  • Xbox Game Pass for PC is an incredible value, even with the caveat of having to run windows (which sucks so bad). That’s always my top rec for PC gamers.

    Elden Ring is still my number one game. It’s awesome and will run great on your new PC as well as your deck. It’s also got a lot in common with your listed games.

    Grounded is a great game as well! It’s a reasonably difficult survival crafting game (like Subnautica). Same goes for Return to Moria.

    I don’t disagree with the sentiment here, the world is fucked and unchecked crony capitalism is the problem. The rich get richer and the rest of us barely get by. Also fuck Huffman for ruining the only social media platform I’d used consistently for over a decade.

    That said, Huffman’s salary is not even close to the number reported here. He makes something like $350k in a year (still a wildly high salary, no one person needs to make that much in a single year!), this “compensation” is closely tied to his equity in Reddit and it’s predicted value when the company goes public.

    Most CEOs are compensated in this way and I think it’s not exactly a bad way to do it (partially for employees but mostly for investors). This value is tied to performance, so if the CEO does stupid shit and ruins the company, it directly affects his compensation. This can be a good thing if that CEO makes good business decisions, which can lead to more jobs and more stability for the workers. I realize this is not always the case, but that’s the general idea.

    It still sucks, and I still think no individual should make more money than is needed to live comfortably, but it’s not like he’s raking in 193 million every year like it seems from this tweet.



  • I buy some physical books, but mostly either borrow from the library or for some rare stuff I aquire backup copies from various places online.

    If there is a graphical element to a book, like an atlas, or even books like “House Of Leaves” or “pallbearers club” where the ebook is inferior due to the formatting and typesetting, I’ll buy the physical copy.

    Recently I’ve been buying really premium versions of books I reread like the deluxe slipcase of LotR and other tolkien stuff (histories box set is next on my list) and the Akira box set. These are things I read every couple of years so I just like to have and hold the really nice stuff.

    I also usually like to get physical copies of RPG books because it’s faster to use at the table and I don’t get distracted by a tablet. The physical version of Mork Borg (and feretory + heretic) is in itself a work of art.





  • You absolutely could try. It would be fine until the already established hierarchies feel you’re becoming a threat to their monopoly of power. Then they will come up with some reason to go out and shoot you or lock you up.

    But I do think most of the people who say shit like they want to live in a wilderness commune would last two weeks before giving up and going back to running water, paved roads and grocery stores.







  • I would not recommend swapping out major components without doing a new install. Linux installation is quite simple these days, so back up your configs and put them in place in the new installation.

    If you run things in containers, these kinds of issues are not as relevant. You can run jellyfin in docker the same on any host and pass the GPU through for xcoding.

    Unfortunately I don’t think there’s enough info to answer your question specifically.



  • I’m not doing links because I’m lazy, but I watch a lot of YouTube and these are my favorites:

    Ordinary Things - funny smarmy British dude explains ordinary things. Once a month or so, very high effort stuff.

    That Chapter - funny sarcastic Irish guy explains true crime things. Twice a week on a good week. Also high effort research

    Internet Comment Etiquette - this is not for you. Don’t watch it. You’ve been warned.

    LGR - the best legacy youtuber talks about the best legacy tech.

    Patrick Willems - funny American guy explains movie stuff.

    The Crafsman Steady Craftin - funny puppet man does crafts. This is the most high effort channel on YouTube.
