Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

Jump

  • I used to only do something called "surfing" in the Counter-Strike: Source days.

    There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.

    • People who tried Elden Ring, is the game really that difficult?

    Jump

  • Short answer, yes.

    Longer answer, it's a game of patience and learning patterns. You will die... a lot. If you don't like struggling for an hour, sometimes a few hours, on the same boss, then you probably won't like the game.

    It is more forgiving than Dark Souls though.

    I love the game. Learning those patterns and finally defeating whatever it is you're fighting is the reward.

    • Well it's JSON so what can go wrong.

    Jump

  • I think they're pointing out that Python outputs E notation vs JavaScript which outputs the decimal notation.

    Edit: Wasn't agreeing with it, just explaining what they were pointing out.

  • How far along is this? Last time I checked it out is was no where near ready.

    • Mozilla Announce Leadership Changes, Plans to 'Diversify' - OMG! Ubuntu

    Jump

  • I am not agreeing with it, but just trying to get people to use anything other than the status quo when it comes to software/apps... If it has an odd name, they are less likely to use it.

    Firefox was similar back in the mid 2000s.

  • Any idea what the story is behind that name? I feel like it will be off putting to some people.

  • I'm a Linux user and that infographic scares me

    • Is there any way I can realistically send a message to Donald Trump and have him read it?

    • A billboard in DC or someplace he is visiting
    • A TV commercial on Fox news
    • Go to a rally and hold up a sign

    • [Question] Does this iptables rule cause unnecessary routing?

    Jump

  • Okay! Awesome, just wanted to make sure. And making the 172.18.0.0/16 subnet available is something I didn't think about (obviously) so that's good to know.

    Thank you for your detailed response!

    • [Question] Does this iptables rule cause unnecessary routing?

    Jump

  • The self hosted web interface tool I use called Pterodactyl Game Server Panel uses docker and iptables when it creates the game servers.

    I'm just trying to add some additional routing since I'm using wireguard.

  • I've tried a ton, and DeltaChat came close, but there is no edit option for messages, since under the hood, it uses email. The apps on both iPhone and Android also had issues with notifications. I convinced a few family members and friends to use it and then had to convince them again to move to Signal. Lost a few of them in the process.

    The point of my story is to say... If you think you'll have a hard time convincing people to get off WhatsApp/Texting, just go to Signal. It is much more mainstream and at least it isn't Facebook.

  • Tech-savvy content creators, sure...

    Your average content creator that wants to make Minecraft videos? Unrealistic.

    I hate the monopoly Youtube has, but all of the federated alternatives have a learning curve the general public isn't willing to deal with.

  • Pretty sure they're getting the internet hug of death atm.

    • Alright you nerds, I made the jump to Linux.

    Jump

  • For Marvel Rivals

    LD_PRELOAD='' fixed stuttering for me (but this also disables the steam overlay so you'll need to remove it to make purchases in game)

    SteamDeck=1 fixed crashes when booting the game

    Haven't tried the update since I'm away from home though.

  • Looks fine on Jerboa

    • Arch-Based Distros Dominate the Linux Gaming Scene

    Jump

  • I tried a few distros this year. Landed on vanilla arch using KDE Plasma. Love it so far. Unfortunately I do some hobbyist stuff with Fusion 360 and my friends and I started playing PUBG again so i need to boot into my windows partition for those.

    • Search for a note taking app (solved)

    Jump

  • I know this says "Solved" but you should look into Gitjournal. You can use the one free private repo from gitlab to connect to. Just use vscode or similar on PC and Gitjournal on your phone. Version controlled notes, file based instead of database, can organize on PC via folders (Gitjournal recognizes the folders, don't think it can create them though). I absolutely love it.

    • FOSS alternative to Google Keep

    Jump

  • I was using Joplin for a while... Self hosted their server. On two occasions it screwed up on me and wouldn't load my folders... Luckily I had backups but it was still frustrating. I don't recommend them purely because the notes are stored in a custom format instead of just plain text files.

    My favorite way of doing notes now is with git, currently using a free private repo on gitlab.

    Just clone the repo on whatever PC I need them and it has backups and version control.

    Then use GitJournal on my phone.

    It's perfect for me. I love it.
