What a nice time to be a fan of strategy genre

I was going a long way, until I built a perfect AwesomeWM configuration for myself, and have not changed it for a while now. I am willing to switch to Wayland-based solution now, as it seems to be a bit more performant, but I just can’t make myself to do it: my config is really cozy and working

I will never understand, why designers love the grids so much these days. Sometimes I am literally blind for a game in collection, and end up searching for it using software keyboard on my Deck :/

Totally. The only kinda downside is that it has frozen root partition, so you have to work around if you want some console utilities. Not a problem for most people, though — mostly for folks that prefer console over GUI, like me.

Well, the issue is that when you are being rewarded for the work you are doing, the motivation for why you are doing it changes: and the higher is the reward, the less you stay interested in doing things (with very rare exceptions). That was noticed during some researches [wanted to reference some, though can’t find links quickly], and it kind of makes a definition of “work” to work differently than “have a passion and you won’t work a day”.

That is a reason why we need this distinction: not all people need to be incentivised by money for literally everythign they do. Sometimes people need to do something just because they want to, over what they need to to get going with their lives.

Neither am I. It’s just sad…

RCS is a really nice thing in principle, because SMS/MMS infrastructure is just awfully outdated from security standpoint.

Though, replacing SMS/MMS infrastructure which is internetless yet cross-carrier by making it a internet-first and tied to a single meta-carrier under the hood kind of defeats the purpose overall. There was an attempt to build an independent carrier-deployable implementation of RCS, yet it turned out to be bought off by Google :(

They have been for a while now. It’s just that now it kind of becomes obvious

You can always keep moderate care of the property: just not too much. Forests, for example, need to be tendered, and (unexpectedly) sometimes trees have to be cut — to make more space for animals to thrive (not just humans), to other plants to grow.

I love sunflowers. Though the sunflower has the same issue of sucking the ground dry of the nutrients, you will need to keep rotating the place, otherwise it will take everything from the ground to the state that nothing will grow there for years.

This is gold, I think I should print it out and put on my desk :D

Awesome, I’ve been watching this game development — it is really a great one. I enjoyed playing demo so much times, great it is released finally!

I like systemd overall. The ease of use, uniform interface and nice documentation is awesome.

Though each time I try to run it on outdated hardware (say, my Thinkpad X100e, which is, well, a life choice xD) — it makes whole system much slower. IMO, openrc is not as bad, and in some ways it gives some capabiilties of systemd these days.

My understanding of Keybase is that it was some kind identity aggregator. You were able to link identities not just by keys, but also by external services, like Twitter (at a time), email and other things.

I’d prefer not to dual boo, but it might be the safest way to start? If I dual boot, get used to Linux and (hopefully) get everything I need working, can I then go from dual boot to erasing the Windows partition and recombining so I then only have Linux installed and can keep the work and programs I already installed on Linux?

My personal experience says: try dualbooting first, because it will make you to have a working machine continuously. Taking into account that all Linux-based OS behave vastly differently from MS Windows, it is possible to break things, when learning a new way of doing things.

The drives for my server are NTFS. Does anyone have experience with this format on Linux (I use Emby)?

I’ve been using an external NTFS drive for compatibility and big files storage: works as charm. The worst case scenario is you will need to install an ntfs-3g driver, although it is usually included with the distro.

As for production: I don’t have much experience with that, although I can recommend you looking around tooling that solves the problem. You will need quite a bit of patience and trying things, because switching platform will definitely require you to make some shifts in usual processes you have now. Don’t expect things to be obvious 100% replacement: unfortunately lots of people have this expectation, and get frustrated.

As for hardware, just looking the model up on the internet with adding “linux”, or “ubuntu”, or “fedora” should do the trick of figuring out if it will work.

Recently bought and playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R the legends series. I am extremely pleased by quality of the release and the experience I am having!

Exactly my feeling each time I get back on personal PC/laptop after whole day of working with Mac.

Was worth for me to upgrade 64GiB to 1TiB :)

Black Mesa, Witcher 3 on high graphics quality setup. Generally, I tend to lower the quality just to increase the battery life: anyways I usually don’t notice very much of graphical improvement on high setup.
