You can self host the control plane for Tailscale using a community project called Headscale. I use that along with Headplane which gives you a nice admin web UI.

Then you just use the tailscale client on devices like normal but you authenticate new clients with your endpoint instead of the centralized one.

I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I’ll have to check this out.

This used to work for me but unfortunately at least two places I haven’t been able to figure out any button combination that mutes them which has been infuriating.

The gas pumps that blast ads at you are driving me insane. All of the places in between my house and my work have them now.

What do you mean by ‘desyncing’ issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don’t have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.

The Haves and the Have Nots have always been at war. Occasionally there are agreements struck, but the Haves always come back for more.

This exactly. I’d use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn’t use rsync exclusively for backups.

As I approach 40 I’ve been trying to make fashion choices that are something like ‘stylish aloof professor’ but I’m always worried that I end up in the ‘douchebag psuedointellectual buffoon’ category like this chode of a human being.

They are. Lots of motherboards still include these. There are a lot of special PS/2 input devices that are still around in business/industrial settings and gamers sometimes need them for use with flight sticks, steering wheels, mechanical keyboards etc.

Usually it’s a combo port now instead of a separate port for keyboard/mouse.

I really like using the PopShell extension on Gnome. I’m hoping it doesn’t die out when Pop moves to their new Cosmic DE. So far I still prefer Gnome.

Your package is set to arrive between the hours of 0 and -2,147,483,647.

Thank you. It looks like this is sort of working in that I can get the additional buttons to show up in Steam now but I’m hitting what I think is a bug where the ‘Enable Extended Buttons’ toggle doesn’t stay enabled. After searching a bit it seems like I’m not the only one but maybe that will get worked out soon.

I have an Ultimate 2 and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that so I can’t remap the back buttons with Steam input.

What’s the trick?

Their controllers are amazing but the naming convention is so bad.

Definitely do not do tapes.

I’d also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I’m always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It’s not something I worry about very much.

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.

On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

On a desktop? No. It’s not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.
