It said: “Go back to reddit with your violent calls to action.”

Wow, every single word in that sentence was wrong.

This would have only had a chance of working prior to adblockers becoming so rampant. They’re over a decade too late and now advertisers are just viewed as “the enemy”

Got this when I went to play fucking Max Payne 3 a few months ago. Why the hell does a 10 year old name need a rockstar account and why is it such a pain in the dick to restore access? It was easier to just pirate the fucking game and actually own it.

Have you gotten any of the mystery boxes from them?

Not the person you replied to but I liked the openness in the original a lot more, 2 and 3 were fun but I got nowhere near the replayability. The destruction felt a lot better in the original too from what I remember, crash a truck into a building and cave in part of it which was amazing for my 8500gt at the time… at 8 frames per second haha

I wouldn’t use it for security, use VMs if you need isolation.

I used Distrobox for various dev projects on Fedora Atomic and it worked great for that. I did a separate homedir mainly just to avoid dumping a bunch of crap into my real home but definitely have the expectation that anything you install has full access to the system.

I run FreeCAD via Distrobox as well since the flatpak performance was pretty bad and it’s wayyyy faster which is nice and preferable to rpm-ostree in my instance.

This looks great, I have EA via Bottles currently for BF3/4 would love to switch to this. Totally get why it doesn’t support BF3, BF3 using a browser launcher for the PC version was insanely stupid

I run this one on my T480 and it was honestly refreshing. I don’t believe the Microsoft store is even enabled by default which was a really nice change of pace from all the crap it’s usually got. Just enable what you want… how it should be but instead, “muh CoPilot”.

So many people don’t even question it. Talk loud and confidently enough and that’s the bar for most unfortunately.

TikTok, Instagram and similar are great examples of this, initially you think wow cool I’m seeing all of these new things and getting so much info. Then you see someone come up on a topic you know something about and the facade breaks when all they do is spew misinformation that attracts a crowd (usually via fear).

Soulseek via slskd on my NAS to fill in the missings from Lidarr works really well. Gluetun with a VPN and sharing everything as it grows

Cyberpunk runs ±5 frames from windows for me on a 3070, I don’t mod it though so can’t speak to that

So many of these companies have turned into shells of what they once were it’s really sad. NZXT used to be phenomenal, I had a side window crack on a case back around 2010 and they sent a whole damn case for free.

Nice I haven’t needed to relicense my ACF since I have a lifetime one but I am awaiting the eventual rug pull like DeliciousBrains did after WPEngine bought and enshittified them. Really feels like they just tried to secure as many “core” plugins for themselves which I’m really wary about.

Disable the license check in the plugin, you’ll have to get the code first somehow though.

Better off avoiding them as much as possible though, each one you add increases the already somewhat large range of potential attack vectors.

Qbittorrent via a container and web UI on my NAS, lets me use it as a backend for *arrs as well as anything else, just have tag based directories for it so Software goes into one folder and TV movies etc in their respective folders.

I personally like the setup a lot since I can always be a seeder even well after my ratio is hit.

slskd hooked up to this as well to share everything music wise, gives me a nice way to reconcile stuff Lidarr can’t find and shares it all back for anyone to browse so hopefully helps someone downloadv something they’re searching for a FLAC of

nzb360 on Android for management as needed, it hooks into Qbittorrent easily and gives me a nice place to do some quicker tasks for my overall infra

Yep FORScan let me set the VIN on an electronic power steering rack (because that’s totally cool to require so you can’t just replace it at home right?).

I beleive it is actually IDS just reverse engineered and more accessible, unfortunately not every maker has one of those out there it really should be legally required when you buy the car to at least get the software to “own” it.

The same reason they won’t let you buy the dealership scan software for under 10k. Almost every maker has an in house scanner and due to standards they only need to provide certain data to non dealer level tools and I believe the standard only exists for gas powered vehicles that need to provide OBD2 data. Plenty of makers (BMW is horrible about this) stuff away data where a normal obd scanner just won’t access and it’s gotten much worse with the overuse of CANBus (I sure love when my trunk lid sensor prevents my fucking car from starting).

Thats where your snapon and other third party scanners start bringing a gap, but even those are extremely pricey and need to be updated constantly and even those usually won’t do EVERYTHING.

Fwiw the cheapest and best way I’ve found is basically to pirate the dealer software and get a compatible knockoff scanner (vxdiag for example). I have Ford IDS and a couple others this way but assume that the software is gonna install something malicious and dedicate an old Thinkpad or something to it.

Depending on the age of your vehicle something like Torque Pro is extremely useful. I have mine monitoring transmission temp, long and short term fuel trims, O2 sensor signals, voltage, mass air speed, intake temp. It’s more than enough data to see something coming long before it becomes an issue.

Docker image layering and nightlies for the heavier installs has worked pretty well for me. Dependencies from things like npm, composer etc are all build time still but more of the base stuff is on a weekly build cycle. We just do notifications if the nightlies fail to manually resolve it which is very very seldom

I’ve been loving Bazzite as well, I didn’t have to install ANYTHING to have it working, no Nvidia drivers that try to force that stupid Game Ready crap, just installed the OS and steam and my games and it worked, it’s better than windows with ninite ever was as far as getting a usable OS was.

The Steam Deck was a big convincing point for me, after seeing how well it worked I just had to go for it. Last time I tried switching to Linux fully for gaming was ~2012 and it was a LOT rougher, Garry’s mod worked but had issues with filename casing and things like that
