There a million ways, and you will probably find tons of tutorials each different - Docker, Docker Compose, native install, VMWare, Kubernetes, Portainer, etc. I recommend starting with a clean machine - preferably with an attached monitor - and installing your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu is among the easiest), getting Docker and Docker Compose running, and familiarizing yourself with these technologies.

Then you can start with a simple app like Paperless (document digitization), Vikunja (TODOs), BookStack (wiki), or PrivateBin (pastebin), getting it running and persist state over a period of time, then setting up a reverse proxy so you don’t have to use IPs all the time (with just editing your hosts file to point a URL to IP of your machine), and then it is a free world.

Of course, having the whole setup secure, independent, and easily manageable is partially eyperience and partially understanding your needs.

You will probably even find whole ready-to-deploy git repositories that are easily configurable, so you can go with that too.

It’s always 1 a day, then 2, then a pack, and then 2. Not talking from personal experience, but the body naturally builds up tolerance.

The trick is to rotate addictions weekly ;)

Literally, yes. However you so not use this wording in natural language.

One cig every 15 years would be less than all the second hand smoking and air particles you digest.

But “less than 1 or 2 packs a day” sounds it will definitely lead to health issues. I’d say 1 cig a day would be acceptable and probably without serious health issues.

Depends, the best source for running games is https://www.protondb.com/

For games that are not on Steam, you can try Lutris.

Good news, it actually is and had been for a few months! https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3#reimage

That’s what Chinese propagandists want you to think, there are way more people living in (borderline) poverty (per capita) than in the US.

Social media is being fed with a slice of mainland China, but anything beyond that is people struggling to keep ends meet.

That’s what we call a walkie-talkie.

Also labor price is unmatched. Nobody would work for the wage they give to children in China, so you can’t really go that much cheaper while not sacrificing safety.

Not saying Chinese cars are that well made.

Anything works really. Mint, Gentoo, Fedora, Arch all work - usually just need to install Steam and done, possibly install drivers using your package manager if it doesn’t come pre-installed. Hell, you can even do SteamOS or something like Bazzite or Nobara if i remember correctly.

Even worse, there is no Canada at all 😱

There is no value in arguing about subjective topics. Feels useful to me if you know how to use it, used to generate one of the worst and random pieces of code you could create.

Sadly… only 3 injured.

Two officers and a border patrol employee were injured in the attack, including one who was shot in the knee. All three were sent to hospital for treatment, officials said.

This 1000x. I am a PHP developer, I found out about two months ago that the AI assistant is included in my Jetbrains subscription (All pack, it was a separate thing before). And recently found about Junie, their AI agent that has deep thinking (or whatever the hell it is called). I tried it the same day to refactor part of my test that had to migrated to stop using a deprecated function call.

To my surprise, it required only very minor changes, but what would’ve taken me about 3 hours was done in half an hour. What I also liked was that it actually asked if it can run a terminal command to verify thr test results and it went back and fixed a broken test or two.

Finally I have faith in AI being useful to programmers.

For a test, I took our dev exam (for potential candidates) and just sent it to see what it does just based on the document, and besides a few mistakes it even used modern tools and not some 5 year old stuff (like PSR standards) and implemented core systems by itself using well known interfaces (from said PSRs). I asked it to change Dependency Injection to use Symfony DI instead of the self-made thing, and it worked flawlessly.

Of course, the code has to be reviewed or heavily specified to make sure it does what it is told to, but all in all it doesn’t look like just a gimmick anymore.

It was not on mine - lol and behold, I got all three. All I had to do was hold on the dash.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Alright, so no review bombing going on then, as Twitter is full of dumbfucks anyway and can burn to the ground, and who the hell goes on Discord to review a game? It seems like it was about harassment, and not review bombing.

It might be not sending any extra data - which can be verified via packet sniffing like Wireshark - but how do you confirm they are not saving the legit requests you do and collect it silently at the backend? It cannot be proven (beyond reasonable doubt).

Review bomb where? On their page they link to Steam, where they have one released game (95% positive) and two demos (one unrated, second 90% positive).

Yes, he has some good points that I agree with - like the bot takeover, and some other ones. However, he is a narcissist and know-it-all. He took SKG to the extreme, assumed it will be reality, and then bashed it to end. That is not how you do it. And you don’t say “eat my whole ass” to someone trying to keep games playable after sunset - especially as a gamer and a game developer. It is not a law, it is an incentive to show support and let legislators handle it, so they know we want it. The guy is not a lawmaker, he is a YouTuber and a gamer, ofc it is not gonna be worded like law.
