When will they learn that architecture change is a game of software support and getting devs on board for it. The last launch was a dumpsterfire precisely because of this.

You can brute force x86 emulation with more cores and more gigahertz. But why use an arm cpu at that point? Modern x86 mobile chips also came a long way in terms of power and efficiency. A quad core desktop cpu from 2013 is enough for casual computing still.

Yeah, I tried tuta. I have (overall less but) the same issue with proton. I just want to use my own client apps of choice.

I have registered with mailbox.org and while the trial period is very limited, the web ui is minimalistic and basic looking. You could say outdated. I seriously consider paying for a "team" account for me and my wife. The price is unbeatable. Aside from the gui, the features I need are there.

I just need the Wife's approval. She'd be migrating from yahoo of all places.

I can second most of the suggestions. I do not host an office suite (for now?) but I am syncing my keepass dbs over syncthing along with my notes and important documents. I think since 2016 or so. It works well.

Before I had a server I just synced them in a triangle between my phone, laptop and desktop. Most things had 3 copies this way. Any device could offload changes to another. Now I have a central node and the option to sync as before if the server is down. With Tailscale, I don't need to be on the same wifi now eiter.

The keepassDX limitations are not a big deal if all you need is basic autofill.

Mail providers are hard to chose. I am leaving proton for the lack of easy smtp and their locked in nature. Get your oen domain and you will be able to switch more easily in the future.

After registering I wasn't even able to pay for a sub to check out their offering for myself. English docs are lacking. I think they are focusing on fr and nl regions. Support e-mail autoreply also only replies in those languages. They are really small scale, ~2000 users by their own admission. Which is ok, but if you advertise a service, at least let people pay for it, so they can start using it, however janky it is.

I am finally in a position to have hardware running at home without it bothering anyone, so I cobbled together the hardware peaces I thrifted for over the years.

I played around with Proxmox and lxc containers, which are awesome, but not really useful for my usecase. I currently needed the essentials to get started and to finally have some kind of backups.

So TrueNAS scale it is. I got the ACLs down quickly, so the built in apps are no problem. But some things are not suited to be run as a built in app, I found. To avoid these headaches, I created an ubuntu server vm and a network bridge to allow for host access, and spun up those containers there.

I went for too little storage on the vm in the begiining (10G) so of course it filled up to the brim in a day. So I had to learn how to extend an lvm. Which worked only after I made some space available. It was so full, even mkdir failed.

...an espresso?

I disagree about the you don't have to part. You can, and you should explore these dialog options if you feel like. They are part of the game for a reason. It's role play. This was just a standard conversation option with an NPC, and it also had an option to resolve the conflict it created.

The option to convince the guards that you are good was functionally broken. Gamoo explains that as well in the post above. The point is, it's a bug. It's far from perfect.

Also bugs: You can (at least we constantly ran into this, even recently) also lose romance options because of events that happen at long rests. They overwrite the romance events.

The mage tower quest, one particular and important NPC was stuck and didn't even have a turn in combat. Just T posed there. Reloading the save did not help.

That said, the game is great. Just not perfect.

Juniors need to start somewhere!

It's also a remaster of a game that aged very well in my opinion and didn't really need a facelift.

So Beta 1.6.4 was when?

[–] GetAwayWithThis 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could live with this. I like the gnome "workflow" but I hate how restrictive it is. Not to mention that it runs worse on my laptop compared to KDE. Thanks for the inspiration! I might just try something like this.

Aw man, every midrange phone that would be interesting comes with MediaTek SOCs. I should check if the custom rom scene is still dead for phones with MT chips... Do they still withold the sources needed for rom developement?
