  • I run a personal dnsmasq just for dns resolving/routing. It integrates well with Networkmanager. Easy to work with and very reliable to have the DNS resolution and routing be handled by dnsmasq. Single command to reload NetworkManager which also reloads the integrated dnsmasq. I like it and it offers a lot of control for me. I hate having to use the hosts file for when I am connecting to labs via VPN with their own network. dnsmasq is way better at handling subdomains than the hosts file and it feels way more reliable than just hoping the minimal DNS routing system works properly.



  • Reading the room is a skill, not a burden… Keep your opinion, we also have our own. No wonder YouTube got rid of the down vote button and other social platforms don’t really have one. Both sides pretty much want to suppress each other. No matter how much I like factorio, I don’t think many people who do play it care about is looks and the people who also play mindustry also don’t care how “terrible” it looks when we consider your standards as the measurement…

    You done goofed your reasoning. You rolled a nat 1 on charisma and intelligence check. Rip bozo



  • There are definitely some maps on the new planet where I seemingly realized that pausing was strictly necessary as the waves start overwhelming the defenses and units to the point that I either run out of resources or they somehow sneak one drone in that wrecks havoc on the supply lines that are already packed with not enough space to add the turrets that can deal with the advanced units. Eventually, it really became a race to finish as fast as possible. Also, the staggered unlocks or limited resources on some maps were brutal.

    Given the fact it looks like something that looks to be something that was real but edited to be fake is a big compliment. Sure we could focus on the fake looks but you can tell it really did make decent progress on improving realistic features. Though simple everyday stuff that is not major photoshoots with heavily edited/stylized photos but rather look like it was real is still something that is not close to being possible. Many times is just because it looks clean, shiny, smooth and plastic. As art it does pretty well. Of course the hands are lacking in form but that is easily fixable.



  • Yeah Linux still has plenty to work on. It’s unfortunate how limited the support is. If game and app developers could target Linux, then the cost to support and maintain would be lower than they have to do with Windows. Unfortunately, market share and power of defaults work against us.

    If you can, look towards getting a steam deck. At least that is a Linux thing that is pretty decent and portable.




  • Yes, but I usually add my public key to the authorized_keys file and turn off password authentication once i do login with a password. On top of that, I have a sshpass one line command that takes care of this for me. It’s much easier than trying to manually type a password for the next time. I save it and just run it every time I think about using password login. Next time I need to ssh, I know the password login is not necessary.

    sshpass -p ‘PASSWORD’ ssh USER@IP.ADDRESS “echo ‘`cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`’ > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && echo ‘Match User !root
    PasswordAuthentication no
    Match all’ > /etc/ssh/sshd_config’ && exit” && ssh USER@IP.ADDRESS

    At the next reboot, your system will now only accept key logins, except for root. I hope the root user password is secure. I don’t require it for root because if a hacker does gain shell access, a password(or priv esc exploit) is all they need to gain root shell. It is also a safety net in case you need to login and lost your private key.

    KDE’s plasma centered Linux Operating system. So to not be overly pedantic, I stuck with what this lemmy post was about. I didn’t say the plasma desktop environment was an OS.

    I said “a linux operating system made by the KDE team” in which the KDE team referenced their OS as Plasma in the Mastodon post, or “toot,” shown in this lemmy post.

    I said its a linux operating system, and the whole installation from Desktop environment to the compiled kernel and preinstalled executables was carefully made by the KDE team. They literally said Operating system on their mastodon post, “toot,” this lemmy post shows. So its correct what I said

    OK, I understand your idea. However, I will have to throw some cold water on you. You did a market analysis, and you saw the margins for low-end gaming PCs were too high. However, what you didn’t do is market analysis on the clients. You half ased it and got burned. From my experience, customers do not do much research or think logically about what they spend their money on. It’s true that people will most likely make bad financial decisions. They will see your lower priced PCs and overthink it. They will believe that the lower priced stuff is also lower quality and a worse deal. There is a range in which they believe a PC should cost, and by undercutting the competition, you estranged your client base. On the other hand, presentation and words matter a lot to people and the algorithms(search engine optimizers). They don’t care about acronyms or technical words. If you look at how Apple and other giant tech brands marker their technology, you will find that specs take a back seat. On the flip side, the experience and capabilities take center stage. Making your clients feel welcomed and meeting their desires without accidentally coming off as “cheap garbage” is a tricky balancing act.

    If you don’t want to do this type of marketing and selling, then just make the PCs work for you instead.


  • Maybe don’t try to market them as gaming PCs and just market them as great workstation PCs. Also, it depends on the market and your inventory imports. If your market is people who can afford current Gen laptops, they will not like your PCs. If you market them as home theater media streaming PCs for those who want something better than a firestick, then it will make a better selling point. Either way, if you have a steady supply of these low-end PCs, then think about multiple markets instead of limiting your client base to just cheap gaming PCs. There is so much more a computer can be. Do some market research on your local or online markets and make the PCs capable of solving their needs.
