  • Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE

    Jump

  • Same for the "online only design" argument. The moment they decide it's not viable anymore and they want to shut it down: what does it matter to them, what players do with it? As long as they offer the service themselves, no one is bugging them. (Although I would absolutely be in favor of also getting self hosting options right from the start, I am realist enough to accept, that this would indeed lower economical feasibility of some projects.)

  • Does it make a difference, if that setting uses a trailing slash? Might be it redirects you to the path without, which triggers caddy to redirect you again, and so on and so forth.

    You could also, instead of redirecting, rewrite it. Then it is handled serverside without sending the client somewhere else.

  • Microsoft layoffs are reportedly underway, with ZeniMax and King employees losing their jobs

  • If you go for subscription, you accept that the stuff is temporal. Or at least you should. So it should make no practical difference if a game vanishes because it gets pulled from the catalog or if you decide to cancel the subscription because you consider it too expensive.

  • If it fits your gaming profile, it's a pretty good deal.

  • Google Drive alternative?

    Jump

  • LOL, ok, fair 😁

    You should in any case consider your backup strategy. If you have reliable backups, your fuckups can't be as bad anymore. If you don't have reliable backups, a "raw" storage doesn't help you either. Maybe even the contrary: you won't notice, if individual files get corrupted or even lost until it's too late. (Not talking about disk corruption, against which the right filesystem can guard you.... but I am not sure you trust filesystems either 😛)

  • Google Drive alternative?

    Jump

  • Why does the storage layer of seafile scare you? Are you also scared of databases and prefer storing things in raw txt files? The difference is the same. You get certain features in return:

    • Versioning is possible (so each file can have a history you can roll back)
    • Sync is very fast
    • It can sync incremental changes even of big files

    You still have access via:

    • Web
    • Synced locally using Seafile Client
    • WebDAV
    • Mounted as network filesystem anywhere using SeaDrive.

  • A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud

    Jump

  • I don't like the syntax, the runtime environment (which runs interpreted) and for PHP more than many other languages (aside from JS), a lot of code out there is hacked together horribly which makes me completely distrust the community.

    Personally I stay away from anything that doesn't have a compiler.

  • A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud

    Jump

  • I was in the same boat and therefore my nextcloud instance was mostly running for backwards compatibility with a few setups I have, while I mostly use seafile, immich and sogo. But a few days ago I updated to nextcloud hub 10 (I think that's with nextcloud 31 under the hood) and damn does that run smooth. I was so impressed I got motivated to finally setup the high performance backend for nc talk.

    I still dislike PHP, but nextcloud just won back my heart a little.

  • Reevaluating my password management

    Jump

  • On mobile I indeed also had that issue once. However I made sure they can't lock me out completely. The db is stored using the opensource sqlcipher, so one can open it and extract everything manually, if absolutely necessary. As long as they don't change this, I am fine. In the worst case that would still be a lot of effort for me, but not impossible.

    The export has also improved a lot. You can now also export to JSON which includes all the data one could need.

  • Reevaluating my password management

    Jump

  • If you don't have a hard requirement of it being fully (!) OpenSource, then I would recommend Enpass. Relatively pleasing UI that runs native on Win, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. It has browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox that talk directly to the running fat client (so no multiple authentication with different browsers necessary).

    The password db is completely local, but it offeres several sync mechanisms like WebDAV or Dropbox or also iCloud; basically whatever can store files. If it's a NAS in your home, it simply will sync once you are back home.

    It also offers "WiFi Sync", in which case you designate one machine running Enpass as the server and link other clients to it, then you don't even need to run a separate hosting for it (but that machine needs to be on and running Enpass when you want to sync, obviously).

    It's basically a less open but much more convenient and beautiful KeePass(XC).

  • What problems can I expect using Linux (Fedora) with an NVIDIA GPU?

    Jump

  • Nvidia rightfully earned their bad reputation on linux,

    Really? IMO not with GPUs. They have released linux drivers for decades, and always in time for new kernel versions. ATI was typically way behind and buggy as hell. I would likely not have switched to Linux on the desktop in 2006 if it wasn't for my GPU "just working", without any fiddling. Performance was always equal to Windows and stuff like multimonitoring just worked. They even had their nice setup utility to configure Xorg for you.

    Could they have handled the transition to Wayland better? Maybe. But claiming they earned a bad reputation in regards to GPU when they are the one big vendor that had extremely active linux support for ages is dishonest and unwarranted, IMO.

  • REMATCH is out now and works great on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Which is why I asked, because we are in a linux comm here. I don't put aside games that do shit on Windows, as long as they work fine on Linux.

    Edit: yes, it has

  • What is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)

    Jump

  • True.

    Although in Germany for example it can also be an issue when recording. If you have a security camera pointed at a public space (that can include the sidewalk infront of your house), passersby can sue you to take it down and potentially get you fined. Even pretending to constantly record such an area can yield that result.

  • What is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)

    Jump

  • So, buzzer WRONG.

    Quite arrogant after you just constructed a faulty comparison.

    If I say my name is Doo doo head, in a public park, and someone happens to overhear it - they can do with that information whatever they want. Same thing.

    That's absolutely not the same thing. Overhearing something that is in the background is fundamentally different from actively recording everything going on in a public space. You film yourself or some performance in a park and someone happens to be in the background? No problem. You build a system to identify everyone in the park and collect recordings of their conversations? Absolutely a problem, depending on the jurisdiction. The intent of the recording(s) and the reasonable expectations of the people recorded are factored in in many jurisdictions, and being in public doesn't automatically entail consent to being recorded.

    See for example https://www.freedomforum.org/recording-in-public/

    (And just to clarify: I am not arguing against your explanation of Twitch's TOS, only against the bad comparison you brought.)

  • Day 332 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

    Jump

  • My impression of Starfield (after release, at least) was, that it was a bunch of pretty well intended and implemented subsystems (as is, to my knowledge quite common in game development; each team works on a different one), but they just don't fit really well together. All the subsystems are good parts of a theoretically good overall big picture, but the complexity seemed too high for them to actually flesh out the big picture.

    Technically it all works, but IMO you feel the conceptual gaps whenever you transition (UX wise) from one gameplay mechanic to the next. It just doesn't (or didn't) feel like a cohesive game.
