@saaste Tuo on kyllä hauska laji! Itse tein taannoin 1300-luvun Suomeen pohjautuvan (kuitenkin fantastisen) homebrewin PF2 säännöillä, ja vedinkin lyhyen kampanjan sitä. Loppujen lopuksi päädyin kuitenkin siihen että maailman rakentelu oli pelinjohtamista hauskempaa omalla kohdalla 😄
In a lot of countries, when you publish a book there is a state archive which by law (Pflichtexemplarrecht in countries with legal code based on the BGB) will receive at least one copy of that book for permanent safekeeping and making accessible to the rest of the world because culture is incredibly important. Books in that sense are a media which is incredibly hard to de-publish and that's good.
Anyway this is a post about streaming services delisting shows/movies because of greed.
Taas on vuosi vierähtänyt ja Skrolli 2024.2 vapautunut embargosta. Lehdessä on juttu Fediversumin moderoinnista. Kirjoittaja J. Arjoranta.
@tracefree This one’s a real long shot, but in case you just happen to have the same issue I had: Sway’s max_render_time really messes with Elden Ring in particular, if you’re using Sway and have set that very specific config parameter
Setting it to “off” made Elden Ring run fine.
not to pontificate too much but: the ethos that people should be empowered to solve their own problems together by freely associating into short- or long-lived collaborations is the foundation of free software. it also works. modern computing does not happen without self-directed volunteers working together to make it happen. we have 30+ years of evidence at this point.
the roc package was broken in the AUR. i didn't need anyone's permission to fix it. the original maintainer made me co-maintainer. i merged my changes into the original package. i do not know this person, we'll probably never meet, but we collaborated and Arch Linux is better for it. computing is kept afloat by a million interactions like this.
and like... this is anarchism. if anyone asks or is confused as to what it is, this is it. with 200+ years of theory about how to think about it and manage problems and scale etc but this is The Thing as far as i can tell. people solving problems together without coercion or central coordination.
committed anarchists make the leap of observing the effectiveness and morality of this kind of organizing and ask how to scale it to other aspects of society, to all aspects. and there are answers to those questions. but it feels like a big deal to me that modern computing in large part is made possible by a kind of informal anarchist organizing.
a persistent frustration of mine is free software people struggling to make the bridge between the two, and i blame anti-left american propaganda and a limited western educational systems...

If your Internet goes down, remember you can fill out the paper version of the packet transmission form.
stolen due to lack of alt textFinally got around to setting up a slog for my zpool, and despite widespread warnings around the internet that it would not affect performance, it appears to have made Akkoma and Kanboard respond much quicker.
Or it’s a placebo, but I’ll take it.
https://meshoptimizer.org has also been updated with better documentation structure, and more details where relevant. Hopefully that’s easier to navigate!
Upgraded my dual-booting laptop’s just-in-case-I-need-it install of Windows 10 to Windows 11, and despite my suspicions, it appears to have done so without messing up the rest of the computer! I suppose backing up everything carefully worked like taking an umbrella to ensure the day stays sunny…
Windows stays losing though, it’s surprisingly sluggish and slow to boot and shutdown compared to Arch with SDDM and Plasma.

I had a lot of fun making the WebGL demos, but it took me weeks of work. Boost are really appreciated if you enjoy it.
@bazkie Sounds good! The temps have been quite cool (50–60 °C) inside the apartment (around 24 °C usually), so I don’t think even the hottest day Finland can muster would be too bad.
From what I’ve asked around, seems like humidity is a common concern too, so I suppose I’ll keep an eye on that, but it’s seeming pretty promising so far.
Anyone know if there are safety concerns regarding keeping servers (like, a regular desktop PC without a monitor) on a windowed balcony — i.e. temperature-wise outside, but safe from the elements? #selfhosting
Would save some square meters from inside the apartment, and have just a little less fan/hdd noise around…

@mothcompute I switched from Alacritty to Foot, if there’s any differences aside from config file syntax, I don’t remember them.
