  • Steam just lost my sale, or not.

    Jump

  • Keep trying, it came back in stock for me, and I got that message on the OG deck preorder day, but still managed to get in with a pretty early ship date.

  • Eyy! Got one!

  • True, if no one managed to actually checkout...

    Plus I do still have it in my cart, maybe that means I have one reserved? . Some people were saying that they were seeing a 'join waitlist' type message, dunno if that was for the special edition or not tho.

    Edit: Heh, I got that last go around, but still manged to get a Q4 2021/Q1 2022 order in eventually.

    Edit2: Now it's showing OOS in my cart. Whomp.

  • I didn't even get that far, I only got as far as clicking "Purchase for myself" before getting the 502 error ^. Now I can only sometimes get a login screen after clicking that/refreshing the checkout page, which always results in an error itself.

  • Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

    Jump

  • Fall Guys, have had it on steam since before it got bought by epic, having the SD and looking for good controller-based games right after I first got the deck convinced me to play it. I've played it almost every day since getting my deck in February of last year. Had been getting a bit bored of it just before the constructor update (user built levels), and the fact that it was broken for ~a week after an epic games services update didn't help, but the new constructor levels sucked me back in. I usually play it in the morning to help me wake up, the whole bright colors & tight races thing really help my brain to start turning on.

  • [Discussion] I think that the number of Deck Users will skyrocket after Xmass.

    What are some things you donate to?

    Jump

  • Technically neither of these are donations, but:

    I subscribe to Firefox VPN, and don't actually even use it, just because I want to support them in a way where money could possibly towards FF dev and not just the Mozilla foundation (which can't fun Mozilla corp work AFAIK).

    I also have a supporter subscription at https://neocities.org because I support his ideals. Plus I get dirt cheap, easy to use static hosting out of the deal.

    Edit: Oh, I guess humble bundle purchases might count, I do at least slide the sliders to make sure the charities get most of the money.

    Edit 2: Oh and the Calyx Institute, that's actually a proper donation to a registered nonprofit. With my $400/year donation I get a 4G hotspot with actually unlimited data. (They also have a $500/year for an unlimited 5G hotspot, I just haven't felt the need to upgrade since they started offering that.) I also use CalyxOS, so it's nice to feel like I'm supporting that.

    What calendar infrastructure do you use?

    Jump

  • Pretty similar myself.

    • Nextcloud w/ Default Calendar App
    • DavX5 + Built-In Calendar APP on Android
    • Gnome Calendar on Desktop

  • Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ?

    Jump

  • Defense in depth. If something escapes the container it's limited to only what's under that user and not the whole system. Having access to the whole system makes it easier for malware to hide/persist itself.

  • Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ?

    Jump

  • If your distro offers it, rootless podman + podman system service is the best setup, IMO. That will give you a docker command that is 1-to-1 compatible with docker and lets you use tools like docker-compose that expect a docker service socket. Then you can just follow tutorials that only explain things for docker.

  • God of War (2018) is coming to GOG

    Jump

  • When this happens, do these companies ever remove the DRM on steam too?

  • The Verge Takes on Self-Hosting for the Masses

    Jump

  • That's not really possible with docker TBH, and I say that as a diehard Podman advocate. Docker, the tooling that you install with your package manager, is open source. Sure they have windows and mac desktop stuff that isn't open, but it's not like you're self-hosting with that, right?

    Plus there's always Podman to switch to, which can be a (mostly) drop-in replacement, if you want something with a more trustworthy provenience.

  • Wait, what? What did he do? (Aside from selling the company, I mean.)

  • OP is asking about userChrome.css, which applies to the style of the browser window itself, not webpage contents. Websites can't view the markup for the browser window itself (which, fun fact is (mostly?) just HTML too), otherwise this would all be moot and they could just look at your list of tabs or your username in the menus.

  • Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn't no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn't come on any of the test days.

    I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they're not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.

  • Friendship ended with Debian and Docker. Now Fedora and Podman are my best friends.

    Jump

  • Compose works with podman too, you just need podman system service & to set the DOCKER_HOST env var to it's socket.

  • Your thoughts.

    (And to a lesser extent your actions, but that gets tougher to define since external factors will apply more there.)
