  • its a 1999 nissan actually

  • Definitely. I miss driving sedans and small hatchbacks, up until a few years ago they’re all I’d ever driven.

    I currently have a Kia Sportage only because I moved to a rural area and needed something that could deal with country roads and off-road. Otherwise I’d still be driving my old ‘07 Accent, that thing gave me zero problems in well over 100k miles.

  • 90s/early 2000s Civics were great. Comfortable ride and well maintainable. WTF is mom on about here, an ‘04 Civic is a great car.

  • Just fucking do it already. This is not a “play nice with the other side of the table” scenario.

    They’re invading cities, kidnapping people without due process, sowing violence and fear, intentionally injuring and maiming with “non-lethal” weaponry, macing people in drive-bys for funsies, and straight up killing people in cold blood.

    What the fuck is it gonna take democrats? Seems like no bridge is too far for you clowns. This shit is why I’m registered independent despite being liberal. I don’t feel represented. At all.

  • RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!

  • For a general use or gaming PC, 32GB is more than enough for the majority of users. It might show its limits with use as a server or dedicated database using complex queries.

    Heck, even as servers go, I've got an AMD mini-PC running a Ryzen 5700u with 32 GB RAM. It's running Plex, Jellyfin, AudioBookShelf, Home Assistant, Asset UPnP, and a few other apps, plus has some small extra VMs occasionally for testing stuff and I'm hardly utilizing it, nowhere near capacity. I'm never using more than 8 out of 16 threads, and about half the RAM is still available even under full load scenarios when I'm running updates and using Plex heavily (such as scanning intros, or doing acoustic analysis for Plexamp use).

    Most of the time under normal use, it's practically idle, and RAM use is low (Proxmox with memory minimums and ballooning).

  • Interesting, thanks for the info. I didn’t know about the GE fork.

    Re: Lutris and RBR, it’s just how it worked out. When I originally set it up, it wouldn’t work properly when I tried running the install via proton and I could only get it to launch with Lutris and WINE. Could be things have changed, last time I set it up was like 2023 or something. I just ran into the problem a few months back when trying to update.

    For now I did set up a windows partition for some of this stuff (WRC 10, Gens, AC Rally, RBR, Moza firmware updates), but I just hate booting into it.

  • Mainly it’s the Nacon WRC games. 7, 8, 9, 10, Generations, none of them work in Linux with Moza. The games just have poor wheel detection. Not much to be done for now, even lawstorant (Boxflat developer, the Moza software for Linux) apparently keeps a windows partition to play those.

    A few other minor issues as well. AMS2 works, but I have to configure the wheel manually in-game every time I want to play it. And RallySimFans RBR works great, but updating it is a nightmare with Lutris, it’s literally easier to fully uninstall and reinstall when there’s an update.

  • I’ve got a Moza R5 and it’s fine for most stuff (my old wheel was a Thrustmaster TMX Pro that didn’t work in Linux at all).

    But it’s still got problems with the WRC games which sucks because they’re great and I rally more than race.

    AC Rally seems to have started supporting it as of the latest update but I haven’t gotten around to testing it. It didn’t detect the wheel on 0.1 release.

    In all it’s not totally bad, just frustrating at times.

  • Not daily, but sim racing. Game and peripheral support is all over the place. Wheels/wheelbases generally need Windows to update firmware or adjust features.

    Some games will detect wheel, pedals, handbrake, etc. no prob in Windows but not at all in Linux. Certain games need reg fixes in Windows that are more complicated to apply in Linux.

    It’s a pain, and the best supported wheel is also one of the cheapest/poorest quality ones on the market (Logitech G29). If you have higher end DD gear or mix and match stuff, it can get complicated or unviable.

  • Americans are paying more than ever for cars. Cheap models are disappearing

    Jump

  • Americans didn't decide it. Loophole in fuel efficiency laws ties the fuel economy footprint to carriage size. So to get around this, the manufacturers started making the cars larger, wider, and boxier. It's why even small sedans are several inches wider than they used to be, when you can find them at all.

  • I use it because I love it but no need at least not for app installing having Discover.

    Didn't you have to install that via the terminal? Discover store is not installed on EndeavourOS by default. You must have installed it and forgot.

  • Depends on your distro. Maybe on Ubuntu or Mint, sure. I'm running EndeavourOS, and it's terminal or nothing. I'm fine with that, but YMMV.
