[Announcement] Major Endgame Changes in Patch 0.3.1 for Path of Exile 2
As you know, the improvements to the endgame are a big focus of our next 0.4.0 content update for Path of Exile 2. However, we realised that it might be better to introduce some of the mechanical changes to the endgame sooner than that. Next week, we are planning to release Patch 0.3.1 with major changes and improvements to the endgame. Watch the video below!
Video: Path of Exile 2: Major Endgame Changes
The video covers the broad strokes of the changes coming to the Endgame in 0.3.1, but there are other changes and details that will be important. Below we are covering some of the additional changes included in this patch.
Alchemy Orbs
With the introduction of tiered currency in 0.3.0, Alchemy Orbs became less valuable and had fewer uses. To give them more function and to smooth out the process of crafting your Maps, Alchemy Orbs can now be used on magic items. This will upgrade the magic item into a rare with 4 new random modifiers.
Towers and Tablets
As your tablets are now directly applied to your Maps, this means that you can now apply the content you desire to every single Map you run (assuming you have the tablet supply). However, the ceiling for the amount of content you can apply to a single Map has been lowered. Overall this results in a more streamlined and consistent experience, but in order to not have the ceiling come down too far, we've buffed the modifiers on Tablets. Generally the modifiers are approximately two to three times as powerful. Here's a few examples:
- Collector's now has a value of 10% to 30% increased Rarity of Items found in your Maps (from 7% to 10%)
- Teeming now has a value of 25% to 70% increased Magic Monsters (from 15% to 25%)
- of Strongboxes now has a value of 50% to 100% increased chance for your Maps to contain Strongboxes (from 30% to 50%)
We have also added a few new modifiers:
- of the Devoted - Area contains an additional Shrine
- of the Antiquarian - Area contains an additional Strongbox
- Crystallised - Area contains an additional Essence
- Exiled - Area is inhabited by 1 additional Rogue Exile
- Azmeri's - Area contains 1 additional Azmeri Spirit
- Summoner's - Area contains an additional Summoning Circle
- of the Summoning - Area has 25 to 50% increased chance to contain a Summoning Circle
And here's some other pieces of information to know about Tablets:
- Unique tablets have their own individual number of uses
- When using Tablets in the reforging bench, the resultant item will have the sum of the input tablets as its remaining number of uses. However this value cannot exceed the original maximum value
- When in an inventory like your personal one or a stash, the number of uses remaining on each Tablet can be seen on the bottom right of its icon
- Existing Tablets that have been applied to your Atlas will remain and you will not lose any value due to these changes
Map Size
Some Maps took considerably longer than others to navigate or complete, so we've reduced the size of the following Maps:
- Augury
- Bastille
- Blooming Field
- Channel
- Epitaph
- Fortress
- Grimhaven
- Hidden Grotto
- Oasis
- Penitentiary
- Rupture
- Savannah
- Slick
- Vaal City
- Wetlands
Atlas Trees
As a result of changes such as every Map now containing a Boss, we've had to make some modifications to the Atlas Tree. For example, the Crystal Realm notable on the Map Boss Tree, which previously added an additional Essence to areas containing a Map Boss, now only applies to areas with Powerful Map Bosses. Note this results in effectively no change; it is the same amount of Essences before and after.
In general the Map Boss Tree applies to all Map Bosses, with only a select few notables now specifically applying to Maps with Powerful Map Bosses. For example, the Fit for a King notable applies to all Map Bosses.
Additionally you'll notice a number of other nodes changing throughout the core Atlas Tree to account for mechanical changes around Towers. We've tried to make sure these are kept approximately the same before and afterwards, so your Atlas Trees will remain the same.
Citadels
Citadels have had their spawn rate increased by 66%.
Other Improvements
Modifiers that cause the area to be covered in Chilled/Shocking/Ignited Ground now cause much less ground to be covered. At least 66% of the ground effects currently covering the ground will be removed, this value is higher on lower tier Waystones.
We have fixed a few problems where Map Boss difficulty was not applying to many multi-form Bosses, so a few of the Maps with Deadly Map Bosses will now be more difficult as a result. It was always pretty odd that the second and third phases of some of these Bosses had ten-times less life than the first phase, this was an unintentional mistake.
Alongside the changes mentioned above, the patch contains various improvements and fixes to a plethora of issues. All the details will be covered in the full patch notes, which we'll post as soon as we can. Stay tuned!

Hegseth abruptly summons top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia next week
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned the military’s top officers — hundreds of generals and admirals — to a base in northern Virginia for a sudden meeting next week, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The directive did not offer a reason for the gathering Tuesday of senior commanders of the one-star rank or higher and their top advisers at the Marine Corps base in Quantico. The people, who described the move as unusual, were not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive plans and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Pentagon’s top spokesman, Sean Parnell, confirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week.”
Across the military, there are 800 generals and admirals of all ranks. Many command thousands of service members and are stationed across the world in more than a dozen countries and time zones.
The meeting, first reported by The Washington Post, comes on the heels of several unusual and unexplained actions that Hegseth has taken involving military leaders.

Some questions about ssh and Overthewire:wargames
Hi there,
In my search to learn a bit more about Linux, i came across this website called "OverTheWire", which teaches basic and some advanced concepts over SSH. It seems like a fun and engaging way to learn.
However, as a bit of a paranoid beginner when it comes to Linux and networking, i find myself worrying about the potential dangers of connecting to an untrusted network.
So, my questions are:
- Does anyone have any experience with the website?
- In the hypothetical case that I open an SSH connection to a compromised network, could that expose me to attacks?
(Aside from obvious risks like downloading malicious files myself.) - Should I use a virtual machine (VM) for this?
I sincerely appreciate any responses. Thank you!
firejail if you are on linux). Just for ssh, a very lightweight vm would cut it.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians
Microsoft has terminated the Israeli military’s access to technology it used to operate a powerful surveillance system that collected millions of Palestinian civilian phone calls made each day in Gaza and the West Bank, the Guardian can reveal.
Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform, sources familiar with the situation said.
The decision to cut off Unit 8200’s ability to use some of its technology results directly from an investigation published by the Guardian last month. It revealed how Azure was being used to store and process the trove of Palestinian communications in a mass surveillance programme.
In a joint investigation with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, the Guardian revealed how Microsoft and Unit 8200 had worked together on a plan to move large volumes of sensitive intelligence material into Azure.
The project began after a meeting in 2021 between Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, and the unit’s then commander, Yossi Sariel.

How do you get used to small form factors?
I've spent years with a lovely huge IBM Model M.
Then I've moved to a TKL (no numpad) keyboard: no pain at all, except (sometimes) when in need for Windows Alt-numpad sequences for special characters.
Then I've moved to a 68 keys split keyboard! And I love it, since I (almost perfectly) customised it for my needs.
And I'm now thinking to go to a 42-keys split keyboard... (see Piantor Pro)
But it also took less than a month to see my (tiny, still) wrist pain disappear because of better hands positioning.

Hegseth abruptly summons hundreds of top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia next week
In May, Hegseth ordered that the military cut 20% of its four-star general officers, directed an additional 10% cut from all general and flag officers across the force, and told the National Guard to shed 20% of its top positions.
In February, Hegseth fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, and Gen. James Slife, the Air Force's second highest officer, without explanation. He also relieved the military's top lawyers.
Since then, Hegseth has fired other military leaders without saying why. Most recently it was a general who led a military intelligence agency whose initial assessment of U.S. damage to Iranian nuclear sites in American strikes angered President Donald Trump.

RPG: A Repository Planning Graph for Unified and Scalable Codebase Generation
TLDR: the paper introduces the use of a Repository Planning Graph to overcome the planning and consistency problems that have prevented LLMs from generating complete, complex software projects.The graph allows reliably generating codebases 3.9x larger at 36K lines of code with far more correct pass rate at 69.7% compared to mere 33.9% before. Replacing ambiguous natural language with a structured graph allows the LLM to plan and execute long-horizon tasks reliably and at scale.

Adding/removing "pinned statuses" to an actor
Mastodon has a concept called "featured statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.

It wasn't readily know how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info :smiley:
- The actor itself will issue an
Addactivity targeting the collection with the status inobject. - This activity is sent to all followers of the actor.
- No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers.
- A
Removeis sent when a pinned post is unpinned.
This is what the Add looks like:

If AI Was Really Used to Censor ‘Together’ in China, It Represents a Potentially Terrifying Future
But people in China certainly seem to think this is an example of AI. China Digital Times reports that it wasn’t just the same-sex image that was altered, but the distributor did also cut out some straight sex scenes from the film... As one user implies, the AI is a more sophisticated and “terrifying” form of censorship because smart viewers have figured out ways to get around obvious censorship or can tell the difference, but that’s much harder with AI. Here’s a smattering of some of the comments, sarcasm implied on the last one:...in the future, we won’t even be able to tell if we’re watching the original film or not.
...This is nauseating because it not only interferes with the integrity of the plot, it disrespects the sexual orientation of the actors....
...Awesome! Next, let’s use one-click AI to re-release “Brokeback Mountain,” “God’s Own Country,” “Lan Yu,” and “Happy Together” as “restored” hetero romances...

Oklahoma Threatens Public Schools' Accreditation Unless They Set Up Turning Point USA Chapters | Common Dreams
Ryan Walters, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, released a video address on Tuesday saying that “every Oklahoma high school will have a Turning Point USA chapter.”
“For far too long we have seen radical leftists with the teachers unions dominate classrooms and push woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in the video posted to social media.
The state-mandated chapters of “Club America,” Turning Point’s high school program, will ensure students “understand American greatness” while enabling them to “engage in civic dialogue and have that open discussion,” said Walters.

Best practises for URL linking in sidebar
Hi,
I moderate/curate a few communities on Piefed.world:
- !strategy_games@piefed.world
- !turnbasedstrategy@piefed.world
- !space_games@piefed.world
I have a sidebar with links to other gaming focused communities.
Currently, the sidebar includes links using the following format:
Text Description - [!]community_name@instance
What would be the best way to make "Text Description" a direct link. I don't want to use the direct/absolute URL links since it would be instance specific. Is there a way to make the "[!]community_name@instance" the URL linked to the Text Description?
I am looking to make the sidebar less verbose. Best option is something that offers transparent compatibility across Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin.
Would I use something like
[Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com)
I believe the format above doesn't work well (I could be wrong I asked about this more than a year ago).
Cheers
I am using the 2nd example format you're showing but with the url for my wiki I'm starting on c/PoliticalCartoons and it seems to be working well enough so far.
And, the tags tag was broken. Looks like word clouds were updated! TIL
The !strategy_games@piefed.world (no square brackets needed) notation should work on both lemmy and piefed. I am not sure about mbin. Last time I checked, this didn't work, but that was a while ago.
The markdown link notation [text](https://piefed.world/c/strategy_games) won't be instance-agnostic in the same way. I don't believe there is a way to link in an instance-agnostic way while changing the text of the link.
By instance-agnostic I mean that users on other instances will be taken to the community on their own instance rather than the home instance. As an example, you, as a piefed.social user, if you clicked on !anime@ani.social, then you are taken to that community, but on piefed.social. If a user on lemmy.world clicked that link, they would be taken to that community on lemmy.world.
Without that notation, if I just made a standard markdown-formatted link:
- anime@ani.social - written as
[anime@ani.social](https://ani.social/c/anime)
...then users of other instances would always just be taken to the ani.social instance instead of staying on their own.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn't work? A markdown URL link that refers not to a URL, but to markdown notation for threadiverse non-absolute links.
I am looking to make link where the text is "Strategy Games" but the link is not a URL, but a non-absolute link that sends you to the community via your own instance.
I am OK with the current format (e.g. used in !strategy_games@piefed.world), but I prefer a cleaner non-absolute link that works in a transparent manner.
So am I correct in understanding that the notation [Adventure Games](!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com) wouldn’t work?
Correct. The markdown syntax of [text](url) doesn't work in a way that keeps people on their own instances. Also, when the part in the () is not a fully qualified url, you can get unpredictable behavior and it might behave differently for different fediverse software. Testing it now, it looks like piefed falls back on assuming it is a pointing to a post(?) but ends up just 404'ing.
It is currently not possible to customize the text of links intended to keep people on their own instances. However, I actually think that the notation you are presenting here makes a lot of sense. It might not be fully compliant with the commonmark markdown spec, but the fediverse breaks that in its own ways plenty of other places. I have done a lot of the work on the piefed markdown_to_html translation, so I might see if this could sneak into a future release. No idea if there would be buy-in from lemmy/mbin though.
Thank you for the clarification.
I do think it does make sense to support this style outlined in context of the Threadiverse. On top of that, a fallback absolute URL would also be great, albeit this is outside my pay grade. 😀

Basket - Protocollo Biglietto Nominativo - Un abbonamento in due per la Fortitudo.
Con la stagione 2025/2026 è entrato in vigore il famigerato Protocollo, molto contestato dalle frange più calde dei tifosi, sull'obbligo di biglietti nominativi. La motivazione, o scusa per alcuni, è di poter verificare che eventuali soggetti colpiti da Daspo o potenzialmente "problematici" vengano esclusi dal poter accedere alle partite.
Oggi scopro che la Fortitudo Bologna consente di cedere la possibilità di assistere a una partita, a ogni abbonato.
Basta recarsi sul sito della società, scaricare il modulo, riempirlo, stamparlo e poi portarlo con sé, ovviamente con un documento di identità valido.
Tutto bene? Probabilmente sì; tuttavia ci vedo la possibilità di far entrare i soggetti non ben accetti, se i controlli non sono ferrei.
Teniamo conto che gli addetti alla sicurezza non hanno (?) la possibilità di verificare sulla relativa piattaforma, se il sostituto sia soggetto a qualche limitazione all'ingresso, almeno non in tempo reale.
A oggi è l'unico caso di cui sia venuto a conoscenza. Se altre società applicano lo stesso metodo o simili, sarei grato delle segnalazioni.

Civility Is a Fantasy
After encouraging podcast listeners of the recently deceased Charlie Kirk to become online vigilantes in search of anyone “celebrating” Mr. Kirk’s death, Vice President JD Vance said last week: “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”
Vance was doing what conservatives often do — conjuring up people so his followers have someone specific to foment against. This brand of demagoguery is incredibly dangerous, because when informally deputized vigilantes realize that few real enemies exist, they accept any substitute. They direct their manufactured ire toward innocent people, marginalized groups and, eventually, each other.
Civility is the mode of engagement that is often demanded in political discourse; it is the price of admission to important political conversation, its adherents would have us believe; no civility, no service. But civility — this idea that there is a perfect, polite way to communicate about sociopolitical differences — is a fantasy...

disperazione pomeridiana, di stampo rigirante, accidentalmente universitario.
Oggi mi sentivo un po’ vecchia, un po’ marcita, un po’ persa, per quanto assolutamente mai meno magica (anche perché stavolta non ho dimenticato pezzi a casa per uscire, quindi bene)… e perché però? Boh, perché nonostante le nuove cose ci sono comunque sempre soltanto io e me, ed i momenti veramente epici sono limitati, se non nulli, al di fuori delle benedettissime distrazioni… e perché in appena due giorni di fare avanti e indietro fuori casa, per qualche motivo, due (2) unghie a caso delle mie importanti ditine si sono scassate… una particolarmente. Dovrei ritagliarle e rimettere lo smalto, ma ieri sera mi scordai, e stasera probabilmente i poteri forti troveranno un altro modo per impedirmelo… 🥴Ma, per una buona volta, ho nel possibile (cioè, nel così piccolo da richiedermi pensiero quasi nullo e solo pochi secondi di tempo) deciso di accettare la disperazione, e… ho cambiato la cover del telefono con questa qui di qualche tempo fa, a portafoglio, che dunque fa molto zia boomer… (Ma davvero eh, di solito non si trova gente sotto i 40 anni con queste, e in genere i telefoni su cui sono applicate sono pure pieni di malware.) Ok, in effetti il collegamento logico è fragile, ma il mio cervello ha deciso così, e così è; prossima volta, a pensarci meglio, prendo l’altra mia cover vecchia, quella viola, che è tutta consumata e scolorita in vari punti, con attaccato un laccetto di fortuna marcio, e forse quella sarebbe più appropriata. Comunque, visto che le distrazioni, alle 2 di pomeriggio, nel mezzo del letterale vuoto orario, non bastavano a farmi stare a posto, oggi sono pure andata alla macchinetta a prelevare la droga, e a quel punto si che sono stata nel mio… nella disperazione, certo, ma pur sempre la mia personalissima e inconfondibile disperazione! 🥰
Quindi, oggi il mood è questo. Contemporaneamente maledetto, ma a suo modo sacro ed inviolabile. E sono a dire il vero un po’ in dubbio sul se la foto di queste così immacolate vibe scattata non solo con la webcam del PC portatile, ma scattando una schermata del desktop del portatile con la fotocamera aperta, faccia più disperazione o più vecchiaia, ma quello che davvero conta è che è reale. Con Android Studio aperto sotto non per caso, ovviamente, ma perché a queste condizioni così pesanti è davvero meglio abbandonarsi alla sofferenza autoinflitta dello sviluppo Android, piuttosto che lasciarsi tirare in pasto da quel vuoto esistenziale che si nasconde sempre, costantemente, dietro ogni angolo, dentro ogni parete… (Forse anche per questo, dopo essermi piazzata col PC in aula studio, ho in modo parzialmente inconscio fatto la speedrun per andare alla macchinetta più lontana, che quella vicina aveva una fila interminabile, per acquistare il caffè, che oggi ha vinto sulla mia tirchiaggine senza nemmeno una gran lotta? E boh…) 🦴🦜 OctoVoLTE ~ RSS Vibes Season ("microblogoctt" aka "fritto misto di octospacc" e "diario di octt" o "diarioctt")
