Uplay games on Linux
I’d like to try the new Assassin’s Creed and Avatar, but they’re not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I’m not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton....

Waydroid and the DRM issue | How to play DRM protected videos on Waydroid?
I managed to install waydroid after a long and rather stressful installation process, but now that I have installed it, I am realizing that since Waydroid doesn’t come with DRM software (or malware) installed with it, it won’t play no videos, which is one of the reasons I installed it. Is there a way I can run drm protected...
downloading gmails
my gmail account is full, most of the space is emails. I tried to download them through “takeout” and it has an option that says hey let’s split this up into 2GB chunks. And you select that and it sends you one 12GB .mbox file regardless. The 12GB download keeps failing and now it says you’ve already downloaded these...

Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal.

A hidden danger missing from discussion around threads joining fedi
I have seen many people here post about “embrace, extend, extinguish” and that is indeed a good piece of analysis, but one thing I don’t see people talking about is how Meta promotes content in their feeds....
Is SMS 2FA broken/degraded for anyone else?
I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn’t get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can’t log in to my MVD either. Apparently there’s some sort of SMS short+long code outage...

What's a decently fancy coffee that's still affordable and will be well received even by non-coffee snobs?
I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t...

Where do guns go when people are done using them?
Do guns wear out? Do they end up in landfill? You always hear about guns being sold, but never about what happens to them at the end of their useful life.

What is a small .EPUB reader that is easy to install for my small Puppy remaster?
My question is basically the title. I’m making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it’s called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I’ve seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there...

Cloudflare is not working for me the way I hoped it would.
Hello all, The first thing I setup to self-host was NextCloud, and I followed instructions and built the stack directly on the host computer. It’s hosted on port 80, and I created a Cloudflare tunnel from “cloud.mydomain.com” which points to 192.168.1.111 and everything works perfectly. I can access the site from wherever,...
Built a new machine, the moment Unraid is running there are strange interference sounds. Edit: turning off Intel Turbo Boost Technology makes the sound go away.
