Good looks! Thanks for the well thought out response. I don't think I've ever used my direct baking info for anything. It always seemed like a terrible idea.

Credit card seems to be the way to go. Although, there have been some fairly recent developments in NFC exploits and I'm not sure I trust tap payments any more than swipe or chip.

I saw this a while ago. Its a little technical but still accessible

Hey thanks! I've heard that they require you to submit a copy of your drivers license in order to sign up... idk if Im comfortable with that honestly but maybe I'll give it a shot. I appreciate the recommendation!

 

I'm looking for some recommendations for digital debit/credit cards.

It feels like every other day there's 'the largest data breach in history' and at this point, I really don't trust any entity to safely and securely store PII.

That said, I like buying things on the internet, I'm not into crypto and would rather not include my real card information during checkout.

Any recs would be appreciated, thanks yall!

Some mans are unreadable. I've been curling cheat.sh/[command] and its been great for example commands. Highly recommend.

No starch press is my favorite. Welcome!

Agreed. As someone who doesn't really like shooters and never got into League or DOTA, I had mixed feelings about playing a 'hero shooter/moba'. I'm actually blown away at how good it is. They did phenomenal job. 10/10.

Don't worry bro, its just me and 2000 of my closest friends. Totally legit.

I'm sure nuclear can be super safe and efficient. The science is legit.

The problem is, at some point something critical to the operation of that plant is going to break. Could be 10 years, could be 10 days. It's inevitable.

When that happens, the owner of that plant has to make a decision to either:

  1. Shut down to make the necessary repairs and lose billions of dollars a minute.
  2. Pretend like it's not that big of a deal. Stall. Get a second opinion. Fire/harass anyone who brings it up. Consider selling to make it someone else's problem. And finally, surprise pikachu face when something bad happens.

In our current society, I don't have to guess which option the owner is going to choose.

Additionally, we live in a golden age of deregulation and weaponized incompetence. If a disaster did happen, the response isn't going to be like Chernobyl where they evacuate us and quarantine the site for hundreds of years until its safe to return. It'll be like the response to the pandemic we all just lived through. Or the response to the water crisis in Flint Michigan. Or the train derailment in East Palestine.

Considering the fallout of previous disasters, I think it's fair to say that until we solve both of those problems, we should stay far away from nuclear power. We're just not ready for it.

Oh shit that's crazy! Thanks for the detailed answer, I had no idea. Hopefully the reason it never released is cause they realized no one asked for that shit and went back to the drawing board... I mean it is Ubisoft so prolly not but one can hope.

Did they ever release the sequel to this game? I remember seeing a trailer for it a long time ago and it looked awesome. I've never played the series.

Title pretty much says it all. I've been using ubuntu as my daily driver for the last 5 years or so and honestly, I've had a wonderful experience with it.

That said, with the way things are going, I feel like its only a matter of time before Canonical pulls the rug out so I'd like to at least get my feet wet with something other than Ubuntu and Debian seems like the logical choice.

I mainly use my machines for gaming, self hosting, programming, and weird networking projects/automation testing.

I've heard gaming on debian isnt as 'out of the box' as it is with Ubuntu. So I'm hoping somone with more experience can share some tips on what I should be looking out for or point me to some good guides. Thanks yall.

EDIT: I fucking love this community. Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Title pretty much says it all. Anyone else running into this issue?

Setup:

  • rtx 3050 , nvidia 525 drivers(game doesn't load with 535 last I checked)
  • Running the DX11 version of the game
  • i7 10th gen
  • proton experimental
  • high graphics settings
  • 2 person direct connection. Second player has practically the same setup but i5.
  • Ubuntu 22.04

For the most part the game runs at a beautiful 45 - 50 fps but 8/10 times after I save, it drops to 10-15 fps and stays there. I've been reloading it every time and it gpes back to 45-50 like nothing happened.
