New Elite Dangerous spaceship is advertised as a space trucker's dream, but it'll cost ya
  • I know people still enjoy this game quite a bit and my opinion shouldn't take anything from that, but this pattern of finally adding new ships to the game but putting them behind "ARX Early Access" is really predatory. I have a hunch that this is done to "encourage" more players to spend cash in the ARX store, but ships shouldn't be the mechanism to do that.

  • Darksiders Teaser
  • Interesting. For a long time we didn't have a God of War on PC (not counting emulators), then I discovered DarkSiders could fill that void. I played the first two to 100%, but I thought THQ Nordic was done with the series. Really glad to see I was wrong there.

  • Boogie Down Productions - My Philosophy (Official HD Video)

    By All Means Necessary was the first record I bought. Every track on that album is solid

    Fresh for '88... you SUCKAS.

    Sites for game guides?
  • Yeah this along with Neoseeker have been my go-to for decades now

  • Codeium - Copilot competitor
  • Just want to chime in that I've seen TabbyML used a fair bit at work. Tabby in particular can run locally on M1/M2/M3 and uses the Neural Engine via CoreML. The performance hit isn't noticeable at all and most of what we use it for (large autocompletes in serialized formats) it excels at.

  • What are your thoughts about the Dragon Quest series, what are your favorite titles or gameplay elements?
  • I've only played a few of the older titles. I was introduced to the series with DQ8 on the PS2 and really liked it. I played DQ9 a few times and enjoyed it. I played both the DQMJ games on the NDS and had a lot of fun with them. Honestly I had the most fun with the DQMJ games.

  • ‘Wacko PM’: Canadian opposition leader ejected for Trudeau insult
  • From the article:

    Fergus told Poilievre he was disregarding the speaker’s authority and, in an unusual move, said: “I order to you to withdraw from the House … for the remainder of this day’s sitting.

  • What are you playing this week? April 29 2024 Edition
  • Grabbed Manor Lords this weekend and haven't put it down since. Pretty solid for a city builder.

  • So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops?
  • Hey just to ptich in my two cents. Our shop is running a very similar setup (Enterprise FinTech, MAU is around 100-200m across all sites), with Ubuntu and Rocky on k8s with all workstations running MacOS and Windows since compliance policies are easy to apply to both. I can vouch for Ubuntu LTS given other options. Doesn't require a support contract, really solid security patch cycles and everything runs without issues.

    Also unsure of using Linux as a workstation solution since at the time of setup, all the viable distos required you to either manually roll a compliance solution, or use their specific sometimes built-in solutions (see RHEL). That may have changed in the passed few years though.

  • Music Players
  • I use Plexamp on my phone, but I use ncmpcpp and mpd on my towers and laptop. I think both players suite my purposes well.

  • Thunderbird goes from DEB to snap in Ubuntu 24.04
  • Ugh had a similar experience at work related to the chromium package. In our case it had to do with the arm64 build of chromium in an environment that can't run snaps (docker), so we were pretty much entirely without a solution.

  • Your first distribution
  • My first non-family PC was a Acer netbook with Linpus [Lite] Linux. I was 12, so my first priority was trying to get Rollercoaster Tycoon to work. Eventually I realized how silly that prospect was and instead managed to install Windows XP via a bootable USB. I used XP for a while until Vista came out, and then I gave Linux Mint a try and really liked it. These days I'm using NixOS and Fedora.

  • Is there an advantage of using doas over sudo
  • 6,054.0 kB, not 6 vs 14.0 kB

  • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
  • I switched from i3 to sway about 3(ish?) years ago now and haven't looked back. I've had very few issues with it and frankly it's been solid for me

  • Dragon's Dogma 2 released on Steam [mixed reviews so far]
  • So $70 + MTX for poor optimization, bugs, and linear gameplay. Glad I passed on this.

  • Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?
  • I originally used namecheap but moved over to porkbun about 2 years ago now. I've really enjoyed their service since the move. The two instances where I needed to contact support were great. Issues were resolved very quick and responses weren't days apart like namecheap.

  • Which one do you prefer? htop, btop or top?
  • Thanks for the share. Never heard of this until now and the Temperature Sensor and Disk Utilization widgets are awesome.

  • Full Stack Programmer Doing Frontend
  • In my experience, that bottom image is equally applicable when Front End devs go Full Stack lol

  • Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy
  • All I know is, my gut says maybe.

  • What are some common misconceptions about programming that you'd like to debunk?
  • You don't need to be a hacker to find those problems. You need to be a good detective. All good programmers are detectives.

  • What is being done to make Flatpaks better integrate into the system
  • I usually grant ro permissions for ~/.themes and ~/.icons on all applications to get consistent themes and cursors across my flatpak apps.
