janNatan,

But your gun still clips through your jetpack.

janNatan,

I use Proton VPN (lowest paid tier) to stream German television. Works great for me. I get the occasional stutter, but my Internet isn’t the best. I also get that when viewing local content.

janNatan,

Torrents, mostly. Torrents and pretending to be from another country/state are the top uses for a VPN. I guess VPNs can also help with “dark web things,” but I don’t know enough about those to offer any advice.

janNatan,

I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her “main” job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.

janNatan,

Hey, friend. I just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t get New Vegas to run on my (up to date) Linux PC until I installed the custom Proton version called “Proton GE.” The GE stands for Glorious Eggroll, which is the username of the developer. There’s guides on how to install it on the GitHub’s readme. I know it may sound complicated to someone new, but you can do it!

Here’s a link to the read me: github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom?tab=r…

Scroll down to the “native” install instructions.

Of course, you can ignore this if New Vegas just works for you as it seems to for many others. My system is MX Linux, not Mint.

janNatan,

Thankfully, nvidia actually released open source drivers for their cards a couple years ago or so. Nvidia cards are much more compatible with Linux now than they used to be.

Proton is a Windows compatibility layer for games developed by Valve for Steam. It’s based on Wine. Wine originally stood for WINdows Emulator, but it now stands for “Wine Is Not (an) Emulator,” which I always found funny. Technically, it is translation layer for system calls, I think. It’s very good these days!

But really, the only thing to know about Proton is that for any game in Steam, you can go into the “compatibility” preferences and enable Proton for that game. This can allow Windows games that Valve doesn’t support to work in Linux. It’s not perfect, however. ProtonDB (database) is a website full of user reviews of how well Proton works with games. They will tell you what tweaks they used to get games working!

janNatan,

I’ve been getting this message a lot in 1.5 - it may be bug. I’ve yet to have people actually get hungry on a caravan, but my trips are also 3-4 days max. (I cut my time in half by far-skipping back.)

janNatan,

The best way to dual boot is to have separate hard drives for Windows and Linux. I’m not aware of some distros bring more windows friendly than others.

janNatan,

I dream every night. I even dream frequently while taking naps, sometimes as short as 15-20 minutes.

Many dreams I forget shortly upon waking. As in, I can’t remember what it was about by the time I get out of bed. But, I do actually remember the dream for a few seconds, so I know it happened. The majority of my dreams I can recall for the rest of the morning or even day. If something noteworthy happened, I can remember the dream for days, weeks, or years. I really depends on how impactful/meaningful the dream was.

I have not used sleep journals or anything of that nature to help me remember dreams. I have always been like this. I also have had sleep paralysis and sporadic insomnia for about as long as I can remember - not severe or frequent enough to need treatment.

janNatan,

Oh, don’t worry. They’re ending support for old teams soon. You won’t have a choice anymore.

Not only are new teams notification banners annoying, new teams no longer makes a noise for every single notification, like it used to. I rather have a ding than a banner, especially since I tend to use all of my screen space.

janNatan,

Actual box for display.

janNatan,

Mostly just purely nostalgic reasons, computer software in boxes.

janNatan,

Sackware Store seems to be down right now. Unfortunate.

janNatan,

Thanks. I was hoping for an actual set in like a cardboard box.

janNatan,

A play? No, I just saw an old Linux box and wondered if anybody still made them.

janNatan,

Wie komisch! I actually know German, but they don’t deliver to the USA. Thank you, though.

janNatan,

Thank you. I see the DVDs and the USB sticks, but how can you tell which ones actually come as a box set? It’s really the box I’m interested in.

janNatan, (edited )

Can I make my own Linux install media? Yes. I do it all the time. Can I make my own software box with cool artwork and booklets and various other goodies? No.

janNatan,

I could, but I have no aptitude for visual art. I’d sooner buy one of the vintage Linux boxes. And I may very well do that.

janNatan,

I would argue cereal is cold porridge.

janNatan,

If you ever sweat, like ever, smart watches may not be for you. I’ve had 3, different brands (all Android Wear OS), and my sweat eventually tarnished the charging contacts to the point of no use (even after being cleaned with alcohol and something abrasive) all three times.

So, if you sweat, you’re gonna wanna make sure the charging contacts don’t touch your skin. Ever.

janNatan,

If you’re opening up the laptop for all these replacements, you should consider replacing your thermal paste as well. If the laptop is over 5 years old, it may benefit from the replacement.

I’d recommend trying to find an ifixit guide or a video of someone else opening up the laptop online and reading/watching that first. Getting to the cpu is usually a little harder than RAM/battery.

If you did all that, it would really feel brand new.
