- Comment on What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services? 1 day ago:
I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

- Comment on AI Agents Can Autonomously Coordinate Propaganda Campaigns Without Human Direction 1 week ago:
I hate how these kinds of things are always framed. The implied message is always that “AI” can autonomously decide to go of the rails. Similar to the Moltbot craze. The agents have to be told to go do the things they do. They don’t have free will.
Using a combination of network science and large language models, the same underlying technology that powers systems like ChatGPT, the researchers created and monitored synthetic bot agent personas, their posts, and their interactions with one another, simulating what a coordinated AI-powered social media network might look like.
So yeah, LLMs can used nefariously to great effect. They’re essentially more sophisticated bots.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 2 weeks ago:
I would use Debian for servers, except that the version of Podman (at least on Debian 12) was old enough that it couldn’t do quadlets. So I went with Fedora.
- Comment on Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE? 2 weeks ago:
Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.
The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.
- Comment on Lemmings, please give us your info dump. 4 weeks ago:
They mentioned MoCa. If you have cable (like for the tv) you can probably use MoCa. It’s fantastic.
- Comment on Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooter 5 weeks ago:
They will forever remind me of Shattered Galaxy and how there has never been anything else like it.
- Comment on The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026 2 months ago:
It doesn’t. The knife is actually really, really cool. I’d heard about it a few months ago and if I had the disposable cash, I’d by one.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
Machine learning is not viable for anything other than simpler 2d games or small segments of more complex games. The training required to get good results on that is intense already.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 months ago:
Also, this isn’t possible with current or even next gen tech, unless they literally script the “AI” responses to all available situations which would be infeasible.
LLMs can’t reason or handle complex situations. They are text auto complete programs or image generation programs.
- Comment on When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires. 2 months ago:
AI isn’t the only thing you can use a computer for now. If you ignore AI and corporate software, there’s loads of mind expanding activities in computing.
Take a look at what you can self host with commodity hardware (barring the insane RAM prices right now).

It’s always amusing when the most hysterical person in the room tells you you’re overacting.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
The Wikipedia page has a brief description of the unpaid labor scandal. I also remember there being some sexual abuse allegations.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 months ago:
Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.
I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 2 months ago:
This is one of the coolest things about Universal Blue OSs like Bazzite. You can very easily roll your own custom OS based off of one of their images. And it’s all automated.
I feel like that’s the best of both worlds. Extreme customizability and standardization.

Need For Speed: Modern Warfare?

Give me a new Mega Man X, please.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 3 months ago:
Yeah, you did pull it out of thin air.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 3 months ago:
95%+ of you would be leaving massive, massive performance on the table by using Linux
Pulling numbers out of thin air.
Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.
Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.
But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.
- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 3 months ago:
Linux will be significantly worse
Is the significance in the room with us? All I’m seeing is marginal difference at this point.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 3 months ago:
Steam has a lot more demos these days than it used to, and it’s great. I do not like buying, trying, and refunding games. But demos? Hell yeah. I’ll try those on a whim.

I guarantee I will never use this information. But thank you anyway.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 4 months ago:
I only got Steam when HL2 released because I had no need for it before then. I don’t remember having any real negative feelings about it.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 4 months ago:
I love the vertical task bar in KDE. It does exactly what I want it to, and that’s so refreshing.
- Comment on What does Oracle actually do? | Good Work [11:47] 4 months ago:
Sadly I’m in this boat. We use Oracle database and have stored procedures all over the place. For us, the cost to convert everything would probably be huge.
I’d love to switch to PostgreSQL.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 4 months ago:
Bazzite already fills this niche. It just doesn’t have the Steam name on it.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 4 months ago:
TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 5 months ago:
I love just driving around doing nothing in Cyberpunk 2077.
