Du machst das sehr gut. Ich bin stolz auf dich!

Maybe try the Steam flatpak. Perhaps you are missing some dependency.

Isn’t one of Cloudflare’s biggest strengths that they have a shitton of servers around the world and can thus provide DDOS resilient caching?

Having a shitton of servers is kind of the antithesis of self hosting.

Definitely keep it simple for the first game. A Smash like was recommended in the other thread. I think that’s a fantastic idea. Start with a small roster of two characters and one stage and improve from there.

A smash type game would be great! Add characters from Tux Kart and from other open source projects. Maybe a paperclip and apple as well, as villains.

I loved my N95. It showed what an oldschool smartphone could look like.

Until the N900 came along and defined for me what a modern smartphone should look like. Thus killing my enthusiasm for all future Android phones.

But the N95 was sturdier. I still have it in my backpack as a backup phone.

Meh, the Sailfish guys made the same mistake that Nokia made in not open sourcing their work. That has kept me away from them so far.

Then again their company is still in business so maybe it wasn’t such a bad move after all.

Knowing Roblox it will probably allow adults to send unfiltered lewd messages to children…

I back up all user data, for me that’s some folders in /var, all of /etc (don’t need everything, but it’s small enough), mysqldumps and pgsqldumps of my databases and the output of dpkg --get-selections. And the backup script itself.

Everything is rsynced to a server in another location.

I want to switch to Borg backup but haven’t found the time yet.

For the first time in forever I am playing multiple games at the same time.

Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos. I had that game as a kid but I don’t think I ever got any further than the first enemy. And it’s amazing! The whole game is dubbed. And it has four protagonists to choose from, each with their individual voice lines about basically any situation or item you come across. And all the NPC’s lines match them and they address you by name.

And the graphics are super beautiful. Pixel graphics but with great details and animations. Like when you get your spellbook you get a super elaborate T-1000-like animation of some droplets forming a scroll.

X-Wing via XWVM: The old X-Wing game with updated graphics and quality of life improvements. Just awesome! It’s still an alpha but basically plays like a beta. I have hardly any bugs, just occasional crashes, and none are game breaking. And supposedly they are already pretty far along with TIE Fighter compatibility. Can’t wait to play that. TIE Fighter TC is nice and all, but stuffing everything into the X-Wing Alliance engine feels pretty clunky while XWVM just works.

Cyberpunk 2077: My son bought it on sale and I wanted to try it as well, although I don’t really like cyberpunk. Too realistic. But the game is great. Plays like a combination of Deus Ex and GTA. I’d say it feels more like the original Deus Ex than the newer Deus Ex games. Maybe with slightly less open levels. But not much.

Limbo and Inside: The games are about to be delisted from GOG so I got them quickly. It’s chill to play which suits me well. Love it so far.

Gotta check if my GPU even supports CEC.

HDMI-CEC seems to be currently unsupported. So you won’t be able to use your TV’s remote yet.

Nice! The revival is further along than I thought. Can’t wait to put it on my Steam Deck. And maybe my desktop PC will move into the living room in the near future. Would be the perfect timing.

Meh, spacetime curvature has so little effect that it actually does come down to measurement accuracy. And if you go to the scale of the whole universe it is flat as far as we currently know.

Now I wonder how LISA will handle curvature changes due to sun, earth and moon moving around, or if they won’t make enough of a difference.

The universe being non euclidian needs some extraordinary evidence.

Wat?

Plus, their equivalent of the AUR, the open build system, can actually be used to build packages for any system.

When I was on vacation with my father in Scotland we wanted to see the highland games in Glenisla. We needed directions or needed to know the exact date when they’d take place or so, so we went to some tourist information. That poor girl there had no idea what we wanted when we asked about glennis-law. But she soon figured out that we meant glen-ila.

The highland games were awesome, btw!

With SEPA transfer your choice of “card” is totally irrelevant. This has been a thing for decades (at least half a century, even before SEPA existed) to transfer money from one account to another. It’s easy and straightened. Nowadays it’s even quick.

I never understood why people felt a need for PayPal when you could just as easily send someone money. And if you wanted something with more customer protection there’s “Bankeinzug” for which I don’t even know if an English word exists. You basically give a company permission to pull the money from your account. In case of fraudulent activity you can retroactively revoke that permission.

Luke waking up and then telling his son Ben Skywalker that he had a terrible dream that didn’t make any sense.

I can’t even enjoy the good stuff like Andor because it’s part of the same cursed Disney timeline. If they scrapped the sequel trilogy I might be persuaded to come back.
