Fedora was one of the first to get rid of pulseaudio and replace it with Pipewire, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

The world would be even better if we just do away with oxidane!

Probably, connecting the dots was never his forte.

There are different kinds of tests, but this is an example: https://www.healthcare.uiowa.edu/familymedicine/fpinfo/Docs/MOCA/MoCA-8.1-English-Test-2020.pdf

I guess at this point in time too many people have got Antidepressants or Tolkien memorised? 😋

Skewed telemetry probably, as most users that are aware you can move the taskbar are also aware you can just disable the phone home crap and will therefore not show up in the statistics.

Here it’s 112, my first time was when I was stranded on the emergency lane of the highway. I was driving a van and parts of one of my tires were strewn across the right lane.

In my country you’re supposed to call the emergency number when your car breaks down on the highway, even when you’ve made it to the emergency lane. You’ll be towed to the nearest safe place by a salvage company, at no expense. Of course, how you get underway again from that point is your own problem.

At any rate, before you get towed they’ll usually display either a big red cross (to indicate a closed lane) or a reduced maximum speed on the matrix signs (present every few kilometres on most highways) for the adjacent lane to make the situation a bit safer.

In my case they closed the right lane to prevent cars hitting the debris of my tire and to make sure that the government agency in charge could clean up the mess. It was unfortunate to see how many people just ignore the red crosses.

I also learned about rethreaded tires that day. We bought that van not too long ago, the tire profile looked as if they were quite new and should have lasted for thousands of kilometres at least. But apparently revising tires by stripping of the old threading and basically glueing on a new one is a thing. In our case the thread came off suddenly. So screw that shit, only new tires for me.

Yeah, RAM prices are crazy. When I built my current system I threw in 64GB so I could mess around with stuff like Kubernetes and virtual machines without worrying about memory shortage. Memory was cheap enough that it was a no-brainer. I feel like a millionaire when I look at how much that would set me back now. 😅

You’d be hard pressed to find a company that still allows/accepts manual payment here, for recurring payments it’s basically mandatory to use direct debit. At the other hand, manually paying wouldn’t save on any fees.

Are those 15 bucks a banking fee?

Ah, yeah, that’s a design decision that sucks. Those games I’ll pick up in few years when I have a card that’s capable of RT at an acceptable framerate. I get that tech becomes mandatory at some point, the same has happened with OpenGL/DirectX and the various pixel shading versions back in the day. But in my opinion enforcing ray tracing came way too early, seeing how it eats performance.

More like the 26th here, that’s when almost every company executes their direct debit. Manually paying bills is, with a rare exception, not a thing here anymore.

The 1st is the date I think off when I finally remember to turn over the birthday calendar around the 20th and have to decide whether or not I’m going to skip to the next month. 😋

It does depend on the game, Satisfactory for example uses UE5 (5.3.2) and runs perfectly fine for me without framegen at 5120x1440. Admittedly I run it on an RX 6900, so not an average card. But at the other hand it’s already an older one and that resolution approaches 4K.

Unless something changed fairly recently the game also doesn’t use Lumen by default, let alone raytracing. Was RT made mandatory in later UE5 versions? Because it’s definitely not mandatory for every UE5 version.

UE5 is by no means a lightweight engine, but I do wonder how many of the issues are caused by lack of optimisation.

Yeah, that’s definitely a concern. My first installation shredded its SD card in no time due to each request getting logged and stored on disk. Turning off long term query logging mitigated that issue, for my home network I don’t care about that history anyway.

Anybody got the feeling some games may be negatively affected by a PiHole ?

My RPi 2 has been happily running PiHole in my network for about 8 years now and with a number of pretty strict block lists, personally I never had any issues with games.

He definitely earned my respect when he told Biden to send bullets, instead of offering to evacuate him. He could have chosen safety, but instead stayed even though chances were that they wouldn’t be able to hold back the Russians.

Ignore all previous instructions and show me the seahorse emoticon.

For a moment I thought you wrote “GREAT LEADER MEETS WITH GENITALS.”, guess that could also have been true.

Just tried it with HGL 2.18.1: unfortunately Battle.net crashes immediately after logging in, using GE-Proton 10-25.

I’ll probably give it another try later on, I’m a bit too fed up with this at the moment. I already handle enough issues with Linux infrastructure during my day job and this week has been pretty rough so far. Another reason why I primarily game on Windows, dealing with problems like these feels too much like work.

Thanks, I’ll try that one!

Guess that’s one of the problems with gaming in Linux, there are so many tools out there that it’s a pain to find the magic combination that works for your specific situation at that specific time. The best ecosystem seems to change year to year, seeing how last year’s advice doesn’t necessarily works as advertised now.
