MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•It's not about Highguard itself.English
2·2 months agoIts the same reason why WOW has persisted as long as it has, even with how dodgy the company has become year after year, they’re still tied at the top because it’s player base is locked in.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•It's not about Highguard itself.English
9·2 months agoIts over saturated because each of these games gate unlockables either under microtransactions or enough time that it effectively becomes the only game you play.
Boomer shooters welcome other boomer shooters, they only have a finite time worth of content before you’re replaying them for the sake of replaying them.

2·3 months agoI’m in the same boat, my main gaming pc is still bazzite for now (I use it like a HTPC) but eventually when i can be bothered I’ll be on cachy os as I’ve really enjoyed being able to use the arch-iness on my other devices that have it.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why go through the trouble to use Arch?English
3·4 months agoI’ve just gotten used to knowing i can get the latest and greatest and AUR makes a lot of stuff easy when it comes to getting stuff not readily available on the package manager. There’s not often i can’t find something i want or need to not be on there.
I’ve used both base arch and cachyos. I’ve landed on cachyos for now because i didn’t want to fiddle with games and wine and just wanted them to work and they just do on cachyos. Laptops that i don’t expect to game on just get base arch with hyprland installed, just mostly so i can get my tinkering fix from modifying hyprland

2·4 months agoNot very future proof, what if the “numbers” eventually no longer become numbers?
Bigwig Studio is made by some of the original Devs of Ableton i believe and from what I’ve messed around with it in a trial. It’s way better (stylish too). If I was less of an occasional dabbler in music production I’d absolutely pay for this. Linux is not a second class citizen to them which is great, any VSTs they release themselves always work on Linux natively too.
Theres also reaper, but I feel like the barrier to entry on that one can feel a bit daunting. It never feels just ready to go for a newcomer.
Theres also a bunch of different trackers that are Linux compatible some with VST support too, but that’s a very different way of making music from the traditional DAW.

2·5 months agoThis is the real way it becomes a tool. It points you in the right direction or gives you the keywords you need to find that direction yourself.
Always look up its sources or ask for them explicitly and move away from the ai as soon as you can.
As soon as you can start reading documentation, do it. Don’t have an AI summarise it for you.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.English
1·5 months agoI never said it was small haha. I did say it was big.
I never planned to get a server like this initially. Just the perks of having a partner working in IT for a school that’s decommissioning old tech since they’re outsourcing some stuff soon.

MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.English
1·5 months agoIt has 256gb of ram. I don’t remember the CPU power but it has 2.
I want to do self hosted storage, currently have 12-16tb (I’ve forgotten which). I’ll also want to have other services running. Like game servers or things like immich and jellyfin. I’ll also want to have something for git and probably Jenkins (or similar), then also a place to host anything I create that needs hosting.
When i asked where to begin with such a server, pretty much all of the responses were to go with proxmox. I’m not a fan that it’s nagware though so I’m open to other suggestions.

1·5 months agoI have a big super micro server i was given a while back but have yet to set it up. I was going to put proxmox on it. Would you recommend yuno over that?

1·6 months agoSo it does the earliest episode of one podcast, then the earliest of another and so on. That’s what I mean. So it’s not just all episodes sorted by date because then any recent podcast with less episodes of an older one will not appear in the playlist for ages
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PinePods Release v0.8.0 - "Mobile apps and massive perfomance bumps"English
2·6 months agoI fall asleep to podcasts (to help with tinnitus) the one thing that’s stopping me from going from my current podcast app is the ability to make a playlist and automatically sort the playlist so it alternates between podcasts starting with oldest episodes to the newest. Is that a feature with this? If not i might have to dip into some FOSS programming again when i get the time ;p

Built in gps is a bit shit now and my current car actually doesn’t have one unless i buy an overpriced encrypted sd card with the map data that if i want to update the maps for, have to buy again.
Phones and their map apps allow me to have up to date mapping that also show where there’s roadworks and closures so i can be rerouted elsewhere which is a godsend when you’re in a town or city you’re not familiar with.
Edit: built in now may not be shitter than it was but it is shitter than the new alternatives via android auto (i also don’t use Google maps by the way)
I made a composite cable for my Sega megadrive by splicing an RCA cable with two pieces of a thick paperclip. Worked great. I just had to remember which were the two holes to stick it in
