sj_zero , to showerthoughts in I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy

Less doom scrolling, more engagement in stuff you're interested in.

sj_zero , to technology in Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, one election at a time!

sj_zero , to technology in 87% of classic video games are 'critically endangered.' As a millennial, I'm worried it means a huge chunk of my childhood will disappear.

I'm not sure that's true.

I mean, which classic video games are endangered? As far as I know, virtually every video game for every classic console has backups online, as well as the overwhelming majority of PC games. There's even an overwhelming wealth of arcade games archived.

The things we should be most concerned about are the more recent games that require a central server because as Ross Scott likes to remind us, those are the games that can and will be killed at any time.

sj_zero , to technology in TSMC is delaying its Arizona foundry over a lack of skilled workers alongsde a $5.85B income slump

If they really wanted more skilled labour, then they'd hire entry level people.

Shockingly, that doesn't happen. Huh!

sj_zero , to technology in Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.

In the UK, even conservatives hate the conservatives. It's quite impressive, really.

sj_zero , to selfhosted in Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?

One thing that could help a lot would be have a third drive off one of the USB ports, a cheap large spinning drive, and have a cronjob to routinely copy the contents of your drive to the cheap spinning drive to the backup drive. That way even if you lose your SSD or your SATA drive, you still have a somewhat recent version of all your files elsewhere.

sj_zero , to retrogaming in Did anyone play Darkstone back on the PSX?

It doesn't do anything special (ran on my Radeon 7000 without hardware t&l back in the day), I bet it does works fine.

sj_zero , to retrogaming in Did anyone play Darkstone back on the PSX?

I pretty much guarantee it.

I'm pretty sure doom 3 even has a native Linux port even.

sj_zero , to retrogaming in Video: MVG - Doom 3 on the original Xbox

I rented doom 3 from blockbuster and copied it to the hard drive or my modded Xbox.

Yeah I know I'm old get off my lawn!

sj_zero , to selfhosted in Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?

Yes, the only thing being that most NUCs can only have one drive (or one m.2 and one 2.5" sata drive) so you can't do anything like drive mirroring so if you lose a drive you're in trouble.

sj_zero , to selfhosted in what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS?

I bought an asustor a while back because I wanted my critical files protected by drive mirroring. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Not just as a basic NAS, but it also has a really nice ecosystem of apps that can run on it, so for example if you want to run a local nextcloud, you can do that without doing anything on a terminal.

sj_zero , to nostupidquestions in Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside?

You probably don't want there to be an easy solution.

But there's no second egress?

sj_zero , to fediverse in I like the transition away from prioritizing comments over questions.

10/10 futurama reference

sj_zero , to retrogaming in Did anyone play Darkstone back on the PSX?

I played it on the PC, if it's the game I'm thinking of.

I got a huge kick out of the fact that it had all the odd language choices in the English translation. UMA is planning on taking over UR

I called it drakstone because of it.

sj_zero , to fediverse in SSO and nomadic federated identities

I don't really want people from any old instance hopping onto my sites using a SSO, but one thing I thing would be really nice is if you create an account on FBXL Social and it automatically creates the same account on FBXL Lemmy and FBXL Video (and FBXL Matrix and XMPP)

I feel like if I was ambitious it's something that could be done without a lot of coding knowledge.
