@semitones @futurebird there's a relatively recent genre of "survival" games where you're shipwrecked and have to bootstrap whatever you need to survive (gather some sticks and a rock to make an axe and start chopping down trees to make shelter, etc.). Maybe we'll get an ant queen survival sim someday.

@futurebird your ant queen cleaning her eggs has me wondering how a colony bootstraps itself -- how much work can/does the queen do before her workers can take over. I assume the queen doesn't typically clean eggs or dig tunnels herself. What about hunting, foraging, or fighting, whatever else an ant does...

@futurebird what is the first thing a queen does, dig a nest or start laying eggs?

@Larvitz I haven't tried it yet but you should be able to use systemd-creds to encrypt those secrets (I haven't used them in quadlets yet).

@futurebird there's no such thing as reality anymore. Anything goes. All vibes.
