Early Beta Minecraft was interesting because it felt like anything was possible. The documentation was not like it is now, so it felt like there was a lot more. That was probably enhanced by me being an imaginative kid at that time. The early generation kept things weird and fun. I miss those days.

I'd have left Twitch if I didn't find it more entertaining than current YouTube. No one should be surprised they're at pre-covid profit levels again because they tried to shovel way too many ads down people's throats.

Imagine tuning into a random stream and getting greeted by 3 ads before you can understand if you want to stay or check a different one. I've been frustrated enough that I just turn to something else altogether for entertainment.

There are some decent adblockers like TTV.LOL, which is a simple proxy to a country that doesn't allow ads. But sometimes those solutions don't work either. Ironically I just use Turbo while not paying for YouTube premium, but just as people don't pay for YouTube Premium, I understand not wanting to support Twitch for a variety of reasons.

I use Alpine Linux. It's exceptionally stable, great for pretty much any device and is best for small VPS with limited space/ram. Nice package manager too, but it is limited in packages.

It works great for me since I only use docker containers, but some things outside docker may require something like Debian instead.

Thanks for your work! I moved when I could finally import Wallabag bookmarks, and I'm loving everything so far.

I use Arkane Linux, which is based on Arch but is immutable. Every update is a new install. You can easily configure custom images to deploy for your specific wants or needs. It's nice for keeping up to date with Arch while keeping how my machine is configured declared in an image. You can always roll back if something was wrong with the image you deployed too.

If you're running the most recent kernel, I'd recommend moving to linux-lts. I have slightly similar specs, KDE Wayland, 6900 xt and 5800, and I had issues with games straight up crashing out my PC on the latest kernel.

If they get their hands on an LTSC ISO they can hold out on Windows 10 a little longer.

I'd say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I've resorted to Google because I think I'm getting lackluster results, it's got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi's personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.

It's a paid service that in return respects privacy, and has results as good as Google's.

Google doesn't say "Fuck you, Pay me" because you are the product.

Intel gave more detail to Tom's Hardware and they updated the article up top. This still sounds a little disingenuous to me, like they're still trying to minimize the issue with words and no action.

Gamer's Nexus has a recent video with some possible explanations.

It feels great to live in the US, a first world shithole.

It's a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.
