  • Tape drive backups

    Jump

  • Definitely do not do tapes.

    I'd also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

    Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

  • Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform

    Jump

  • I miss the era around the release of Android 4 where there were all sorts of interesting 10" Android tablets coming out.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I'm always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It's not something I worry about very much.

  • The Illuminator Advert - Game Boy Accessory

    Jump

  • I had one of these in translucent purple to match the Gameboy and it was dope.

  • Some are called the great old ones for a reason

  • Is it too early for me to inspire madness in the minds of men?

  • My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...

  • Debunking the grey market beyond Steam

    Jump

  • Yeah that's a pretty important distinction. I can buy Rimworld from the Steam store, or I can buy a Rimworld Steam key straight from the Ludeon website for the same price or I can buy a DRM copy for less I just won't get Steam features like automatic updates, cloud saves, or the mod workshop.

    Seems reasonable they don't want you using the platform for distribution while undercutting the storefront price.

  • Debunking the grey market beyond Steam

    Jump

  • So can developers just 'create' steam keys out of thin air that can be used to activate their game on steam? Does Valve get paid when the keys are created or activated? Or not at all?

    Seems fair maybe if it's using all of Steams infrastructure, considering developers can distribute the game themselves without steam keys.

  • Modern technology is a marvel

    Jump

  • I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

    Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn't use it as a primary workstation.

  • I had this conversation last month, also from a 13 yo.

    Jump

  • Meanwhile being "the bomb" is good, but "bombing" is bad.

    But if you're "shit" that's bad but "the shit" is good.

  • Google’s New AI Puts Breasts on Minors—And J. D. Vance

    Jump

  • No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance's massive hate-filled titties.

  • prob

    Jump

  • Hey I just want a simple way to understand myself, others, and my place in the world without having to do any personal introspection.

  • Showing who's in charge

    Jump

  • A: "Good job Tex."

    B: "My name is Sam sir, I'm from Wisconsin."

    A: "Nah, you're Tex now."

    (This is my vague memory of a gag in an Atomic Robo comic)

  • SteamOS 3 finally released by Valve for other handheld

    Jump

  • On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

    On a desktop? No. It's not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.

  • It's those damn coding gremlins I tell ya

    Jump

  • Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.

    Jump

  • Hemingway used to say "Write drunk, edit sober." I've modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:

    Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.

  • Software companies HATE him!

    Jump

  • Do you know what this is called or have any links? I'm not finding anything that seems like what you're describing.

  • Yeah I should have expected a serious answer but I couldn't resist. Glad you're taking care of yourself though. Cancer is awful.
