I really, really want something like this that is truly multiple platform and local. Linux and Windows are a must. Must be 100% offline so that it is useable without Internet. I'd gladly pay $60 per each major version per year. Add permissive open source license and you have me as a customer for life. Maybe I should just build it myself if others are interested?

I've been looking for just a tool like this since Rewind was first introduced. Count me very interested!

Been playing Kult: Divinity Lost since the pandemic and have never looked back. It's personal horror, similar to Call of Cthulhu and some World of Darkness titles, while being quite different from D&D, which always felt like roleplaying Excel spreadsheets to me. There's focus on flawed characters, improv and failing-forward. Requires really mature players and GM, and trust between them. Safety tools are front and center in the source material, due to the nature of personal horror and topics you may explore.

I just ordered the tarot deck! Excited to see how it plays with Kult's published tarot adventure.

For me the naive part is focussing on player options.

I understand that groups generally have one DM and 4 players, do if you include player options you might sell 5 books instead of one. But that's the shallow, cash-in-now-fuck-next-decade mentality.

Meanwhile they haven't put out a decent adventure in a decade. The internet is awash with people trying to glue their ramblings back into coherent campaigns and running D&D (always a huge time sink) is becoming a worse experience every year as they keep flooding the market with crap.

I love running games but I've come to the point where I'm not really interested in starting a D&D group anymore because of all the bullshit.

WOTC: support your DMs or die.

I've gotten a lot of value out of Dragons of Stormwreck Isle that came in the new D&D Starter Set. That said, I'm now using it as a base for jumping off into OSR (Old School Renaissance) modules after the OGL debacle and now this.

helm + go-templating in YAML is pure madness.

I've found k8s more manageable with straight manifests, or tooling to generate the manifests from some other source.

I do need to give jsonnet a hard look, as I hear it's less crazy than yaml+templates

tao_at_garden · 2 years ago
There's a number of solutions. One is to use a maintained Helm Library Chart that exposes all the values most could ever want like The Helmet [1]. The other is to move over to something like Timoni that is analogous to Helm but with better templating [2].

I like to develop with VS Code and devcontainers. I've never been able to get that setup to work with podman as the backend. Has anyone successfully done this or perhaps know of a blog detailing how to accomplish this that I haven't been able to find?
tao_at_garden · 2 years ago
Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work rootlessly (the default) if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you link it here?

I've worked around the features bug by just using `devbox generate devcontainer` then adding all my desired container apps and services inside a `devbox.json` file.

Thanks for sharing, I was unaware of dagger.io!

I'm curious now -- are there any other alternatives with similar philosophy/benefits?

tao_at_garden · 2 years ago
Yes, there's us over at https://garden.io! We're big believers in pipelines that run anywhere. I even made a short little video that should give you the gist. [1]

Some of the short-list of differences: we use YAML for our configuration language, Dagger can use full-fat languages to define its pipelines. Our feature scope is broader: you can use us to vend IDP-like stacks to your developers if you're a Platform Team; we make development with remote Kubernetes clusters very easy, including all the remote image builds; and we have a number of integrations so you can bring your IaC tool of choice (Pulumi, Terraform) into your pipeline and set up service -> infra dependencies.

Also this exists:

which is conveniently packaged in a GH-a-like system by:

And there's us, https://garden.io, that does totally portable CI pipelines with caching from builds to tests: https://github.com/garden-io/garden

I made an irreverent short on why your CI pipelines ought to be portable and runnable locally. Number one reason? Give your developers their time (and sanity) back. Pushing to Git in the inner loop disrupts flow and shatters attention.

I would not be surprised if the existing LP Pro support in Ardour 8 works with an older version, but they are fundamentally different devices.

I can check on it whenever I get started on the mini and X versions.

I definitely don't have the budget for a Mk3 but I can see a number of original Launchpad Pros and Mk2s for sale on local websites for not much money. Count me in as another person interested!

The git commit, push, wait loop is terrible UX. Users deserve portable pipelines that run anywhere, including their local machines. I understand Act [1] goes some way to solving this headache but it's by and large not a true representation.

There are many pipelines you can't run locally, because they're production, for example, but there's no reason why we can't capture these workflows to run them locally at less-critical stages of development. Garden offers portable pipelines and then adds caching across your entire web of dependencies. Some of our customers see 80% or higher reductions in run times plus devs get that immediate feedback on what tests are failing or passing without pushing to git first using our Garden Workflows.

We're OSS. [2]
