Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?English
12·4 days agoI just use mergerfs and SnapRAID so I can scale dynamically when I can afford new drives. Granted it’s all fully replaceable media files on my end, so I’m not obsessed with data integrity.
Using a battery pack while playing is no worse than playing while plugged into any other charger, unless you’ve got the battery pack mounted to the deck itself, in which case you’d be adding heat. Personally I just keep a 10000mAh battery in my backpack on flights and run a USB-C cable from it to my deck. When the battery runs out, the deck stops charging so I unplug it. Simple as that. When able to plug in directly at an airport or via the plug between seats, I plug in the big battery and unplug it from the deck.
Make sure you have a fast charger so you can get the most out of short stops to top off the big battery.

Gaming@beehaw.org•The State of Switch Emulation right now is objectively hilarious
26·5 days agoThe post is more about how there’s an absurd number of clueless people in forums trying to figure out how to set things up and it’s just a chaotic clusterfuck of mostly non-technical people talking past each other.
There are no “best settings” so much as “best settings for your machine on this game”. So likewise with the emulators. There’s no single best one.
Sure, I don’t doubt they’ll continue with at least one more minor patch in the coming weeks. Typically it’s not till something like .3 or .4 till the minor version patches cool down
It’s better to do it now, now that a bunch of the migration edge cases were ironed out by 10.11.1

Right, in which case the door they’re in front of is the safe door because they lied and said “Yes” when asked if the truth teller is in front of the safe door. And if they tell the truth and say yes, they’re still the person in front of the safe door. By asking it that way they make it so it doesn’t matter if they’re the liar or not. “Yes” means that person’s door is safe and “No” means you want the other door, no matter who you ask.
Agreed. The writing for the last couple seasons has been insanely good.
It is solvable. You ask one guard at random, “Which door would the other guard have said leads to certain doom if I had asked them?”
And no matter which guard you ask, go through the door they answer with. If it was the truth teller guard, they’ll tell you which door the liar would have said, and if it’s the liar they’ll lie about which door the truth teller would have said.
I’d say this is more of a “RPGs are great” moment than anything else. Any table could have stories like this with any system. It’s only a d&d story in particular because that’s the most popular system. Any system can be house-ruled to do whatever, and that’s the joy of pen and paper games as opposed to board games or video games, where the rules are more difficult to change.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Valve launches the Steam Next Fest right on Windows 10 EOL because they hate me, specifically.
1·18 days agoIt’s in beta as of a couple weeks ago and it looks quite customizable, in fact. Lots of themeing options and an optional tiled mode. If it lives up to its espoused design philosophy, it looks to me like it’ll be awesome but I haven’t tried it yet.

2·19 days agoCOSMIC, the new desktop in beta, is written from scratch in Rust. Cosmic the older version was a fork of Gnome. 2 different DEs, made by the same company with the same name. Different codebases.
The writeup this person made below the break reads to me like they gave the meme to ChatGPT to explain. I don’t think they know what they’re talking about.





In general I turn to Anker or Belkin for power banks, just make sure it can provide at least 25W of power.
