• Export Conversations: Export your chats as markdown files for sharing or archiving.
• Chat Organisation: Auto-generated meaningful titles for your conversations.
• Responsive UI: Works seamlessly on both mobile and desktop devices.
• Code Formatting: Proper rendering and formatting of code blocks in responses.
• Local Storage: All your conversations are stored locally for privacy.

I got Amazon Prime Gaming for free for a month. I claimed a few games I liked but there were many that I didn't want. So, I am giving away some GOG keys. Here's a list of games I haven't claimed:

• Hell Pie
• Cursed to Golf
• ~~9 Years of Shadows~~ GONE
• ~~Showgunners~~ GONE
• ~~The Falconeer~~ GONE
• ~~Ghost Song~~ GONE
• ~~Hive Jump 2: Survivors~~ GONE
• ~~The Gunk~~ GONE
• ~~Pumpkin Jack~~ GONE
• ~~Monster Train~~ GONE
• ~~Coromon~~ GONE
• ~~Duck Paradox~~ GONE
• ~~Close to the Sun~~ GONE
• ~~Chasm: The Rift~~ GONE
• ~~Kerbal Space Program~~ GONE
• ~~Scorn~~ GONE
• ~~RIOT - Civil Unrest~~ GONE
• Moonscars
• ~~Overcooked! Gourmet Edition~~ GONE
• Sir Whoopass: Immortal Death

How to get these games?

1. Comment the name of the game you want.
2. DM me saying that you want the key.
3. Once I give you the key, copy-paste the here, and claim it.
4. Install the game like you normally would. If you are a linux user, I recommend using Heroic Games Launcher, to download and install it, it has a nice interface and even supports controller navigation.

Prerequisites:

• One user can claim only one game.
• Your account must be at least 3 days old.

Yes, you will still own the game even when my Prime ends.

I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had companions), horror games like Outlast, Echo and Alan Wake, and many others.

I want something that won't give me anxiety. I really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy, having those teammates by my side always made me feel "safe". I also liked Spider-Man and Deadpool because the humour makes me feel comfortable. In old Harry Potter games, Ron, Hermione and Harry were usually together, so, I never felt alone while playing those either. In Indika, that one hand man was with me for most of the game.

Open world games also give me less anxiety, like most Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima, Just Cause series, etc.

I think you all get my point. So, what do you suggest I should play?

I bought an Optiplex 5040, with an i5-6500TE, and 8 GB DDR3L RAM.

When I bought it, I installed Fedora Server on it. It got stuck every few days but I could never see the error. The services just stopped working, I couldn't ssh into it, and connecting it to a monitor showed a black screen.

So, I thought let's install Ubuntu Server, maybe Fedora isn't compatible with all of its hardware. The same thing is happening, now, but I can see this error. Even when there's nothing installed on it, no containers, nothing other than base packages, this happens.

I have updated the bios. I have tried setting nouveau.modeset=0 in the grub config file. I have tried disabling and enabling c-states. No luck till now.

Would really appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

UPDATE:

• I cleaned everything and reapplied the thermal paste. I did not see any change in the thermals. It never goes over 55°C even under full load.
• I reset the motherboard by removing that jumper thing.
• I ran memtest86, which took over 2½ hours. It did not show any errors.
• I ran a CPU stress test for over 15 hours, and nothing crashed.
• I also ran the Dell's diagnostic tool, available in the boot menu of the motherboard. The whole test took over 2 hours but did not show any errors. It tested the memory, CPU, fans, storage drives, etc.

I live in India, how can get one? Any secure way of using a proxy address, which is also trusted.

I really, really want a smart watch, but I do not want to buy a typical one, due to privacy reasons. I use Lineage OS. Do I have any other options? Like using a smart watch without connecting it to my phone or internet at all? Using Asteroid OS and Bangle.js isn't an option for me, I have tried a lot to find a compatible watch with no luck at all.

My current setup is an old MacBook woth 2 external HDDs, and I am almost happy with it, for now. I just saw this mini PC on Amazon and I am considering buying it, just to try out a new thing. I think it is cheap (~22 USD).

What I am worried about is that this much memory and storage might make it almost unusable. I was thinking of hosting some minor services, like remark42, shynet or vaultwarden. What else do you think I can host? If my mind changes, I will also try it with a desktop environment and try to connect it to my 4K Android TV.

Here are some specs, if you don't want to visit the webpage:

This repo is also mirrored to Codeberg.

I made an easy to use ToDo app, just to learn a bit about programming and Flutter. It does not really provide any benefits over other ToDo apps, but I am glad that I was able to make this.

You can download the APK for Android, rpm for RHEL/Fedora or just use the AppImage.

I am willing to work more on this, you can read the roadmap in the link provided.

Any guidance, criticisms, or comments will be greatly appreciated.
