Do you still play couch coop nowadays? Which games do you recommend? in c/[email protected]

I don't know if "coop" is the right term, but Duck Game is awesome on the couch with two (or more!) people.

Doom: The Dark Ages is introducing big changes to combat because id Software came to one core realization: "Every projectile mattered in the original Doom" in c/[email protected]

The thing is, id Software has landed in this medieval war against Hell not out of convenience but out of a need to change the fundamentals of play. To return to where Doom became legend two decades ago.

I have bad news for the author of this article regarding what year it was two decades ago.

I may be wrong, but I think they meant "can't argue with your complaint about acrobatics."

I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

So that's admittedly not a good look for canonical, but my read of that is that if you're getting widely-known software from a developer who's publishing it to snap themselves, and you're cautious about your usage, snap is fine.

For example, essentially my only use of snap is to install certbot. If I follow the directions from certbot.eff.org precisely, then I'll get certbot installed and no issues.

I certainly agree that (a) the system is ripe for abuse and (b) should be self-hostable to support Free software. Both of these could be fixed by canonical opening it up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Why? I've heard this for years at this point, but as someone who rarely uses snaps because they're the only convenient option for software I'm using, I'm generally ambivalent about them.

People seem to hold really strong opinions about snap but I've never been able to get a straight answer, just a bunch of hand waving.

What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. (www.cnbc.com)

Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

...

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It's ok! Don't ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we'd have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

About a year and a half ago I posted a script I made for deleting movie content in your library not being watched. Folks really seemed to like it, and I still get comments on that thread every so often. So I've updated it!

Far and away, the two biggest requests I got were:

  • Make it do TV, too
  • Make a dry-run mode
  • Edit: Added just now: a protected mode when you volume mount a protected file!

The code is now available on github here:

https://github.com/ASK-ME-ABOUT-LOOM/purgeomatic

Even better, no installation is required. You can run it as a docker container like so:

docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py

 

It now supports TV series as well. Thanks to a suggestion from /u/JimLahey-, I was able to get my head around the idea - I had always thought of managing TV shows as "collections of seasons" of media, but the reality is, if nobody has watched anything related to a TV show in a while, the whole thing can go! And that's what this does:

docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.tv.unwatched.py

 

No more editing python, either. Create yourself a .env file, set up all of your config, and even enable dry run mode, so you can test to your heart's content:

$ docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py

Is it possible to set the default view on Profile? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I comment more frequently than I post. Is there any way to set it to view comments by default? Even better, can we display a merged view of comments/posts in a single listing?

Have you ever stopped listening to an audiobook because the tone of the narrator was so annoying? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I definitely noped out of a sci-fi audiobook (can't recall the title) a few minutes into one. And I hated the one Expanse book that was narrated by Erik Davis - it was like listening to a robot.

Getting stuttering playback on a Roku 3 when Direct Playing some content (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've recently upgraded my Plex instance to separate out the storage side and the compute side. In general, I couldn't be happier - the compute side is a little HP prodesk with a quicksync-capable CPU, and the results have been phenomenal.

I have one user who has been complaining about stuttering playback when doing Direct Play on a Roku 3 (2015). When they switch to transcoding, it works perfectly. The only time I've seen it, it has been doing a direct stream of MKV -> MPEGTS for the video container with a transcode of DCA 7.1 -> Stereo audio.

Bandwidth is not the issue and they were the only ones streaming at the time.

Do you think the Roku choking on it somehow? My 2017 Shield TV can fully direct play it without issue.
