Most early disc consoles had nonstandard discs in some way. Even if they are readable with a standard drive I doubt MS will support it. (They’ve surprised me with this announcement though, so who knows)

Not sure if you’ve seen but Gears 2 got some sort of recomp/port about a week ago. I haven’t had a chance to play it too much yet but the tutorial with Carmine worked without a hitch. https://www.moddb.com/mods/gears-of-war-2-hollow

You can’t change the vdev type/layout of a drive without wiping all data stored on it. The one exception is adding a drive to a RAIDZ1, which is allowed but has some annoying repurcussions. I’m not sure if the TrueNAS interface will let you create a vdev that is missing drives, but you probably can using zfs commands and I’d expect TrueNAS to accept it like any other vdev once mounted.

In any case, you should really have a separate backup which can serve as your second copy.

Cool, I’ve been wanting to give the older hitmans another chance after loving WOA. I couldn’t really get past the controls when I tried them but this must be adding controller support for consoles.

Probably the same as on a Linux desktop now, the browser sites work fine but you won’t get 4k or HDR.

I usually check the length of each episode with the disc open in VLC and find the title with a matching length in MakeMKV, so I can set the names before extracting. Jellyfin supports naming episode files ‘S01E01 Episode Name’ which makes it easy to track what the file really is in case the db ordering turns out to be different. For nonserialized shows where order mismatches are likely I’ll check with TVDB as I’m going through the episodes on the disc.

I’m a fan of inclusive min, exclusive max for rng. It behaves consistently with decimal numbers in a readable way, for example int(0,100) can return 100 different integers. x<0 has a 0% chance of happening, x<50 is 50%, x<100 is 100%. If you swap with dec(0,100) you could now get 99.999 but x<50 is still exactly 50%

I do agree with amio on consistency and making sure each method added is worth the abstraction.

If this does mean WINEDLLOVERRIDES won’t be needed I’ll be very happy, it’s been very fiddly trying to get optiscaler working.

I’m sure they are, but but I think their effort is targeted at standalone headsets and won’t translate much to wired headsets.

Wireless headsets do have fewer issues on Linux, from what I’ve read. A lot of the stuff I’m missing like passthrough and boundaries are probably handled by the headset instead of the pc.

In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn’t work and it feels like there’s some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.

I’ve switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.

I wouldn’t recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I’d probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr’s linux performance)

This is my setup, though my phone is set to only run syncthing while plugged in and on wifi. My server is always online and taking backups, but if it’s down all of my devices still have their own copy.

Has anybody ever called tariffs his only or even primary playing card? I know Trump’s a big fan of them, but they have nothing to do with his election interference, free speech suppression, weaponized justice department, or directly putting federal money in his own pocket. Tariffs are how he’s raising prices and destroying the US’s international relationships and standing, but he has plenty of other options for that.

Just booted up to check, 245s for me and I don’t think I could do it again now.

Having a great time with the Banjo-Kazooie recomp. Cleared everything up to Click Clock Wood so far.

Some of that variance might come from which ones are makemkv compatible.

In case anybody hasn’t seen this deranged page on whitehouse.gov

“Why do I criticize Democrats” “…because both parties are terrible in every way, but the dems are terrible in a bonus way too.” I don’t see how that first bit changes the meaning of the rest.

Do you consider the two parties to be equally bad, or do you consider one to be worse than the other?

So you agree with the statement? Or are you saying the dems are meaningfully worse so people should participate in opposition to them?

Could you explain the context? I am clearly missing something, because most of what I see here reads like dems are the greater threat.

Here’s an example: “They are not equally bad, the side that poses as an ally and a protector of is the marginalized while actively causing them harm is by far worse.”
