About us

Dunno if all the described changes have gone wide yet, but I’ve not had an ad on my Roku since I set up my pi hole. https://pi-hole.net/

IIRC I hid/disabled the recommendations row through the Roku settings.

Me and my wife (not much of a gamer) have been playing All Hands on Deck and she loves it. Shared screen co-op puzzle platformer. Wholesome family fun!

Haha ok psyop

Has any pirate site ever been trustworthy? And if you run pirated software, you get what you get. Roll the dice or wait for a Steam sale.

Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

I’ve been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It’s from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I’ve had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).

I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It’s kind of brilliant IMO.

Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn’t recommended, but I’ve found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn’t work right in a container) but it hasn’t caused any issues for me.

Edit: I should say I can’t speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.

I’ve had a regular issue on Linux for months where Firefox gets into a state where every open tab crashes when I interact with it (or the tab crashes immediately if I open a page in a new tab). Restart would fix it for a while, then the problem would come back. Started evaluating LibreFox last week and have been problem free so far. If it doesn’t do anything weird, I may make it my new daily driver.

Huh. First time I saw this post, I figured it was bait. I’m pretty sure I was subbed to a couple communities on hexbear. Occurred to me today when I encountered this post again that I’d not seen any hexbear content for a while. Turns out my instance has it blocked. Not sure if it’s for technical reasons or moderation reasons. Does that go in the mod log or somewhere?

So they’re reintroducing a feature in 2025 that they added to Firefox in 2010 and subsequently removed in 2013. Such progress. Much wow.

Can’t spell “copilot” without “cop”.

Kay’s Butter Pecan. I don’t think you can get it anymore.

Ask them why they don’t keep their toilet in their living room. 😆

Sweet tyvm for the info

Far out tyvm

I’m currently able to play BG3 in HDR (on Nvidia!) using gamescope. Once the Wayland stuff makes it to Bazzite, how would that change my Steam launch parameters? No more gamescope?

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --steam -- env ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% --skip-launcher

Not the most disappointing, but just to name someone that hasn’t been mentioned yet here:

Wife made me watch OUAT over the holiday break. Turns out Ginnifer Goodwin is a Zionist bc of course she is.

Edit: From Wikipedia

In February 2024, Goodwin signed an open letter by Creative Community for Peace rejecting calls for Israel to be banned from Eurovision 2024 amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Saitama. He’ll kick your ass before he realizes you’re trying to fight him.

Seventies baby here. We worried a lot about nuclear war, but the threat of nuclear war is probably greater now than it was then. It just doesn’t crack the top ten anymore. That’s how incredibly fucked everything is.
