- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 1 day ago:
Yeah, that is my standard way of doing things. Old desktop becomes the server, and it’s specs blow everything I want it to do out of the water, so things like file storage (and the CPU required to encrypt-on-disk), etc have no chance of ever presenting an issue. Though, I do have a pair of Pis with POE hats on them, because I really like POE.
Then I set it up for auto-updates and proceed to ignore it. Love very simple home networking setups that still accomplish every goal.
- Comment on Far Cry series will push multiplayer "more predominantly" going forwards, according to Ubisoft boss 4 days ago:
Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.
Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is clearly in the past.
- Comment on Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store 5 days ago:
They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.
I remember when it first came out, you couldn’t even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps…that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux’s repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.

This is a re-upload by a third party. Which is perfectly acceptable, but do note it’s not back up on Gamer’s Nexus’ page.

- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 6 days ago:
If ’ you mean carbon dioxide, then I hate to tell you, but you make that as well.
- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 6 days ago:
-
Coal is made from plants.
-
Oil is made from plankton and algae.
-
Natural gas is made from microorganisms.
I believe all three have a small chance of also being made from an animal. But I wasn’t able to verify that part.

- Comment on How to Get the Reaper Crest and Unlock Heavy Attacks in Hollow Knight Silksong 1 week ago:
Downvoting since this is a game guide/spoilers, and not something that is intended to be brought to someone’s attention. If someone is confused about how to get this, they will either figure it out or look it up and come to this article themselves.

Yeah, you can install both, then just pick which one you want during login.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Naw, 5 and 6 are where it is at.
- Comment on Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is Now Available for Download 1 week ago:
Cinnamon uses slightly more resources than the other two. But, it’s lightweight enough I doubt you are going to have an issue, even with a computer of that era.
- Comment on Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is Now Available for Download 1 week ago:
Head on over to Update Manager > Edit and upgrade to 22.2!
- Comment on Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is Now Available for Download 1 week ago:
does that mean i can upgrade normally and not worry about the kernel?
Yeah, just doing the upgrade via Update Manager > Edit menu leaves you on the 6.8 kernel. Confirmed with all three of my machines I upgraded.
Two of them I have since put on kernel 6.14 via Update Manager > Kernels, after updating to Mint 22.2 and seeing it still on kernel 6.8.
- Comment on Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is Now Available for Download 1 week ago:
If you are currently running Mint 22.1, the upgrade will show up in the Software Manager > Edit menu.
- Comment on Are there "headhunters" that work *for* you? 2 weeks ago:
External recruiters often get paid more after you have been with a company for a year. Furthermore, both you and the employer have to accept the other (do remember, particularly after entry level, interviews go both ways).
They are fairly motivated to get you where you need to be.

What do you mean? I’m assuming you aren’t referring to LibreOffice Calc, as that entire program is tables.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
This is the next generation GPU. The Radeon is a last generation model that you have been able to buy for awhile now. What you are asking for currently exists and has been proven.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
The standard is PCI-e, and it is interchangeable. This is the second dedicated video card you can get in a Framework laptop, and they can be swapped out with each other. The other video card is even an AMD Radeon.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
You can buy individual displays directly on framework’s website and swap them into even their oldest laptop. If they make OLED versions in the future, it will be the same: a display swap.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 2 weeks ago:
Framework has been pretty consistent on upgradability. You can even put the newest MOBOs/CPUs in the oldest laptops since they kept the formfactor identical. They sell such mobos on their website.
- Comment on A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, article said he had talked for months about hanging himself. Any human friend would have done their best to save him. Being proactive about making him feel better, working through his problems with him, and/or notifying his parents or a school teacher.
Meanwhile the chat bot just encouraged him to seek help himself. Which isn’t bad, but when someone is suicidal, particularly when they keep bringing it up, is clearly not enough.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 weeks ago:
Over half my apps I use would get blocked
Consider many apps are just webpages. You can go to the website directly from a browser and everything is happy.
Obviously won’t solve everything, but that covers most apps right there.
- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 3 weeks ago:
(he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract
Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:
-
There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.
-
One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?
It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion?

- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 3 weeks ago:
No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.
The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.
- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 3 weeks ago:
He is probably referring to the North Crimean Canal which fed water into Crimea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. Ukraine shut down the canal as they are under no obligation to provide water for crops in Russian occupied territory.
This canal was fed by water from Kakhovka Dam’s reservoir. However, Russia blew up this Ukrainian dam in 2023, which has since cut off all potential possibility to fill the canal.
In summary, Russia invaded Ukraine, fucked a bunch of shit up, killed a ton of people, and is trying to pin the blame on Ukraine.
- Comment on YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’ 3 weeks ago:
This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.

That sounds like the least economical way possible to build out solar.
