I think I’m most happy that this animation made all the planets rotate in the correct directions. It even got Venus correct, which is satisfying to see for some reason lol.

Ooo thank you, gonna have to check this one out!

Anyone know of an open source self hosted alternative for apps like this?

I’m shocked how far I had to scroll down before it was mentioned, I was getting scared I would have to say it lol

Add

PATH="${PATH}:~/.local/bin"

To your .zhrc or .bashrc (whatever you use) and either source the file or open a new terminal. Should be as simple as that (assuming +x permissions)

One of only 3 games I’m interested in from today’s announcements. Really hoping to see this one come through soon!

Serious question: am I the only one who couldn’t figure out what this game was called because of the poor font decision (Specifically the first letters)? I now know only because of this Lemmy post lol. Seems more obvious now but my god I couldn’t figure it out earlier

And after that, I now can’t wait for the next pull request with a regular expression on email validation to come through.

Rather than leave another long reply to read, I’ll leave my thoughts simple: if you have another computer you’re not using, try Linux mint and see if it fits your needs. If it’s too much and you can’t get the time needed to figure things out, 11 might be the choice (for now).

But either way, keep Linux on the second and learn a little bit as you get time to! :)

As a professional, my reasoning for NOT using AI is as follows:

1. I don’t want to lose the muscle memory of what I do. Sure AI might be able to do annoying things like test templates… But that’s not a skill I want to forget or lose, as self written unit tests have actually helped me catch mistakes that “would have worked” in prod (i.e. Code functions, but has undesired outcomes). AI can’t usually spot that.
2. As a person who digs deep in cyber security and monitors heavily the malicious realm, I’m paranoid of malicious or weak code being spit into my repos.
3. I’m a privacy nut, too. Most “good” AI solutions are anti privacy.
4. If anyone here has done a proper code review of AI generated code from coworkers, they should know it adds a ton of extra time because of errors, inconsistencies with repo practices, etc and actually wastes the time of the developer and reviewers.

Am I saying “NEVER AI?”? nah. But it’s far from ready for me personally to even consider for programming purposes. I’m also well aware this isn’t what many others think or feel; I don’t scream at people for using it if it’s what they feel helps them.

Escape From Horrorland was the name I was thinking of! It’s got the interactive click videos too but a good number of mini games as well.

I don’t remember a dead hockey player, but it’s very possible I just don’t remember that. I think I remember the bat barn and the coffin scenes the most lol.

The theme park one? Yes I loved that game when I was a kid. Looks cheesy as hell now, lol.

I secretly hope they screw up and brick all the switch 2 devices by uploading a bad update, and are forced to send replacement units, potentially crippling finances of their company.

Doubt it’ll happen, and I’d feel bad for people and kids just wanting to enjoy some Mario and stuff on their weekends (which makes me sorta hope it doesn’t happen at the same time), but… Nintendo needs to be hit very hard for their constant BS.

It’s actually more to do with their lighting systems leaking through walls (even thick 3D walls that are like 0.25m thick) and also still processing behind grid map walls even though they’re not in camera view (obstructed/occlusion). I’ve had to make complicated grid maps with lights work by adding custom occlusion parts to the walls that send signals to enable or disable the entire light object scene, which is a little tedious to have to do.

So, it’s mostly the performance part that’s had me in a pickle. That being said, the default lighting from my experience between the two engines require more work on Godot to be smooth and work to the scene whereas Unity it’s always felt like “it just works”. Not that it’s impossible, just that it does require some extra time to work. This is where I’m now kicking off to watch this video and see if I can get something good out of it!

I was seriously looking up online how to improve my lighting earlier today. Gonna have to give this a full watch later.

Lighting in Godot is one of those few things always making it hard for me between it and Unity… If I can accomplish it successfully, then it makes decisions around that much easier!

I was actually looking forward to what this game would have… Then today’s trailer kind of killed it for me, especially with that price tag. Didn’t look scary at all :( I really do hope I’m wrong though.

To be fair, this is true for Windows and Mac too, unless you aren’t counting the simple scape goat of wiping and reloading lol

I’m not familiar with those two… But I’ve always been hunting for the perfect replacement.

I started with Nextcloud Deck and used it extensively until they got rid of my markdown support.

So then I tried taiga and a few others before landing on Wekan. Really great software, but the terrible API, horrible mobile support, and slow outdated UI drove me away…

Now I’m on Vikunja, which ironically doesn’t support markdown text. So I basically returned to square 1 with a better UI lol. I almost stayed on Wekan because of the checklist support, but the faster speeds, nice API, and slick UI in vikunja landed me here… for now.

Last I checked, Populous the beginning still has a small community going on Popre!

If you go for btrfs, be careful going backwards on kernel versions.

I had upgraded my kernel on Gentoo, which also happen to include a btrfs update. Booted up and found the latest kernel didn’t like something about my full disk luks encryption with RAID mirror setup (for the root partition, and unrelated to btrfs), so I decided to go back to the previous kernel. Big mistake.

My entire root partition got corrupted to hell. It mounted read only at first so I decided to try to go through regular repair steps. It got worse. Got to an eventual step that someone said could take a few weeks to restore (forgot the commands). This isn’t an option for my server. So with snapshots broken, unable to use the old and now new kernel due to corruption from attempting to go back to a previous kernel, I had to restore with a full partition clone backup I had created prior to the kernel upgrade… Also went back to ext4 again afterwards.

Btrfs treated me really well for a few years, and snapshots and performance are great, but once it hits a hiccup, you might in a world of trouble. Don’t think I’ve ever run into such a thing with ext4 over the years, which is why I reverted to it - not saying it’s immune to such things, but this is just me.

Not sure if zfs would have such a dramatic situation, but maybe something to consider about btrfs if you ever decide you’ll need the ability to go back a kernel version due to whatever reason.
