    Quite a while ago I decided, for what reason I don’t know, to take Dwarf Fortress’s exported fully-populated world, translate it through a layer of LLM to obfuscate all the races to new fantasy races and create outlandish points of interest, and put the whole thing in a renderer that could dynamically move around and zoom to create a nicely rendered watercolor-style map for a massive explorable TTRPG type world.

    I gave up the idea when it was like 1% done but if you’d like to have any of the nonsense I created in case there’s something useful you can turn it into, you’re welcome to it. It’s in Python.

    Sounds like it’d work great. You might want to use something like DigitalOcean instead of your home machine, for a couple different reasons. DigitalOcean is cheap for this type of application (like on the order of, IDK, $5-10 a month or something).

    Also, fair warning, the current generation of Fediverse software is a pain in the ass to install, even before you get into issues of upgrading it, staying on top of security of the server, etc etc. But sure, it’s doable if you’re savvy and willing to invest some small time into it.

    TL;DR: “Doe 537” or whatever has been identified as some person you’ve never heard of, and it’s unclear whether that means they were guilty of anything. Also Bill Clinton is in there, although it’s also not clear if he was guilty. The only actual indication of wrongdoing by anyone in this fairly long article is here, which I will include with some level of sadness but without comment:

    Alan Dershowitz has sought to get numerous filings unsealed, arguing they would disprove Giuffre’s misconduct accusations against him as well (the two settled a large number of lawsuits and counter-lawsuits against each other and their lawyers in 2022, with Giuffre stating she “may have made a mistake” saying Epstein trafficked her to Dershowitz).

    I nominate “stating she ‘may have made a mistake’” as this year’s six Hemingway words that by themselves communicate the whole goddamned story from beginning to end.
