That’s me, still haven’t bought it. I got other games to play anyway so oh well!

4·3 days agoI just add the official launcher as a non-steam game and ran through the install as normal.
Granted I haven’t done it in a couple of months, so not sure if that method still works…but I don’t see why not
You should keep an eye on Gnome. Their recent release, Gnome 50, just introduced parental controls to limit access to programs and they’re looking to implement website access as well.
I don’t like Gnome, but my kid’s first PC will have Gnome on it now because of these new features, which I greatly appreciate
Genshin is playable on Linux? I play it on my Steam Deck.
12·7 days agoHonestly if you worked with any government entity at any level you’d see how flawed, inefficient, and broken the system is.
Government contracts out everything to the lowest builder. Yeah we get “more” for our money, which in turns fucks us in the long term as our infrastructure is compromised in different ways, and once it’s truly tested you’ll see the cracks form and the eventual collapse.
What does this mean for the US military going forward? Idk, but it gives me the same vibes we were seeing with Russia back in 2022, all of us expecting a steam roll and huge military force and it turned out to be a gigantic flop.
3·8 days agoAnd you can also lookup which games are DRM free on Steam and copy those for a backup.
Don’t get me wrong, I love GOG and own many games and have backups of my own, but if you’re that paranoid(that steam will go belly up and everything deleted) then you might as well not buy any games and just pirate everything.
Yeah, every store everywhere has that same conundrum.
If you really wanted to “own” the game, then pirate it and keep a copy on a NAS somewhere.
But at that point we’re just arguing semantics.
All companies everywhere have old people. So don’t buy into any company!
Stupid comment
This is what I was looking into recently. I just want to replace my shitty Spectrum router.
I was looking at Topton N150s on AliExpress, but $250+(tax/shipping) is terrible, with no RAM.
I saw people using the Lenovo m720q/m920q with a pcie 4 port, so I’m leaning towards that.
We’re about to get fiber in the next year or two, so I want to get something that can handle 1g up and down.
There’s a lot of options, none perfect, but none terrible.
1·11 days agoYeah this is where I’m at. Even an old thin client with like 4 cores and 8GBs of RAM is more than enough for the majority of home users. Find one with two NICs or a small pcie slot, slap in a 4 port and you’re smooth sailing.
I plan on building exactly this soon and throw opnsense on it
Not trying to be “pro America” here, but whenever I see these stories I read the article and nobody ever mentions how much in taxes they pay as a US Citizen abroad.
Because right now, you pay zero income tax until you make $130k or more. If you make under that, you file and you get the foreign exclusion credit. And that’s for a single individual. If you’re married and you both work, it’s double at $260k.
And if you use a service like FreeTaxUSA, you can file for free federally.
I just did my taxes and it cost me $20.
There is zero reason to renounce your US Citizenship unless you’re making a fuck load of money and have zero plans on ever coming back to the USA.
I think one of the best things I’ve done recently was setup a freshrss instance and grab all of the websites I’m interested in that have RSS feeds.
Now I’m pretty much only using Lemmy to argue with people and go to my rss instance to read the news.
It comes with ublock installed by default, it also defaults to having certain features enabled by default like clearing cookies on browser exit, letter boxing enabled, and webgl disabled. This may or may not hamper your usage of the browser, but you can enable/disable this stuff via the settings.
You can also go to the Firefox extension marketplace and install extensions natively.
What’s the point of having the experience when our memory deteriorates?
See how stupid that argument sounds?
Guess what, you can do both!
The Xbone is what made me go PC full time.
Been a Xbox gamer since the original Xbox with Halo CE. LAN parties galore. Halo 2 and the beginning of Xbox Live was amazing. Bought a X360 at launch, got Gears and Crackdown for the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. Halo 3 was peak.
And then Xbone announced. Always online. Kinect required. “Sports” “Live TV”. Yeah, not falling for that. “Can’t just flip a switch”.
Yeah I cancelled my Xbox Live sub and built a PC. 2500K with a 550ti. Haven’t looked back since. All of my friends in our group did the same, but some bought a PS4 as well for the SP games.
Microsoft just doesn’t care. They have enough money to not care. But the writing has been on the wall for a long time for Xbox and I’d be genuinely surprised if they release another console and I’d be even more surprised if anyone actually buys it. It’s a dead ecosystem.
The last two links are drives.
I linked the NAS over and over from different storefronts as a petty response.
I know what diskless is. My entire original post has a paragraph explicitly saying to buy a NAS and drives and their prices, because shocker I searched for current prices of items before posting my original comment, so then I’m not caught talking out of my ass like some other commenters are doing here in response to my post.
Like the other commenter said, there isn’t a LibreWolf for android, but I am using IronFox and it’s been fine. I don’t see a huge improvement or anything, but I don’t see any degradation either. So, so far it’s been a fine alternative.
I didn’t miss his point. I wrote what the price of the drives are, he said nope, and I linked drives for that price.
Idk what to say to you other than you’re being intentionally flippant. These are very simply things to search for online. The fact that I linked items proving my price claims are accurate and you sit there and move the goal posts and change the subject is the most moronic thing I have ever seen.
Go touch some grass and then find something else to occupy your time with.

Using Mediawiki here.
I have obsidian and tried using it, but my personal workflow for my homelab just doesn’t…work with it? Idk, it’s just easier to throw it into a private wiki.
I still use obsidian but for personal life stuff.
