This is what I do as well. Process inheritance helps prevent any game that Steam runs from misbehaving outside it’s whitelisted directories.

Imagine being a dev and having this happen to you. Still, MFA is a thing.

Install and adblocker and then you can read the handful of paragraphs of actual content they posted. Also, get an auto reader mode extension. Unless you are really into all the distractions on page, that will help with sketchy gaming sites.

I would imagine that 40% is saying that hoping for a best case scenario to occur. Prices haven’t even plateaued yet, they are still rising, so at some point regardless their enthusiasm they will be priced out of the market.

The thought that hardware prices will drop to normal levels in the next few years is just wishful thinking.

“Have you tried enabling multi-threading? Did you turn on optimizations?” Ugh…

There are a lot of Docker GUI tools out there. There just isn’t Docker Desktop. Here are a few:

1. Portainer
2. Podman Desktop
3. Yacht (pretty sure this is unmaintained currently but still should work)

People complain that they hate live service models while failing to acknowledge that indefinite update/patch cycles is part of a live service model.

Yeah, you can’t just use wireguard directly on a home network depending on provider (CGNAT) and you can’t just switch providers as most providers are in a non-compete with other providers. So, Cloudflare Mesh or Tailscale is the best option for those.

Honestly, yes.

Aside from performance issues, UE5 based-games by majority seem to follow this washed out color palette approach that I don’t like. Its not inherently the engine though as I know Expedition 33 used UE5 and its very vibrant. Its just an artistic direction those games seem to take, I guess.

In the past, CryEngine due to performance. Kingdom Come: Deliverance on release really was buggy and felt like a typical CryEngine game. I can’t for sure say that it was the engine’s fault again because Prey didn’t seem to have those issues, but historically that engine has always been a mess.

As a networking guy, for homelab setups the router is not core of your network. That role falls on the switch. In a perfect world, you’d have a layer-3 switch handling traffic between segments and only send traffic to the router for egressing the network or a few other cases. But in the real world, you have to start somewhere and that’s what you did. Don’t let anyone tell you that you did it wrong. If someone can’t make things work without having the perfect equipment, its probably the wrong hobby for those people.

Regarding network-wide adblocking, I had a squid proxy running that did this. Every machine was issued a self-signed certificate and the connections were basically MITM so I could check the calls being made. You can run into some issues with SSL-pinning in Android or things like HSTS for common websites sometimes, but overall it did function pretty well after tweaking.

If you do decide later to replace your existing router, I’d suggest trying to build your own. My current router is a mini-PC with dual NICs running Arch configured to do packet filtering, routing, a few automations, etc. It was refurbished and cost me about $80 USD. Its a really good experience in building servers and learning how various routing protocols work.

Because development isn’t exactly asynchronous by nature. If you are waiting on placeholder assets, you are blocking everything dependent on “what comes next”. Even at the cost of going back to repopulate your assets with non-placeholders, you save a tremendous amount of time.

I want to hate on this guy, but at the same time this is just the reality of a lot of workflows these days. Most programmers I know professionally will do boilerplate work with Claude Code (like the chainsaw analogy he gave) and then do the more meaningful work themselves. Same for automating commit schedules.

Especially for small low-impact projects like Lutris (linux community loves it, but its just 3 people), if you’re going to maintain development speed, involving AI automation is probably going to be more of a positive to you than a negative. The real issue would be if the AI use snowballs and they unrealistically increase the scope of their project as that’s when most projects actually start to die.

The funniest part of that is psychically adept humans at the time in prehistory began to notice that souls weren’t returning (it was because they were being eaten in the Immaterium). Hence them coming together to group suicide themselves and form a mega-soul which was birthed as the person who later becomes the Emperor.

So, the birth of the Emperor is the indirect result of a bunch of horny space elves who couldn’t keep it in their pants.

I don’t want to hate on it, but at the same time why is everything AI just hyper-realistic uncanny valley perfectionism BS?

I know people harp on AI for stealing art, but honestly whose art are they stealing? Because its really bad. If we’re going to live in a dystopia can they at least steal art of people who are good at it.
