I wonder what kind of hardware to best run this on to watch YouTube, Jellyfin, Disney+…

I do have a steam machine on the TV anyway. Is it possible to run this on Steam OS? And without having to fiddle so much when just wanting to watch TV?

They didn’t announce their feast on social media.

My restic backups go to a bucket on scaleway. I’m not having any trouble with that.

They have a free trial, so maybe you could try and see if it works better for you.

I have experienced restic being very slow when it didn’t have a cache. Maybe something worth double checking. I believe it mentions it in the output.

I have used that feature in Steam, and I thought it was neat. Also I did not think you could possibly mean that when you said multiplayer. Because as others have pointed out already that is not turning it into what one would generally describe as multiplayer. It turns it into remote coop, or chaos, or, if the game already has local multiplayer, it can turn it into remote multiplayer.

Nice for some games, but not generally applicable, and not what most people unfamiliar with it would expect after reading your statement.

with a few lines of code, they can turn a game into multiplayer

lol, wtf are you talking about? I have no idea how that would even work. I am a game dev. I can add the API calls to connect to the servers, sure. That doesn’t make the game function correctly as a multiplayer game.
So either you have no idea what you are claiming here, or you’re misrepresenting things on purpose.

It makes me not trust a single thing you say and think you’re just a Valve shill.

They have done good things for Linux. Doesn’t mean their anti competitive practices aren’t anti competitive.

Downvoting because in the 2nd paragraph:

I’m not Catholic, and I have grave disagreements with the pope on issues ranging from trans rights to women’s ordination.

And can we interest sir in an EU privacy law–mandated cookie consent pop-up?

That is the malicious compliance implementation that big tech went for in order to nag us into accepting all cookies, not at all what the EU law had in mind. ”Reject All” is supposed to be as easy to choose as ”Accept All”, or you know, you could just read my browser’s ”do not track” setting, that’s what it’s ducking for.

Very interesting, thank you for the work and sharing it. When I have some time I’ll have a look if I can use this with my rootless podman setup.

I’m on CAX11.

My experience: I started hosting some other services on a hetzner VPS, and then also threw in Nextcloud later. Nextcloud was a bit annoying to set up, but mostly because I really wanted to use rootless podman. I imagine a more official way would be easier. It works like a charm now. I have only two users, so mileage may vary.

Most of my data is outside of Nextcloud and it’s photos and videos, so I ran out of internal storage on the VPS quickly. I’m using a Hetzner storage box now (though they did just increase the price of those…).

I use the hetzner backup as local. The offsite one is a scaleway s3 via restic, I wanted it to be completely unrelated, just in case Hetzner decide to terminate my account or something.

It’s a personal device. Nothing related to the mission.

Can I install it in edge? That would be funny. (I’m using edge at work…)

My kitchen sink in the kitchen is fine though? What about the bathroom sink?

Thanks for the link. Looks like I had already turned it off.

The final assembly is only part of the story though. As far as I understand, fairphone does actually try to check their supply chain to ensure the raw materials are (more) ethically sourced. As opposed to those optimizing for profit, who will intentionally look the other way.

I wonder if this will in practice put an end to the scummy practice of badly sized in game currency pack sizes, one of the many scummy techniques they use to make people spend more.

Let’s say the thing most players buy costs 3 ingame currency (I love that my autocorrect made „insane currency“ out of that). The smallest pack you can buy is 5. So, the player buys 5, spends 3 and has 2 left with which nothing to do. If they want another 3, they have to buy 5 more. Spend 3, have 4 left. Spend 3, have 1 left. The cycle continues.

I find it interesting that it says it’s based on existing legislation. In that case I’ma bit disappointed that it took them so long to act. But, it’s of course a stop in the right direction.

If they handle personal data of EU citizens, they need to comply with GDPR.

Now, what’s gonna happen if they don’t? I don’t know what mechanics are in place to deal with that.

I’m in Sweden too. I was considering buying a used car made in 2023. It uses 2G/3G. It has some connected services I actually wanted to use. And well, the ecall obviously. It’s really not an old car yet, but it becomes obsolete already.

On the manufacturer’s website they say that new car models need to have 4G/5G only by 2026. And starting 2027 all cars sold must have it. 2027 is also when they expect 2G to be fully shut down in the country. This timeline makes no sense for devices with a long life span.

In the website they also say you wouldn’t fail inspection though. But honestly I don’t care too much about that, since I actually care about ecall and some other connected services.
