Hell, if I knew however much money I spent, someone would always foot the bill if I ran out, I too would spend like no tomorrow in order to get more money for free. It’s plain logic.

Why did $manager hire two more people? We don’t need them, half the team has no idea what they’re doing here and are just fucking around all day already.

Yeah but he still has some budget left, and if he doesn’t spend it all next year he’ll get less, and we can’t have that.

- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 4 months ago:
It requires 16GB RAM, which is perfectly acceptable. But it can use more if available, for high res textures I assume. Which are streamed from Microsoft’s servers, explaining in part the difference between install size and max memory requirements.

“School” starts at 3 in France. But it’s more like a kindergarten for 3 years, then you enter primary school at 6 where you learn reading and writing.

Funny thing is, I’d never heard of it before reading about its success in the US. Nowadays it’s available in supermarkets and some bars, but it’s not really popular AFAICT.

Come on that’s not fair, it’s very good* at drawing album covers and video game assets, which gives more time to artists to go work for Starbucks or Amazon instead of doing something they actually enjoy.
- passable actually, but much cheaper.

Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?
- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 8 months ago:
That’s the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don’t hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + *arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything’s up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 9 months ago:
As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.
In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once.
- Comment on Nintendo vs. Garry's Mod: Dissecting the 'Fake' Domain Behind All the Chaos 9 months ago:
I’ve owned all of Nintendo’s portable consoles (except for the 3DS), a Wii and I currently have a Switch. I have like a thousand euros worth of games on it, all bought through the store.
But I’m tired of this relentless fuckery, and when my daughter’s old enough to use the Switch, I will hack my switch and pirate the games I haven’t already bought.
Same with streaming, for years I paid for 3 or 4 services, but I’m tired of those fuckers nickel and diming me, and making me jump through hoops to play my paid for content on Linux, so I canceled everything and now run jellyseerr+Jellyfin which is a much better experience.
However I haven’t pirated a single PC game in like 20 years, because Valve and Steam are awesome and the prices are fair. Same with Spotify, though Ek is a tool so I’m starting to look for (legal) alternatives.
What I’m getting at is, I don’t mind paying for my entertainment, but when I start feeling like a cash cow for fucking assholes you better believe I will sail the high seas.

- Comment on Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach 9 months ago:
It definitely is, but yeah you’ll die a lot at first. Once you know your squad’s (and the enemies’) abilities it becomes like chess, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of a single move.

Under linux EAC runs as your normal user, so it can’t install system-wide malware but it can read/write your personal data. If you create a dedicated user for gaming you should be safe from this kind of stuff.
