- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 2 weeks ago:
Oh I don’t say that it’s a good reason, it’s just why they do it. Shareholder value must go up. Trying something new risks that numbers go down, can’t do that.
Personally I don’t care for “triple A” games anymore. The last one I bought at full price shortly after release was 2019 for Jedi Knight, and that was a huge exception because the last before that one was 2010 for Mass Effect 2. All my other games in my way to big library are indies or games I bought on sale for less than 20 bucks and only because I’m interested in. I have blocked big publishers like EA or Ubisoft on Steam since a few years because of their attitude, enshittifiaction and mostly because their games are the same over and over again.

Can’t take risks when you put in that much money
- Comment on Death Stranding 2 looks amazing in the 21:9 ultra-wide 2 weeks ago:
And it’s awesome. Went from dual 16:9 1440p to 32:9 5120x1440. Same size, no gap in the middle.

They start at $730 where I live, there are way better alternatives for less.

- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 3 weeks ago:
Not that I’m interested in any of those apps, but wouldn’t that mean that it makes it way easier to port them to other OSs (except maybe of the AI part)?

That’s because your Stream/Video on Youtube/Twitch/Whatever will be deleted and your account flagged if the algorithm detects copyright protected audio in it.
- Comment on Opnsense, tailscale and headscale 5 weeks ago:
I don’t use Tailscale or Headscale as I’m the only user and happy with Wireguard.
But I had to add my Wireguard interface as default gateway for it’s IP range to my router. Maybe this was set on your old router but isn’t configured yet?

- Comment on Is it a good idea to use an Android phone as an external SSD for backing up my home folder? 1 month ago:
Doesn’t have to be a USB drive. You can also backup your data to a network storage if you have any.
Good choice with EndeavourOS btw., using it since over a year now and I am very happy.
- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 1 month ago:
As others said it all depends on what you expect. I run stable diffusion on my gaming pc with 32GB RAM and a AMD 9070xt and it works fine. Did also on a 6800xt before that one died. A GPU with 16GB RAM helps a lot, would say that 12GB is the minimum. Lower will limit you in the models and speed.
For LLM just try it out, they work fine without special hardware for smaller models and as long as you are the only user. There are tools like Jan or lmstudio which make it easy to run.

Unfortunately AMD is affected by RAM shortage too.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 2 months ago:
Latency shouldn’t be a big problem if it doesn’t have massive spikes. Packet loss could be a problem, seems like Jellyfin doesn’t have an option zu increase the buffer size which may help. Or the problem is in combination with transcoding.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 2 months ago:
Maybe we don’t talk about the same. The uplink at his router isn’t the problem, there is enough upload speed so that others in Europe can stream. Users in Asia don’t have enough bandwidth, so there’s a bottleneck somewhere in between.
And yes, a VPN could help by routing the traffic through other hops, but chances are that it doesn’t help or even make it worse, but it’s worth trying.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 2 months ago:
The uplink isn’t the problem as it works for viewers in Europe.

- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 2 months ago:
I had crashes on Linux because of defective hardware but first thought it was because of software/config/driver issues. I reinstalled the OS, problem persisted. I installed two other completely different distros, problem still there. To make sure it’s not because of Linux in general, I installed Windows…
Damn the installation of Windows (newest image) with updates and only the basic drivers for GPU and mainboard took longer than installing three different Linux distros, and I’m not exaggerating!
Linux: Boot installer, choose to use network installation so you get the newest packages, maybe add or remove some features, choose locales, enter login credentials, reboot when finished, done.
Windows: Boot installer, workaround to use local account, installing files, reboot, installing more files, choose locale and login credentials, answer questions about privacy, install more files, reboot, login to Windows, download updates, reboot, download more updates, open edge (optional: install other browser), visit mainboard manufacturer website, search for correct drivers, install, reboot, visit GPU website, download driver, install, reboot…
And then it’s only the absolute minimum. No debloat or other software installed like office suite or steam which on Linux can selected and installed directly with the OS.
