That is just amazing! Been there, felt that! Enjoy!
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 1 month ago:
Matrix+elements is very easy to selfhost in any homelab. works well enough for goverments. Federated and easy end to end encryption. And one can easily set up a web archive bridge forvarchiveable rooms.
That beeing said i still think IRC is the best for pure text chat.

- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 2 months ago:
Same. Before it was a mess of various wine tricks to get things working, now it is very easy.
Also the great return policy! Can buy, try, return if it does not work. Steam is really knocking it out of the park, when compared to everything else. - Comment on ‘It made me cry’: photos taken 15 years apart show melting Swiss glaciers 3 months ago:

- Comment on Google cancels plans to kill off cookies for advertisers 3 months ago:
Total cookie protection can have site breakage, even for very casual users. And it is enabled by default. That beeing said it is easy to stop for a site. And quite rare. Total cookie protection is a very nice fix for the cookie tracking issue imho.
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
That they are miles better then the competition, does not mean there are no room for improvements.
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
Steam is the only store putting the cusromer first. The refund policy is top notch. Heck just making proton, giving gamers the choise of os, is the best thing for gamers since computers was invented!
- Comment on Rock Eagle Flag 4 months ago:
From other countries that have regulations: prevent known criminals, known serious mentally ill people, known abusers, from having guns. Enforce gun lockers, and responsible ownership. Enforce education and training.
Most countries still have guns you know. Even just the gun lockers would prevent the us rampant murdering toddlers. - Comment on arthropods 6 months ago:
I imagined they used bugs per license plate for that. Since those are fixed size and vertical.

Closing to 6k. There is just infinite replayabillity. Then you add mods, and friends.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 9 months ago:
All chat tools after irc have been trash for large communities. That includes slack. Irc somehow still works with 1500 people in it. I can not explain how. With a logging bot the discussions can be archived for google searchabillity. I guess that could be true for a discord or slack also, But i never seen it implemented. In most slacks i can not search more then 60 days back.

Very well executed responsible disclosure. Good to see all the linux distro’s and vendors cooperating. Read the timeline :

How often depends on how much work it is to recreate, or the consequences of loosing data.
Some systems do not have real data locally, get a backup every week. Most get a nightly backup. Some with a high rate of change , get a lunch/middle of the workday run.
Some have hourly backups/snapshots, where recreating data is impossible. CriticL databases have hourly + transaction log streaming offsite.How long to keep a history depends on how likely an error can go unnoticed but minimum 14 days. Most have 10 dailes + 5 weeky + 6 monthly + 1 yearly.
If you have paper recipes and can recreate data lost easily. Daily seems fine.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
Absolutely. I have not pirated a single game since I got steam. Before that it was almost exclusively pirated games. no shops close by, and buying on mail order took FOREVER! and was very much hit or miss… And impossible to return.
I did buy most of the games that i enjoyed, and played a lot. Since i wanted the box on the shelf. but i still played the pirated version. since that was much easier then puling out the book and look at the 5th word on the 3rd paragraph on page 121 for the copy protection. :) - Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
having a company that is not actively trying to exploit us is surprisingly refreshing.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
do not give them good ideas. I need steam to have all games since it is the only one with any good linux support. it does not matter if EGS have free games if i can not play them.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
for sure! steam liberated my machine from a windows dual boot partition. and made me go 100% linux all the time. gratitude is not really strong enough. it is more like when you have been captured, and then set free.
- Comment on xkcd #2866: Snow 11 months ago:
I am always impressed by how randall can show a lot of detail in very VERY simple shapes. Eg the head rotation in this case.
- Comment on Back in my day 11 months ago:
so true.
my uncle had a tv. and 2 movies on vcr. I saw “Smokey and the bandit” more then a hundred times. and “the sting” 30-40 times… - Comment on Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way 11 months ago:
Had the nic set to that. Any package on the network. Did not matter who it was for. If the nic saw it, it would wake the machine up.

Does it really end? I fear my sleep patterns are irrevokably fucked. And i will never have another good night’s sleep.
