I just finished Guild Wars: Prophecies. It took me 19.5 years.
I created my first character way back when the game was new, but I never finished the campaign. The upcoming Reforged update got me interested again. Together with a friend and 3 very friendly strangers we played through the remaining 3 missions.
From boss tactics to tounge-in-cheek comments about the dated cutscenes It was just the perfect MMO game night for me.

Abstract: Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are key components for precise timing measurements in high-energy physics experiments, including the High Luminosity upgrades of the current LHC detectors. Their performance is, however, limited by radiation induced degradation of the gain layer, primarily driven by acceptor removal. This study presents a systematic comparison of how the degradation evolves with different incident proton energies, using LGADs from Hamamatsu Photonics (HPK) and The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) irradiated with 18 MeV, 24 MeV, 400 MeV and 23 GeV protons and fluences up to 2.5x10^15 p/cm2. Electrical characterization is used to extract the acceptor removal coefficients for different proton energies, whereas IR TCT measurements offer complementary insight into the gain evolution in LGADs after irradiation. Across all devices, lower energy protons induce stronger gain layer degradation, confirming expectations. However, 400 MeV protons consistently appear less damaging than both lower and higher energy protons, an unexpected deviation from a monotonic energy trend. Conversion of proton fluences to 1 MeV neutron-equivalent fluences reduces but does not eliminate these differences, indicating that the standard Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) scaling does not fully account for the underlying defect formation mechanisms at different energies and requires revision when considering irradiation fields that contain a broader spectrum of particle types and energies.

Let's get this straight: it is entirely normal for a #OpenSource project to accumulate bug reports over time. They're not a thing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, if you see a nontrivial project with a very small number of bug reports, it usually means one of the following:
a. you've hit a malicious fake,
b. the project is very young and it doesn't have many users (so it's likely buggy),
c. the project is actively shoving issues under the carpet.
None of that is a good sign. You don't want to use that (except for b., if you're ready to be the beta tester).

Hi! I'm Koffietje! (Not very original, might change that later.)
Obviously, I'm a big fan of coffee! Generally black, over-steeped in a French press. But lately I've been messing around with the Moka pot.
I'm also big on Linux. My daily driver is Fedora, which seems to work incredibly well on my computers. I'm also curious about ARM & RISC-V, and have dipped my toes into BSD. Always trying to learn more, and currently I'm working on my Bash skills, tryi…
