Great question, I’ve been looking for the same. Some of my go-tos are:

  • Tetris (GB) (of course)
  • Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (GBC)
  • Balloon Kid (GB)
  • Castlevania II (GB)
  • DuckTales (GB)
  • DK - King of Swing (GBA)
  • Game & Watch Gallery (GB)

Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions (www.tomshardware.com)

Modern AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, and it looks like they will get even more power-hungry in the coming years as companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI strive towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). Oracle has already outlined plans to use nuclear power plants for its 1-gigawatt...

How short is short-term?

Seeking up to three Steam Deck owners to help playtest backgammon game on Steam (store.steampowered.com)

Boxcars is coming soon on Steam. If you own a Steam Deck, and know how to play backgammon or are willing to learn, I would appreciate it if you played a game or two using your Deck, and then let me know your feedback. Let me know if you are interested, and I will send you a key.

I have a deck and know how to play, I’d be down to try it

What do people here think of Nebula?

I’ve been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a ‘host’ laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country....

uzay ,

What made you choose Nebula over Tailscale? I’m running it through a self-hosted Headscale server and it’s working well so far.

uzay ,

I see. That is a valid concern. Though it feels unfair to say that headscale is ‘made by a tailscale employee’. From what I understand, one of the main contributors of headscale was hired by tailscale, though he is not the only maintainer and does not own the repo from what I can tell. Still, Tailscale could decide to cede all support of headscale and that would likely hurt the project a lot. In the same way however nebula could decide to switch to proprietary licenses and discontinue their open source offerings.

Your arguments read like you believe a DRM-protected ebook file is a verbatim copy that can be freely distributed and used. I just want to clarify that it is not, not even on a technical level. The form of DRM that libraries use is not just a license you agree to. It is an ecryption that turns that ebook into a garbled mess for anyone but the person who borrowed the ebook, during a set timeframe. After that period expires it cannot be decrypted anymore and stays a garbled mess forever, irrevocably ceasing to be a copy.

uzay ,

I probably would have never heard of it. Now I really want to play it.

uzay ,

Looks like it could be a neat device, I wonder if it’ll bump up the $200 price point though. Also I was hoping for a Pocket Flip 2, but that is getting less likely at this point I guess.

uzay ,

I started self-hosting a music server locally on a Raspberry Pi long before I switched careers to go into IT. I actually learned a lot that way.

uzay ,

Snake case or kebab case I guess. But why is it called kebab case?

uzay ,

Huh thanks, I guess it’s based on a misunderstanding of the word kebab then. Correctly it would have to be called şiş/shish case then, but that certainly has less of a ring to it.

uzay ,

I like it

I’m sorry you’re having a bad day

There is no point in encrypting a public group chat since anyone can join and decrypt it anyway.

uzay ,

If you restrict it, then it isn’t public. I’m not saying that encrypted group chats are useless. But if it is public and anyone can join anyway, then encryption adds no secrecy.

will ad-blockers in chromium follow suit when chrome discontinues them?

Hey all, I was about to setup uBlock Origin in chromium, when I saw the notice that it may soon be ended due to not following best practices, etc. I looked this up and some articles and posts state that Chrome is discontinuing content blockers / ad blockers soon. Will this apply to the chromium app in Linux?...

uzay ,

Another approach to webapps in Firefox is to create separate browser profiles and create shortcuts for them.

uzay ,

Which does not give them their own window and icon though.

uzay ,

You seem very hurt about that one interaction you had with him months ago. If you’re gonna comment that under every gamingonlinux article you’ll have a lot to do.

I wonder which crappy DRM Capcom will put in the Steam version this time which will make me pick up the Switch version instead.

Why are so many leaders in tech evil?

I remember when I was growing up, tech industry has so many people that were admirable, and you wanted to aspire to be in life. Bill Gates, founders of Google Larry Page, Sergey brin, Steve Jobs (wasn’t perfect but on a surface level, he was still at least a pretty decent guy), basically everyone involved in gaming from Xbox...

uzay ,

Not to take away from Zuckerberg, Musk, and the less-known people in tech like Thiel, but Bill Gates was and is a huge piece of shit who harmed more than just his competitors. Among other things he convinced the world that we need IP and patents for covid vaccines instead of sharing them freely, which alone cost countless lives around the world. I don’t even want to know what other ills his “philanthropy” has and will cause. newrepublic.com/…/bill-gates-impeded-global-acces…

What the uBlock dev actually said:

github.com/…/About-Google-Chrome's-"This-extensio…

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO – you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it’s not a choice that will be made for you.

**Will development of uBO continue?**Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

  • I’ve tried NeoVim but I really don’t want to waste time doing text-based configuration and messing with extensions just to get some basic features working.

Have you tried any of the premade Neovim configurations like Lunarvim or NvChad?

Apart from that maybe something can be done with vscodium in a distrobox container or something, I haven’t looked much into that.

With Overview you can get something very similar in Plasma, though you’d need to change the default shortcut to open it by just pressing the super key.

LocalSend does it best

Best way to transfer local files to my Android device.

I have a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It comes with the painfully slow USB 2.0. I wish to transfer local music files to it, but it’s taking a long time to get copied over USB connection as well as it fails in-between sometimes. Is there any way to transfer the files in a quick and reliable manner?

uzay ,

I personally don’t like it because (on android) it insists on auto-starting and continuously running in the background with no options to change that behaviour. Every time I use it and after every reboot I have to force quit the app. It would be a great tool otherwise but I find that annoying af.

uzay ,

Have you tried LocalSend? Works great for me cross-platform

uzay ,

Default Firefox is becoming more and more unusable. I hope distros will start switching to something like Librewolf as the default browser in the future or heavily (and visibly) change the default Firefox config themselves.

Network-level adblock cannot replace browser-level adblock and vice versa

If you want just a replacement for Warpinator, LocalSend is definitely the way to go. I used Warpinator before, and LocalSend is just an overall better version of the same thing imo. Finds other devices instantly, can also send text in addition to files and folders, and is available across platforms.

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” “business,” and “travel”. This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove...

Why do you need search category data to develop a browser?

Rant: vanilla local app search is ridiculously bad

For a search company I can’t believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can’t even search “bank” for my banking apps, and there doesn’t really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like...

uzay ,

I’m not sure if that helps you, but there are plenty of search focused launchers for android that let you add keywords as tags to apps as well like KISS Launcher and Kvaesitso

uzay ,

Cannot confirm. If I type in anything between “fdr” and “fdroid” it brings up F-droid for me.

uzay ,

Niagara Launcher is not FOSS, it’s closed-source. If you want an open-source search-based launcher, there are Kvaesitso and KISS Launcher for example

Can’t say I’ve ever tried an SMB rom hack, but Zap & Dash sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it out

Another point for KDE might be that it works much better on a small screen that may be partially obscured by an overlaid keyboard. I used Bazzite Gnome for a while on the Steam Deck and I much preferred Plasma on there after switching back, despite using Gnome on my main system.
