    Took me far too long to work how to get a plane to land, was drawing lines along the runway rather than dropping them on the coloured spot at the end and they were overflying. Was …

    Question is, as long as he's not using their assets, what leg have they to stand on and enforce this? He's selling his software, not infringing on theirs. On the money, had not spo…

    Context: It's a paid mod but doesn't appear the guy was in it for profit, rather to support the time spent which covers multiple games. The precedent here I find a little weak, a m…

    Ah just assumed it was broken, found the dev tools 'hack' Game is very much missing an intro

    I switched to Zen a while ago and while for the 'main browser window' it's fantastic I often open multiple smaller windows (in a tiling VM) and hated having to manage collapsing th…

    Caveat is very much expected, you should expect ZFS features to not rewrite blocks. Changes to settings only apply to new data for example.

    I believe so but would like better details. We used to use another provider that depended on exact kernel versions whereas the falcon-sensor seems quite happy with kernel updates.

    I see these tools as complimentary. Sometimes Sentry &al don't capture a user session (blocking, didn't consent &c) and this tool acts as a nice fallback you can instruct the user …

    For duplicate files I've used the following: - https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes - https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones The latter works well for larger datasets, outputs a…

    A NAS built from generic x86 hardware and some disks. Use ZFS, it's a bit of a rabbit hole but an excellent choice for both reliability/redundancy and as a tool to backup. I'm not …

    I find it depends on the number of subcommands and if those subcommands are clear. It's rather useful to have the options whittled down to just the ones you need if you know which …

    Spot on, Apple has done some fantastic work with these arm chips but we need the rest of the market to catch up so we have access to similar chips for other devices.

    These are Raspberry Pi Picos, they are embedded type devices and not the usual Pis you're used to. The keyboard I'm using right now uses the same chip (RP2040) as the Pico, runs QM…

    I don't have other controllers to compare against but found the Bluetooth latency on Linux similarly poor. Unsure if Linux problem or if this is limitation of Bluetooth. Given I pl…

    I'm aware it's not the same as Chrome profiles but multi-account containers, where individual tabs can have their own sessions, is a killer feature of Firefox. The ability to have …

    We've had a problem with the cables provided with ThinkVision USB-C monitors. They're so horribly stiff either end gets quite a lot of force exerted on it. We use them for hot-desk…

    I really like this idea. Is this supported anywhere yet or just something for future?

    I'm very much in the same boat as you here I think. I loved the idea of version controlled config and accepted the edit/reboot loop as that was the only way of doing it back then. …

    I've set up my own DIY version of this. It pulls a new image via a cron job and repaints the screen with it. I've not invested time looking into it but by default if the device sle…
