Integrating ProtonDB into the steam client would be a nice.

Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Wing Commander series. Played a lot of Wing Commander 1 to 5 as well as the spinoff Privateer.

I also spent a good amount of time playing Civilization 1.

What is recommended way to watch the Star Wars series? in c/piracy
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Another vote for Machete order. Simply put, it is a good way to watch the original trilogy, experience the story plot in episode 5 and get the back story in the subsequent trilogy.

Watching it in episode order for new viewers will mean they will experience episode 5 very differently.

Thanks for the reminder to backup all my important apps, including Tasker.

I download and read pirated books because I am in the process of writing a new and transformative novel.

Quite possibly Philippines.

GTA 6's console-only launch reminds me of how much I despise console exclusivity - is it worth waiting years for PC ports? in c/[email protected]

Add to that a monthly subscription just to play online. Even crazier.

I just want Sony to re-release the Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated internals.

I vaguely remember if I wanted to play it in single player, I would press select first before entering the code for it to trigger in the correct mode. LOL

Using curlftpfs with jellyfin to access media stored on old NAS? (aussie.zone)
 

Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met (aussie.zone)
 

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?

Whoever does the packing in-game isn't being very efficient (aussie.zone)
 

Yes, it's part of the gameplay mechanics but sometimes it pays to take the time to load the cargo yourself. :p

(In case it is not immediately clear, the very last cargo on the International Paystar 5600TS is packed. The 3 pieces of cargo closer to the cab is not, thus enabling carrying 4 pieces of cargo in a 3 slot bed)
