I really like the Miyoo Mini Plus. I have two of them. There’s an alternative OS called OnionOS for it that’s awesome. It adds a bunch of great features. I also have the Miyoo Mini, and I think it’s just too small to game comfortably. The Plus is way more comfortable.

My friend has a Retroid Pocket 5, and he loves it. It’s way more powerful (and also more expensive) than the Miyoo, but holy cow, it is really amazing. It can play a lot more systems than the Miyoo can. It runs Android, so it can run a bunch of applications to help, like file browsers and transfer apps and such. It can also run Android games like PUBG.

Then there’s the Steam Deck. It can do anything. It’s the GOAT. Buuuuuuut, it’s really big compared to the others. There’s no putting one of those in your pocket.

Greatest font family ever. Both are like at least top five in their category in my opinion. I’d love to see a serif font from Canonical.

Plant?

Getting SAed by a woman doesn’t feel any better.

I use Valve’s Proton and don’t have this issue. That’s not it.

The parts of Nvidia’s drivers that they’ve released as open source are not enough to game on. You have to add additional code to actually be able to game, whether it’s community drivers or Nvidia’s drivers.

Stupid people think he’s smart because he uses a lot of jargon.

Yes, you need closed source Nvidia drivers. That’s a pretty heavily discussed topic. Basically, it’s because Nvidia refuses to open source their drivers. They’ve started open sourcing some components, which is nice, for sure, but not enough to game on. I buy AMD video cards specifically because they work really well on Linux without any work at all.

I’m surprised you’re seeing issues on Hogwarts Legacy though. My wife and I have been playing it over the last few months on two different machines both with Bazzite and haven’t had any issues at all. We don’t use Nvidia cards, so it might be an issue with Nvidia’s drivers.

You should check out Port87. :) You wouldn’t need to change any of your addresses if you bring your domain on. Custom domains is $10/month though, so it would cost you more. Hopefully the features would be worth it for you, and if not, you can always migrate it again to a different provider. That’s something I love about email. If you have your own domain, you can completely avoid vendor lock in.

That’s not the only thing it helps with. But you mentioned marketing, and that too is really necessary to build out a network of drivers.

Capital is also necessary to take the hit when there’s a dispute. If you can’t do that, people will have way less incentive to use your platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s open source at that point, people won’t care when they’re losing money.

I think the solution is a worker owned alternative, not just open source.

If you mean something like self hosted, it would be really easy, but no one would use it. Imagine you order a burrito and the guy just eats your burrito, and you can’t do anything about it. Or imagine you’re a driver and you deliver the food, then don’t get paid. You need a business in between to take the liability for anyone to trust it. It being open source wouldn’t really matter, because you need massive capital and infrastructure to make it work.

I meant that I made it. :) It’s my own email service, and I run it on Proxmox. So, take this with a grain of salt knowing that I wrote and run it, but I think it’s the best email service by far. I wrote an article about how it works really well for me here:

https://sciactive.com/2023/07/17/the-best-email-for-those-who-struggle-with-organization/

Feel free to sign up for free and try it out. :D

It’s got more than just VM management, but yeah, it’s a frontend for a bunch of other services, that you don’t need Proxmox for.

It’s great if you need what it offers. Otherwise, it’s simpler to set up something like Ubuntu Server.

I use Proxmox to run my email service, https://port87.com/, because I can have high-availability services that can move around the different Proxmox hosts. It’s great for production stuff.

I also use it to run my seedbox, because graphics in the browser through Proxmox is really easy.

For everything else (my Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc), I have a server that runs Ubuntu Server and use a docker compose stack for each service.

Constitutionally protected rights are now illegal. Got it.

Republicans sure do hate freedom.

I started learning when I was ten, so I’d say yes. That was almost thirty years ago when learning to code was less accessible, so having more resources should make it even easier.

It could be the same thing that happened to me. The dev could have realized what people were using it for and quit to not be a part of that.

I used to run an encrypted messenger called Tunnelgram. It had some advantages and disadvantages compared to something like Signal (signing in on multiple devices, the web, you didn’t need an existing device to set up a new one, the chat history was saved on the server (encrypted), groups were easy to manage and new users could be added on the fly and see all the old messages, but it didn’t have forward secrecy (if someone got your key, they could see all the messages you sent in the future)). After Jan 6, and reading about how the insurrectionists planned their attacks on encrypted messengers, I just didn’t want to be a part of that anymore.

Writing code. Server code doesn’t have a UI.

Ok, so don’t have sex with any loose monkeys in Mississippi. Got it.

Today I learned. :) Thank you.
