Mmm, cheap compute, one of the best parts of the hobby is always having something to do with any computers lying around.

Better watch out, my first taste of the kernel was a dual boot Ubuntu installation in 2006, 20 years later and I administer hundreds of servers now. It escalates quicker than you think.

😂

I do not understand what is happening here at all, am I getting old lemmy?

You mean the same stuff that’s on my spinach and in my poop?

I still have strong memories of a dish my mother used to make a few times a year that prominently included water chestnuts and the sinking feeling I would get as I took my first bite. Blegh

this is the way

it has some unique console features, such as size (you can build one that size but it’ll be pricier for the same specs, see linus’s monstrosity), CEC support, and a dedicated internal antenna for lower latency wireless controller support

the pre-built market is still huge actually and this will be a pretty reasonable prebuilt for the majority of households

Thank you for sharing!

Very excite 😋

I was literally just pondering this. I’ve got a local backup job that is a very simple rsync command which I originally setup as a cron job. I’ve got a cloud backup job I setup later with systemd timers. I went to add a new backup job and had to decide which to go with.

There is absolutely still a place for the cron jobs. If you are aware of it’s limitations it cannot get simpler than a new /etc/cron.d/ file with a single line. But the systemd timer path offers some nice functionality in exchange for a tad more complexity and less footguns. Whichever one you understand the best is probably the best answer.

I think it’ll sell just fine. They’re not gonna manufacture them in console sized batches. They’ll sell what they make and manufacture more if people like it. Gonna pair well with the headset. I think it’s a rich kid and nerdy tech guy console.

probably not, they’ve been building a translation layer called FEX that does x86 -> ARM, reasonable to expect it’s an x86 build optimized for FEX and the hardware specs of the Frame https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

but honestly who knows, they might just release an ARM native build, it’s their own damn game, they were one of the earliest gaming companies to port games originally written for windows to linux, it’s entirely possible they’ll do a full port (am I remembering wrong internet?)

the FEX thing is underrated, I know FEX isn’t new but the news that we can expect to performantly run almost our entire steam catalogue on ARM hardware is wild

Megabonk and Hades, I love both of them so much right now

🥳

hobbies, most of them still cost something but it varies and you can usually keep or re-sell the equipment, bonus points if you can find someone else to enjoy them with

jesus christ it just keeps going…and going…and going

Srsly, I just watched a video and this was on his desk, wtf, where is this from, why is it on his desk?

I’ve been out of dota for a few years (I started playing back when it was a wc3 mod), anyone feel like giving me a rundown of some of the teams and current meta? I watched a few snippets from the playoffs and it was nice to see some of the old favorites like sand king/rubick and void show up. Looked like a lot of variety of heroes which is always a good sign.

We just hit phase two of food gardening, which is food preservation. We are canning for the first time tonight, 5 quarts of Roma tomatoes from the garden. Here’s hoping it goes well 🤞.
