I found what the issue that caused Sakurajima Social to went down. Apparently, Redis claims that it ran out of disk space, but I see tons of free space, which only makes me more perplexed as to what causes this to happen. Needs more investigation, but I have one clue as to why it's doing it.
@yon I mean, if Apple intend to make all the Macs gaming capable, they should add Vulkan support and make life easier.
Then again, “Pro” laptops and desktops tend to have the best graphics. Still, kind of sad gven they used to tout their Power Macs for gaming, as seen with the Rage 128 and even demonstrating games during the Keynote.
@chikorita157 Vulkan isn’t the only issue with Mac gaming. I can only vaguely remember all of them, but I ask from time to time when I get a chance to talk to game developers.
That said my least used modern gaming machine is my PC. Gaming on everything else is just so much easier and pleasant :)
(Not counting mobile gaming as I don’t play anything on my phone/tablet and no gaming on Macs either.)
@irfan I really need to find the root cause. The backend appears to be working, but Nginx cannot communicate with it through the reverse proxy. I think this is the second time this happened this month.
Apparently, there is a refresh of the ROG Ally with more RAM. I kind of wish the Ally had a USB 4 port instead of that proprietary port for GPUs as it's a lot easier and perhaps cheaper to get a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure and slap an AMD or Nvidia GPU.
Not that I plan on upgrading, seems more like a sidegrade as it's using the same APU, but have slightly more RAM.
@chikorita157 also I'm not really sure whether it's a good idea to get one in terms of customer support, given the reports on how bad the rma process is
@mikoto True, especially given that Gamer's Nexus video with them doing a warranty claim for broken sticks, and getting an invoice for an unrelated problem that doesn't need fixing.
@yon Tech in general has been rather mundane for a while. Apple Silicon is interesting, but they are just sealed, unupgradable machines. Back in the 2000s and even the 1990s, Macs used to be easy to upgrade and perhaps, more repairable and upgradable than it is now. Of course, while I got my own computer, although the “worst” Macintosh, the Performa 6200, it was at least better than any PC at the time. During my childhood, I actually tried playing some of the games I had on an IBM PS2 I think and it wouldn’t run because the video card can only do 16 colors. I know CDs are hard to get working on Windows system back in the day.let alone a sound card.
I just not very nostalgic towards Windows 95 or 98 like most people. It’s just not a good operating system. I just don’t like Windows in general, which is why I still use Mac
OS no matter how buggy it is. Glad I am since Windows is adding some intrusive features with Copilot.
If only there is an alternate reality where BeOS and OS/2 were viable alternatives. More choices would be better than just Desktop Linux, which has it’s own usability and ease of use issues.
@chikorita157 OS/2 was this weird pseudo Windows from IBM (well still is). Would have been enterprise beyond belief in the end:)
I started out on machines that weren’t very capable and upgradable. But they were fun. :) It’s more that nothing has made me go wow in the OS and computing space in so long:(
I think the closets might be No Man’s Sky in VR. But that’s pretty minor to the iPhone for example.
Zero idea what would make me go wow though. Whenever I hear about the next cool thing, it isn’t. The cool things tends to come out of nowhere.
