Today I found solace in The Truth.

From the same topic:
#Pseudopolis Yard is where the pseudo-police of the Disc meet.
and:
I've always taken this to imply pseudo city, or fake city.
and finally:
Also along those lines: Uberwald is a combination of two German words, "Uber" meaning around/across (in a sense) and "Wald" meaning forest.
If you roughly translate those words to Latin, you get "Trans" and "Sylvania". That one took me a while.

377 followers · 15895 posts · Server mastodon.xyzDecided that I dislike how buggy #VLC git-master 'Otto Chriek' has got so much that I've gone back to the stable 3.0.6 #Vetinari version. If I could be arsed I'd find the exact commit where #Otto went to hell, and grab the commit before and use that build. But, I can''t currently be arsed (;*
