Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein!
- Comment on Call of the Sea, a cozy Lovecraft game? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately I can’t play it. Something with the way the camera works. I’ve got Long Covid and some games are too exhausting for me.
Strangely enough Kingdom Come Deliverance was a breeze. I’ll never understand this sickness. I would have guessed it’s the other way around.

Nice, have it on Epic. Gonna try it.
- Comment on The first publicly open instance 2 weeks ago:
To mitigate the risks you could put the local server into its own network where it cannot reach anything else in your home.

- Comment on Messier 104 2 weeks ago:
Probably mine as well, since it’s the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
- Comment on @ ask @ nostupidquestions what are these messages from # d 2 weeks ago:
Due to some error you are seeing HTML code instead of any real content. Apart from the link there is no useful content in there, unless there’s more you didn’t show. Copying the actual text you got is easier and more useful than a screenshot. Of course it might contain private information.
Tagging a second community won’t post it there. Probably to prevent spam. You’d have to create a second post.
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 3 weeks ago:
I like the ones where you scan the item while putting it into your cart much more. I can sort everything into my reusable bags right away. No needless shifting from the shelf to the cart to the cashier to the bag to the cart into the better bags in my car.
Only easier thing is when we order online and they put everything into sturdy baskets you can borrow instead of bags.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 the other day because I am eager for the Gothic 1 Remake (where I won’t be patient) and people have often compared the two franchises for their freedom and immersive mechanics. And of course the inherent Euro-jank.
I really like it so far and can handle it much better than I expected.
And incidentally for this community it is currently on sale on GOG. I’m playing the free version I got on Epic a while ago.
- Comment on How do I hang a clock that has two mounting holes using only one hook? 1 month ago:
Could you screw a piece of wood into the one hole and then put two hooks into the wood?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Picked up The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. So far it seems to be a nice little German point & click adventures.
- Comment on What is your most loved game manual moment? 2 months ago:
Not exactly a manual but I got stuck in Day of the Tentacle. Finally I caved and ordered the official hint book. Back then that meant sending them a letter. No idea how payment worked. My parents probably helped me with that.
It took an eternity to arrive. A few weeks at least. In the meantime I tried to progress the game. The day before the book arrived I managed to do it (use physics book with horse). And once I was past that I managed to beat the rest of the game.
But it wasn’t in vain. The book contained the story of the game written like an essay by Bernard (basically the game’s main character). It was pretty funny. So I didn’t regret ordering it.
- Comment on AFFORDABLE selfhosted nocode relational databases? (à la Baserow/NocoDB, etc.) 2 months ago:
That’s the way it goes with the scale from simple to “something that fits our needs”. Either something is too simple or it is so complex that you can’t let your more challenged users at it. So you end up rolling your own solution.
That’s how many companies end up with monstrous Excel or Access applications.
The upside of having your own app that uses common open source components is that integration with other tools is easier later down the line. Make it web based and it can run on basically every computer on the planet. Use PostgreSQL or MySQL in the backend and you can easily add other frontends if needed.
- Comment on Meteor rumbles over Houston, as 6-pound fragment crashes into a Texas home 2 months ago:
If I had a nickel for every meteor that hit a house this month…
- Comment on Before I get a job, I'm experimenting with a free VPS - Will it work? help? 2 months ago:
Isn’t Oracle still giving out free servers? They are known to pull the plug on those without warning, but it should be enough to play around with and set it up in a way that you can get it running again quickly if it goes down, which is very valuable knowledge.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 3 months ago:
I still use swap for those rare moments i run out of RAM after all. Who knows maybe some heavy cronjobs will clash or whatever.
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 4 months ago:
Other way around. Sunshine is the server, Moonlight is the client.
- Comment on PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup 5 months ago:
Yes, that’s the whole point of Linux on a phone. The ability to easily use existing software. The app already has small screens so using it on a phone should be possible without any trouble.
- Comment on PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup 5 months ago:
Use Nextcloud’s desktop client? Or the cli client with cron/systemd timers. Or any old webdav client.
- Comment on PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup 6 months ago:
Can’t wait for proper Linux phones to be more viable so that we have more control over shit like this.
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 6 months ago:
And it’s taken down most of Lemmy’s “selfhosted” images.
- Comment on Fan Subber 10 months ago:
Oh yes! And I really miss getting translations for the theme song. I used to have an NGE version where it would alternate between the translation and the Japanese version. That was great.
- Comment on Fan Subber 10 months ago:
But seriously, fan subs are often so much better than professional ones. With so much more love and care.
- Comment on What do you use for notes? 1 year ago:
Nextcloud. But only because I already have it. I wouldn’t set it up just for that.
