Re:Changes to Tailscale Pricing and Plans on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @12:57PM (#35616608)
I don’t have space for servers at home, so I use Tailscale to expand my home lab with a couple of VPS; the nice thing is that I can just block all ingress traffic in my provider’s control panel (Hetzner in my case) and just use these machines as they were part of my LAN, and I don’t have to worry about things like Docker exposing stuff to the public internet
I jumped on Stadia with Resident Evil 8: on PC (Win 10) I had constant frame drops with Chrome, fixed by installing Chrome Canary. Not a great start, but after that the game played perfectly. Then I got the chromecast ultra + pad bundle, too bad by the time it arrived I already completed Resident Evil; the onboarding is kinda silly, having to download one app to set up the chromecast and one to set up the controller, logging in to Google twice.. but the real problem is the selection of available games. Very very few recent/new games, a bunch of random indie games, a bag of generic old shooters… and that’s it

Re:Apple: Advancements in Game Controllers on Thursday June 25, 2020 @08:31AM (#23639892)
I think that currently there are some games in Apple Arcade that works on macOS, iOS and Apple TV; that said we’re not talking about the usual AAA games of course.
Re:Story of Mattermost: Open-Sourced Competitor to Slack on Wednesday December 18, 2019 @04:52AM (#21823348)
The open-source version also lack any data retention option, meaning that your only option is to let the database grow indefinitely; you can manually delete stuff from the db, but last time I've checked that was not recommended.

Deploying Mattermost is not ideal, as the server requires write access to its JSON configuration file and will overwrite it from time to time, which makes using any configuration manager pointless: after upgrading mattermost you have to fetch the "updated" configuration file from your server and import it back into your configuration manager (and since it's JSON you might get different key sorting and indentation offset).

Despite the above I like Mattermost and I've been regularly using it for more than 1 year, basically for free.

Re:OSX For Hackers on Saturday March 31, 2012 @06:49AM (#3780024)
for hackers? LOL.
People keep saying "it works for me, go away", as if other people who care about a DECENT desktop experience are just morons.

"Ah! Another stupid windows/osx user!"

I don't care about your fvwm desktop with 99 xterms and emacs everywhere, or your fully customized arch linux that "works for you"; I, like many other people, have different needs. And yet the general response from the community is "fuck off".

First rule of desktop linux: you do not complain about desktop linux.
