I also have a no Samsung policy, because of their refrigerators.

What an awesome project - thanks for sharing the details!!

Unexpected Einhar. Nice.

Sorry, it was late and I don’t often annotate photos on my phone. I’ll do better next time.

Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.

I tried doing a TimeShift restore last week for another software issue, and nvidia drivers crapped the bed (again). Decided it was time to bite the bullet and swapped out my 1080 Ti with a 7700 XT. Did a clean install of Manjaro, and it was eerie how simple it was to get everything including Wayland to work. Should’ve done it two years ago.

Great article and explanation on why Proton and its components are such a game changer. Thanks for sharing!

Ironically, Nier Automata is only listed as “playable” on Steam Deck.

Don’t take your toilet shut-off valve for granted. Make sure it still moves regularly, preferably when you’re not millimeters away from getting shit water all over your floor and feet.

Cold brew? Asking for a friend named me.

Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.

I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…

AFAIK, Milwaukee makes no claim to a particular style of pizza. We just make beer that goes damn well with any style - Lakefront Brewery’s Riverwest Stein being my top pick.

I just picked it up to play casually on steam deck, and it’s fun; in the same vein as Animal Crossing with a 16 bit RPG style. Plenty of depth and homestead building. You are correct that it’s a huge time suck, but unlike AC, you don’t have FOMO of missing days/events when you don’t play. It’s been a great de-stress distraction when I’ve needed it most.

I’ll line up to give you a high five on that! It’s a damn good feeling to hit that milestone. Great job!

I certainly had to fiddle with it a bit to start, but once it’s up and running it’s seamless and less prone to issues than torrenting IMO.

It’s likely faster - no waiting for seeds to connect and ramp up. I routinely see 900+Mbps from my provider from start to finish.

You aren’t at risk of exposing your true IP or downloads list to anyone but your Usenet provider.

Zero seeding required.

Older content is more likely to still be available in my experience (and not just with 1 dial-up seeder).

On occasion I have to go to private trackers when something never made it to Usenet, but it’s almost always something niche like an obscure out of print album. It cuts both ways though, and I’ve found some buried gems on Usenet that weren’t on any tracker.

The biggest downsides are the monthly cost of a Usenet provider, and a bit more technical expertise to host the NZB grabber.
