Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).
redditor since 2008, hoping kbin/the Fediverse can entirely replace it.

Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.
Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.
I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.
Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).
Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.
LCD for extra brightness? I don’t think you’ve been keeping up as mobile OLEDs are usually brighter than mobile LCDs. Not that there are many LCDs left.
The Nokia XR21 is one LCD phone released in 2023:
IPS LCD, 120Hz, 450 nits (typ), 550 nits (HBM)
Another phone with brightness listen on gsmarena is the Oukitel WP30 Pro:
IPS LCD, 120Hz, 430 nits
Take a few popular OLED phones for comparison…
Galaxy S24: Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 2600 nits (peak)
iPhone 15: Super Retina XDR OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 1000 nits (HBM), 2000 nits (peak)
Or for consoles, Steam Deck LCD is about 400 nits, while the OLED is up to about 600, or 1000 in HDR.
This is less of an issue in multiplayer games, as they rarely have very narrow FOVs by default. The worst offenders are often console ports and slower first-person games.
FWIW while it’s a competitive advantage with high FOV, if there is a slider, it’s still fair since everybody can use a higher FOV if they want to.
It’s not all advantage though, aiming gets harder (aside from the distortions).
I don’t see why it matters at all in single-player. So what if it makes the game easier? Who cares?
The fact that I don’t have to stop due to almost vomiting also makes it easier in a way, but I really don’t mind.
The fact that the optimal FOV differs on a per-player basis is of course exactly why I want a FOV slider everywhere. I usually prefer about 105 degrees horizontal (in 16:9), while some modern games default in the range 75-85.
FOV slider and option to disable head bob if present. Games with a too narrow FOV and/or head bob are unplayable for tons of people who suffer from motion sickness, and it’s such a shame to have so many good games ruined by it.
How is that relevant? RTX 4080 is not a the minimum requirement for Starfield.
Last time I saw this headline my brain just skipped “least” and read it as the buggiest game to date.
Mine is doing it too, and I never voluntarily watch any right-wing-related content (not even anti-right-wing). It’s usually anti-trans rhetoric it tries to push on me.
I used it probably a month ago, too.
The key words are “delivered to the target”. They use WAY, way more power than they deliver to the target, so if you take the energy generated divided by the total energy used, the number is WAY, way below 1. Probably a fair bit below 0.1 too.
I play with a friend. If it works out anything like Divinity: Original Sin 2 we’ll be finished maybe around April or something.
We usually play about 1 hour at a time, almost never more than 1.5 hour… and about 2-4 times a week. So it’ll take a long while, but it’s a lot of fun.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I can probably count the number of games I’ve paid full price for in the past 15 years on one hand, and this is one of them. No regrets whatsoever.
Looking back on Steam, last time was GTA V. Prior to that Skyrim, and prior to that Portal 2.
How is that a contradiction?
The Open Internet (OI) is a fundamental network (net) neutrality concept in which information across the World Wide Web (WWW) is equally free and available without variables that depend on the financial motives of Internet Service Providers (ISP).
Open is not the opposite of private. You can have an open internet where your information is not shared with third parties, i.e. private.
The name, and domain. It will be x.com with the X logo, and no birds anywhere.
A different kind of advice: be vigilant with security updates, and remove services you’re not using.
Using insecure software makes it likely you’ll get hacked sooner or later, especially if automated scans can find your server. (For example because it’s listed in a search engine, or part of some network like the fediverse).
More than I feel makes sense to post TBH. But a few important ones (for Firefox):
uBlock Origin
Sidebery to get my tabs in a vertical tree; if you often have more than 10-15 tabs I really recommend this!
Bitwarden (password manager)
Checker Plus for Gmail + Checker Plus for Google Calendar, easy-access email/calendar in a small window, I very rarely actually go to gmail.com
Return YouTube Dislike
Tampermonkey for userscripts on Kbin
Video Speed Controller, I use numpad +/- to increase/decrease speed by 0.25x, works basically everywhere including YouTube
Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
