    Braid absolutely, but it’s 17yo at this point, any reasonable spoiler policy* has worn off. Meets the criteria, gets you all empathetic for the little shit, Tim, then makes you question it all. I think a first play through is impactful even knowing he’s a villain… It’s not that he’s a villain that is cool, it’s how you find out he’s a villain.

    *Except for Outer Wilds the spoiler policy on that is eternal.

    It depends what you want to do with the art. But an easy answer for me is: the author dies when the author dies. Buy things after they die. Before that: pirate, second hand (I’d reccomend second hand everything though, within limits).

    That’s not typically how I want my art though. Knowing what informed the art is interesting to see where it’s supported Vs contradicted in the piece.

    Two examples: knowing jk Rowling is bigot then reading HP, well how did we not see it sooner? The series becomes a lot more sinister knowing who wrote it.

    In contrast Ender’s game, how is that series written by that man?! It’s about love and the limits of love. It’s about life and the limits of life. Reading the series knowing the person who wrote it is baffling.

    In general, knowing the contexts of the piece is interesting to me. Like Saturn Devouring His Son, it was painted directly on the wall of Goya’s house… Why, who paints that directly on the wall of their house?! Wait, Black PaintingS? There’s more?! Not knowing the story of the Black paintings, it’s just an interesting interpretation of a greko-roman myth. But, what hat did Goya see in his past to see that? What did he see in the present to need to materialize it in his dining room? What did he fear for the future?! Fuck.
