Love talking all things trrpg. I primarily GM Genesys RPG, sometimes also Star Wars RPG and Hero Kids.

Also into Linux, 3D Printing, software development, and PC gaming

  • Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead

    跳过

  • I've talked with people in HVAC who have said the same. It's much easier to provide a service to a business than random individuals.

    However, this is different, as this is just a retail product. Micron doesn't have to deal with the person who doesn't pay after the job is done, or doesn't lock their dog up because "he doesn't bite, it will be fine" and it turns out to be an aggressive monster. This is just assembly line production that they already are set up to do.

    I get that they have a limited number of inputs and they are just choosing to make as much money as possible. It sucks to see that go, though. Crucial has always been my go-to for RAM.

  • Americans' thanksgiving pie preferences by state

  • Sweet potato pie, contrary to the graph, is pretty similar to pumpkin pie, except better.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    跳过

  • And then power toys shortcuts conflict with the standard shortcuts and requires a ton of fiddling and customizing configs. You know, the thing windows users always say is a reason they don't want to use linux.

  • Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug'

    跳过

  • That should also come up in a reviews also. Not trying to imply one guy should get fired as a scapegoat, just talking from experience how much it sucks to know your code caused major issues.

  • Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug'

    跳过

  • So the actual outage comes down to pre-allocating memory, but not actually having error handling to gracefully fail if that limit is or will be exceeded... Bad day for whoever shows up on the git blame for that function

  • Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame

    跳过

  • It does look very chonky, and not very aesthetically pleasing.

    However, as a heavy user of the steam deck over the past year, I am super excited. The track pads and the extra inputs on the steam deck give so much flexibility to play games that otherwise wouldn't work well with controller at all. I'm just hoping it feels better (or at least not worse) than the steam deck in terms of ergonomics. I plan on getting one for my desktop PC.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

    跳过

  • I've seen some people say they got fusion 360 working on linux with bottles, but I didn't have any luck with it. I use OpenSCAD and FreeCAD for making models to print, but if you need Fusion360 specifically for work (or specific Adobe products) then you are kind of stuck unless your company is ok with a change. You won't be able to view or edit other people's Fusion360 files without that specific application. You can always run Windows in a VM on linux and install only the applications you need it for there. If you have a good enough PC that is viable, but isn't a great experience on a lower end system.

  • Using Vim is Amazing

    跳过

  • Do you use vim motions in your JetBrains IDE? We use Webstorm at work and I installed the vim motions plugin because I want to get more fluent with using Vim but I haven't really given it a fair shot yet.

  • My 8 and 9 year old kids use xubuntu on a 2013 macbook air. They use it for writing stories, making a lot of pixel art with Piko Pixel, and some code block style programming with Lego Spike. They are learning about multi-user systems, file management, etc. I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap pc that can run Minecraft (lots of those right now since people are just trashing old win 10 machines) because the older kid wants to learn how to make Minecraft mods.

  • Andrew Cuomo slammed for ‘embarrassing’ AI Halloween attack ad on Zohran Mamdani

    跳过

  • Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn't otherwise provide.

    Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you're going to use them.

  • Decided to try out Bazzite on my desktop PC - Distrobox feels like magic

  • It's always something 😅

  • Decided to try out Bazzite on my desktop PC - Distrobox feels like magic

    跳过

  • That sounds really frustrating. When my 1070 croaks I'm going with an AMD. Probably not going to upgrade before then since I mostly play older games and GPUs are just too expensive these days. First it was crypto mining, now it's AI... I just want to play my single player RPGs!

  • Decided to try out Bazzite on my desktop PC - Distrobox feels like magic

    跳过

  • That sucks. I have definitely had issues with certain hardware on other machines. Even with this Bazzite install, sleep doesn't work (thanks to my Gigabyte MB, as the other poster mentioned) and I have some weird behavior with ethernet, but my asus wifi card is working fine, thankfully, and that didn't work properly on windows when I tried it before I stopped dual booting.

    Hopefully you can find something that works well with your setup. The most frustrating issues to debug are ones with support for some specific hardware that isn't widely used by other Linux users, and may not ever be fully supported. Now that I am fully on linux, next time I upgrade I'm going to try to find components that are proven to work, and will probably be avoiding both Gigabyte and nVidia.

  • "Install this bloated spyware in exchange for a little bit of convenience" is like 80% of modern tech and I don't know how people are just ok with that

  • I still had to wait for a long time for shaders to load on initial launch on some games (DA Veilguard) but performance seemed fine. I didn't have performance issues on Ubuntu so not sure about your particular issues, but another thing to consider is based on your card, the latest nvidia drivers may not be correct - I had to download an older driver package for my card (1070) as recommended by nvidia. Bazzite had me select which series of card I had when downloading the ISO, so I assume it included the older drivers for my card. I haven't actually checked the installed driver version though

  • I have heard of rebasing but I haven't dug into it. Sounds really cool!

    I do use my PC for gaming, but Bazzite did come with a lot of other "gaming" software that I don't use, so it's good to know there is a lighter weight alternative that otherwise has the same benefits.

  • I have an older Ryzen 5, 16GB of ram and an nVidia 1070, so not cutting edge for sure. I downloaded the regular desktop version, not the steam big picture console-ish version, and steam account was not required. I just closed the steam window until I was done with my setup. I haven't seen any performance issues

  • Dolphin gets serious

    跳过

  • I installed Bazzite and it felt so much like installing Windows for me (huge install image, slow process, lots of loading wheels and user friendly "pretty" screens to get set up). It didn't feel great, but I figured I'd give it a fair chance and learn how to use a different setup than I'm used to.

    I still haven't had a chance to actually do much with it (only a couple of hours between work and other stuff) but I am really interested in the concept. After reading up more and watching some videos I now understand why the install process is so big and the reasoning behind it. This type of distro really does seem like a great option for regular users.

    Only issue I've had so far is connecting to my RaspberryPi to control my 3d printer using the .local hostname, since flatpak apparently has a bug with mDNS. IP works fine, and I did rps-ostree install a browser, which was kind of a pain, and probably not the correct way to address the issue, but that was within the first hour or so of using it and I haven't figured out the best way to do that type of thing yet. Really looking forward to learning more about the setup and how to customize stuff on top of it. Distrobox seems extremely powerful and sounds like it will give me everything I want.

    Still have vanilla Debian on my laptop, which I absolutely love, but using it on my desktop PC was kind of a pain due to some proprietary drivers required there (nvidia).
