  • Libertarians when capitalism: 😡

    Jump

  • I would call it voluntarily getting robbed. They weren't held at gun point to sign this, or get a truck they can't actually afford. Options exist (even if many aren't great), this certainly was a choice made for a reason I can't figure out.

  • Top 200 Most Common Passwords | NordPass

    Jump

  • Thankfully this isn't allowed for new devices being sold in the EU anymore. They are required to have a per-device individual password now. Hopefully this effectively causes the practice to at least become much less common globally. After all, if you've setup the needed manufacturing steps, there's little sense in skipping them depending on a target region.

  • Or if you have separated your devices into subnets/VLANs. Which becomes more important as your get more hardware that you don't really trust.

  • I had blocked the user, might have been before writing my reply. I guess that caused it to fail to the top level, weird. Deleted the comment as it doesn't make any sense there.

  • Might want to calculate out what the actual number is those "small" 3% represent. Or how the curve looks over time. how it changed from a mostly flat line to a very clearly and relatively steeply climbing curve.

  • CachyOS is basically vanilla Arch, from a resource point of view. They have their own repos, but they just mirror the arch repos. The arch wiki fully applies. For the very few special things, there is documentation (basically a few notes on gaming related performance options).

    So why use it? Carter it's trivial to install, and everything you need is preconfigured to just work with sane defaults. Installing it is like Mint or Ubuntu. But it uses optimized repos according to your available CPU instruction set, and optimized proton and wine (their own). Games just work (even more so than they already do generally), and are faster. Programs are faster (where it matters). But you don't need to do anything for that, it's just there by default.

  • European drone recommendation

    Jump

  • Are you looking for European made drone? Cause I'm sure those do not exist (outside of Ukraine). Even European designed might be hard to find, if that exists at all.

    Sorry I can't give a recommendation, I only fly self built drones for fun (aerobatics, freestyle), and have been out of the hobby for a little while, too. Even in the diy space, DJI is a powerhouse with their air unit providing control and live video. There are some alternatives these days, at least.

  • [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?

    Jump

  • Yes, Assuming that renaming a community without creating a new one isn't possible.

    The best way would be to just rename to "steamhardware", but losing everyone in the process is certainly not worth the rename for clarity.

  • After 9 Months on Mint I switched to Kubuntu and I'm loving it!!

    Jump

  • I would personally suggest looking into CachyOS or Manjaro.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • They can't sell this at a loss, or at least it would be incredibly risky. This is (intentionally) "just a PC". It ships with SteamOS but you can of course install whatever you want, including windows. If it is (much) cheaper than a roughly equivalent normal PC, companies might just start buying them in bulk but obviously not generating the supporting sales needed.

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • It's a misconception that is any "trouble". I'm using CachyOS, which is basically Arch but with additionally optimized repositories and settings. You just install it an use it, like Mint or Ubuntu. It just works, but it's also faster for performance related tasks (especially gaming, but also others), importantly and explicitly without any tinkering.

    Quite the opposite, actually: there much less tinkering required to get gaming specific things to "just work", as the tweaks are all there by default. This includes running Windows programs often considered hard to run (through Wine).

    I do happen to enjoy and want a rolling release. There's a new kernel released, and I can install it like a day later. New KDE comes out, update is there for me in a few hours. Software is generally up to date, which was such a refreshing experience as I'm used to running Debian server side. Oh what a contrast.

  • Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services

    Jump

  • Tailscale is WireGuard under the hood, if you didn't know. It's an overlay network that uses WireGuard to make the actual connections, and has some very clever "stuff" to get the clients actually to connect, even if behind firewalls without needing port forwarding.

    Using WireGuard directly basically just changes the app you use, which may or may not help with your issues. But the connecting technology is the exact same.

  • At least so far all llm features are opt-in, so "forcing llm features on users" is quite a bit of hyperbole.

    That being said, i still really dislike the direction they are heading in as well. Will probably have to at least swap to libre wolf soon-ish, if that continues...

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • Valve and therefore Steam is still privately owned, never went public. No share holders demanding things surely is a major factor.

  • Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post

    Jump

  • They can literally setup an instance themselves. By the time it is identified as such, the damage is basically done. Just make a new one. Or use one of the many instances not requiring approval. Or fill out the form with ai. They don't actually need an insane number of accounts for their subterfuge. Having just "some" and keeping them tied to conversational themes/topics seems sufficient?

  • How Do You Feel About Professional Sports in 2025?

    Jump

  • I've stopped caring about physical sports and their broadcast literal decades ago. I only occasionally watch relatively niche sports during the Olympics (climbing for example), but that's it.

    What I do watch is eSports. More exciting than watching a bunch of people run over a field repeatedly, trying to get a ball into a things or whatever.

  • If I'm hosting Stirling myself, I don't mind it being sent to the server obviously. Being fully open source of course is a big plus.

  • Linux for a Turion X2

    Jump

  • It's only light if you configure it to be. It can be as heavy or as light as you want it to be, but it's a good place to learn and experiment, as it's comparatively trivial to switch stuff around. Arch wiki is probably the best Linux resource out there.
