These days they can also chain together tools, keep a working memory etc. Look at Claude Code if you’re curious. It’s come very far very quickly in the last 12 months.

How can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?

Sounds like you need WUPHF: https://youtu.be/uRoCMde-Cm8

Using it for upscaling and frame interpolation was reasonable - that felt like a good use of AI to emulate higher performance for a lower cost. But using it as a filter over the entire vision of the game? Utterly insane and strongly smells of NVIDIA targetting other companies for more investment/sales, not gamers.

Given how big the LGBTQ+ community is in the games industry, they really need to host this in Vancouver or Toronto until things settle down in the USA.

Find a company that values engineers. The one you’re at doesn’t, whether they understand that or not.

You’re kind of describing BitTorrent! And it works brilliantly. But it’s still challenging with such huge data archives to get many seeders… who has 390TB spare.

But I think I get what you’re saying, where it’d be nice if you could just say to the internet at large “here’s 5TB of storage to play with on a reasonable internet connection” and the entire universe of torrents would magically figure out what blocks of data to put on your drive to ensure enough duplication for all torrents, regardless of their size.

Thanks for the CrowdSec tip, I’ve already got an nginx reverse proxy set up but wasn’t aware I could integrate this for extra protection.

It always surprised me they never invested properly into building a decent Steam competitor that gamers actually want to use. Instead they’ve persisted with the free games dangling carrot. It’s a shame, we could have used some competition there.

What do you say Lemmy, should we all put in $20 and make an acquisition offer? The people in this thread should cover it.

Similar story here. I would guess an ultrasonic sensor would be the most reliable solution for OP, since all the tech can be kept at the top of the well. The only minor question I have is whether echoes would be an issue in a well, but I think it’s worth trying to find out! You can get inexpensive preassembled units that work with Zigbee/Tuya,

Edit: This is what I used as a cheap off-the-shelf solution - https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPR6XlJ

This seems especially handy for anyone who wants a snapshot of Reddit from pre-enshittification and AI era, where content was more authentic and less driven by bots and commercial manipulation of opinion. Just choose the cutoff date you want and stick with that dataset.

Set yourself clear milestones. When will this project be “done”? What features is the engine going to have? What is in/out of scope?

And be aware, as an indie you either make a game engine or you make a game. It’s near impossible to achieve both without sinking a crazy amount of time into it.

Making a game engine is an excellent way to sharpen your skillset when it comes to programming, math, physics, and graphics APIs. But it’s an awful way to make a game. Just be sure you’re going into it for the right reasons.

If you have the room, why not go full ATX? More compatibility with available parts and room for future upgrades! Drives, GPUs, NICs, HBAs etc.

In my experience it always goes wrong at the least opportune time. Before an important zoom call, as you’re about to leave for the airport etc. My NAS and services (especially Home Assistant) are so mission critical now that I like to have a warm backup ready to go, even if it’s a stop-gap measure.

IMHO RPi is still a good choice for HA. SD cards are cheap enough now that you can have a spare handy with Home Assistant OS already flashed on it, then if/when your current SD card dies, just swap it out and restore HA from last backup. Only takes a few minutes and happens about as often as a hard drive dies.

All depends on how much you value separation of concerns with a proxmox setup.

I DIY’d a PIKVM from an old Raspberry Pi 4 I had lying around for use in a homelab server. It’s been great, no complaints here, very handy if you need BIOS or direct console access from a phone or laptop. I especially like that you can hook up the PC power buttons to allow hard power cycling via the web interface. Though if you’re looking for something portable you’d probably skip that part.

Nice try Satya.

I bet the journalist sat on the headline for a while… Missing Linknus… Missing Linusk… oh forget it.

I did similar recently! Proxmox has been amazing, I wish I did it sooner. It’s so nice being able to spin up as many containers/VMs as I like, and spread memory/CPU/disk as needed between various appliances. I’ve found Home Assistant a little snappier as well.
