As someone who loves the steam deck, the verification system is a total joke and should be totally ignored. There's plenty of "verified" games that run terribly, or don't work. ProtonDB is what you should use instead.
This is completely untrue and I don't know why people keep repeating this.
I spent hours trying to set up the GUI and couldn't get it to work. Tried the AUR, Flatpack etc and no luck. In the end I just set up the command line version of open VPN with an Alias.
I was apout to suggest this, I get leg cramps semi often and this tip is a life saver.
Yeah it's a bit of a nightmare. If you want to play the base game without any mods, I think it should work fine just using Proton GE now. But if you want the HD texture pack you have to jump through so many hoops.
I imagine in a few months the process will be streamlined, but this seems to be the only way to get it working at the moment.

Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?
So I recently set up a home media server and was planning on setting up remote access using Tailscale which doesn't work very well with VPN's from what I have read.
I don't want to download things exposing my IP address so was thinking about picking up a Raspberry PI and running Radarr & Sonarr, then setting the PI to auto transfer to my server every 24 hours with any new files.
I've never used a Raspberry Pi before so wasn't sure if the Zero would be powerful enough to do this. It'd literally just be used to connect to a VPN, Download and transfer files on my network.
Would the Pi Zero be suitable or is there a better Pi for this use case?
Netflix does let you add "guest" users in different households now, although It could be it just hasn't hit you yet. When they announced the password crackdown it stopped Netflix working in my second household, but we just logged out and in and we haven't been "blocked" since.
It seems for the initial debacle they blocked loads of accounts but I don't know how often they do a ban wave or if they just figured the original announcement would get more people to buy subscription's (which seems to have worked).
I've never seen a clothing store using RFID tags before but that's quite interesting technology. I've just done some reading up on it and I hope more places start using it it seems convenient and something I'd like to see adopted on a large scale.
I feel the people who don't like self checkout keep trying to push the idea that it's bad or putting people out of jobs, rather than just admitting it's convenient for most people. If i want to buy one or two items I don't want to queue up behind 5 people with a full trolley.
I second this, was about to recommend Kagi, auto filters listicles, fantastic for actually finding information written by real people on blogs and things that aren't SEO spam
Alisa - A Survival Horror Blast From The Past
Do you miss the days or fixed camera angles, janky combat and bad voice acting? Then this may be the perfect game for you!
Alisa is a love letter to classic survival horror games with a focus fixed camera angles, tank controls and obtuse puzzles. If you like the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill games this what you're looking for.
Alisa has a rather unique setting taking place in a large doll house full of creepy dolls, clowns and more monstrosities that I won't spoil here.
The gameplay has you exploring a large doll house (see: mansion) full of monsters and puzzles where you have to find the right key or item to progress. Ammo is somewhat scarce, however enemies drop currency upon defeat which you can use to buy upgrades and ammo. The upgrades include various dresses which give you different stat boosts such as taking less damage, or faster movement. You have to decide how much ammo you want to use to clear a room and whether it's worth the exchange as enemies don't respawn. Af
Is there an Open Source Equivalent of Shazam for Android
If someone doesn't know what Shazam is, it listens to music playing on the radio or TV and identifies it and helps you find the name/artist.
I was wondering if there open source equivalent, I tried searching google and AlternativeTo but only found Linux desktop apps.

In my restless dreams. I still see Silent Hill 2...
Silent Hill 2 was the first Silent Hill game on PS2 and it's a massive step up visually from the original game on PS1, and it still looks great today! The cutscenes look a bit dated but not awful, and generally the in engine cutscenes look quite good.
The story of Silent Hill 2 follows a man named James Sunderland who receives a letter from his dead wife telling him to come to their special place in Silent Hill. James quickly heads to the town to investigate the mysterious letter and find out if his wife Mary is still alive....
The story is definitely the strongest part of Silent Hill 2 and the mystery of Mary's letter keeps the game engaging for the appropriate run time of 6-8 hours. I think the story continues to get better as the game goes on. Having a small cast of 4-5 characters was a smart choice as you get to see them go on their their own adventure around silent hill independent of your actions. It makes them feel more real and "alive". Rather than just being there to give yo
