It's Critter Time!

Adding that to my list of "Reasons why you should use cheap SAS drives", it requires you buying a (cheap) HBA that won't give you trouble if you throw a pile of drives at it. (Editor's Note: I've only ran drives through shelves, which while annoying at times will get you 12-24 drives connected via a ...

I've still been hearing recent horror stories with BTRFS. I would very much like a modern COW filesystem on Linux without the hoops of ZFS but it seems like it's not here yet.

I'm not entirely sold on needing ECC for ZFS, I've heard the argument made both ways. But I got lucky and the old office ...

Man, last time I used KDEnlive was... probably 15 years or so ago? It kept crashing constantly when a load was placed on it, which I guess was a common complaint at the time. Is it still like that these days?


No idea but I've not heard bad things. It seems worth trying.

I think one thing that ...

Very weird. I wonder whose installer Bazzite is using?

JarylGaren wrote: Mon Aug 18, 2025 5:54 pm I reinstalled bazzite entirely, but we also had to do some advanced shenanigans with the Blivet-GUI during the OS installation, because both drives were, like, combined into one RAID1 thing.

Weird! Did it explicitly say it was doing that or just, do it?

so one thing I kinda sorta regret what I did during my installation of Bazzite is checking both of my SSDs in my computer at the same time here

because that caused it to basically view both SSDs as one in the Dolphin file manager, and for some reason it still shows ...

Ok, sounds interesting. My own computer, which runs a Linux distro called Tuxedo OS, has a pretty good tool for that actually. Didn't use the default low power profile because the fan profiles that come with it are not that good (has a tendency to often switch between low and high fan speed), but ...

Davinci Resolve is functionally fucking useless since it has no h264 support on Linux.


I'm always amazed at people still making a fuss about h264 licensing in 2025. I think almost all of the patents are expired at this point, are people actually still going out throwing sueballs if you package ...

I got a 15k but I'm calling it "map assisted" for the moment since I did it while pausing between stops to check the map. I guess that could be allowed since this map is for the dreamcast version and there's no reason not to pause, I suppose. But until others weigh in I'll not call that an "official ...

🔴 linux nerd here.
amd_pstate is a whole kernel module, and i'm not quite sure how to get it to do what you're saying i can do with it. what are you talking about with it being an "incantation?"


In reference to "Take this incantation to the homepage" from GCCX translations; "look up this phrase ...

I don't recall having any slowdown.


I'll see about recording next time I do runs. It's not subtle at all when it happens lol.

I've played the game enough that the soundtrack is too small for me, so I took some time to figure out a way to get my mp3 player to go through the speakers in addition ...

* Underclock = use a less aggressive power mode

Ok hear me out

I imagine quite a few people here have new er AMD CPUs, Zen 2 and newer. For you all, I have a challenge: "Underclock" your CPU for a week.

How? Well don't actually underclock it because that's now how CPUs work nowadays. Change your ...

Tetrio with TGM sounds is what I prefer, or just Tetris DS. Or The New Tetris, which is actually amazing. I love the aesthetic of TGM but I don't enjoy trying to learn it, I grew up with infinite spin and such and TGM feels like walking in mud.

When I was in better tetris shape I could get around ...

I need to sit down and do a few runs with a map out to get my bearings but I got some good luck with customers for this one

My thumb hurts now lol

Also a question for you emulator users: Do you get any slowdown in the downtown parts? There's one or two places in the original ...

Played this set last night for 8/8, and It was received very well by those in attendance. I was going for a sort of emotional vore narrative, but none of it is NSFW or even explicit whatsoever. very vibes based, lots of genre and bpm shifts throughout ...

DJ mixes are great, they're the "intended" way to listen to a lot of dance music and also a great way to use human curation to find new music.

Mixes I've done, including one for Furry Rave Crew mentioned above!

As for other people's mixes, Essential Mix shows are not to be overlooked. Sasha's ...

I’ve never watched sumo, but I deeply respect grappling sports in general! I know a tiny bit of BJJ even though this body is built more for striking sports, haha. What is the best way to get into watching Sumo? Any good sites to keep up with it or major events to jump on for?

Wipeout 3

Less fun to post about answers: Kirby's Adventure (Hoshi no Kirby), F-Zero GX maybe but that's kind of leaning on good graphics. I really like the original Warioware's style. Animal Crossing Wild World is a very beautiful game to me but perhaps that's ...

What features are you looking for from image gallery software specifically over, say, just browsing the folder structure over a network mount and using a local image viewer?

I'd love love love to have a pocketable actual fucking computer with a keyboard but I'm not prepared to spend the money they're worth used now. Android with a keyboard is not a computer to me.

Been thinking lots about old Psions, since I really do mostly just want PDA functionality. It'd be cool to ...

The DS never supported WPA wifi

I thought some games did, like it was a software specific implementation rather than a hardware or OS limitation? Let me go look that up.

ok 30 seconds of research says that DSi stuff can support WPA and WPA2, which checks out because I recall it being one of the ...

I'm not sure about pricing now but a year or two ago you could still get japanese model DSis for like, $20-40 shipped. DSis can be softmodded very easily and you can load games off of an SD card. And the DSi has clicky buttons, like the original DS, unlike the DS lite.

Because the DS sidesteps a ...

you're not gonna like these specs though LMAO


One of the biggest strong points of Linux (and other Unix based systems, hello NetBSD) is that it has very good older hardware support and can also be a lot kinder to lower power systems in terms of resource demands. I love seeing people still ...

DAY 15 SOON BEFORE SUMO ENTERS THE ETERNAL SLUMBER

For 6 weeks or whatever until the next tournament and completely ignoring the summer tour.

Day 14 spoilers:

Yeah I definitely want to play newer-era games too, not just emulators. VRChat is like, unplayable on my current machine and I'd really like to go to virtual cons and not get left out :P 3d graphic games are a real issue in general

Thanks for the advice!! I'll look around at those options ...
