Sharmat,

If you had asked last week, I’d say seemed like it did. But two days ago gkasdorf made some commits, so it’s probably still alive, they just took a break.

Sharmat,

Yup, there is one.

It’s pretty decent, however the story is completely different from the books aside from the basic motifs and character names.

Sharmat,

With some more time, the other 5% will follow suit.

Sharmat,

This is also the CEO that, once upon a time, worked in EA and had the brilliant idea of suggesting a micro transaction to reload your gun in Battlefield.

Sharmat,

I don’t know the website, was just the first link that popped off when I searched for the quote. But here’s the recording of that portion of the speech, if you prefer.

Sharmat,

Starfield also released simultaneously in Gamepass, unlike Fallout 4, which is probably playing a big part in the “low” numbers.

Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

I personally wouldn’t recommend Manjaro, they’ve some questionable decisions and even failed to do some basic things, like failing to renew their SSL certificate, which happened at least twice.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding openSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

Well, the two aren’t all that different. openSUSE has an better installer, which offers even full disk encryption, automated partitioning for disks in BTRFS with backups enabled. One big plus I can see in openSUSE’s favour is YaST, the graphical utility for system configuration, and allows you to configure nearly everything in a GUI.

Arch, memes aside, is relatively stable in my experience, only having problems once or twice with Nvidia drivers. I think that Arch’s biggest advantage is the AUR. Also one big plus of it’s install method is that if you read the documentation during the install process, and try to understand it, you’ll get a much clearer picture of how a linux system works in the “backend”.

Both distros are rolling, and the speed that packages arrive in zypper (openSUSE’s package manager) vs pacman (Arch’s) is rather small in my opinion. Personally, I lean more towards openSUSE, but both are good.

15 hours in, I'm loving it!

It’s a Bethesda RPG in space. If you’re looking for No Man’s Sky, it isn’t that. If you’re looking for Elite Dangerous, it isn’t that. But it is a BSG RPG, just like I’ve been playing since Morrowind, and it really scratches that itch. I like the characters I’ve met, I’ve enjoyed exploring, and I’m starting...

Sharmat,

It’s been pretty fun so far, yeah. It’s just what I was expecting pretty much, an Bethesda game (and fallout 4 to a greater extent), in space.

Just wish they’d added a proper map instead of that scan line lookalike.

Sharmat,

Going by the previous games, should work eventually. Seems, however, that there is a bug in either proton or the game itself that makes it fail to launch at the moment in NVIDIA cards.

Sharmat,

I started first in 2012-ish with Linux. That’s when I first heard of it, and decided to spin an VM with Ubuntu 12.04. Though initially I didn’t use it in real hardware for sometime, eventually I did install Fedora and been pretty happy ever since. Nowadays mostly use openSUSE and Arch.

Sharmat,

Usually, Denuvo is mentioned in the EULA of the games, so going by this metric, it’s unlikely for it to have Denuvo since there’s no mention of it.

Sharmat,

Definitely the best form ever made, no funky things going on with it, at all… (/s)

Sharmat,

These days, mostly Lemmy as a social media. I do have an instagram account I use too, but mostly because my circle of friends are all completely addicted to it, and they send me stuff all the time. I used to use a reddit a lot, was my go to time killer app, but since the whole debacle I’ve barely used it and been mostly here.

Sharmat,

What’s wrong with Authy?

Sharmat, (edited )

No, you don’t need a VPN If you open the port that plex uses. Then users can just log on their accounts and it should pull everything!

Edit for accuracy.

Sharmat,

Nvm, I misread your question. Using a VPN is only necessary if your server is behind a CGNAT or your ISP disallows you to open ports manually.

Sharmat,

Anyone has a link to what prompted this response?

Sharmat, (edited )

At first, I was running in a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB model, and it ran fine but my ISP provided router is terrible and is also behind a CGNAT, so for it to work was always a pain.

Now, I’ve picked up a VPS, it’s running:

  • 4 vCPUs of an Xeon E5-2695 v4
  • 4GBs of RAM
  • 100GB of NVMe SSD

And the media is still in my raspberry pi, running a 4TB HDD, and is connect to the VPS via a samba share folder.

Sharmat, (edited )

About $7 USD per month, with unlimited bandwidth.

Sharmat,

Hardware transcoding, if your hardware has support for it, the ability to analyse media and skip intros and HDR tone mapping mostly.

Sharmat, (edited )

I have Plex Pass, since the early days when lifetime was much cheaper, and never had any trouble with HDR specifically like you said. And I’m the only one with Plex Pass, everyone else in the free tier.

Here’s the support link if you’d lime to read more about.

Sharmat,

Also adding Lutris, it’s a wrapper for wine, and with it, you can download game normally like you would in windows, run the installer and then play it.

Sharmat,

I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.

Sharmat,

You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.

Sharmat,

For steam, there is also this curator that marks it.

Sharmat,

No, you’re not. It’s for whenever you’re browsing games on steam, like the discovery queue or when there’s a big sale, it will show up before the description if it has, like this.

Sharmat,

First, create an account in GitHub if you don’t already have one.

Then go to the offical code for Memmy here and create your own fork of it.

Then, after you’ve done, you can create a pull request (i.e. a request to have your code added to the official repo), see here for an example.

Sharmat,

Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.

Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.

Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.

Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.

They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.

Sharmat, (edited )

Your best bet might be probably NTFS, just install ntfs-3g and use that as the file system type when mounting, it should work fine.

Though it will be slower than in windows.

Sharmat, (edited )

The one about Retournal is easily one of my favourites too.

What is the best way to get books/things to read for free/cheap?

So im usally am stuck at home but ive never felt like rading but i also want to learn somethign new. i was thinking i should read a how to book or, (blank) for dummies but i do online school, i cant drive because im afraid and i tend to freak out when going somewhere becasue i have autism....

Sharmat,

Project Gutenberg is a great source for books that have entered the public domain.

Actual Hidden Gems on Steam

I love obscure and overlooked games and want to share a bunch with all of you. Most “hidden gem” threads end up listing titles with thousands of reviews or that got some level of marketing. I aim to mostly avoid that. While you may see a few familiar games here, everything in the list below has under 1500 reviews on Steam...

Sharmat, (edited )

The Age of Decadence is CRPG set in a post-apocalypse ish, in which an analogue to the Roman Empire ruled most of the world until the collapse of civilisation, now it’s mostly city states struggling to survive and reclaim the old magitek of the empire.

Underrail: Life on earth’s surface has been made inhospitable ages ago, and the remains of humanity now live in the metro system called underrail and the caverns around it.

Both are isometric, turn based games that focus on combat and exploration. And they are hard. Builds are incredibly important, almost min maxing but they have a wide range of viable builds, especially the first one where you can play the entire game without fighting a single battle, all through alternative solutions and skill checks.

Sharmat,

No actually, I didn’t knew it was a thing. Added to my wishlist for when it’s released.

Sharmat,

Do you have a link? I’ve just searched and it didn’t show up for me.

Sharmat,

I think you might be overthink this a tad too much, sure it can give you more problems the Windows but, in my 10 years of using it, most of the time it works fine. Pop is a decent starting place, with NVIDIA drivers being pre-installed if memory serves right, and it also has a graphical interface for installing and updating apps.

As for the terminal, it’s incredibly powerful and versatile, but you don’t need to learn and use it all at once, take small steps. Learn first the update command, the basics like cd (change directory), ls (list files and/or folders), cat (concatenate files and output to terminal), etc. Over time you’ll get the hang of the more advanced stuff.

Sharmat,

I’d say the Donation of Constantine

It was a forged Imperial Roman decree supposedly from Emperor Constantine the Great, which gave all temporal power over the Western Roman Empire to the Pope. Now, how is this important? This was how the papacy came into possession of the Lateran Palace, which was the Pope’s residence for much of history. It also served as the justification for the pope to break the formal convention of the five episcopal sees (i.e in the early church, Rome was just one of the important seats of power, the others were: Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch and all had equal authority) and declare itself supreme over the other centres. It also played an important role in the events of the Great Schism of 1054 (which formally separated the Western Latin church from the Eastern Greek church) and the investiture crisis in the 11th to 13th centuries.

Sharmat,

While I’d love a Morrowind remaster (not remake), it’s incredibly unlikely since Todd Howard himself is against it.

Sharmat,

Also, the teams behind ESO and the mainline titles are not the same. The main team that made Skyrim, Oblivion and the others is focused on Starfield now, and probably for the next three-ish years with the post-release content.

All programs should tell you where they store config files (utcc.utoronto.ca)

I wholeheartedly agree with this blog post. I believe someone on here yesterday was asking about config file locations and setting them manually. This is in the same vein. I can't tell you how many times a command line method for discovering the location of a config file would have saved me 30 minutes of googling.

Sharmat,

It would be amazing yeah, standardising all user config files in the $HOME, and maybe etc/ or an default, non usable, user profile to store the original versions, in case of a bad config or corrupted file would save so much time debugging stuff.

Sharmat,

In November 2020, Marak had warned that he will no longer be supporting the big corporations with his “free work” and that commercial entities should consider either forking the projects or compensating the dev with a yearly “six figure” salary.

Honestly, I do think he has a point here. These are corporations that use FOSS to make millions off of it, but contribute nothing back, either in code or in monetary support. While I don’t condone his means to try to get that (i.e.intentionally breaking compatibility), he is morally justified in this request.
