Bad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let’s not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?

He was gonna teach her gun safety, with a loaded gun while not respecting trigger discipline or the laser rule?

I’d say that’s “a likely story” but the man’s a Trumper so it’s exactly the kind of stupid I’d expect.

You can get headpats as a guy.

I have.

But Redout isn’t big enough to bring a lot new AG players in.

This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will.

And that’s the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it’s mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.

You can nest spaces.

A space is just a group of channels. So to get groups of channels inside the space, you just create “spaces” inside the space.

This is how my discord servers show up in my matrix accounts since I use discord via a bridge.

Neat!

I literally don’t care that it’s star wars.

I’m just happy to see AG racing still be alive.

WipEout and F-Zero are gone, seemingly never to return.

But there are no hacks required to install it on old hardware.

Yes there are.

If you used rufus or ventoy, you’ve just applied them without knowing.

Unmodified Windows 11 ISOs will refuse to install on any hardware with a CPU older than Ryzen 3000 or Intel 8000.

In fact there are less hacks required to install / upgrade to windows 11 then there are to install any Linux distro.

What?

On the vast majority of systems, the vast majority of linux distros will install and run with zero “hacks” of any kind. Literally just boot the ISO as-is and have at it.

genuine copy of windows will receive all and any updates

No. On many machines, while windows will install just fine due to the modifications to the installer applied by rufus/ventoy, the yearly major version updates can fail catastrophically.

A lot of hardware will update without issue, but there ABSOLUTELY is risk.

Windows is just an os. As long as it is compiled for the correct CPU architecture, it is just as supported as any other hardware. The hardware is supported by individual drivers, normally provided by the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.

You are confusing functional, and supported.

Something can “technically still work” without being officially supported.

Not being supported means Microsoft can make breaking changes in updates, because they made no promises your hardware would be accounted for in the future.

Just because it works today, no longer means it will tomorrow.

The only way I see John Wick working as a game, is if they do something like Sifu.

Screen Burn, had to look it up because they were formerly “No Code”, devs of Stories Untold and Observation.

I don’t think everyone should self-host. This person was certainly in over their head.

Synology likes to pretend that it’s easy, but doing it right in the ways that make it actually superior to something like Google Drive, is not.

It would be nice if everyone could know someone, who does run one.

Why have a NAS per person, when you can have one per family, friend group, or workplace?

Sadly that will lead to some people relying on hardware that WILL fail in ways that means lost data. Tons of small scale users does mean a lot of people who won’t quite know what they should know about how to do it.

Homework?

They are for me to look at. All the time.

A random one is set as my wallpaper on all my devices, every 15 minutes.

It’s two clasped hands. With the correct number of total visible fingers, and with the thumbs facing up.

How are you counting six and seeing a hand wrong side up?

Also… This is from 2019.

I’d get asking the question. But the smug ellipses as if you spotted something no-one else did, when you’re literally just wrong?

I mean I’ll play a PS2 game instead of eating, period.

Too soon.

It will always be too soon.

omg I didn’t know I needed Lucy in a white top.

Why is this one NSFW?

Every year or so.

My NAS is self-built.

I used to buy one more drive whenever my pools would start getting full. I’m now in a place where I can discard data about as fast as I get more to store, I don’t predict needing new drives until one fails.

I’ve re-arranged my volumes to increase or decrease parity many times after buying drives or instead of buying drives.

Mergerfs makes access easy, the underlying drives are either with or without parity pairs, and I have things arranged so that critical files are always stored with mirroring, while non-critical files are not.

I rather enjoy the added storage capacity.

So do I.

It’s just that I use btrfs, mergerfs, or lvms to pool storage. Not RAID.

Making changes to my storage setup is far easier using these options, much more so than RAID.

Mergerfs especially makes adding or removing capacity truly trivial, with the only lengthy processes involved being bog-standard file transfers.

Hard drive storage is pretty cheap. And the effort it takes to make changes to a raid volume as my needs change over the years, just isn’t worth the savings.
