@timkellogg.me nice! is there a good resource to follow to find out about these releases? Seems we've had a few recently and I've been lucky to spot them at my provider, but it would be great if i saw it in my feed or something.

#OcarinaOfTime graphics thoughts : Totally uninformed and I’m sure this will grow on me.. but my initial thought is that the negative response about the graphics (and especially Child Link) isn’t about the models or textures, but about the rendering. Feels like the sharpness levels are too high […]

Setting up NVidia GPU passthrough on a proxmox machine using an old gaming rig. Upon initial boot (with nvidia drivers blacklisted for passthrough) the host uses 108W. After booting a VM with the NV card/drivers, power drops to 85W ! Ideas on how to lower host power usage when the VM is not […]

[ending Spolier] I heard some people aren’t happy with Aang’s choice in the final battle. I’m good with it. My only concerns are that it was a bit derivative of a Yoda dark side lesson and it’s sort of the easy reset to avoid any retcon. But those aren’t a huge deal, and I think it more […]

This whole #SteamDeck pricing thing is super odd.. they raise the prices a crazy amount and still sell out ? No way they sold a ton at these prices, so either stock was low or they deliberately took them off the market again due to the backlash. Strange.

@joplinapp .. can this be disabled? Allowing YouTube code to run, even if the video isn’t played, outside a browser (with adblockers/etc) is definitely a privacy/tracking concern, and potentially a security concern depending on if it is sandboxed to not have access to my notes.
