Seconded. I like having all my games in one place, on all my devices, with Linux support out-of-the-box thanks to Proton. Also, Steam DRM is easy to bypass with code available on GitHub if you really wanted to.
Epic does none of this for me, and I won't support a company that called all gamers "shmucks" or whatever that C suite said
Here's a bonus for more confusion: in Google Messages if your carrier doesn't self host RCS, that "Chat" toggle changes to a βGoogle Jibe" one π€¦ββοΈ
Edit: clarify app
All the talk about killing hangouts and they just end up migrating it instead. What is up at Google
Added benefit of not needing to purchase a secondary device... just imagine one!
I really wish symmetric broadband was standard. Having 500 down (as a homelabber especially) means nothing if you have only 25 up π
I would rather see a concept I saw in Taiwan, where they have electical mopeds with quick change batteries, the range would be lower, but you would just go to a charge point, check in your used batteries to recharge and checkout freshly charged batteries.
Ohh I saw a video on that recently, think it was called Gogoro or something. Really neat system. One of those batteries would be pretty heavy compared to a normal ebike battery though, about ~25kg vs 5-10kg
Yeppp this is what I currently do, and offers the best performance IMO compared to using something like gocryptfs in userspace on top of BTRFS. Pretty happy with it except a few small things...
It can be a bit of a faff to mount on a new machine if its file manager doesn't support encrypted volumes natively βΉοΈ. On your daily you can have it all sorted in your crypttab and fstab so it's not an issue there
My main problem though is if it's an external USB device you have encrypted with LUKS, the handles and devices stay there after an unexpected USB disconnect... so you can't actually unmount or remount the dm-crypt device after that happens. Anytime you try, the kernel blocks you saying the device is busy - only fix i'm aware of is a reboot.
If the encryption is managed by the filesystem itself, one would probably assume this kind of mounting & unexpected disconnect scenario would be handled as gracefully as possible
Yayy fixed, thank you π
Good human β€οΈ
I have a FHDB PS2 and soooo many games to back up π ughhh.
I have a few titles that I "backed up" π΄ββ οΈ already, but i'm not looking forward to ripping my physical disks... my PS1 library took the entire day and two cd drives, sadly most of those disks were partially unreadable
