If only they made it in Source Engine instead of UE5. I tried playing this earlier via Proton and even with some tweaks, all the fancy graphics stuff turned off and everything set to medium/low it runs at a somewhat choppy framerate and has massive input lag :/

Thanks for reminding me why I don’t frequent hexbear much.

I’ve been playing through Augustus/Casar III off and on. I’m currently stuck on Procurator. I like a lot of genres, but my absolute favorites have to be RPG and RTS City Builder. But only the ones that are more complex, where the player has to manage the economy, plan production lines, allocate labor, etc…

I don’t really care about AAA games (anymore) but whenever I feel like it I’ll watch TGA out of curiosity and because I find the cringe funny.

Not really anticipating anything in particular for the next year. If somehow the new FNaF game turns out to be decent I might get that, but judging from my personal experience with anything post FNaF6 I don’t have any hopes or expectations. EDIT: I’ve been hearing some rumors online that apparently new Half-Life game is in development. If true, I’m really looking forward to that.

Sounds like classic troll behavior.

Based Unbound. Great DNS software.

Based. Fuck Apple and their iShit.

Hard at work I see.

I haven’t checked out the state of HURD in a while but possibly that as well

A couple months ago they released an aarch64 port of GNU Hurd and there seem to be at least a couple people working on it.

For smaller binary files it’s fine. I use it for my desktop wallpapers. For large binary files there are a bunch of extensions out there like git-lfs or git-annex. Vanilla git can handle binary files up to a few GB IIRC but it gets unusably slow when you throw multiple large binary files at it.

Can’t stress this enough, especially if you’re a server operator! Any data that doesn’t exist in at least 2 different places should be considered volatile. Also keep in mind that the “cloud” is just someone else’s computer and shouldn’t be used for backup, since you have no control over it and it requires a working Internet connection to access it. Better to get an external USB 3 drive with enough capacity to fit all your most important files; They’re relatively cheap (especially HDDs) and last a long time (my personal one that I got years ago has 48524 hours on it as I’m typing this and it’s still perfectly fine).

I agree. There is literally 0 reason to buy anything from Apple when there are much better and much cheaper options that are already well supported by GNU/Linux. I will never understand people who will go out of their way to waste money on the next big thing from Apple only to get Linux on it.

Terminally online gamers like that probably only pay attention to women who fit their fantasies and ignore – if not make fun of – everyone else. Reminds me a lot of back when Half-Life 2 was still relevant. Some Gamers decided that Alyx Vance wasn’t “good enough” and so now there are a bunch of mods out there that swap her model to something more “appealing”. I remember one of the more popular ones made her look like a white woman with less clothes, big boobs, makeup and suggestive expressions.

For a moment I thought “Did something big happen that I missed?” and then I watched the video. I’m always amazed by the stupidity of the average yankee.

The “sit back and relax”-strategy really does work.

The stock market is basically gambling and designed to serve the bourgeoisie. Better to read theory than books on “how to make money”.

By the early 2010s, at least two tycoons had seen their net worth approach that decabillion-dollar barrier, only to land in jail on corruption charges instead. That is not to say the charges were baseless, only that the choice of targets did appear to reflect a lingering, levelling tendency among China’s leaders.

In this new era, it’s dangerous to get too rich. Stories abound of the state launching investigations against this business figure or that financier. The pressure is drying up venture capital funds, scaring the young away from lucrative professions such as investment banking. The number of millionaires leaving China has been rising and peaked last year at 15,000 — dwarfing the exodus from any other nation.

Hilarious shit. It’s almost as if it’s impossible to get rich through honest and ethical means.

I support this. I have a home server running 24/7 with more than enough storage and wouldn’t mind seeding some prolewiki torrents.

Assuming web crawlers and Tor traffic are filtered out my guess would be in the range of 10 - 100 depending on the day.

The only possible glowop related to lemmygrad that we know of is Wenger/Wisconcom; Some guy from the US who claims to be Hoxhaist/Stalinist and calls this site and prolewiki “revisionist” because people here support the PRC. He lurks here and other places and has been actively attempting to infiltrate/wreck lemmygrad and prolewiki for over 2 years now. So far all of his attempts have hilariously failed, but for some reason he just never gives up. He might even be reading this very thread from a different account. I recommend “The Wiscon Files” for a deep dive.

Unless suddenly strange things start happening here on lemmygrad I think there is no need for this much paranoia (unless you’re somehow a big threat to the imperial state).
