Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn’t do all the hard work by themselves.

Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That’s basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.

Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.

I wish there was a blacklist in Sponsorblock. I mostly just need it for one channel, in others I don’t mind as much.

In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.

It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.

The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.

When there are several waterfalls in the game and not one has a secret behind it.

Currently before establishing an encrypted connection to a webserver the domain is sent to the webserver unencrypted so that the server can choose the appropriate certificate to use for encryption. That is called SNI, Server Name Indication.

Of course that’s a privacy risk. There are finally protocols to fix this but they aren’t very widespread and depend on DNS over HTTPS.

I think issuing certificates based on the IP and sending the domain name encrypted based on that certificate could have fixed this issue ages ago.

I never understood why we don’t use IP certificates to encrypt the domain with SNI.

Yes, I love giving other people access to my private pictures I explicitly don’t host on Google, Dropbox or other external clouds. I usually pay them from the hoard of gold that’s stashed away under my bed.

Yeah, trouble is that it doesn’t really work well with Nextcloud together so I would have to migrate all of my devices.

And in the end it doesn’t work much better than NC.

Nice to see that the professionals have the same problems I have.

I actually want AI on my Nextcloud. As long as it runs locally. We’ve taken thousands of pictures over the years and desperately need some help in categorising them. Unfortunately so far I wasn’t able to find any reliable way to automate it.

My router has a VPN server built-in. I usually use that.

The important stuff is fortunately almost totally spelled out and hard to miss.

Damn, I came really close the other day. Managed to live through the “the game will kill you now” event. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep up when I was at the boss.

But to progress the game you have to get up.

But when you finish the game a new mode is added allowing you to play normally with increasingly more difficult challenges you can put on yourself.

Man I hate the pessimism. It’s a month away and one organizer is saying he’s done if this fails.

Wouldn’t be the first petition to gain massive momentum before the finish line.

That’s why you see this post. As a last ditch effort to get the petitions over their threshold.

That’s probably the new Extended Dynamic Range setting from Plasma 6.4. You can find it in the display settings. It is meant to adjust the display’s brightness to emulate an HDR display.

I wonder what the dev part of devops means.
