Well you can use compose for podman too right? I'm also using Fedora KDE on the college laptop so moving away from bazzite

Oh I meant SotFS, haven't played vanilla in years. And I've only experienced it on steam deck because that's where I typically play it. I'll try it on my other rigs and see what happens

The frame stutter issue that progresses throughout a session until it renders the game unplayable can apparently only be fixed by downgrading steam to a version from 2024?? crazy that that sort of thing can just happen and there's no recourse. Although maybe if I play it on a powerful enough machine I can just brute force past it?

I'm running services you don't know in virtualizations you've never seen 😎

It feels weird but I might actually ditch the podman desktop GUI and manage everything with quadlets and CLI. I tried to mix them but the interactions between the quadlet and container when managed through the GUI kept making things so confusing, whereas I was able to start up navidrome on my bazzite install just with the quadlet and a few commands. Plus I can just keep track of container status using one of those fancy self-hosted homepages right?

I've been playing:

Botany Manor: What a cute little game! Puzzles were easy to medium (barring one or two that confused me enough to look up, only to realize I had either missed a mechanic or had the right idea but didn't follow through enough), and really just serve as a way to guide you through the scenic, titular manor--don't expect to rack your brain. I'll call out the music specifically as being a big contributor to the whimsical, "hike up your skirts and run through the garden" vibes.

This Ain't Even Poker, Ya Joker: Saw Northernlion play it which got me interested. One of the uncommon incremental games that doesn't overstay its welcome, I even hung around for a half-hour after I got all achievements just trying to optimize my deck. That doesn't sound like a lot of time but an extra 10% of fun past the completion point is pretty good!

Dunno what next, I've still gotta get back to Another Crab's Treasure but I play that on my desktop and it's so much easier to just lay in bed or on my couch and do laptop games... maybe I'll do Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? The free preface was cool

They're so enamored with the space age "in five years robots will do everything for us!" conceit that they're willing to retrofit a technology very much not meant for such a purpose, regardless of consequence. Like taking that drug that gives you hyperthermia for weight loss

unfortunately i've consulted my brain and it says i can't justify spending $150-$250 on a minipc for self-hosting when i have my old college laptop with 16gb of RAM and an i7-8550u laying around :(

I CAN however justify a decent USBC hub because the stupid thing only has like 3 whole ports and i'll want to get some kind of external storage plus ethernet. Also gonna repaste the CPU since it's still got the factory stuff from almost 10 years ago. I bought some of that thermal phase change stuff a couple years ago but never got around to actually putting it on there. Do you all think it'll still be good after sitting in the container or should I just get some new stuff? I can see thermalgrizzly has a pad of it

The source is this paywalled report, the headline of which notably doesn't go as far as the techpowerup one, though that might just be to bait people into buying access to the full report.

I know very little about fabrication itself, but it seems like the gist is it's impressive, but pretty expensive and pushing the limits of what's realistic with DUV. I wonder what the plan is if China still can't source (or develop) EUV tech soon?

Saw this mentioned in the news mega but was having trouble finding the original source, which appears to be this press release from Maine's DHHS

Suppose that following the resignation of a W-2 employee, the employer replaces them with an independent contractor. The contractor does the exact same work the W-2 employee was doing. Would this be a clear-cut case of employee misclassification? Is there any obvious caveat that would prevent it from being so? For the purposes of this hypothetical, assume it occurs in a state with fairly strong labor laws.

Thank you for participating in my thought experiment!

While everyone was focused on the BBB and its implications for student loans they just go ahead and do this.

Consider that there could be an all-powerful AI in the future that really hates existence, such that it would simulate a million versions of the people who created it and torture them for eternity. There's no way to know for sure that you're not one of those simulations right now!

Now that you know of Noko's Basilisk, you have no choice but to... not make the torture robot.

Bonus Expert Variation: Noko's Puppydog

The same thing, except the AI doesn't punish the people that made it, only gives the people who didn't a really cute puppy.

Instead of making laws like normal a judge from a hundred years ago gets to be the authority unless yet another judge decides to overrule them and become the new authority???

the only character action game I've played before is Metal Gear Rising but I dropped it because it wasn't meshing with me, I kept trying to play it like dark souls. I think I might have just spent too much time with souls and salad sorting games and now my brain is closed off to proficiency in other games

I know it's got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I've held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you're pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin's Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013
