aksdb,

Warum sind die Flaschen überhaupt siffig? Da ich die bei mir kurz durchspüle und wieder verschließe, sifft da nix.

aksdb,

Ah, stimmt. Die hatte ich nicht auf dem Schirm.

aksdb,

Wasser rein, schütteln/schwenken, Wasser raus, Deckel drauf, wegstellen.

aksdb,

Oh nein, 50ml oder so werden die Talsperre gefährden. /s

Oder man hält die scheiß Flasche halt einfach kurz mit ins Aufwaschbecken, wo ja während des Aufwaschs eh Wasser drin ist, zum Aufwaschen.

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

aksdb,

Yeah but businesses typically don’t go out and rub that in their customers faces. That’s basically what most of the complaints are about: Bethesda should just shut the fuck up and swallow their pride. Is some/most of the stuff people throw at them unfair? Likely. Is it completely unwarranted? No. Should they defend it? Also no.

aksdb,

I would consider Todd Howard to be part of development (since he directs the creative and narrative angle, from what I understand).

He defended bad performance with “get better hardware”. He defended criticism of the content with “you play the game wrong”.

Both are bullshit “excuses”. The first one was even debunked by modders who showed that there was potential for optimization. And modders are far more limited than engine devs. The game doesn’t look ugly, but there are far better looking games with more scene complexity out there that run better.

And “you play it wrong” is bullshit because if enough people play it wrong to have an effect on the rating of the game, then the game is badly designed. Part of game design is making sure the game explains itself or subtly pulls players in the right direction. Either they failed with that, or there simply is no clear direction. But that’s not the players fault.

aksdb,

Part of the reason might be that a serif font for something viewed on screen is in most cases (this one included) just out of place.

aksdb,

I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.

Players who don't like survival games as a genre: Which survival games are your personal exceptions, which ones have you enjoyed nonetheless and why?

Personally, I really don’t like most of these games due to the tedium and frustration that comes with hunger/thirst mechanics. Most of the exceptions that I do actually like either make up for it through something else that elevates the experience enough - or they either don’t have these mechanics or allow for players to...

aksdb,

I can second that. Valheim has a very neat balance between exploring, fighting and building. If you don’t progress to quick, even your base is relatively safe. Although I now have turned off raids completely. So my base is always safe and if I want action, I can venture out into the world. I like that.

aksdb,

Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.

aksdb,

There’s nothing wrong with UDP. At least not that I know of.

aksdb,

Dass es wie geschmiert läuft?

aksdb,

Don’t let it cool too much, though.

As with every software/product: they have different features.

ZFS is not really hip. It’s pretty old. But also pretty solid. Unfortunately it’s licensed in a way that is maybe incompatible with the GPL, so no one wants to take the risk of trying to get it into Linux. So in the Linux world it is always a third-party-addon. In the BSD or Solaris world though …

btrfs has similar goals as ZFS (more to that soon) but has been developed right inside the kernel all along, so it typically works out of the box. It has a bit of a complicated history with it’s stability/reliability from which it still suffers (the history, not the stability). Many/most people run it with zero problems, some will still cite problems they had in the past, some apparently also still have problems.

bcachefs is also looming around the corner and might tackle problems differently, bringing us all the nice features with less bugs (optimism, yay). But it’s an even younger FS than btrfs, so only time will tell.

ext4 is an iteration on ext3 on ext2. So it’s pretty fucking stable and heavily battle tested.

Now why even care? ZFS, btrfs and bcachefs are filesystems following the COW philisophy (copy on write), meaning you might lose a bit performance but win on reliability. It also allows easily enabling snapshots, which all three bring you out of the box. So you can basically say “mark the current state of the filesystem with tag/label/whatever ‘x’” and every subsequent changes (since they are copies) will not touch the old snapshots, allowing you to easily roll back a whole partition. (Of course that takes up space, but only incrementally.)

They also bring native support for different RAID levels making additional layers like mdadm unnecessary. In case of ZFS and bcachefs, you also have native encryption, making LUKS obsolete.

For typical desktop use: ext4 is totally fine. Snapshots are extremely convenient if something breaks and you can basically revert the changes back in a single command. They don’t replace a backup strategy, so in the end you should have some data security measures in place anyway.

*Edit: forgot a word.

aksdb,

It likely has an edge. But I think on SSDs the advantage is negligible. Also games have the most performance critical stuff in-memory anyway so the only thing you could optimize is read performance when changing scenes.

Here are some comparisons: www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.14-File-Systems

But again … practically you can likely ignore the difference for desktop usage (also gaming). The workloads where it matters are typically on servers with high throughput where latencies accumulate quickly.

aksdb,

For fileservers ZFS (and by extension btrfs) have a clear advantage. The main thing is, that you can relatively easily extend and section off storage pools. For ext4 you would need LVM to somewhat achieve something similar, but it’s still not as mighty as what ZFS (and btrfs) offer out of the box.

ZFS also has a lot of caching strategies specifically optimized for storage boxes. Means: it will eat your RAM, but become pretty fast. That’s not a trade-off you want on a desktop (or a multi purpose server), since you typically also need RAM for applications running. But on a NAS, that is completely fine. AFAIK TrueNAS defaults to ZFS. Synology uses btrfs by default. Proxmox runs on ZFS.

aksdb,

ZFS cache will mark itself as such, so if the kernel needs more RAM for applications it can just dump some of the ZFS cache and use whatever it needs.

In theory. Practically unless I limit the max ARC size, processes get OOM killed quite frequently here.

aksdb,

wieder richtig kommunizieren

Du meinst statt den Problemen ins Gesicht zu sehen und die Probleme zu benennen (wie es z.B. Habeck macht) lieber wieder alles schön-reden und so tun, als wäre nichts?

Wir hatten vor den Grünen lange keine Partei, die sich so offen mit absoluten Scheiß-Themen rumschlägt/schlagen muss.

aksdb,

So if I put a movement sensor that triggers a light in front of a jewish household, they couldn’t leave on sabbath because their movement would trigger a fire?

aksdb,

Nope, you aren’t the only one.

It pisses me off each time, but I also expected it.

aksdb,

Or Battlestar Galactica. Create a new species, make them humanoid, make them sentient, and then treat them like shit. Great.

aksdb,

If the application in question doesn’t need to write anything, it also doesn’t write outside of docker, so it also won’t wear down the SD card.

If the app has to write something, a fully read-only container will simply not work (the app will crash or fail otherwise).

aksdb,

The point with an external drive is fine (I did that on my RPi as well), but the point with performance overhead due to containers is incorrect. The processes in the container run directly on the host. You even see the processes in ps. They are simply confined using cgroups to be isolated to different degrees.

aksdb,

To execute more than one process, you need to explicitly bring along some supervisor or use a more compicated entrypoint script that orchestrates this. But most container images have a simple entrypoint pointing to a single binary (or at most running a script to do some filesystem/permission setup and then run a single process).

Containers running multiple processes are possible, but hard to pull off and therefore rarely used.

What you likely think of are the files included in the images. Sure, some images bring more libs and executables along. But they are not started and/or running in the background (unless you explicitly start them as the entrypoint or using for example docker exec).

aksdb, (edited )

You can btw “simply” opt out from this in the settings (look for “featured content” and disable it).

Yes it should be opt-in, but it’s not that hard to keep the fire tv (stick) being a good device for the price paid.

aksdb,

I can still throw away my fire tv stick then. At the moment it still does the job I bought it for and I won’t produce unnecessary garbage for something that might happen in the future.

aksdb,

Westwood fits into that list.

aksdb,

Die “Kälte” die wir haben, kannst du sogar noch mit Kleidung ausgleichen. Die Hitze, die es stellenweise über viele Tage/Wochen schon gibt, kannst du nicht mehr ohne energieaufwändige (und umweltschädliche) Technik (Klimaanlagen) ausgleichen.

aksdb,

Da sie eine Premium-Version anbieten, könnte das Geschäftsmodell auch ohne Nutzer auszunutzen aufgehen.

aksdb,

Dann anders: der Letzten Generation unterstellt man praktisch Terrorismus, wohingegen der LKW Fahrer - also ein Berufskraftfahrer der regelmäßig seinen Führerschein auffrischen muss - angeblich nicht ob der Gefahr seines Gefährtes wissen kann. Schon absurd.

aksdb,

Was ich damit sagen wollte: bei so jemandem kann man jetzt weder unterstellen, dass er halt keine Fahrpraxis hat noch, dass sein Theoriewissen 60 Jahre zurück liegt. Wenn Oma Frida nach dem Tod ihres Mannes nach 40 Jahren das erste mal wieder am Steuer sitzt, kann man ja vlt. noch mit “die konnte das nicht einschätzen” abtun. (Auch wenn man selbst dann vlt. soviel Verstand verlangen sollte, dass man in dem Fall freiwillig auffrischt oder die Finger vom Auto lässt.) Aber bei einem Profi kann (und sollte, mMn) man schon härter vorgehen. Wenn man schon von einem Profi keinen sachgemäßen Umgang erwarten kann, wie zum Fick sollte man dann jemals von einem “Laien” irgendwas erwarten? Da kann man ja quasi bei jedem normalo Autofahrer Vorsatz einfach weglassen, weil “kann der ja nicht wissen, dass das passiert”.

aksdb,

I don’t blame the engine. There are other studios out there with custom engines that evolved over time. Also Creation Engine evolved a lot.

That they work with many connected scenes instead of a continuous world also has advantages … it allows them to easily change the “world” between scenes by simply linking you “back” to a different scene (for example city under siege which before the dialog was not under siege). It’s how they work. They could do the same shit with Unreal if they wanted to and if they believe this kind of game design is the only feasible for their story telling, they would shove it into another engine as well.

I also don’t think the game feels “old”. I do think it feels like it is conceptionally unfinished. They had many ideas and you can see a lot of different systems in the game (space fights, planets with different biomes, ship building, base building, and so on and so forth). Each of these systems in itself has some kind of concept, but all these systems together are missing a clear concept, IMO.

From what I know, game dev typically works in modules that get thrown together. And this also seems to be the case here. However the “big picture” wasn’t refined or they realized that it needs a ton of small adjustments all over the place (conceptionally AND technically) to make sense of it and it looks like they were not able to deal with the complexity of that.

As a result we have a game that is okayish. It tells some stories, and offers a lot of content, but it feels not nearly as stunning as it should have and it’s not on a single front ground breaking.

aksdb,

Shut up and take my money prayers

aksdb,

“In dem Fall 90°C mit Vorwäsche und Extraspülgang.”

aksdb,

Geht zu schnell.

aksdb,

Ich find’s genial, wie einfach mal nirgends dazu steht, wo man die überhaupt erwerben kann. Aber gut, soll ja was exklusives bleiben.

aksdb,

And it still is one of the best VR titles.

aksdb,

npm? So this uses electron? I essentially run a stripped down browser to render a fucking OSD? I can’t do that with good conscience.

aksdb,

If only GeForceNow was available there. And Kodi.

Hopefully the regulation by the EU fixes this, then I am on board.

aksdb,

I am fine with most of the game. It’s basically what I expected from a Bethesda game.

Two things stand out for me in different ways:

  1. The space travel feels implemented in a way that seems to show their helplessness in getting it right. It ends up with a weird mix of Freelancer and just lazy fast travel and the game doesn’t portrait a clear line for me what it would actually expect me to do with it and how they would like me to travel. Especially since even the “manual” travel involves a lot of kinda-fast-travel steps. It’s just weird.
  2. No maps in cities. It’s the damn future with space travel across the universe and they forgot how to cartograph cities or planets? Come on!
aksdb,

XMPP hat aber Extensions. Wenn man das als Grundlage für Interop anbieten will definiert man halt noch ein paar Extensions für die fehlenden Features und los geht’s.

aksdb,

Mind-sharing would be really nice.

aksdb,

Just FYI, if you want to enable and start, you can use systemctl enable --now ….

New Fedora Slimbook 14" joins the Fedora Slimbook 16" - Fedora Magazine (fedoramagazine.org)

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

aksdb,

I have an older InfinityBook and a slightly less older Pulse. What I hate about both is the noise. The fucking fans are so incredibly annoying. Also they are not just loud, they scale up in weird steps (not linear) making it seem like something’s attacking.

In consequence I use it with throttled CPU most of the time, but then even the desktop can become laggy.

Theoretically it’s nice hardware, practically I won’t get another.

aksdb,

As a kid another kid regularly bullied me. Nothing extremely serious… pushing me, grabbing me, putting me in a headlock, stuff like that whenever he felt like it and/or wanted something. Parents and teachers were not able to stop it and I basically just got retaliation. One day when he came at me I simply kicked and managed to hit right in his balls. He ran away crying. Never bothered me again afterwards. Still feels good.

aksdb,

Komma runter!

aksdb,

For nougat, the Milka stuff is better. If you want real chocolate, take Caotina.

aksdb,

Nah, I prefer to treat my math problems like climate change. With denial.
