To me, they are both winners. I loved Phantom Liberty and just started playing it again last week, only for it to be interrupted by Shadow of the Erdtree. Both DLC’s reminded me how much I loved the base game and both are proper and large content additions. And they both run perfectly on Linux on day 1 <3.

Both these games and their DLC’s are in my opinion what other game studios should aim for.

Now that’s awfully cool of you 😄. I’ll give that a spin with Symfonium this weekend; much obliged!

This sounds like a cool thing. Will it run on FreeBSD? If unknown, I will likely try and find out this weekend.

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.

As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

I’m not an expert on the matter so have a Wikipedia link.

After I got the update, the first thing I did was look for the setting to disable the system tray icon 😅. Alas, there is no such setting, so I hid it using KDE’s controls, but it’s suboptimal…

And in case anyone wonders, it works fine in BSD as well. I have a jail with rTorrent which is locked to the VPN connection and uses a cronjob to keep port forwarding active 🙂.

That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?

It’s not like you’re trapped… you can just walk out if you want, but doing so without paying and carrying full bags may raise an eyebrow with employees. Although I think I could easily get away with that in my small village supermarket during quiet hours when nobody is paying attention.

23.1 already has ray tracing support, although it doesn’t work on all titles. With 23.2 a notable example that should have rt support is Cyberpunk 2077. The rt performance should also increase by a lot, and even more in 23.3.

That said, I also think I will turn it on, say the frame rates are too low and switch it off again. And that’s with a 7900 XTX. What I have seen of ray tracing I do not consider all that impressive. Maybe experiencing it myself will change my mind, but the Radeon 7000 series is not powerful enough in that department I think. And considering I want this card to last 4ish years, I probably won’t see ray tracing on my machine any time soon, unless FRS 3 proves to be surprisingly good.

Great! I’ve been looking forward to this! 😄

Very interesting blog post, thank you. Quite different from the “This week in KDE”, but a nice addition for software developers and tech-savy readers. I’ll keep an eye on this blog 🙂.

If you run both Pi.Alert and Pi-hole, Pi.Alert will get the information on network devices from Pi-hole. The only way of I know of excluding active devices would be adding their MAC addresses to MAC_IGNORE_LIST in pialert.conf.

I’ve had a 7000-series card since December and haven’t experienced any driver issues. Using KDE with Wayland and two monitors. My only complaint is the power use when I go over 60Hz, but maybe it has to do with one of my monitors. This is what I see happening:

• Both at 60Hz: 25W
• Using only display A at 120Hz: 25W
• Using only display B at 120Hz: 90W
• Both at 120Hz: 90W

I was hoping some driver update would fix this but by now I’ve given up. As for gaming experience, I have zero complaints. Big titles I played were Cyberpunk 2077, Remnant 2 and Elden Ring and they performed great.

Welcome 🙂. I always loved bleeding edge so Arch really suits me well. There’s probably a distro out there for everyone and you seemingly have found yours!

Woah I didn’t know that game was about to be released 😮. It’s been on my wish list for a long time. Well, I know what I’ll play tomorrow now that I completed Blasphemous 2!

The Dutch government also launched their own mastodon instance recently at social.overheid.nl. Several government departments have already joined. I hope politicians will also make the move, although I do not know if this specific instance allows for accounts other than those of government departments.

When you make public announcements as a politician or political party, it should be done via a channel that can be accessed without registration!

They also always refer to it as “my iPhone”, never “my phone”, at least all the users I have met (NL). I find this very odd.
