  • Holy smokes that’s a lot of data

  • Any way to compress game files on linux?

    Jump

  • Depends on the game. A title like dota will have a lot of savings (tens of gigabytes last I checked it). Most other games it seems don’t have obviously and easily compressible assets from a generic compression algorithm, and therefore will yield extremely minor savings.

    Checked some installed games. DotA is down to 36 gb from 67. Almost 54% the original size.

    RoboCop rogue city is 37->37gb. Negligible savings.

  • Oh yes, Democrats will always fill the ranks to meet the Republicans where they're needed. Even so, Fetterman should embrace his bad thoughts.

    But I like your take. You're right. Software should linearly get bloated and slower as a function based on time.

  • Why? Were we incapable of using computers 10-14 years ago when 2-8gb were standard? 16 gigabyte computer to log into email, instagram, and facebook. Give me a break.

  • Apple Was Caught Off Guard by MacBook Neo's "Off the Charts" Demand

    Jump

  • I walked into a Best Buy last fall just to kind of browse the computers on offer. The sales rep recommended a laptop (Asus, I think) with 16gb of RAM, saying he actually even got his aunt one of the same model he was recommending to me.

    That's insane. What the fuck is going on in these big tech companies that people are recommending 16gb of RAM for aunties and normies?

    Rhetorical question, the answers are: mega-reliance on webviews, every mid-level PM having to ship "features" to justify their position and to climb the corporate ladder, and every UI designer getting the brain-sickness that's rounded-corners and animations everywhere, while some VP of product insisting on more ads and user-tracking. Add "agentic" aka slop coding to cap a decade of learn-2-code bootcamp 2nd-rate programmers who vigorously studied Cracking the Coding Interview without properly understanding the fundamentals... and voila!

    That's the splendid thing about the Neo. Apple is saying ok, we know it's only 8GB of RAM, but through the service life of the laptop we can ensure that that will give you a good desktop experience.

  • What Is A Good Sub $300 Computer I Can Use For A Server?

    Jump

  • I do what you are asking about literally with a 2014 Thinkpad. The only thing is I don't use any "fancy" features. For instance, with Jellyfin I ensure that the data is in a commonly supported format to ensure there is no transcoding or remuxing performed by the server itself.

    So, just find any computer made in the last 7 years, slap Linux on it, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

  • I think you just need well-placed parks in the urban areas. I think it's worth asking ourselves why we don't really hear people bemoan the upbringing and experiences of kids from really urban cities like NYC or Tokyo. But when it comes to Soviet apartment blocs, this becomes a real concern. I think it's a double-standard that's been propagandized onto us.

    Notice the multiple "I thinks" -- it's not like I'm out here doing surveys on the topic. This is just how it seems to me.
