  • Technical ambition, optimism, and timeframes: what we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red

    Jump

  • Or preferably: don't care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don't build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?

    Jump

  • Is that really a relevent attack vector in your day to day use, that full disk encryption wouldn't cover? My browser is rarely closed when I am on the PC, so it would be accessible (because unlocked).

  • 2k Launcher has been fully removed from all games

    Jump

  • Ah, good to know. Thanks!

  • RGB+C+W light showing up as only C+W bulb

    Jump

  • There is some documentation in the forum about how to add new device support or where to request it. Read it and then decide what to do.

  • 2k Launcher has been fully removed from all games

    Jump

  • Even CD Project Red added such shit. Instead of directly launching Witcher or Cyberpunk I now have to go through a(nother) launcher now. Pointless.

    Baldurs Gate 3 needed one from the beginning as well.

    I don't get it.

  • What ZigBee Coordinator do you use? I know deconz and zigbee2mqtt have the ability to add support for new devices via config files. But that's a bit of a rabbit hole into the ZigBee protocol. They also have forums/issue trackers where one can request support for new devices.

  • Self hosting email, what's the latest and greatest what FOSS can offer?

    Jump

  • Stalwart is 95% awesome. What holds me back is, that Mails are stored in a Database and not Maildir. Maildir is insanely trivial to backup incrementally and to restore individual mails if necessary. That currently holds me on dovecot.

  • 💡 Matter Lights!

    Jump

  • But that's the neat thing: the system is well structured into different layers and subcomponents. They are not all involved to control lightbulbs; that's mostly your local hue bridge. One component will make sure, Alexa can control your bulbs (if you want that). If that component fails, only Alexa stops working. Another component handles push notifications to your mobile devices. If that fails, the rest is unimpacted. And so on.

    That was, for a long time, the main reason I heavily recommended Hue: the bridge can be used completely offline and still offered a good local API and pairing system. Unfortunately last year that made online accounts a requirement. I assume besides the App you can still use many things even if your network connection is broken, though.

  • Question: self-hosted instant messanger.

    Jump

  • It's more comparable to Snikket. Both Snikket and Prose use Prosody as server with their own extensions.

  • Question: self-hosted instant messanger.

    Jump

  • You could look into prose. The interface of slack/discord/mattermost, built on XMPP, with E2EE.

  • 💡 Matter Lights!

    Jump

  • What's wrong with that? Do you expect their backend to run off a single server with a little PHP script? The components seem pretty reasonable (with the actual business logic being just a small part).

  • Why self host a password manager?

    Jump

  • Bitwardens local cache does not include attachments, though. If you rely on them, you have to rely on the server being available.

  • After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original

    Jump

  • While I like and appreciate the campaign, the issue IMO is bigger. IoT devices for example even have environmental impact when services behind them get discontinued.

    I would therefore like a more general rule: whenever a product is discontinued for whatever reason, all necessary documents, sources, etc need to be released to allow third parties to take over maintenance (that also includes schematics for hardware repairs).

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • I don't understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?

  • The Elder Scrolls Online now “officially” playable on the Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Why? What did Zenimax do to you?

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

    Jump

  • Unreal Tournament

  • Companies that use desktop Linux

    Jump

  • Most people in my company use OSX, followed by a few dozen Linux users (various distros; whatever each one prefers), followed by a few Windows users (whyever they want that). So essentially: we can choose what we want to use.

  • Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

    Jump

  • Yes and no; you left out part of my quote. Stuff that can be put in a reminder is up to me (especially if I tell them "I'll handle it"). But if for whatever reason that's not possible and I tell them "you might have to remind me again next week" and they are fine with that, then they shouldn't be pissed if I indeed needed a reminder. That's what I meant with "I warned them".

  • Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

    Jump

  • This doesn’t seem reasonable… If you accept some responsibility

    But ... that was the point. "Telling them your boundaries" implies not accepting something you are not up to. My managers know that I am not a good manager myself. I have a lot of qualities, at being a driving force in a project is not among them. So they don't utilize me for that. Which is good.

    Yes, it would be on me if I constantly tell them "sure, just let me handle it" and then not handle it. But that would be the opposite of what I wrote above.
