- Comment on GitHub - vogler/free-games-claimer: Automatically claims free games on the Epic Games Store, Amazon Prime Gaming and GOG. 1 day ago:
I have it running. For epic games it mostly is a reminder to start Heroic, as the auto claim does not work for me. Gog rarely has free games, so I am not sure. Amazon Prime works fine (sometimes it has codes for gog/epic), which can also be used with Heroic.
- Comment on Steam Deck Gaming News 2 days ago:
Dauntless, one of Epic’s first exclusives is shutting down on May 29th. An (ironic) post about which was shared here on Steam, if you want to see it
I am a bit sad for what could have been. But I am not surprised at all.
The game basically always stagnated and content came way to slow. Cosmetics and the battle pass were updated regularly though. Anyway since the game was dying, they brought an “big rework” and brought the game, previously only available on Epic, to Steam.
The big rework changed most of the game into a grindfest/paywall, especially for new players. Old players were shafted as in weapons, builds, armour they spend time grinding for was removed from them to enable a “fresh start”.
That obviously did not turn out well with new and old players. And now they are going to the live service game graveyard. Anyway fuck Phoenix Labs (and more specifically Forte Labs, a bunch of cryptocurrency twats who bought the former studio), another company blacklisted and I will never buy anything from again.

Very, very cautiously. It looks better than previous games on Switch, but still not good. On the other hand: maybe they are showing this footage from a Switch 2.

Sadly I only get Schaden, but no Freude from the news😮💨

Well, it clearly isn’t finding Truth.

That is awesome. Was thinking about building a service which sends me the top X entries of a subreddit each week, but this is even better!

Too bad that that is a country tld, which means they could basically withdraw that from you at any point.
- Comment on Kagi Introducing Fair Pricing 3 weeks ago:
This old blog post summarises a lot of pain points: d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Similar to Brave (and more recently Proton) I simply can’t trust them, despite liking the idea of their respective services.
- Comment on Kagi Introducing Fair Pricing 3 weeks ago:
It was okay while I was using it. Just a bit pricey. But I stopped using it when they started the whole “EUs GDPR doesn’t apply to us” non-sense. Simply not a company I can trust to handle personal data properly.
- Comment on Podman rootless and ufw 3 weeks ago:
If it works for you, there is no reason to switch.
The benefit for me is mostly the systemd integration (e.g. do a simple DB backup before running the container using
StartExecPre) & the corresponding unified logging with journalctl. Then there is auto update and boot persistence without having to run an additional process. - Comment on Podman rootless and ufw 3 weeks ago:
The hardest part for me was to switch from docker compose to quadlets, but there is podlet to help with the conversion.
- Comment on Proton 2024 Lifetime account fundraiser for online freedom | Ends on January 5th 1 month ago:
Thats okay. They aren’t selling life time though, but only raffle them away during promotions. So in this case they probably are sustainable, but the chance to get one is next to zero (unless you buy them off of someone else, as that is a thing proton supports).

Backed this on Kickstarter. Seems honestly too good to be true, so I am antsy to get my hands on it.
- Comment on How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon? 3 months ago:
use the fediverse through threads or bluesky
Bluesky is not part of the fediverse and threads is mostly technically capable to be part of it - it is however blocked from the most other instances.

Besides the already sketchy AI thing, I wonder why they need to know gender & ethnicity.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 3 months ago:
For huge countries as like the US: Maybe. You have enough space to also store the trash somewhere for thousands of years.
For small countries, like most of Europe, where the population density is way higher: hard pass.

- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes? 3 months ago:
But Syncthing Fork is not shut down and is still maintained (never used the main version tbh).
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes? 3 months ago:
I’ve used Joplin before which was okay-ish (but worked the e2e encryption during an update).
Now I would recommend Silverbullet if you are really keen on self hosting a notes app.
But the notes that work best for me is simply Obsidian + Syncthing (you could self host a syncthing server), thanks to its sheer ability to adapt to nearly any use case thanks to its plugin.

Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.

- Comment on Server Monitoring software recommendations 6 months ago:
I’ve recently found Beszel and i want to use it to replace my grafana/Prometheus/node exporter stack. It seems to be a rather easy & clean solution. Sure, you can do more with grafana and Prometheus but I can’t be bothered having to learn that, when all I want is some simple monitoring.

Big oof. But if you have a lifetime subscription you can still use them. Just generate/download the configs and don’t use their client.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 8 months ago:
As it is run by volunteers, they probably want to keep corporate (or domain hoarders) off their platform unless they pay.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 8 months ago:
Even when you host a HUGE static website (e.g. maps with thousands of image files). You can just throw it on R2 add a few transform rules, point a domain at it, and you are done. Also highlights the usability of Cloudflare compared to other solutions.
