Snapcast on a RasPi will handle that great

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a great time killer. There’s a Lemmy community over at !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world

Manyverse might be good for that. It’s P2P social networking that syncs whenever you’ve got internet.

The entire suite of simple mobile apps is also really good, the Notes app in particular seems useful.

Organic Maps or OsmAnd will let you download maps offline and navigate with just GPS.

Aard 2 will let you browse an entire dump of Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

You should check out !worldnews@lemmy.world. Lot fewer tankies being useful idiots there. The magic of the fediverse 🪄

To my knowledge, Ada doesn’t have an equivalent to Rust’s borrow checker. I also think I covered that base by specifying “mainstream” 😀

One big reason Nim never really caught on is because we’ve got lots of fast-ish languages with garbage collection (like Go, which sucks a lot of oxygen away from Nim IMO). Rust introduced a new concept to the mainstream that lets you program safely without a runtime hit for garbage collection.

You might like Total Annihilation and its modern descendants, like BAR or Zero K. There’s still some micro depending on the variant, but the focus is much more heavily on macro, along with making the units smarter.

Apart from that, the Civ games are turn-based, but scratch a similar itch as RTS games

And yet countries, given free choice, came running to NATO. Curious 🤔

Trust is a broad term. If you’re paranoid, find the package you care about here, and read every line:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs

If you’re slightly less paranoid, check the git blame logs for anyone that’s touched a package you care about. If you trust all of them, then you’re good.

If you’re less paranoid than that, assume that someone reasonable is in charge of that repo. You’ll get warnings about insecure packages. I’ve had to Ok a few insecure packages in my configuration.nix, because I assume the packagers are reasonable people. I may yet find out I’ve made a mistake.

Broadly speaking, I think it’s the same model as any other distro. Debian for example has volunteers that package stuff. You can go through the same process above and decide how paranoid you want to be for that as well.
