Laticauda , to lemmyshitpost in Whenever I sort by "Hot", I never get an erection. Do I have to turn NSFW filters off in my settings? If so, why is "sort by Hot" even still there?

It’s because it gives Lemmy the erection, not you.

sub_ , to gaming in FFXVI - Am I crazy?
  • Yeah, vocal animations for side quests are off, some are saying this is the aftereffect of the pandemic. They also didn’t lipsync for Japanese dub, so you might want to stick with that
  • As per overworld map, it’s similar to FFX
  • Side quests are very sparse around the beginning of the game, by the end of the game I was complaining at how unevenly distributed they are that they just drop large number of them before endgame. They are there to flesh out the side characters
  • Not sure about graphics, but the music is by same composer Masayoshi Soken
  • Is it really Kingdom Heart’s combat? I played 90% of KH games and DMC games, and I’d definitely say that it’s more DMC combat than KH, considering they hired Ryota Suzuki who designed the combat system for DMCV and Dragon’s Dogma as the combat director

If you’ve played FFX, XIII, 7Remake, Crisis Core, then you’d be less shocked by how linear it is.

Because I’m a huge dork, all my machines are named after the FFXIV jobs:

Desktop-Red Mage Laptop-Machinist RaspberryPi-Sage etc.

Addfwyn , to gaming in FFXVI - Am I crazy?

I love FF, played them all and generally liked every one to varying degrees. I am about there with you overall on XVI. I liked my time with FFXVI well enough, but in my overall series hierarchy it is basically smack dab in the middle. I thought it was good but it didn’t blow me away like a lot of people are raving about. I certainly don’t regret playing it, but I also wouldn’t want to see this be the direction they take the series from now on.

I liked the characters a lot more than I expected. Story had pacing issues but overall it was good. Music was more atmospheric but generally quite well done, though thinking back to it now I can’t really recall any of the music.

Gameplay-wise though, it felt like it was lacking a lot of RPG elements. I don’t mind action combat at all, I am not a turn-based purist and I loved FF7R, but the combat in FFXVI seemed like a big step back. There really wasn’t any itemization, levels didn’t feel that impactful, and even unlocking nodes on the skilltree felt very low impact. About halfway through the game I had unlocked everything I would use until the end of the game, so skill points really ceased to matter. There were no resistances or elements, so even though the game makes a big deal about learning different magic-types (which are all 100% the same as each other), you can approach every single fight exactly the same. The big bombastic kaiju fights people loved were actually my least favourite part though. You were basically given a simplified version of the character you normally play, and they were all about 30% too long. They were a spectacle but weren’t actually all that fun or interesting to play.

killabeezio , to selfhosted in Anyone hosting pixelfed using docker?

Not sure what pixelfed is, but you yelling I need help doesn’t really help anyone. What problems are you having exactly. What image are using? What commands are running? What have you tried?

@A10@kerala.party avatar

sorry for the rant, I have updated the post.

killabeezio , (edited )

I don’t even know if that’s being maintained. I couldnt find anything on docker hub. It does look like this one is maintained though blog.pixelfed.de/2020/05/29/pixelfed-in-docker/

Maybe give that one a try. It seems like you are already using his image anyway. Also it seems like the command to run for the worker is different in his image.

If you have issues with that setup, feel free to post what issues you having.

Technically you don’t really need to setup a bunch of networks unless you are trying to host this or something, which I wouldn’t recommend docker compose anyway. So, if you wanted to keep it simple, you could just the default network.

Another note, while zknt/pixelfed does exist on docker hub. It was moved to quay, so continue using that image.

inspxtr , to linux in How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?

If you use other package managers like flatpak, nix-env (for non-NixOS), npm (for global stuff), … you can just create a bash script to list all installed packages for each manager, and save to a file(s). I put them in a git repo to version control these lists, which are updated every now and then when I update stuff.

I just get whatever has the best bang for my buck around with good custom ROM support every 3-4 years

zergling_man , to technology in Ex-Facebook Users, What Do You Use Now?

They can come visit me if they have something to say. Or email. I’ve invited them to XMPP and fedi many times and they’ve ignored it. I interpret this as them not wanting to talk to me.

dandroid , to nostupidquestions in What are the best instruments for a beginner to pick up?

I have played guitar for over 20 years and I fully recommend guitar.

You can get a decent instrument for about $100. Don’t get one a Target or Best Buy for $100. Those are toys. Get one at a real music store. Yout probably have locally owned used instrument shops. Those are your best bet for finding a quality instrument for a very low price.

Because guitar is so popular, there is an unlimited amount of free learning materials online. You can find videos on YouTube to learn the basics like how to strum and how to press frets. Once you can make sounds come out and feel somewhat comfortable moving your fingers around on the fretboard, watch a YouTube video to learn to read tabs. It’s easy. You can learn in one day. You don’t need to read music. That’s a waste of time unless you want to play professionally. You can always learn that later if you decide to go down that path. Every song you have ever heard of has free tabs on the internet. ultimate-guitar.com even has many songs where you can press a play button and hear the tab. It makes learning very easy.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks ,

This is just my experience as an adult with little music background. I tried guitar and it was not beginner friendly for a few reasons:

Notes appear multiple places on the fretboard, which means chords have tons of forms. This leads into my next point of knowing what to play and where to play it.

For reading music (I know you say just read tabs but tabs have their own issues) there are several notation systems that all get crammed together to make sight reading extra difficult. For any given note, in addition to the pitch and duration from the standard musical notation, there may be instructions for which string to fret, which finger on the right hand to use, and which position to be in (how far down the fretboard your where hand is).

Bar chords. I really hit a wall with these and the awful contortions expected of me to produce these.

Counterpoint or music in two parts. Having trouble remembering where a note is as a beginner or keeping rhythm? How about we add a few more than will be fretted differently depending on what comes before or after and that have a different duration? Now move only some of your fingers so you can let one line ring out while playing together from the other line.

You may say that these aren’t beginner topics, but they’re all covered in the first book I ever learned from that started with how to hold a guitar and notes in the first position.

dandroid ,

You had a bad book, then. Those aren’t beginner topics. Don’t learn to read music, it’s a waste of time. I will die on that hill. Use tabs and listen to the song to get the timing.

You don’t need to know many forms of chords at the beginning. Just memorize 4 of them and you can play most songs.

Barre chords are really hard. I don’t think I learned them until like my third year of playing guitar. You don’t need them as a beginner.

I used to teach guitar to beginners. Trying to run before you can walk just gets you frustrated and makes you want to stop trying. You need to learn the basics before you can learn advanced stuff. By basics, I mean, how to strum a single chord. So many books and teachers want to start teaching reading music or chord notation right away, and that’s just dumb imo. Just get a feel for it. Strum open if you have to until you feel comfortable strumming, then add your fretting hand into the mix to make a chord.

zacher_glachl , to linux in How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?

Git.

Keep all the config files of your tools in subdirectories of a git versioned directory and symlink them into their target location (e.g. with GNU stow). If installation of a tool is involved and you expect to have to revisit it, put the steps into an installation bash script and version it as well.

mariom ,

+1, essential ones I keep in GitHub repository (like zsh, tmux, xdefaults configs with no personal data). With makefile that makes symlinks. This is the easiest way to sync zsh config between my personal and work machines.

Rest is just in a backup.

hikarulsi ,
@hikarulsi@lemmy.world avatar

Do you have an example of a generalise makefile that does that? Or does it need to be customise per configuration?

mariom ,

On my GitHub repo. Needs to be customized, but you should get the idea.

Maybe there is a way to write it better, I’m no makefile expert ;)

eshep ,

@zacher_glachl @perishthethought I take a similar approach starting with a bare work-tree at $HOME/.cfg and add config files I've changed. Then throw my --git-dir and --work-tree switches in an alias for git.

As for installed programs, a simple backup of my portage world file takes car of that.

czech , to linux in what counts as a distro
@czech@no.faux.moe avatar

Linux is just a kernel in the same sense that a disto is just a package manager and an init system. Technically that's the case but colloquially a distro is any set of curated, pre-configured packages with an install script.

which would make chrome, android, and neon all distros
