@stuff 2018 actually, and it's for mac/linux/windows, but it looks like a dos game. It's actually still not fully out, early access. https://freeholdgames.itch.io/cavesofqud If you want a true modern DOS game, there is Planet X3 and Shenzhen Solitaire, both released in the last 5 years for Dos.

@fribbledom Synology IS good, though the consumer grade one that my prior job bought is terrible for running VMs off of. I asked them to get a commercial grade unit, but instead they grabbed two consumer ones...

According to switch, I'm very consistent on the games I play. #1, Huge crafting game. #2, An RPG. #3: The Jupiter Picross game. #4: Some random popular thing. #5: A lesser Picross game.

@anime Sorry about the delay, but yeah, all of the HololiveCN members "graduated" and they closed down that branch, at least according to the discord server I'm in that is constantly talking about Hololive.

@redstarfish Of course, I only mention Arch because the Artix platform uses a significant portion of its code and packages to operate, thus Arch is also a component of an Artix system. It's also not X11, that's the protocol, the software is xorg, a derivative fork of xfree86.

All of these systems are just mix and match pieces that can be merged together any way you want, and I've even used a system before that used Gnu and Xfree86, but no Linux at all.

@redstarfish Or I could just call the system I use Artix. In the long run, if I start calling it Gnu/Linux/Runit/KDEPlasma/Grub/ZFS/Mesa/Clang/Xorg/Fish/Arch/Artix to actually give everyone appropriate credit, it would get unwieldy fast. Or I could just give three groups credit by calling it Artix Gnu/Linux, but that seems unfair with the sheer number of different groups who contributed to the system I'm running now. Just calling it Artix would let people go and look themselves at what composes an Artix system.

@redstarfish Of course, there are systems out there that are Linux, but not GnuLinux. Other than Android, Alpine is a particularly common example in containers and services. Void Linux also has non-GNU variants.

@stuff I saw the Toyota equivalent of the BRZ recently. Looked great. I think the next time I buy a brand new car I might get either that, or the BRZ.

@fribbledom (Of course, that's about as accurate as my normal method of conversion estimation.)

@fribbledom It's most accurate in converting 8 to 5. it gets less accurate as you go up, being a full mile off at 144km.

More details on this macOS thing...

@fribbledom (Bill Clinton's spiritual advisor was Tony Campolo.)

@fribbledom It's not particularly unusual. Obama also had an unofficial presidential spiritual advisor, Joshua DuBois. (Official title, Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.)

@requiem Someone on the Sudomod Discord grabbed a Pi 400, and tried it out. You can't power the 400 via the GPIO port, unfortunately. (And the USB-C port isn't hooked to the OTG port of the SoC.)

@avia @yamato_takeru_Z @zaitcev That was kind of ridiculous in the first part of Vietnam. Their aircraft were designed for beyond line of sight, but then they were forced to go visual confirmation only. Thus, they had an airforce of sitting ducks.

@zaitcev The YF-23 is a great looking plane. I would be amused if Japan ended up licensing the design, always thought it should have won against the F-22.

@requiem I use it to watch a few people that I used to watch on Youtube. It's mostly workable, but I'm not a fan of the electron interface for their desktop app. They released a new website for it called Odysee.com that basically pulls from the same back end protocol. It actually downloads the .mp4 file for the video to your system when you start playing it though, so you can view it via other players.

@requiem Possibly. You would need to have the charging circuitry in the battery pack itself likely, and plug the battery directly into the AC adapter to charge it, I don't think you would be able to use the USB-C port on the 400 itself. Other than that, you should be able to power the pi off the GPIO port.

@requiem https://youtu.be/OqpylxLhw98 There's teardowns. I don't think there's enough room inside for a battery. Maybe a very small one. It's not a particularly large unit.
