Yeah, I’m on custom PC and Ubuntu 22 start to feel really old. All software are outdated which bring instabilities when using some binaries from the net or flatpaks. I think I’ll either jump in the beta, or distro-hop soon

Arn’t AAA preload useless since you still needs to re-download the entire game as day1 patch anyway?

I mean I almost never buy day1, and also sporadicaly even AA games. So bringing from what I read.

Maybe you should join forces with YuNoHost. It let peoples selfhost on a Raspberry Pi or any old computer. Can be a “when I start it spare board only visible at home”.

They already have a lot of apps packages that are 1 click to install. Maybe you can discuss to propose an option in their package script to reduce network to the current machine?

The only downside to this approach is that their solution is targeted at being an entire OS. So I suspect most of the work would be to extract the app management from the rest?

One issue I have with your idea is that most open source servers/app are designed to be run on Linux right? Not every users use it on their main machine. You also talk a lot about docker… does it work on Windows? I mean WSL sounds like a nightmare to manage with script, for other peoples. From my point of view, YuNoHost solution is easy enough for a layman, and they will be happy not to break their main PC, have access from their phone, … even if only at home.

Pass thoses firewalls and other corporates proxy/VPN/… that block most ports. If what you build is at least partly used where user have internet access, you know this port is open. Even if 22, 8080 and all the others are closed.

Are you the one user of this OS Server side? /s

What command do you use to see the Watt used?

I just discovered lowfi. Does what it says, adding ambiant/lo-fi music to my work day.

All those cross platform games are basically re-downloaded as day-1 pstch. And how much times after that do they receive updete to fix them? A year or even more if I remember Cyberpunk.

From where are you downloading the app? I’ve read that either F-Droid reject Android-Auto because of binary blobs, or Google have some way of blocking non-approved builds (not from the playstore) in the car.

Edit: there is another Android-Auto thread.

Nextcloud.

And a subsonic app. There is also another protocol available so you have quite the choice for which you prefer. Currently using Tempo.

At least the internet crowd went :

Silksooooooooooong ! New images and half revealed date of “you will be able to play it on day one”. So either same launch day or a bit before. 2nd time (after the switch 2 trailer) that they mention silksong for this year. So maaaaybe ?

Oh by the way, why are the image shown at an angle? Is it really only to showcase the console? Whatever.

Yeah, I also read that they stopped the project of building an official Xbox handheld to focus on 3rd party hardware. Because otherwise the delay would make them not launch at the same time than the home console.

I would recommand to never copy paste but retype so you have the commands on your finger memory.

Also don’t be afraid to --help everything. It give more option for commands you know quicker than the man.

Yes. I talked about screenshots because the first message said:

I can’t see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover.

For “text source only” I’m with you quotes are enough.

And if images are post anywhere, always provide an alt text, plz everyone !

I don’t say “remove the source”, I say “the source can disappear, the way back machine have already been attacked, just do your own copy of the source and make it available”.

I know screenshots can be faked, but if your news source does it it is not reliable. Drop it immediately.

Source can be destroyed. An alternative screenshoot backup/proof is good measure. Especially in web its better to not depend on an outside server.

Like if they close (or some billionaire buy them and requires an account for everything), your content becomes worthless.

Collecting the traces can cost some performance, but that is a small price to pay for the advantages and could even be turned off in production builds.

They clearly intend this post for developers.

But yeah I want my stacktraces… in my IDE/debugger where I can see them and jump the stack. Most of the time I just need the head, where the breakpoint (or crash) is.

They also complain about rust where you can RUST_BACKTRACE=1 <program>. The default error tells you so !

I’m with the others: fd default syntax is easier to remember.

And for the interactive search I’m using skim. With it I cd to the dir I want and Alt t to trigger fuzzy finding. There are also bindings to search for dir or in the history. The neat part is that results are inserted as is in the command line, no need to xargs or copy them. It also make the history look like I always know where the files I want are when in reality they are just fuzzy-found

First time I hear about checked exceptions. How do you use them ? Are you forced to handle them explicitly ? Is the handling checked at compile time ?
