Imagine being this smug about what OS people choose to use

tl;dr: Don’t install drivers from unverified sources

Yup, it is.

And yeah, it is more difficult than just using wikia/fandom/etc, but it also provides such a better experience. Not all game communities will go to that length, but PoE players are a different breed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He was filthy rich anyway, a few hundred million more doesn’t make any difference. If the deal gets him out, then that’s still a small win, despite Microsoft owning even more developers

This is really a tough one. I hate consolidation, but I also really hate Bobby Kottick.

cars are freedom

What about my freedom to walk or bike? My freedom to be able to cross the street? My freedom to get milk without taking 2000 pounds of metal with me?

Cars warp entire cities around them. In an ideal world, everyone would be able to own a car, but very few people would need to own a car

Dredge! I played it entirely on Steam Deck, and it was a great, relaxing, intriguing experience. Would recommend

Path of Exile did the same thing, going from fandom to https://poewiki.net. And thank god they did, fuck fandom

I wouldn’t say so. Admins run the site, moderators run communities. This happens to be a community with an admin as a mod.

You’re not stupid, you’re one of the lucky 10000

I’m lucky enough that my backup server is at my parent’s place I’m their basement, so it’s off-site by already

Rsnapshot on a second server, saving 7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, and 6 mk they backups

I’ve been meaning to try out Bluesky, but I’ve been stuck on the waitlist since it opened up.

I don’t suppose you happen to have any invite codes you aren’t using? :D

Average lemmygrad L take

Tankies fuck off

You don’t even need a 12th/13th gen chip tbh. I went from a server with a GTX 1660 to one with an i5-8600 (Well, multiple actually - it’s a kubernetes cluster). They can handle multiple 4k transcodes just fine.

Oh motherfucker

AirVPN I guess then

ProtonVPN has dynamic port forwarding via a Windows client (or a python script if on Linux). Just a heads up, since it could be awkward to work out if you’re downloading from a headless server.

I’ve heard AirVPN is good. I switched to iVPN and I’m satisfied

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS’s IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

Fedora for coders

And Manjaro for no one. The distro is run by clowns

Magnesium Citrate does not fuck around. I used it once when constipated and it cleared me out good.

I also barely slept that night and had to take the following day off work, because i absolutely could not stop shitting for almost 24 hours
