This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension
- Comment on Discontinuing the Teensy at Adafruit 5 days ago:
So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, they decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor
That’s an interesting business decision…
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
It’s funny. I feel like with the switch 2 Nintendo finally listened to the fans who were saying they just want an incremental improvement. Just make the switch with a better processor. But they really just got too greedy with it and made it an incremental improvement in the worst way possible. Paid online, $70 games which never go on sale, paid switch 2 upgrade packs, LCD screen, digital download physical games.
It’s an incremental upgrade done as horribly as possible, it feels like people are struggling right now and Nintendo is trying to extract every dollar out of customers then wonders why the console isn’t doing well.
For me it’s a hard sell because like at that price why wouldn’t I just buy a steam deck. I don’t have to buy any new games, I don’t have to pay for upgrade packs to have my games run on it, I don’t have to pay for online services. I’m not going to have to rebuy games if I buy a steam frame or steam machine. It also has seamless save transfers, and steam is famous for its sales.
It’s just funny because I feel like people were asking for a switch with more power but now that it’s here like why would you buy it over a steam deck.
Also to top it off Nintendo’s lawyers are aggressively going after emulators, streamers and modders. Why would I want to support a company so hostile to its own community
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 weeks ago:
I run rfactor 2 on Linux. Might be an option for a more causal sim racer. It’s funny because I know other racing sims are more popular but my local VR racing sim location mainly runs rfactor 2 as well.
It runs on Linux, not sure if VR works with Linux though. I suspect the Steam frame may change that
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 5 weeks ago:
Thunderbolt is exactly that.
Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.
Thunderbolt 5 supports Displayport 2.1. I wish more devices used Thunderbolt compatible USB C ports. Or GPUs came with a Thunderbolt port on them. They’re pretty awesome, it’s like better USB C.
It seems like only laptops really use them to allow docking through a single cable
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Hmm this makes me wonder if the Steam Deck 2 will be ARM. If the Steam Frame works well if that could be a way for Valve to push more performance/battery life out of the deck
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 months ago:
This. Even if you were going to run a bare metal server it’s almost always nicer to install Proxmox and just have a single VM
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 months ago:
This reminds me of a question I saw a couple years ago. It was basically why would you stick with bare metal over running Proxmox with a single VM.
It kinda stuck with me and since then I’ve reimaged some of my bare metal servers with exactly that. It just makes backup and restore/snapshots so much easier. It’s also really convenient to have a web interface to manage the computer
Probably doesn’t work for everyone but it works for me
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 5 months ago:
I’m running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?
- Comment on Slicer software for a Linux system? 5 months ago:
Hmm I’m using it on Bazzite, which is based off Fedora 42 atomic. I haven’t really noticed any issues with it, though I haven’t printed anything in awhile. I’m using KDE
- Comment on Slicer software for a Linux system? 5 months ago:
I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I’ve been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it’s available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros

A little to the left is a cute puzzle game that might fit that category
