This event server features a stripped down version of Rust that encourages Player versus Player combat in the above ground world and not Player versus NPC combat in the underground or at sea.

Who will be the Real Solo God of Earth?

Public Steam Profile Required!
If you want to hide who you are in this game this is not the server for you. Hopefully this discourages cheaters and those who just like to go around shouting the N word all the time.

This is a real money event. If you win I will pay you. PayPal is the easiest way to make this happen around the world.

Hope to see you there!

Cash for Coal Solo Only Event is in the final week of testing! 95% chance of being live next week! Search "Earth Solo Only" in game.

• PUBLIC STEAM PROFILES ONLY. If your Steam profile or game details are set to private you cannot join. Steam also has a separate "Always keep my total playtime private" checkbox under Game details. Untick it, or the server reads your Rust hours as zero and kicks you no matter how many you have.
• Your Steam account gets checked the first time you connect. It has to be at least 90 days old and have at least 100 hours in Rust.
• You get bounced once you hit connect. That is normal. That is the check running. It takes a couple of seconds and only happens once, ever.
• Wait a few seconds and hit connect again.
• You have to own Rust. Family shared copies are blocked.
• Accounts with a VAC ban, or more than one game ban, in the last year are blocked. Older bans are ignored on purpose.
• Steam trade banned accounts are blocked.

I have been working hard on this. No-lifer because of a disability, so I have the time.

No entry fee so there is nothing to lose.

I slowed progression way down so the event will actually last a whole week.

Happy Wipe Day!

Sometimes I look at an image and want to know what is happening behind the scenes. Anyone else do this?

Hello everyone! I made a new app for me, but you can use it too for free.

Size Matters is a tiny native macOS app that resizes a batch of photos in seconds. You drag your photos into the window and it makes smaller copies at the exact pixel size you choose. Your original photos are never touched or moved.

https://boxyourbuddy.com/apps/size-matters/

It is built for the exact problem of "I have huge photos and I need web-friendly versions." I was tired of opening each photo in an editor just to resize it. So I made a tool that lets you drop many photos into one window and they all come out resized. It keeps the aspect ratio automatically so nothing gets stretched. It remembers your folder, size, and settings next time you open it.

macOS 11 Big Sur or later

I make apps for myself and give them away for free. I refuse to "sign" my app and give apple $99 a year so it opens instantly. You will have to use terminal and paste one simple command to get it opened. Sorry not sorry.

Hello! I made a new app for anyone to use! Free, of course. Let me know what you think

Easy RSVP Book Reader is a free, native macOS speed reading app that flashes one word at a time, using a technique called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) with ORP, Optimal Recognition Point, alignment. Drop your EPUB files directly into the app for a smooth book reading experience that remembers your progress. Private, offline, no account required.

How RSVP Speed Reading Works

RSVP speed reading works by eliminating the back-and-forth eye movement that slows traditional reading down. Words appear one at a time in a fixed position, so your brain can process text faster with less effort.

Easy RSVP Book Reader also uses ORP, Optimal Recognition Point, which anchors each word at the exact character your eye naturally lands on first. The result is a reading experience that feels effortless and allows you to read at a speed you never thought you would.

Features:

Distraction-Free by Design

The interface disappears while you read. No toolbars, no sidebars, nothing competing for your attention. Just the words of the book in front of you.

Load Your Books

Drop an EPUB, PDF, or plain text file directly into the app. It will be saved to your library automatically. Start reading and your progress is remembered for each book so you always pick up exactly where you left off.

Reading Speed

Read at any speed from 60 to 600 words per minute (WPM). Use the left and right arrow keys to adjust WPM by 10. Press shift and the right or left arrow keys to fine tune by 1 WPM.

Smart Pauses

The app slows down naturally at commas, sentences, paragraph breaks, and chapter headings. Reading never feels robotic.

Controls

The spacebar plays, pauses, and restarts reading. W and S jump forward or back a chapter in the book. A jumps back 25 words and D forward 25 words. The progress bar appears on hover and can be dragged to any point in the book.

Customization

Choose your background color, text color, ORP highlight color, font, and font size. All settings are saved between sessions.

Private and Offline

Your books never leave your Mac. No account, no internet connection, no tracking. Free forever.

Like many others before me I am a Trakt user and have watched it grow over the years. With that growth came larger ads, more ads, and a pro subscription. I just wanted to be able to do little things like search my watch history or sort movies and TV shows by streaming service. Easy things to do, but they are locked away in a Pro Tier.

I also wanted to see more stats. I like stats. I wanted a way to look at my media history like a forensic database with the ability to track things like top actors I have watched in both movies and TV shows, or separately. That “Year in Review” Trakt has is a joke. All you need is a custom date filter on a stats page and you can create “Any Time Period in Review”, which I did. I also added the features below, it is only some of them. You can find the full list here: https://boxyourbuddy.com/tv-stats-tracker/tv-stats-features/

Some of the Features:

• Does most of what Trakt does plus much more for FREE.
• 100% native macOS means no cloud, no servers, no data exchange
• Manual export option to download .json file of your watch history so it can always be backed up to an external drive. Use Google Drive to backup.
• Find original programming by service
• Filter movies and TV shows with powerful, precise search tools
• See every actor's impact on your watch history
• All stats are sortable by movies, TV episodes, or both
• Movies watched by studio
• Episodes watched by network
• •our top 30 actors for any search period you choose
• Create multiple users for households with more than one watcher. Different watch histories for each user. No overlap or sharing
• Zoom any page to your preferred size and each page remembers your zoom level when returning
• Smart window sizing means the app remembers exactly where you left it on screen when re-opening app
• Import your full watch history from Trakt by file or with Trakt Sync
• If you like Trakt but want more stats, use your Trakt account normally and TV Stats will automatically sync your watch history with Trakt. Mark a movie watched in Trakt and it is marked watched in TV Stats. Now use TV Stats as a free alternative to view what you can’t in Trakt. No need to enter data more than once.

Again, there are many more features. Have a look for yourself then give it a try. It is free. Let me know what you think or if you find any bugs. I am sure there are still some there.

I built this app for myself to use. I use it every day now and seem to find new things I want to add. If there is something you would like to see in app head over to r/TVStats and let me know what it is.
