AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. You’d need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I haven’t tested this though, so please don’t just take my word for it.

Such good memories! This is an amazing game!

Agree. RDR2 may not be the best test of high end hardware though, since it was already beautiful on the PS4. It’s just incredibly well optimised.

The public keys can be stored anywhere, it doesn’t matter. That’s why they’re called public: because they’re not private, they’re not sensitive, they’re not a secret.

If you’re talking about CrowdStrike, I’d call it part of the malware infrastructure.

From the perspective of the OP’s point though, it is a good argument since it capitalises on the panic described.

They could be, but 2M new Brazilian users after Twitter’s block there actually seems quite low and definitely credible.

Ah NFS… It’s so good when it works! When it doesn’t though, figuring out why is like trying to navigate someone else’s house in pitch dark.

That makes zero sense. Where did you get that idea from?

For reference, here are their docs describing key management. https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-key-management

I found Tailscale to be easier to install and configure than ZeroTier, and also to have better performance.

I have never used Twingate.

Hey! Sorry you had these bad experiences.

My setup is on Debian testing and is documented on this blog post: https://blog.c10l.cc/09122023-debian-gaming

I don’t have an Nvidia card but other than that, this should give you a head start, including virtual surround on headphones if that’s your thing!

I promise it’s not a lot of work and I tried to make it all easy to follow (feedback welcome though!).

If you decide to give it a go, let me know how it went!

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

The main “instability” I’ve found with testing or sid is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.

Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.

The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.

A better first step to newer packages is probably stable with backports though.

Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install away from a fix.

If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.

Otherwise, just run Debian!

Up until a few months ago, Vulkan was very unstable on BG3. It’s been fine for a while though. I haven’t made performance or smoothness comparisons though, I just default to Vulkan and it’s been fine.

I don’t mind the order of path, arguments and options, but what the hell is the deal with long arguments with a single dash? i.e. -name instead of —-name

I fairly constantly need to disable Bluetooth on my iPad so they work on my phone.

If you put the headphones in pairing mode, you can just re-pair with the phone without having to touch the iPad.
