  • What's a video game you were bummed about finishing, wishing the experience lasted longer?

    Jump

  • Prey 2017.

    Such an underrated game on its own.

    The ambient is so immersive to me, both indoors and outdoors, so many details, being able to interact with so many objects in so many ways, even the Looking Glass, I just wish it lasted much more... the ending was however quite disappointing in all aspects, especially from the story perspective and in the "I wanted more" perspective.

  • Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices

    Jump

  • It's just the fact that, at some point, if you want a faster computer, you're bound to have DDR5.

    AMD 5000 is fast, but how does it compare to last gen? Is there a 5000 CPU that can get the same score as a high end 9000 CPU?

    What if you have a homelab server to upgrade but find out you need more PCIe lanes?

    Other than that, yeah, you don't need DDR5, but DDR4 is slowly going out of production and is also rising in price... so you're screwed either way.

  • Kinda proud of this python script I wrote

  • Small improvement: Allow for spaces near the Equal sign in the regex (i.e. Ports*=s*)

  • Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in

  • That would basically give out my wanking schedule to the processor...

  • TIL about Wiki.js

    Jump

  • I used to love it, but wiki.js 2.0's editor is very unfriendly to non-tech users. 3.0 could've been the solution, but after waiting over and over for wiki.js 3.0 to release, after being years late on their schedule and with less and less blog posts (the last blog post about 3.0 is two years old!!) we chose to migrate to Bookstack.

  • Which of the 3 standard compression algorithms on Unix (gz, xz, or bz2) is best for long term data archival at their highest compression?

    Jump

  • Honestly, given that they should be purely compressing data, I would suppose that none of the formats you mentioned has ECC recovery nor builtin checksums (but I might be very mistaken on this). I think I only saw this within WinRAR, but also try other GUI tools like 7zip and check its features for anything that looks like what you need, if the formats support ECC then surely 7zip will offer you this option.

    I just wanted to point out, no matter what someone else might say, if you were to split your data onto multiple compressed files, the chances of a bit rotting deleting your entire library are much lower, i.e. try to make it so that only small chunks of your data is lost in case something catastrophic happens.

    However, if one of your filesystem-relevant bits rot, you may be in for a much longer recovery session.

  • The Epochalypse: It’s Y2K, But 38 Years Later

    Jump

  • It only depends whether the app and its OS/kernel interface use a 32-bit value to store the time information.

    32-bit architecture or OS has nothing to do with this bug, for example 16-bit architectures must've used 32-bit time, too (otherwise they'd be able to only count up to 32-65 seconds).

  • Another help me choose a distro

    Jump

  • I am using bazzite for gamedev and it is AWESOME.

    It is immutable but ships with distrobox and boxbuddy, which lets you easily create linux containers with mutable systems (i.e. I am currently developing on a fedora container with Qt Creator, for example) and you can install your packages in that terminal.

    No chances of breaking your main OS.

    I set up my instance like follows:

    Boxbuddy -> New distrobox container -> Fedora -> Give it a name.

    Wait for the installation (should be about 300MB IIRC).

    In the start menu you will now be able to run your instance's terminal (search for your instance name).

    sudo dnf install qt-creator

    Back in boxbuddy, in my instance I selected "show installed gui applications", selected Qt Creator -> Add to applications menu.

    Qt Creator then shows up in the start menu (search for either Qt Creator, or your instance name).

    It will run in the container, but has full access to your home directory for development.

    I could then install all my other required packages from the same terminal that I installed qt-creator from.

    Easy peasy.

    Disclaimer: Typing from my phone. The instructions may not be exactly like I said, but those are the steps.

    No terminal magic is needed in Bazzite to make this work.

  • Sony, owner of "Naughty Dog", is suing a small game developer "Naughty Cat" in HK for trademark infringement.

    Jump

  • I'd understand if it wasn't a game developer, but this looks like a clear case of piggybacking.

    Also, fuck gambling.

  • Can somebody please tell me whether this is true or not ?

    Jump

  • What doesn't make sense?

    A VPN is, in simple terms, just a network connection that goes through someone else's modem.

    All of that is normal for a VPN:

    • You depend on their paid service
    • You depend on their network availability
    • Basic data reporting enabled by default (which you can opt out of)

  • Only app I need

  • I remember my Nexus having a colored notification LED that you could customize, i.e. for WhatsApp notification it'd be green, for SMS blue, emails red, etc.

  • New & Improved Steam Performance Overlay Now in Steam Beta

    Jump

  • Steam already had the FPS counter in its overlay.

    I imagine they will add an option to have the full thing.

  • Jellyfin assistance

    Jump

  • Not OP, but it was very simple if you have already seen that error.

    First of all, there is one single easily parsable error.

    https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian produced a 404 error, thus the URL is invalid.

    Let's ignore why it's invalid for a second.

    This error happens after apt update, thus we can deduce the following:

    • It's supposed to be an apt repository URL (To experienced users, it effectively looks like a repository URL)
    • This repository URL does not work
    • As in 99% of cases, this URL is likely located in a configuration file in the standard location, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

    Back to why it's invalid, maybe it used to be valid in the past, or there is a temporary server error, this can be verified with the official documentation.

    If the documentation does not mention this repository URL, then it's a mistake to use it.

    This is a good moment to google this URL and find out why/which guide tells you to use it, and to analyze which steps they made you take.

    From there, reverse those steps.

    Even if you hadn't found this guide, you can be sure that by looking into /etc/apt/sources.list.d you would've found that file containing that URL, simply removing the file or URL would've removed the error.

    Lastly, you look for either the official documentation, or a more reliable guide.

  • Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam

  • To be fair: How many games on Steam support ARM anyways?

  • The space makes that two different tokens, in reality what happens is 'a' + (+'a') that resolves to 'a' + 'NaN'.

  • I got burned way too many times thanks to SD cards, one time I had a very good SD card fail way too early and can't trust them anymore since then.

    If I was supposed to do something like this, I'd consider using a SATA disk with an adapter.

  • Google translate does that, you can also use it on real-world text with your camera and the translation results look exactly like that

  • Need an affordable residential and secure proxy

    Jump

  • More like effectively a paid-for VPS which, depending on where you live, might cost about €3/mo.

    Configuration is all on your end and, to be fair, you may still end up on a blocklist since that's just a way to bypass their VPN restriction and your IP will not show up to be a residential address.

  • I don't know if the critique is well deserved, considering that "we" probably don't "want people switching to"... a minecraft server management utility built in nodejs that's also barely mantained.Yeah, I think it's clear that I really didn't get the reasoning behind "we want people switching to".We're talking about a server side utility, and whoever is using that should either have a bit of knowledge about servers, or be versatile enough to learn even if just by getting their hands dirty - on that regard, one should use a virtualisation system so that they can freely manage their OS and package versions without breaking everything in the meantime.

    To contribute to this discussion, I tried CubeCoders AMP and never looked back.

    Installation was relatively easy as it's a one-liner installation script, but you have to purchase a license to set up a game server.

    Mod management isn't the best, as there is no real utility other than the file manager, but I understand that's an almost impossible issue to solve because of how many configuration variants exist.

    I had three instances running on three different systems at one point, even if just to host other game servers since it's not limited to MC.
