Exciting!! OpenRGB is so consistent and helpful. It has become a key utility that I take for granted.
At log-in, I use it to set the colors for my peripherals and internal pc lights.
Every time I boot up Resident Evil or a similar game after sundown, I hit a quick openrgb -m off and no longer have to worry about the lights distracting me.
Migrating my workflow to NixOS right now, and it’s really made me realize just how good Arch Wiki is. NixOS and Nix are a bit disjointed in terms of documentation and learning resources. But Arch Wiki usually helps me gain intuition for which software does what and what traits I’m able to configure.
Non-Arch-Linux Linux users should absolutely consider the Arch Wiki when troubleshooting or learning about the Linux ecosystem! I’m not sure there’s a better broadly-applicable resource out there.
What a wild rabbit hole that was… most memes posted have image diffusion artifacts, and most text posts are clearly LLM responses.
But between editing memes, moderating and posting, it’s impressive dedication. And doing it on the Fediverse is absolutely targeted. This is pro hater hours.
Hmm. Essential Mod adds paid, bedrock-style cosmetics to Java. They do help offset the costs of their servers, which are necessary for letting players join friends directly (without UPnP, vpn or port forwarding). These cosmetics are visible to other essential players, and equivalents (3d character additions) are not freely attainable without another mod.
“Essential” taints any Java modpack in my opinion.
I can’t speak to their Bedrock Marketplace content. I dislike the Bedrock Marketplace and think it is full of (and heavily advertises) low-quality, overpriced slop, and that Microsoft takes far too big of a share, but if Spark’s content is well-made, I think it’s fair to sell.
With the alternative being CurseForge, I’ll still probably continue to use Modrinth as a content creator and as a player. I’m cautious about this, though.
To get started, you’ll need to be willing to install and learn a hacked client (it’s very difficult to play on 2b2t without), pay $20 / month per account for priority queue and deal with hostile players. I think the server performance is improved since I tried years ago, but still expect slow render distances and sometimes bad lag.
The server’s history is really cool, and while some of it remains in physical form, most of it is destroyed. Plus most of it is hundreds of thousands of blocks away— in fact, you have to walk a ridiculously long ways to even find a tree. Imo it’s better to watch videos about it than to play.
There’s some real geniuses on there tho! Megabases have insane builds. And something like 30% of players online are bots, and the developers of the bots are players. They push the limits of exploits, glitches and hacks. So that’s cool at least!
On modern devices (pretty much anything that supports 5Ghz) it feels rock solid to me. I can forget I’m streaming. Even my old laptop from like 2013 gave me really good results. In my case I usually stream to something in the same room as that router, so ymmv.
I’ve tried the moonlight homebrew on my “New 3DS” though, which only has 2.4Ghz WiFi, and had less success, even with the ridiculously low resolution. I usually can play for a minute or two, but as soon as there’s one lag spike it’s like it can’t catch back up. I need to try it again though, a recent update may have helped, I just didn’t test it thoroughly. But that’s, like, pretty niche haha!
My solution: I have a second, older (wifi 5 tho) router in access point mode plugged into my computer’s Ethernet port, and when my pc is on it forwards internet from its wifi connection to it. When I’m streaming to a device, it is the only device connected to that network. That also lets my computer have a wired connection to the router.
Additionally, I analyzed the network utilization near me to find which WiFi channels had the least congestion. Tbh tho, as long as the channel is different from your main router, you’d probably be fine.
I originally set it up for streaming wireless pcvr to my Quest 2, but I’ve found it works perfectly with Sunshine + Moonlight.
+1 for OpenSCAD! If you have experience with scripting/coding, it feels really comfy. There’s a nice wikibook that taught me the basics.
The full release hasn’t been updated since 2021, so I highly recommend running a development snapshot. The preview and rendering are much more performant. Enable the “manifold” engine if it’s not on by default.
It works fine OOTB, but I customized it a bit to match my workflow: I use vim with an LSP as the text editor, and I use git to track my changes.
Now I’ve began using bosl2 in most of my projects. It has a lot of QOL features and can save a lot of work.
This one is a bit more traditional than the original, plus I think people who have used steam decks have come to like the controls, especially the capacitive joysticks and the touch pads. That’s my guess as to why the hype is there.
I definitely got myself excited and bought into the launch hype.
Valve has a really solid track record at this point in time though. And most of the features aren’t new: they’ve existed in the Steam Deck. Also we’ve seen reviews from different publications now, and I watched GN’s teardown, which blew me away with how repairable the device is. Unfortunately for me, I understand why the demand is there. But I do hope there’s more stock soon

Looks a bit like Meidri (link sfw, source manga/anime is definitely not) from Interspecies Reviewers

I’m thinking their partner let them for Tux.

Either way, there seems to be an error in the block pushing table: chests and shulkers are immovable on Java, not Bedrock.

Redownloaded Overwatch recently. Haven’t played since before OW2.
Nowadays I have much more mechanical skill than I previously did, but I also don’t know half of the characters now.
It’s weird being most valuable to my team by playing DPS. I’m lucky too that I had some friends who play healer and tank, ngl.
Inb4 Bambu forks the code
I think you can upload a video file to your instance? Idk if that’s the only way to have it embed nicely tho

Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.
Like how he’s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.
Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s
