I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

On a desktop? No. It’s not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.

Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.

Hemingway used to say “Write drunk, edit sober.” I’ve modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:

Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.

The trade-off of losing online features when emulating Nintendo games has never really felt that bad mostly because Nintendo’s online capabilities have always been total ass.

All playable on PC for sure.

OpenSUSE gives out cute little chameleon plushies and if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right.

I never update my spell book and nothing bad has ever happened.

Help. Infernal imps somehow got inside my sanctum and used my scrying orb to send rude messages to the rest of the Circle.

Normally I could do this ritual with a single symbol but there is no support for primordial glyphs in this arcane framework unless you rewrite the whole thing in Elder Speech.

I have gotten a couple meetings to be something we ‘skip by default’ where we keep it on the calendar but someone only starts the meeting if they actually need something.

Dramatically cut down on meetings without any problems so far. Now it’s just occasional and way shorter because we get straight to business and then drop the call.

These days 8BitDo controllers are superior to first party Xbox controllers and sold for cheaper.

The updated fluid mechanics are a lot more forgiving and basically have infinite throughput. It’s still a whole new layer of complexity but doesn’t have nearly as many confusing limitations as it used to.

Bravely running away is the quintessential FromSoft experience. The ultimate flex on enemies is to not even bother attacking them and just rolling to dodge occasionally while you grab items and run past them to the next checkpoint.

What I haven’t figured out is this…

If we’re all going to LLMs instead of asking each other for help (or providing help to others), then how do the models learn new things? Aren’t we no longer generating the same volume of consumable data?

I suppose we can provide feedback to the models to tell them if their solution worked, but I can’t tell if that sort of feedback is more or less useful than just crawling forums.

At the tail end of my last job I was saddled with a massive project to migrate a client to a new version of an application. We did this by standing up the new version, copying over their current data, asking them to test it and then cutting over when they were ready. This was a huge undertaking because most clients had one or two environments but my client had 18 different environments so the workload was way higher and everything took way longer.

On top of the scope they also took updates to these environments almost every night which meant it was a full time job just to keep things in sync, setup a testing window and then try to get them to approve the new state of things.

I was already burnt out before this all started, but thanklessly maintaining 18 non-production environments by myself for an application that no one could commit to testing or cutting over was driving me insane. I felt such a weight lifted off my shoulders when I quit. It came at the end of months of stress and wasted effort. I couldn’t imagine a reality where anyone else would put up with that work or have a better chance of success.

Anyway I caught up with some coworkers and asked if that project ever got done. Apparently it got passed to a small team of three to manage and after getting jerked around for months themselves the whole thing fell apart.

So glad I didn’t waste any more energy on that shit.

Obama taking no action to dismantle the surveillance state was my biggest problem with his administration. It was so obvious how that surveillance would be abused were it ever to get in the hands of a President with authoritarian tendencies.

And here we are.

Now they’ve fully eroded the 4th amendment and will use that knowledge to eradicate the 1st.

This is my exact concern.

If I pay for the lifetime pass now, what’s to stop them from restricting even more features behind new types of subscriptions and paywalls. “We’re adding back the ‘Watch Together’ feature but it requires a Platinum Plex subscription and will not be a part of Plex Lifetime Pass users.”

Seems kind of inevitable honestly.

If you mean that you are using Proton VPN on your Raspberry Pi to mask your downloading traffic, then no that same VPN will not help you access services like Jellyfin on your home network while you are remote.

Instead you’ll want to use something like Tailscale (or Wireguard). You run it as a service on your home network and it then becomes your own VPN that you (or others) can use to connect to your home network when you are remote.

You could run Wireguard on the same RaspberryPi that you use for downloading but I would recommend against it assuming that you’re running Proton VPN right on the host itself (and not inside a container).

Wake on LAN. At least that’s what I do. I can turn on the TV and adjust the volume from Home Assistant but the TV itself can’t reach the Internet.
