In my home lab I have them separate the OPNSense box has full performance on its own HW, only needs to be patched once in a while and is super stable.

I have managed to crash / lockup one of my proxmox hosts at least once while messing around with HW past though or by giving a guest enough cores to slow the whole box down.

Family never gets interrupted playing games or streaming Netflix with my lab separate from the critical internet service.

New versions of OPNsense installed with ZFS support snapshots before upgrading natively sort of taking one of the promox vm tricks out of the pro list making it neutral.

Nearly all brands have produced unreliable and a reliable series of hard drives.

Really have to look at them based on series / tech.

None of the big spinning rust brands really can be labeled as unreliable across the board

OpenOMF is an Open Source remake of "One Must Fall 2097" by Diversions Entertainment.

For those that had no idea what this abbreviation stood for.

console = network, game = content.. is my argument.

IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase.. it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle

99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform

I was asked this at a café less than ten minutes ago now.

I guess this would be country/state dependent.

Have you heard of the Information superhighway?

"Will that be smoking or non smoking?" Asked as a restaurant

"I think you flooded it" in relation to a car not starting. (well unless you work on very old cars)

"I got it off Napster"

"want to listen to my mix tape?"

"I can burn you a CD of that"

It won't be green because of the cold.. If it doesn't doesn't snow it is a brown / yellow Christmas.

Also you can't use your cross country skis, sleds, snowmobiles etc if there isn't any snow. No one wants to go out in the cold MUD.

Pamela O’Rourke says cannabis products for chronic pain condition, though not prescribed

though not prescribed

Hard to believe that anyone travels the world without even doing a little research on laws.. Even prescribed Dubai probably would have had issues with it.

It was only legalized semi recently in Canada, it is even still a problem if you try and take it to the US as there are challenges there.

Edit: to be clear I feel sorry for them but also really not surprised or outraged.. This is the expected outcome of brining a very controlled item into a country that has strict laws.

I cant make out the model number in your photo..

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/iphone/iphone-faq/differences-between-iphone-3g-iphone-3gs.html

Although external identification requires sharp eyes to spot it down at the bottom of the back of the phone, the iPhone 3G is model number A1241 and the iPhone 3GS is A1303. The China-only iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS models that do not have Wi-Fi are model number A1324 and A1325, respectively.

FYI I owned both, the 3GS was just leaps faster than the 3.. At this point however I would be surprised if there would run without a full battery swap due to age.

 

Probably the first article in a while that clearly outlines WHERE the negations are at and what each side wants.

 

There are several common words and terms I would like to stop seeing posts about but only in specific communities. Having the words or terms blocked in other communities or global matches too many things.

It would also be nice for the filter to be Title, URL or body specific.

 

I was recently trying to get some of the 4 player local games I have to work remotely.. Some have native multiplayer but with limitations (castle crashers only lets two local and two remote players play) bople battle only allows one local player in remote multi player mode.

However for both the above I was able to get remote play together working which basically let me map the remote player to a controller and play the game in local mode.

This however only worked on these games, I THINK they are linux native.. Games that didn't work / provide no controller mapping for remote play together Streets of rage 4, TMNT Redders revenge did not work. These games show support for remote play together in the steam library but I suspect the limitation is on the steam deck?

Anyone else have experience with Remote Play Together on the steam deck? It is nice as the remote party doesn't need a copy of the game and as noted gets around some of the multi player limits of some games.

Any suggestions? Alternatives? Tweaks?

 

Wouldn't be the holiday shopping season without some payment processing outages.

 

Due to variable subject length and these items being part of the same line as the subject they get pushed around a lot which makes them hard to see find when scrolling through history.

Would be nice if these links / scores where at the front of the subject OR the "next line" to be consistent.

lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.

It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.

 

When opening a discussion/comment from your profile / history you only see the replies to your comment.

Is there any way to expand all the replies to the topic? I don’t see any way do to that?

 

askacanadian has no posts yet is "trending"

 

Is there a way to search posts within a community?

I see there is a NSFW filter but is there or is it planned to have a text / post filter? I would really love of not see the constant posts about what is going on at Reddit or Twitter anymore. I left, I am done with that.

 

Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?

Constant donation nagging like Wikipedia?
