Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against a hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself.
"The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief.
I am on chapter 907. According to the Royal Road page estimate, that's over 10,000 paperback book pages equivalent. It's a helluva ride, and the price can't be beat.
Vuxten appears around chapter 50, iirc. He's not the first to recur, but he is a fan favourite.
I tend to read it in bursts. I catch up about once every 3 months.
Is it just me or are system requirements by vendor applications getting out of hand? In the past 5 years I’ve watched the minimum specs go from 2vCPU or 4vCPU with 8GB or 16GB RAM now up to a minimum of 24vCPU’s and 84GB of RAM!...
What I've learned from this is that I need to write a VM for managing and provisioning ports on networking gear, since apparently the best solution currently existing is ...that.
What are you reading? (August 2023)
Hey Beehaw (and friends)! What’re you reading?...
