Imagine being this smug about what OS people choose to use

tl;dr: Don’t install drivers from unverified sources

cars are freedom

What about my freedom to walk or bike? My freedom to be able to cross the street? My freedom to get milk without taking 2000 pounds of metal with me?

Cars warp entire cities around them. In an ideal world, everyone would be able to own a car, but very few people would need to own a car

Dredge! I played it entirely on Steam Deck, and it was a great, relaxing, intriguing experience. Would recommend

I’m lucky enough that my backup server is at my parent’s place I’m their basement, so it’s off-site by already

Tankies fuck off

You don’t even need a 12th/13th gen chip tbh. I went from a server with a GTX 1660 to one with an i5-8600 (Well, multiple actually - it’s a kubernetes cluster). They can handle multiple 4k transcodes just fine.

I’d love to, but there’s no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS’s IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

Fedora for coders

And Manjaro for no one. The distro is run by clowns

Nothing is preventing you from doing it, but there’s friction between each one.

In a game like last epoch or poe, you hop in your map/monolith, blast it, exit, dump your shit in your stash (which is right next to where you go in and come out), then go right in the next one.

That last part is where diablo stumbles. There’s too much downtime between each dungeon. Too much busywork, not enough demon killing.

Leveling is an expected part of the ARPG experience, and it comes before the endgame. When it comes to the endgame itself, I don’t mind some friction, but it’s important where that friction is placed. If I just want to log on and mindlessly kill monsters for a couple of hours, there shouldn’t be anything discouraging me from just turning my brain off and doing that. Diablo 4 feels like it places obstacles between players and the main activity of the game.

An example of friction done well is PoE. Crafting and trading are both time consuming and sometimes tedious experiences, but blasting maps is always just a click away.
