Me? None. I just play for fun, I’d lose bad.

If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.

I have beat the game. I remember the gist of the solution, but I have no idea how to pull it off any more. I can’t wait to play it again, possibly with the VR mod.

When I was moving from a Windows NAS (God, fuck windows and its permissions management) on an old laptop to a Linux NAS I had to copy about 10TB from some drives to some other drives so I could re-format the drives as a Linux friendly format, then copy the data back to the original drives.

I was also doing all of this via terminal, so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds. I’m shocked I didn’t loose any data to be completely honest. Doing shit like that makes me marvel at modern GUIs.

Took about 3 days in copying files alone. When combined with all the other NAS setup stuff, ended up taking me about a week just in waiting for stuff to happen.

I cannot reiterate enough how fucking difficult it was to set up the Windows NAS vs the Ubuntu Server NAS. I had constant issues with permissions on the Windows NAS. I’ve had about 1 issue in 4 months on the Linux NAS, and it was much more easily solved.

The reason the laptop wasn’t a Linux NAS is due to my existing Plex server instance. It’s always been on Windows and I haven’t yet had a chance to try to migrate it to Linux. Some day I’ll get around to it, but if it ain’t broke… Now the laptop is just a dedicated Plex server and serves files from the NAS instead of local. It has much better hardware than my NAS, otherwise the NAS would be the Plex server.

It’s open source? Maybe I’ll make some PRs… But honestly that’s shocking to me and huge. Do I support Truth Social now? Wild.

Can confirm (via a insignifigant sample size anecdote)

We recently visited Canada, and not a populated part of it. Two lane highways to get everywhere. I think every single person with a Canadian license plate pulled over to let us pass at their earliest convenience when we came up behind them. No long line of cars. They pulled over just to let us pass. It was mind blowing, so fucking pleasant.

The sample size might be insignifigant, but I think I could count on one hand the amount of times that’s happened while driving on two lane highways in America, something I’ve been doing for years. Everyone thinks they’re driving the correct speed and you can fuck off if you think differently.

Make sure you count those windows backed kiosk things. Also, assuming you’re the techie of the family, no tech support this month.

I could be wrong, as I’m no expert, but cloud flare’s proxy limits file uploads to about 1GB. I had to disable it to upload larger videos to immich. For other services, probably decent advice.

Yeah, I do the same on the occasion that I post. Doesn’t solve the problem, at least hasn’t yet.

As soon as lemmy has a larger user base (or boost dies for good) I’ll kick it. There are so many communities on Reddit that don’t exist here, even though lemmy is obviously better.

Yeah, those two are debatable at best, but the other points sure make a lot of sense, and definitely have value. I say this as a SteamDeck user who never even considered the Ally for myself.

Just haven’t been caught yet maybe. Google and Apple have been in the news recently for not allowing references to external income sources within apps listed in the play/app store.

After a quick search I couldn’t find any other way to support the dev (unless it’s on their Twitter, which I found, but couldn’t see it unless I logged in, which I didn’t do)

I rarely find a situation where I need a feature that doesn’t exist that’s important enough to me to implement it myself. It’s a heck of a lot easier to just, for example, purchase things that already work with an existing home assistant integration.

I suppose I could contribute with bug fixes and such, but I have a lot of hobbies that I’m already busy with, and I do development work as my main job.

That’s a gatekeeper-y take. I tried Linux a few years back, so I guess I became a “real” tech geek a few years ago. Never mind the fact that I was 3/4 the way through a CS degree, I’d built my own computer, and was the go-to tech guy in my family. But nope, not yet a tech geek.

Yeah, I’m not sure what OP is on about or how they get away with it. I’d get phone calls for how to use outlook and MS word. I’m fortunate to have a fairly tech literate grandma, but she is old, which means set in her ways. She probably could use Linux, but she would not see the point in putting in the effort to switch habits.

Very helpful link, appreciate it.

If I did this they wouldn’t be my loved ones for long…

His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.

Someone can knowingly be an idiot.

I know you’re joking, but that’d likely encourage people to pick up the habit, are you with big tobacco?
