  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Ive started a replay of BATTLETECH (2016), this time with all of the DLC. I need something turn based for now and this really scratches that itch. I love how good the gameplay is and the gritty graphics fit the setting so well.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • The dev entry point changing like that means that it disconnected and then reconnected, which shouldn’t have anything to do with the specific file system on the drive. That really makes it sound like the drive isn’t getting quite enough power, which causes a brown out, which Linux detects as the drive getting unplugged and coming back, which is why it gets a new dev entry.

    A look through the usb logs by using something like usbrip would confirm that.

    Jump

  • Interesting. When you say that they show up as a different drive completely, do you mean that their UUIDs change, or that they get mounted at a different point?

    Anyway, random disconnection sounds like a hardware issue, maybe a USB brownout, as much as anything else. What’s your connection setup, distro and kernel version?

  • Looking for an Itch Recommendation?

    Jump

  • My partner, who is a non-gamer loves WytchWood, which is a rather slow paced crafting and wander around the woods game in a fairy tale setting.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • Eh? I've never had a problem with reading NTFS drives in linux, including USB sticks and SATA/USB adapters. Are you just wanting to read them or use them as read/write? Write is a bit more tricky, requiring ntfs-3g, but most reasonable distros come with that nowadays.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • Mint. It’s a great, simple, well supported first distro. And last distro, TBH. I know plenty of people like to distro hop as a hobby, but if you just want to use your machine pick a well supported basic distro and stick with it. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora are all good options, but Mint is really aimed at newcomers.

  • Lucky enough, I am C++ Developer

    Jump

  • I was a C/C++ dev for a long time. Then a while back I got an ewaste Thinkpad running Linux and have started developing in Rust. When do my programming socks show up?

  • iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots."

    Jump

  • Except, you know, for everyone that has an iRobot device that is going to lose connectivity soon.

  • iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots."

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to support anything from iRobot. I’m hoping that there will be a jailbreak made available before they go bankrupt, but I doubt it.

  • Is it bad if I'm 31 and I feel genuinely sad and empty that a mythical creature isn't real?

    Jump

  • I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

  • Racists are now openly targeting Indian Americans

    Jump

  • Welp, now I have plans to my next Sunday dinner.

  • More liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns out of fear

    Jump

  • There are many exercises to help train your reactions during actual emergencies that don’t involve firing live ammunition at real people. Im more familiar with martial arts than firearms, but sparring works.

  • Valves first title with a 3 in it

    Jump

  • I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

  • High level playing can be interesting

    Jump

  • I don’t see any indication that it is any specific system being referenced, so I chose the better one.

  • High level playing can be interesting

    Jump

  • Nat 20 adds one to the degree of success, which almost always means a crit unless you are dealing with something way above your level.

  • Can you be nude in your own backyard? [US]

    Jump

  • Go on…

  • Spider Dragon...

    Jump

  • Wait, people can’t visualize the amount of electricity used for something? Oh, right, not everyone is an electrical engineer.

  • Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world?

    Jump

  • While this feels like bait, I'm going to take it. Yes, there is a huge benefit to learning and using a terminal if you use a computer as a tool for creating and working instead of passively consuming entertainment. Organizing and searching files of any sort, building applications, writing without distraction, working with remote devices, and just generally using your computer as a tool instead of a fancy TV are all made easier, faster and more efficient if you can use a terminal. The unix philosophy gives you the ability to do things by stringing together a few commands that you might have to find a specialized program for, if it even exists in GUI land.

    That's not to say the GUI's aren't great for a lot of things. They are! But they also lock you into doing things in a few predetermined ways rather than letting you develop the skills and techniques for exploring new spaces.

  • Using Vim is Amazing

    Jump

  • Give Helix a try. It comes with everything you are asking for built in, plus discovery for the commands, plus a selection first approach so you can see what you’re doing.
