Thanks. Which version do you have to run TotK well?

Ayn Odin 2 vs Retroid Pocket 5 (europe.pub)

So I narrowed it down to these 2 and looking for some feedback.

I mainly want to play GameCube and Wii games but would also be interested to play Wii U and Switch games in the future, so would like a device that can in principle support those.

I understand the Ayn Odin 2 is more powerful, but I wonder if the ~$80 price difference is justified based on performance alone considering the Retroid Pocket 5 has a better screen and battery.

Again if that difference is what is going to make or break emulating Wii U and Switch at some point in the future, then it would be money well spent in my view. Just not sure that’s actually the case - What would you advise?

And if it is the Odin 2, is the Base model going to be OK or would I need more RAM as in the Pro and Max models?

Bonus question: I’m in the EU - Should I order them from the official websites shipping from China or find a EU reseller on AliExpress? They’re actually a bit more expensive on AliExpress, but I’d really like to avoid having to pay a 20% import fee if I buy from China.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit? in c/[email protected]

Revolut has a single-use card feature. The (virtual) card regenerates with a new number after each purchase.

I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 (!) still going strong with Batocera Linux running NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) emulators.

I’m looking for easy multiplayer games that can be played with a 5yo. Non violent and ideally co-op, bonus points if somewhat educational.

Depending on your ISP and router you might be able to install WireGuard on it. More generally self-hosting a VPN is pretty straightforward.

Excellent, I can continue not using it.

Why does Tumbleweed insist on reinstalling YaST? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The announcement is part of the Leap 16 release announcement if you want to look at it.

The alternatives are Myrlyn for package management and Cockpit for system administration.

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

Installing Leap while preserving btrfs @home subvolume (europe.pub)
 

I’d like to install Leap 15.6 on an older laptop which is currently running Tumbleweed.

I have a single partition with btrfs and the standard subvolumes created during the original Tumbleweed installation.

Can I install Leap while preserving the btrfs @home subvolume? I played a bit the partitioner in expert mode but couldn’t find an obvious way.

Thanks!

Switched to europe.pub and piefed.social. Looking forward to seeing piefed being more supported by mobile app such as Mlem (already announced) and voyager.

I have a 2007 Acer laptop with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with LXQt which I use for torrenting. Works great.

You could also install batocera and run retro games and console emulators. I’ve done this with an old Raspberry Pi 1 from 2012 and my kid loves to play Sonic and Super Mario with it.

Well that’s because Telegram is likely the state messaging app they’re talking about! 😄

[Batocera] Is there any way to enable multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance using two locally connected controllers? (europe.pub)
 

I have an Rpi with Batocera installed and two SNES controllers connected with USB.

I can play NES and SNES multiplayer games perfectly fine, but not on GBA.

Is there any way to emulate local multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance?
