If you’d be interested in another souls-like, I can recommend Remnant 2 (or the previous title) – though, not the same combat style by any means.

We ran RocketChat at work for a few years before migrating to Teams.

RC could be good, but maintaining it long-term was an enormous pain. Maybe it’s better now, certainly if you’re using docker… But a manual install was always a laborious task on upkeep for us. Also worth making sure you don’t need commercial features, as they’ve removed free features in the past to drive sales…

Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? (www.playbalatro.com)

I’m not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I’ve enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly...

I played the 2-3 demos before release, and have been continuing that trend since launch. “Nearly” at 100% achievements, though the remaining 3 are the big ones, so dunno how long it will take.

I have found that I enjoy the game more on low stakes (white/red), as the higher stakes are really just more annoying/RNG to me than anything.

Still, Stuntman will get me through.

I don’t know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it’s honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex…

stewie410 ,

My brief experience with LINQ has also taught me to prefer this type of thing as well; though I still use regex on a daily basis most of the time, given my environment.

Bit of a boring answer, but Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 has stolen many hours off of my life.

Another honorable mention would be the rhythm game “Frequency”.

A third, which isn’t a game, is eJay Club World; though that’s more of a DAW than anything.

stewie410 ,

I’m the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).

Apparently we’re going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA – oh, and for 30K/yr.

I’m sure this will go well.

My parents recently got a new washer/dryer set; they had to buy commercial (though available to consumers) units to get non-smart units.

stewie410 ,

We’ve been running KVM on CentOS/Rocky hosts for our VM platforms; seems to work fine for our needs.

I’m not sure how ESXi would differ as I’ve never used it, but may be an option if you want to roll your own vs proxmox.

stewie410 ,

Just for additional context, are the Outlook connections Exchange, or standard IMAP/POP?

stewie410 ,

Hey now, why don’t you join my work and use jboss-4.2.2.GA? (kill me)

stewie410 ,

I’m sure we’ll keep using .intranet because why should we ever change?

stewie410 ,

Looks like you need to manually install pkgbuild (mkpkg? Don’t remember off hand) & zmusic.

stewie410 ,

I assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

There’s really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

  • The edge panel (ended up using Panels
  • A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
    • I’ve gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it’s handled in OneUI

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week – completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn’t work for some people).

stewie410 ,

I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game’s executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.

In Fallen Order’s case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.

Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.

stewie410 ,

Its less that it’s complex, moreso that there’s basically zero onboarding.

stewie410 ,

We didn’t get a video, but my first employer (Food Lion, a grocery store) did give us almost an identical spiel about once a year as “mandatory training”.

stewie410 ,

May be worth building a default config to “install” for those setups; that’s saved me quite some time when configuring new/spare machines at work.

stewie410 ,

I’ve just recently switched from a Galaxy S10 to a Pixel 7 as I wanted to see the “vanilla” experience, as well as be closer to upstream for software updates. My S10 still works great, though the battery needs replacement (at the time, it had already broken the glue on the back glass and was still expanding – didn’t realize until I took it out of the case for cleaning)…

With my S10, I had to really fight to get it to let me use Google’s apps over the Samsung ones; which whole annoying is doable. So far, the only things I really miss from Samsung (and notably the UX):

  • The sidebar/panel with an additional set of predefined apps
  • The volume/silent switch in the notification shade
  • The Bixby button (for custom actions)
  • Physically smaller phone, but that’s not a huge deal

Overall, I’m happy with the experience so far; though I dunno if the “Pro” model of anything is really worth it.

stewie410 ,

Part of the difficulty may have also been because it was my first foray into Android… at the moment I don’t have a specific example, but I seem to remember setting defaults was straight-forward; but either they were not always respected by certain interaction prompts, or some similar behavior.

As for GMail, I’m also no longer using the app and instead have opted for Spark (personal mailboxes) & Outlook (exchange, work)…

stewie410 ,

Not sure what MFA provider you’re using, but worked fine for my account with GAuth. Though, I’m currently trailing both Sync and Boost (the latter was my preferred reddit client)

stewie410 ,

For me, once I prove the username/password and tap “Login”, a third box appears asking for the MFA code

stewie410 ,

I’ve stopped using it on mobile entirely, but still use Reddit for some communities like r/bash and the like, or otherwise things related to my job – though, only on desktop.

That said, I’d like to fully move off of the platform eventually.

stewie410 ,

I’d still like to move to a dedicated condenser on a boom, but at least for the time being, the PC37X I bought off of Drop like 6 years ago still sounds great to both my ears & the other members in VC. Granted, the unit is starting to fall apart now (volume-dial adhesive failed, raise-to-mute works about 50% of the time, etc), so I need to replace it anyway…

stewie410 ,

Still playing through Remnant 2; trying to get all non-HC items on my original character, as well as work on an apocalypse clear.

Otherwise, does rewriting bash/powershell scripts count as gaming?

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

stewie410 ,

Well anti-trust would get in the way of profits, you see

stewie410 ,

Based on the article’s admittedly poorly-wordered description, it sounds like the former. I think they were the would-be electors had Trump won the state – when called to the state’s GOP HQ, they signed a document claiming to have met in the state capitol, though they had not. When that certificate was submitted, that’s when the alleged fraud took place.

Note: IANAL, just trying to decipher the article
