  • Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42
  • The episodic rollout of SQ42 is presumed to be a way to inject new cash into the studio alongside reported plans to release higher priced ships and the rumored third game.

    What?... Higher priced ships? You've got to be joking...

    One of my favorite ships in the game, the Drake Corsair, is already $250. It's a great all-rounder, but it's not even a large ship comparitively! And they're going to start charging more for the newer ships?!

    They just released a new ship as well, the RSI Zeus MKII, which is yet another $175. And that doesn't even mention some of the larger ships like the Anvil Carrack, sitting at an insane $600, and the Origin 890 Jump at $950...

    And if that's not bad enough, they've had concept ships for years available for purchase in the $1,500-$2,000 range. How can these ships get more expensive?

  • So if working at McDonald's is now a form of punishment... What's that saying about the job itself even if you are being paid?

    At what point can you be paid a low enough wage to where you're essentially working at McDonald's as a punishment for existing? Very weird standard their setting with this decision...

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
  • Server to host media. Super easy to set up and can run on a Windows client. Don't even need an independent server to run it on. https://jellyfin.org/

    https://kodi.tv/ (or https://libreelec.tv/ for an OS that boots to just Kodi)

    Application to watch through Kodi https://github.com/jellyfin/jellycon

    Client to run Kodi on: MeLE PCG02 Mini PC Stick https://a.co/d/1EGnekO

    If you didn't want to install LibreELEC to the PC and just want to keep Windows, you could run Kodi in Kiosk mode and it would boot directly to it just like LibreELEC.

    I have not watched normal TV in years, let alone an ad on my TV. I spoke to my neighbors one day and figured out they were paying ~$60 a month for all their streaming services, and they're STILL getting ads...

    Stuff like this is unacceptable, and I refuse to partake in the lunacy and delusion that is modern television.

  • Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status”
  • Observers on social media compared the platform’s name “We” to the highly influential 1921 dystopian novel of the same name by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin.

    They actually couldn't choose a different name than the novel that was written specifically about this very dystopian subject? Did they use it as inspiration? Because that seems more than coincidence...

  • [Bazzite] Fedora Kinoite Duplex Printing Issue
  • How would I do that? When trying to add my printer, it wouldn't let me continue unless I selected a printer model

    Edit: I found the generic printer option under the model selection. However, when I select it, the paper goes through the printer but nothing is printed

  • [Bazzite] Fedora Kinoite Duplex Printing Issue

    Hello! I use Bazzite Linux with KDE, and I'm having some issues with duplex printing on my system.

    I have a Brother HL-L2300D, and I've already installed the drivers for it. Brother provides an install script for their driver on their website, but because my system is rpm-ostree based and immutable, I would get rpm-ostree errors and the installation would fail.

    I found a Reddit post yesterday that suggested running sudo rpm-ostree install printer-driver-brlaser, which worked and I was able to connect to the printer and configure everything as needed.

    However, when I try to print on both sides of the page, the back side of the page prints upside-down. I've tried changing the setting for which edge to flip when printing (portrait/landscape), and it doesn't seem to change anything. I printed the same document on a Windows machine on this printer, and it went through just fine, so I've isolated the problem down to the CUPS server that my machine is running.

    If there's any more information I can provide, please let me know. I've tried the troubleshooting steps I know and have reached the limit of my knowledge.

    If you use Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora, or any other Universal Blue image (including our toolboxes) then you need to follow the instructions in this announcement in order to ensure that your device is getting updates.

  • Stack of floppy disks: Am I a joke to you?
  • Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

  • [Help] Unable to write files to an SMB share on a NAS
  • That unfortunately didn't work, but I really do appreciate your response.

    I just had to add an entry for my uid and then "forceuid", and it worked!

  • [Help] Unable to write files to an SMB share on a NAS
  • That worked! Thank you very much!

  • [Help] Unable to write files to an SMB share on a NAS

    Edit: I found the solution! All I had to do was add the uid with my username, then I also had to add "forceuid" for it to actually go through. My fstab entry now looks like:

    //192.168.1.21/Media-Library /mnt/Home-NAS/Media-Library cifs user=Jellyfin,password=password,uid=my_uid,forceuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0

    Thank you @lemmyreader@lemmy.ml for posting the solution from Stack Exchange!

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello! I have an Ubuntu server with a NAS mounted using cifs-utils, and I've created an entry in fstab for the share to be mounted at boot.

    My fstab entry looks like this:

    //192.168.1.21/Media-Library /mnt/Home-NAS/Media-Library cifs user=Jellyfin,password=password,iocharset=utf8 0 0

    (The password is not actually "password" of course)

    However, while I'm able to access the share perfectly fine, and even have a Jellyfin server reading from it, I cannot write files to the share without using sudo. I have some applications that manage metadata for music, and they're not able to change or add files in any way.

    I am however able to access the share from my Fedora machine just fine with the same credentials, since I use KDE, I just added them to the default "Windows Share Credentials" setting. I don't have the issue where I have to use sudo to modify files, so I know it's just an issue with the share mounted to the server and not permission issues on the NAS itself.

    What am I doing wrong?

  • Got this one in Austin. Took it with my phone so it's not that great, but still a super cool moment.
