Wait, just two weeks ago I was looking for a new GPS logging app and didn’t notice that there’s now an official (and non-official) dedicated Android app available. I’ll have to try it out.
I’ve been using Dawarich for a while now and the biggest problem was always finding a way to get a good app that can do both accurate, and battery-saving tracking.
Anyway, love the project and seeing it continually improving.
Never done this myself, but I believe gamescope should be able to do that? It should be able to run as the primary Wayland compositor and with the right flag you can expose Wayland to the client.
Oh yeah, Mint is also pretty special. It’s pretty good for non-gaming “it just works” purposes, but recommending it blind for gaming is just straight up evil: No Gnome. No KDE. Just three niche DEs that are still mostly stuck on X11. Meaning, that if you want to properly make use any recent monitor features (as in, decade old features) your only option is to switch to another distro.
It’s a surefire way to get someone to switch back to Windows.
Either that, or it’s Debian with its ancient drivers and libraries. Maybe even both.
Pretty good take. IMO, it’s also quite ironic that the FSF is pushing the same flawed logic that politicians do when they want to outlaw secure encryption, just for a different (noble) goal.
Agree. Outer Wilds is my favorite game and all the others in that section aren’t far behind.
That is, except for Ultros, which is a game I’ve heard about before but didn’t know it belonged in this category of games. I guess I know what I have to check out next.
First up, this fork is specifically about the Android client, not any other ones.
The fork of that always had some nice mobile battery saving features added, but morr importantly, the original version has been discontinued.
It seems to be a reaction to the restrictive design philosophy of Gnome but not moving too far from it at the moment.
For me, that’s indeed the main reason. I actually prefer their look and feel of Gnome, but absolutely loathe quite a few of their stubborn decisions, so I currently stick with KDE (which is also great). From what I’ve seen and tried, Cosmic seems to try and become a mix between those two.
That, and it’s neat having a DE that offers both tiling and floating and treats them as equally important.
Agree. It’s neat for file transfers and simple one-shot backups, but if you’re looking for a proper backup solution then other tools/services have advanced virtually every aspect of backups so much it pretty much always makes sense to use one of those instead.
I’ve also done the math a few times and every time the cost of GamePass was higher than the amount of money I would’ve saved in that same timeframe.
The only way I could’ve saved money would’ve been to not purchase any games not on GamePass and limit myself to (worse) games included in the subscription.
So if I, someone who purchases and subsequently abandons a lot of game, so basically the target audience, can’t make GamePass work, I wonder how many people just run on copium when they mention how much money they save. Either that, or they treat gaming like junk food and don’t care about quality.
I personally prefer lazygit nowadays, but when it comes to GUI clients on Windows then Git Extensions is definitely a very good pick.
I particularly like that it doesn’t hide that it’s just executing git commands under the hood and its focus on the history graph. Those two things really helped understand how git actually works and why I’m still recommending it.
There are some caveats, but you could always extend your storage capabilities with a USB-DAS. I currently have two with 4 slots each extending a small NUC-style server.
PS: I don’t see a mention of at least one SSD. If not already planned, you should at the very least use one for the OS.
I’m almost certain it’a troll, maybe even a previously banned one. Given their username it would be very ironic otherwise, considering that so far, in the week since they’ve created the account, they’ve only commented in order to rail against things that respect user freedom.
Eh, while I agree that some recommendations are dodgy at best, I’ll argue that Wireguard is not only adding to security, it also makes Fail2Ban obsolete. Due to the way it works, you’ll completely hide the fact that you’re even running a SSH server at all, and this includes even Wireguard itself. More importantly though, it’s pretty much impossible to set up Wireguard in an insecure way, whereas SSH provides you with plenty of footguns. You’re not risking locking yourself out either.
Also, security comes in layers.
Exactly. No root login and no password login will do just fine as basic measures, but after that Wireguard is perfect tool for this, no weird rituals required and also quite useful for any other services you don’t want and/or need to expose to the internet as well.
As much as I’d like to see this game preserved, I don’t think the dev can be held responsible when they’re refunding everyone who purchased the game.
At the very least, a save game editor wouldn’t be too hard to create when running your own server.
Though that got me thinking if there’s some kind of GDPR shenanigans one could already utilize to get all your account data. I kind of doubt it, but it would be hilarious.
Looking at this map there seems to be at least some correlation. There really needs to be popular advocates for each language and country, particularly for the smaller ones and those with a low english speaking population.
Agree. I don’t know this person, but at best he didn’t understand the campaign and also overdosed on defeatism. At worst he’s intentionally misrepresenting the campaign and lobbying against better consumer rights.
Agree, there’s no way this is the whole story. Someone is hiding something. If that isn’t the FSFE then I’m guessing that the payment processor set the whole thing up as a flimsy reason for kicking them out with a “justified” cause. As to why, who knows.
