Not to go down a rabbit hole that’s off topic, but I’m generally not offended by Steam’s cut. The platform, advertising, centralizing, hosting, and cloud saves, etc etc, seem like a major benefit, especially for smaller developers, that would allow them to get to market faster, and with a much larger audience.

*70% - don’t forget Steam’s cut! There’s basically nothing left after that.

/s just in case not obvious

Not with that attitude!

that’s how i’ve been writing since about college, I think. My printed handwriting I mean - I so large/small caps only. It’s so much easier to read. but also my handwriting sucks.

How do YOU edge?

Ugh now even my Pi needs clothes??!? Ridiculous.

I’ve been doing computer stuff for a long time and now I have a really dumb question… what’s the benefit of 2x NICs?

In case you don’t have a 2.5gb switch and you daisy chain to a NAS or something?

I’ll have to take a look! Not heard of frigate, and thus far no, I’m not running Home Assistant.

I just found out that Blue Iris is made for Windows, so I guess I’ll be running BlueIris, NAS, and torrents back on windows, probably ltsc.

I know I could try a vm or other such, but I don’t feel like fighting BlueIris preferences.

Blows my mind that a “security and privacy” system like BI isn’t native to Linux.

I mean… that’s a good point. I only make bulk materials, like 1 ton supersaks, and we tend to OVERfill so customers don’t complain, with the target still being close to zero for a whole batch.

Most of our packaging machines require < 1%, target <0.5% variance (both ways). Honestly in practice, over a whole batch the total variance is extremely tiny.

Add to this story the accuracy of a household, not-calibrated scale? Yeah I’d say this seems OK.

I’m so used to it, I was expecting more. “that’s it?” - i thought to myself, in this boring dystopia.

That’s what I’m doing! I used it to make a “blog” of all the things I had to learn to switch to Linux for my home drives and daily gaming rig. Complete with copy buttons on the code blocks so I can do a complete reformat in minutes!

holy crap. I must have read it 3-4 times, STILL found nothing wrong, so I went to the comments. It took this comment train for me to see it, meaning you had to tell me literally what it was.

Human brains are so neat sometimes.

Hi Paul!

I installed mint, kubuntu, and pop on a 3060 laptop, and 3080 desktop, and none had issues with GPU, drivers, or gaming. I am brand new to this, starting 2 weeks ago, I’m not experienced for sure.

Lutris gave me a command line to update vulkan, or similar, but otherwise mostly CLI-free too.

Pop specifically has an Nvidia iso as well.

THAT SAID- I still agree this is a “hobby” and if you don’t have time to mess with it, then Linux still isn’t “it just works!!” Like people will claim.

Only somewhat related - I “joined” gnu/linux 10 days ago or so, actually moving my main pc to Ubuntu last week (PopOS). Anyway - being as green as I am, I did search for “beginner tips” or “things to do” when installing Ubuntu/Linux.

I was very surprised that publication websites listed “install Chrome”… and it pretty much made me ignore those guides. Linux forums, reddit, etc were fine and what I opted to follow.
