Just short it mate.

I got a request from hetzner to upload my id and selfies. Is that something that is normal in this day and age? I remember back in the day it wasn’t needed. At most, a declaration of my residence and such.

A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.

You say data and I say data…

Spotify only pays for the first few listens I think. Also, the payout is a fraction of pennies.

I have a T14 gen1 ryzen 7 (only 16G of ram for now), with integrated graphics running bazzite. Civ 5 and 6, rimworld, FTL run flawlessly. Anno 1800 is a bit laggy, but playable. I also do some sim racing and no complaints there either, if graphics are set just right, so I think that the bar for hardware is pretty low. As for hardware, not sure what I’d go with, but I’m sure there is no need to go overboard. For software bazzite is amazing if you want near hassle free gaming.

As for accessories I have a keychron keyboard which was a worthwhile investment and a Mionix 3200 mouse that’s over 10 years old, still amazed at the build quality and value for money. A good keyboard mouse combo is invaluable.

I’m yet to try BeamNG, would be cool to test some cars I built in Automation. I was a bit hesitant about AMS2 for some reason, but might as well give it a go. Although RBR would be the priority now.

Thanks for the awesome writeup! I’ll get to it next time I have a chance. Maybe it’s time to join the bazzite discord.

I think you might’ve just saved me there. Will give modprobe a try in the afternoon. Thanks a lot!

I was under the impression that new-lg4ff cannot be installed due to the immutable nature of the system. What I don’t understand is that dirt 2.0 works beautifully and from what I read on forums and protondb simracing is doable on linux, but all the positive stories came from people running traditional distros. I’m leaning on dual booting though, it just feels yucky.

Yet, essential.

Like all others.

Good point. Lemmy too.

8mm, silent!

Funny how CrowdStrike already sounds like some malware’s name.

Isn’t there maybe a way to keep the factory os and selectively disable google services. Sort of no-script style? Not too familiar with the android ecosystem tbh, other than google is on top of the food chain, haha.

Speaking of testis… should I worry I only have two?

Yet, for some unknown reason some treat it as a rite of passage.

I have been using a t450 for the past 5 years as my only pc. For about 4 years I used Arch without any major issues, but my “optimizations” became too much to maintan. For the past year I’ve been using Kinoite and it’s brilliant.

Everything runs good enough out of the box and in my daily use I haven’t noticed that I’m running a 9 year old machine. I even play games that should have no business running on that crusty old thing. Also, the stability is divine.

Seen quite a few of those in the ttrpg community lately.
