This game’s so good. I haven’t been into RTS since AoE2/AoM back in the day, but BAR had me playing a bunch of games against the AI.

Just the scale, the amount of units you can have at once is impressive. And the game is pretty “simple” (no research trees, no complicated economies) so you can focus on the combat. Really nice experience overall.

You know creators get paid for the sponsor right? Not for if people watch that part or not.

Aw, do you think Twitter is a person? How cute. No, dead naming only applies to people obviously.

Fair enough, it probably made sense at the time. Still, disappointing from Plex.

I don’t have synaesthesia, and Track_Shovel is a name.

Wow, $120 to be able to download your own shit… I’m glad I chose jellyfin.

Technically still made by Microsoft, but what about VSCodium?

Restarting can be a pain too.

Recently, I decided to install arch linux on an old laptop my sibling gave to me. I’m not new to Linux, I’ve been running a debian server for a year now and I have tried several VMs with different systems. But this was my first time installing arch without a script, and on bare metal.

Installing arch itself wasn’t that much of an issue, but there was a bigger problem: the PC didn’t recognize the pendrive for boot in UEFI mode. It seemed to work in the regular boot mode, but I didn’t want to use that. I made sure to deactivate safe mode and all the jazz. Sure enough, I could get UEFI boot working.

I install arch, works fine, I reboot. Oops! I didn’t install dhcpcd and I don’t know how to use network manager! No internet, great!

In my infinite wisdom, instead of trying to get NM to work, I decided to instead chroot back into the system and install dhcpcd. But my surprise when… The boot menu didn’t recognize the USB again. I tried switching between UEFI and normal boot modes on the bios and trying again, after all it appeared last time after changing it, right?

“Oh it doesn’t appear… Wait, what’s this? No boot partition found? Oh crap…”

Turns out, by changing the setting on the BIOS I probably deleted the nvram and with it the boot table settings or whatever they’re called. I deleted GRUB.

Alas, as if to repent for my sins, God gave me a nugget of inspiration. I swap the USB drive from the 3.0 port to one of the 2.0 ports on the other side and… It works, first try. The 3.0 port was just old and the connection bad. And I just deleted GRUB for no reason.

Usually, I would’ve installed everything from scratch again, but with newfound confidence, I managed to chroot into the system and regenerate the boot table or whatever (and install dhcpcd). And it worked! I had a working, bootable system, and an internet connection to download more packages.

I don’t know what the moral of the story is I just wanted to share it :)

Are you trying to install in a drive you don’t have connected or something? That I/O error is definitely suspicious.

I find it more depressing that there is a God that decides what is good and what isn’t and gives us “free will” just so He can torture us for eternity if we dont do what He wants… kinda fucked up ngl

Fortunately I don’t need any more reasons to live than enjoying my day to day, being with the people I love, doing my little projects etc.

Rules for thee…

I’d argue “choosing the default” is not what’s going on here. If you don’t have mental health issues, you don’t think that much about living/not living, it just is what it is.

It’s be like saying I’m choosing not to listen to 80s Korean funk, or choosing not to go ski to the Himalaya. I literally don’t care, and I haven’t chosen “not to”, because I literally haven’t given it any thought.

Actually, 80s Korean funk sounds rad, I should give it a listen.

I see no problem: they can record the original call and postprocess it with AI live for the operators. The recordings would be the original audio.

That’s why I chose to work at a dubbing studio instead of doing live shows, I don’t have to setup anything lol.

I’m not opposed to setting things up, but I’d rather make the routing work than manually raise the speakers.

Knowing how good companies are at taking decisions, they’d be capable.

Amazing game, I wonder if there are still online servers. Those giant space battles (and mos eisley too) have a place in my heart, and they’re impressive to this day imo.

It’s a software RAID integrated in the filesystem, as I understand it. This video helped me understand it a bit more and it’s why I’m saying ZFS is a better idea. afaik you get the good parts of raid and some more. Obviously I have very superficial knowledge on all of this though, so I recommend doing your own reading :P

I want to point out that RAID doesn’t actively prevent bit rot and data degradation. You’ll want ZFS/RAIDZ for that.
