  • Solving Steam Deck Shader Storage with a 61.44TB SSD

    Jump

  • 60TB is a lot. My library almost fits on a 4TB drive, but I don't play modern COD or Battlefield. All the huge AAA games nowadays are huge in storage cost as well, so it's probably be possible to fill it all up.

    Edit: Fixed 4GB typo

  • Top played games on Steam Deck for the month of October, sorted by playtime.

    Jump

  • I don't get why cyberpunk is consistently that high on the list. It barely runs playably on the deck.

  • Alabama Mayor Kills Self After Right-Wing Blog Outs His Cross-Dressing

    Jump

  • The people who make a /s like this necessary should be banned from the internet for a month at a time.

  • Alabama Mayor Kills Self After Right-Wing Blog Outs His Cross-Dressing

    Jump

  • “The problem? It’s not clear he’s a hypocrite. If he’s not a bigot, why is he being outed?”

    Because every issue has exactly two sides nowadays. And this guy uses twitter, so he should have noticed that by now.

  • How to begin setting up a media center?

    Jump

  • I have DSlite on my home internet connection, which makes DDNS pretty much impossible. OP should check for that.

  • How to begin setting up a media center?

    Jump

  • DDNS is only required for when you want to share it with other people. For accessing your own stuff from anywhere, there's tailscale. I set aside 30 minutes to read into it and set it up, but found myself with a working VPN between my phone and PC after just 3 minutes. And it's completely free for this use case.

  • Thruster suit question [Factorio Space Exploration]

    Jump

  • Yes, the thruster suit is better than the power armor when you first unlock it. But you'll eventually get better power armor again so swapping starts to make sense later.

  • Excluding Factorio, what’s your favorite automation game and why?

    Jump

  • Dyson sphere program. You just need a little bit of space to be able to retroactively add belts into existing stuff because of the 3d belt placement and logistic drones are cheap, so you can ship loads of stuff with them. It lends itself wonderfully to spaghetti factories, which is my favorite kind of factory.

    It's also absolutely beautiful. You can just stop and watch the glowy cubes flow at night or witness an incredible sunrise over the factory. And that gets better as you progress because, well, you're building a dyson sphere.

  • Friday Facts #377 - New new rails | Factorio

    Jump

  • So does my steam deck. Even 80 hours into space exploration, it runs without a hitch and the fan is only audible when I ride a rocket to another map.

  • [factorio] what kind of train network do you like most?

    Jump

  • I tried building a grid with two-lane intersections, my trains weren't able to plan routes where they need to go around a grid cell and turn around (which was definitely possible without using the same rail twice), then I tried troubleshooting it for 1-2 hours and decided to give up on trains until I need them to bring in ore from far away.

  • My few remaining gripes with linux

    Jump

  • That part is stupid indeed. If you run X, do xinput and find your trackpad. Then do xinput list-props on that to see all the settings there are. Xinput can also change them with xinput set-prop and they reset after a reboot, so feel free to fiddle around.

    Once you're done, just slap your settings into a script and run that on startup, then you're set.

  • Semantics: What's the greater security threat to the Federation?

    Jump

  • I agree that it goes against their core values, but they have shitloads of internal sensors that could be used very unethically.

  • I'd really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of "how too" videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don't worry if it's mundane, I'm open to any suggestions.

    Jump

  • I've been using it for a while now but I struggled at the start because I tried doing windows things, but on linux. Thinking about what I actually use my software for and searching for software that way is much better than trying to find alternatives to windows stuff. A video on that with some examples would be great.

  • In-ear headphones or over-ear headphones?

    Jump

  • I'd recommend against Sony IEMs. I know multiple people who got theirs replaced under warranty (WF-1000XM4 and 5), one of them twice. They tend to not last for very long.

    I have some WH-1000XM4 over-ears and they're not terrible, but not worth the money either. They need an equalizer to sound decent.

    But before you buy anything: Can you wear IEMs comfortably for a long time? I got some weirdly shaped ears and horrible earwax, so I don't bother with those at all.

  • ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

    Jump

  • This has been memed about forever, no one knows what the majority does.

  • ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

    Jump

  • These things feel like they are made by microsoft. You click somewhere, wait 3-10 seconds and then you can click again.

  • ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

    Jump

  • It has to be more sophisticated than that. Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

    It probably checks your answer against the current model's best guess and if it's close enough, you get a pass and your input is added to the training data for the next iteration. The more wrong you are, the more challenges you get.

  • ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

    Jump

  • I still don't know whether you're supposed to hit those and I also don't know if it's normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.

  • Grayjay. It's still a bit buggy but exactly what you're looking for.
