Not really, the only wifi devices are phones and IoT.

1000 hours in Alan Wake is impressive. I assume you played part 2?
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 3 days ago:
Is that actually an UPS or just a backup battery? Can it passthrough the line power directly or does the inverter need to run 24/7?
In the latter case you might want to check how much power the inverter eats just by itself. For example, my Bluetti with 2 kWh needs a whopping 50W in idle just to keep the AC ports powered. Of course your unit looks much smaller so it should be way less but still worth measuring.

It seems they don’t make a variant for Europe so that’s probably why I never heard of it.

Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.

Top to bottom:
- Unifi US-16-XG
- OPNsense DEC740
- Unifi Switch 24
- Unifi Switch 16 PoE
- DIY server with an AsrockRack X470D4U mainboard
- DIY DAS in an old server case with 18 3.5" bays
Not in picture: My UPSes, RIPE Atlas probe and an Odroid N2+ running my Home Assistant instance
The server runs Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers running a Docker Swarm cluster.
There’s too many services running so I’m not listing them all. Let’s just say my phone is not going to be thrilled if it goes down. Also, this post was posted through said server.

Yeah, the announcement made me remember that I never played part 3.

I started playing Darksiders 3 (2018) over the weekend. Never got around to play it on release because my PC couldn’t run it back then.

Take a look at the Finamp desktop client. It comes very close to the Plexamp client from back when I was using Plex.

Good that I’m not the only one who struggles with this in every new season of Re:Zero. The end also did it for me though, now I’m excited again.

I felt the same, they really just ended right in the middle of THE fight.
Season was pretty good though, excluding the end.

IMHO the Plus version is a downgrade since it is made for consoles and does not require you to modify files on your own system.

- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 2 months ago:
I would argue that even restricting sales to your own store is anti-competitive tying. You’re avoiding competing on the merits of a store using exclusive licensing of a creative work.
A creative work which you made yourself, which you can sell wherever you want.
Should you sell it everywhere so as many people can play it as possible? Sure. Do you have to? No.
Again, not a fan of the tactic, but they are trying to break an entrenched monopoly with a ton of network effects which is near impossible.
Let’s reverse the roles for a second: EGS is the big player and Steam is just getting started. EGS suddenly starts paying all publishers to only publish on their platform. Does that sound like competition to you? You don’t break a monopoly by using tools used by monopolies.
Their launcher is perfectly fine.
Fine? Yes. It does the bare minimum of being able to buy a game and start it. Does it do everything I expect a modern game launcher to do after existing for almost 6 years? Nope.
But they are. They’re not losing that much money, even with a tiny portion of market share. Valve having far more market share means they should be able to do it for an even smaller percentage than what epic is using, especially since Valve has 21 years of infrastructure to lean on.
They are “not losing much money” while providing a fraction of the services Steam does. They say 30% is too much, we can do it in 12% and yet they severely lack in social features, have no modding support, no VR support, no in-home streaming, no Remote Play Together, no Big Picture, no Family Sharing, a barely functioning Steamworks alternative, no Steam Deck support, no Linux support and absolutely zero open source contributions. That’s just the obvious stuff I can think of right now, every single menu you open in Steam you find a barebones menu in the EGS.
They don’t even need 21 years of infrastructure for most of these, they just need to fund development of it. Which they seem to be unwilling to do so.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 2 months ago:
I’m not saying you should, I’m saying it doesn’t make them villains or a bad company.
But it does, paying third parties to not publish on your competitors platform is the oldest anti-competitive behaviour in the book.
It would have been completely fine if they started out with actually funding development of new games and only releasing them on their store.
I would have even given them some slack for their bad launcher since they were new to this.
Instead we are here, almost 6 years later. Their launcher is still trash, their exclusive deals were a complete money sink, EGS is still not profitable, they burned all bridges to Valve and are not one step closer to their claim that 30% is too much and they can do it with
8%12%. - Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 2 months ago:
They should have spent those millions to fund development of a store that can actually compete with the competition and studios that produce games, which they then can sell on their own platform.
Instead they snatched up every new release on the way to Steam while still not being able to provide the basic necessities of a modern PC store front.
So why should I bother purchasing something from them? They have nothing to offer and actively make it harder for me to play games through their store with their anti-Steam Deck stance.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 2 months ago:
Great to see that Epic didn’t snatch that one up.
I love Remedy and their games but their publisher choice is always atrocious.

It’s a hard game to get into. Played for 2 hours on my first run and didn’t know where to go.
After 2 weeks or so I tried again because everyone was recommending it to me. Now it’s one of my favorites, even though it took another 2 hours before I had any idea what I was doing.

- Comment on No Rest for the Wicked - The Crucible Update Trailer 3 months ago:
I bought the game on release purely to support the studio and I would definitely recommend waiting.
It’s an excellent game being made but you can really tell that they didn’t quite know where to go with this game. They pulled together mechanics from various genres that don’t fit together that well.
The waiting mechanics are a non-issue since you are usually playing “the real game” while side stuff is happening in your town.
Graphics, art and music are all fantastic, as expected from a game by Moon studios, but performance is an issue. Greatly improved since launch but still not where it should be.
They are listening to feedback though and I’m sure they can get everything in proper order in a year or so.

I’m thinking of Ripping my CD collection again. I’m researching a way to use a LLM to tidy up the metadata.
If you ever figure out how to use AI to determine the genre(s) of a song, let me know. Have been looking for something like that for quite a while.

I don’t think you can import pfSense configurations into OPNsense. I switched from a DIY pfSense box as well and redid the config.
You can look for a converter or install pfSense onto it though.
- Comment on Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-( 4 months ago:
Because it’s dope.
Also, according to their website the 10 and 25 Gbit/s packages cost the same per month.
Also, still cheaper than my 1 Gbit/s connection.
- Comment on Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-( 4 months ago:
They are expensive but I run a OPNsense DEC740 and have no issues with my Gigabit fiber, even without modem and the PPPoE overhead.
You can still try playing with hardware offload on/off and if you use PPPoE, it runs on a single core by default.
- Comment on Beastars Final Season New Visual 4 months ago:
I really liked the first season, a much darker take on the usual cutesy anthropomorphic animal world.
Not a huge fan of season two, felt really rushed. It had some great episodes and I’m definitely checking out the next season but I felt disappointed after the strong first season.
