Neither are commonly available in desktop form factors and they usually require custom builds for each board to work.

I like the tab groups. I use them often at work to group an issue with related tabs and my attempts at solving it. Also makes it easier to pause work on one problem and work on something else because I have the tabs grouper and know exactly where to go back.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 week ago:
Favourites
Witcher 3
Witcher 3 was one of the first “big games” I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It’s been on my “to replay” list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.
Nier: Automata
This is another early “big game” I played, though I didn’t finish it then. I won’t spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn’t feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it’s still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won’t spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn’t work on Linux.
Other games
I couldn’t think of a third game, so here’s a list of other good games that don’t quite make it.
- Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn’t really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
- Baldur’s Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
- Dishonored: I haven’t thought of this game in a while. It’s still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
- Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that’s fun for 2 weeks.
- Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
- 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won’t play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 1 week ago:
That’s a decoder for AV1. That allows you to play AV1 files, but it can’t create new AV1 files.
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 1 week ago:
Software encoders are better for archiving as they are more efficient with their bitrate. You either get better quality with the same size or a smaller file than hardware encoders.
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 1 week ago:
Ah, but are you using aomenc, SVT-AV1 or rav1e? Or one of the forks maybe?
- Comment on Zabbix in selfhosted env 1 week ago:
I run mine on a separate server in containers (using Podman). For architecture, the server just connects directly to each agent, using my VPN network
- Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3% 1 week ago:
EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye work on Linux thanks to Valve’s efforts. Unfortunately many devs explicitly deny Linux or only allow the Steam Deck.

- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 3 weeks ago:
Thing is, there are two different types of 5G. 5G NSA is using 5G, but on the same 4G network resulting in little to no speed change. And then there’s 5G SA, the one you actually won’t but probably isn’t deployed anywhere outside major cities if that.
