Amnesia: the Bunker. A masterpiece in horror and very tense. It is my personal GOTY for 2023

Katana314 ,

Or, The Bunkererer: Also called “Conscript”, another survival horror game about World War 1.

Man, I played this a couple months ago, and it is indeed tense. I had the same feeling playing this as I did Alien: Isolation. I was crawling on the ground most of the time, and I like that with every playthough the items are randomized. It's a solid entry to the entire Amnesia series (and better than Rebirth imo)

BaldManGoomba , to asklemmy in Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards?

So you see something that concerned 2% to 15% of the population use to hide in the closet and or we didn’t talk about it or know.

Now people are done hiding. Which impacts tons of people who barely understand their anatomy let alone their wives. When school never taught intersex and gender despite it being a thing that was understood in science in the 60s and 70s. A lot of people are suddenly confronted with a reality they don’t understand. When peoples bubbles are popped first comes rejection of thing then comes fear and anger. Issue is with 8 billion people there is constantly people learning about sexual orientation, gender, and sex.

Let’s not even talk about the internalize confusion of you people either. This is just current existing people learning about this stuff today.

I think Windows has a very poor track record for ui consistency as well. It feels like every Windows app wants to roll its own UI; Firefox, Discord, Steam etc. I know Discord and Steam also have those issues on Linux as well, but it feels like every Windows app wants to roll out it’s own window decorarions and theme.

Honestly, I’m pleased at how consistent most gtk based apps look.

slazer2au ,

Windows can’t even get their own UI right.

Look at the win10 control panel. Nearly a decade later and we still have to use the classic control panel to change settings.

just_another_person , to selfhosted in Web printing

Gotta say, this question and the process explained threw me for a loop.

You have a network print server where it’s advertising an available printer, but instead of the native printer system on a client device, you want to NOT use the CUPS server to print? That’s what it’s there for. I’m confused on why you have it then.

If your goal is just to have clients print as directly as possible to a printer…you already have that with CUPS running. I guess I’m not getting why submitting via web form is useful in this case.

Shimitar OP ,

I want to print from a web page: upload the file, hit print button.

In this way I can print from whatever device I want even without any driver installed or configuration.

just_another_person ,

CUPS already does this though, and that’s where I’m getting confused. This is the entire point of CUPS. If your issue is with drivers, then you need to configure it to just print from its own driver via a spooled queue like PostScript, or maybe IPP.

wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer_sharing

Shimitar OP ,

I known cups can share printers and queues.

What is unclear?

I don’t want to pull drivers or install cups on devices. I want to print from anywhere just uploading a file to a web page.

If I have lots of devices or just want to let somebody print from his phone/tablet without installing or configuring anything…

With cups I still need to touch the system or the device somehow to let it print.

just_another_person ,

I am saying that CUPS requires zero drivers or anything else from clients. It advertises the printer on the network, a device sees it, and submits a job. That’s it. Exactly what you are describing doing with a web form, except CUPS already does all of this.

Sounds like you’re not sure how it works.

Shimitar OP ,

It still requires the device to be capable to print…

And the user to find the printer select it and so on. And must expose more ports on the network beside 443…

So, indeed cups is a great solution, but not to the problem I want to solve.

I do use cups in fact for the trusted part of the network, driverless printing for windows and Linux. Android doesn’t even need cups since it picks up the printer directly from the printer itself (AirPrint or whatevee that’s called).

just_another_person ,

Just going to say it again: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) via CUPS solves for all of this, but you seem destined for a specific thing you want to do and don’t actually need help with your current issues, so not sure why you posted here.

originalucifer , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

ive purposefully stood up my instance in a production, scalable environment.

i make my costs public on the https://moist.catsweat.com/faq page.

currently running ~1.60/day = 50$/month...

so far about $0.50/per user/month or $1.25/active user/month which should move downward until i hit resource limits and have to scale infrastructure.

Diddlydee , to asklemmy in Can anyone name some mysteries in stories where the answer ended up delivering and was better than the mystery itself?

The man from earth (2007). Low budget but a great movie, particularly if you know nothing about it beforehand.

And whatever you do, don’t watch the sequel. It’s quality is the exact opposite of the first movie.

Yeah, I made that mistake. I just pretend the sequel doesn’t exist.

That was a truly special movie. Loved it.

Conservatives have been furious about that progress this whole time. They will never accept progress. If permitted, they will undo every bit of anti-bigotry progress made in the last 100 years and return us to a slave-based economy.

Conservatism is a deadly social cancer. It always has been.

I suspect the truth is a lot more jarring/disruptive to your worldview than you might be ready to admit. I’m positive that you’ll shoot the messenger. You’re so close to the answer. It’s staring you right in the face.

The unfortunate truth is: The people (tribe) that you’re (rabidly) in support of are merely using those identity politics dogwhistles so that you’ll continue voraciously gobbling up the increasingly miniscule table scraps from the ruling class while thinking to yourself that you’re the last bastion of resistance against some great encroaching evil. When conservatives accuse the DNC of running the media, they’re not wrong. The DNC and their stable of “diverse” demagogues are masters of stage-managed, focus-grouped mass marketing. If they tell the truth, they are quickly disposed of.

Please read some Chomsky, my friend.

HubertManne , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

Is the shutdown about cost per user? why not just limit signups in a case like that? I sorta assumed some instances were personal instances with no real signups and some where more open public. I don't see why someone can't run something with the intention of carrying like 10 users max or 100 or 1000 or what not.

@troed@fedia.io avatar

I think a lot of people start up a server because at the time it fits with what they want to do. Once you realize this is not a job (correct description) you wanted to take on it becomes much harder to motivate it.

As soon as you run a server for others outside of the immediate friends/family circle it can be really difficult to deal with the expectations of uptime and service. Also, some don't want to ask for help but also take on all the moderation themselves too.

HubertManne ,

how much can someone limit the instance? Like can they not allow magazine creation? It would be good for the good folks who run instances to think about scope and set limits. That does mean some large instances will be the backbone but that does not change that small instances will lighten the load and increase robustness.

I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.

I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.

I wonder if Russians are aware of the ways Putin enriches himself off of Russian poverty and suffering. Let’s make sure they know how to solve that problem.
