Anyone know good places to buy handhelds?
  • Anbernic release so many handhelds and the price tends to come down a couple months after release. Maybe the SP will get there? I got a 35xxh a little while back from a UK eBay seller for about £40 if memory serves. On the other hand I imagine the SP has been super popular so who can say.

  • Adding to the Docker chorus. I started using Docker before even using the command line. My route in was to use Unraid but that may not be best for you. I use Portainer in another install but I think the way it handles storage is a bit obtuse. In any case, as many others have said, using Docker is a piece of cake once you understand the basic ideas. Those being that a container is like a portable self contained machine that runs a specific service and any persistent storage needs to be outside the container. Containers are always my first idea when running a service as you know they will work on your system, you don't have to worry that there will be conflicts or whatever.

    What are your best intrusive ads ideas?
  • You know ad-supported kindles? Expand that to phones, TVs computers. Anything that can show or play an ad while it is off or when you turn it on. It's free real estate!

    What's a funny incorrect use of a word or phrase that always makes you laugh?
  • I had to look up what was wrong with it and still it seems like a very minor difference. But hey, I spend my time playing video games, who am I to judge what is worthy of one's time.

  • Well that opened up a memory. I don't think I ever managed to type. It all in, and if I did it probably got corrupted on my crappy tape recorder, but I remember going over the Silver Mountain one many times. Thank you.

    [FFVIII] 25 years later, Final Fantasy 8 remains the best love story told in gaming
  • Originally, like I suspect many who played ffvii as their first ff, I hated it. Hated how Squall was such a tool. Didn't really get the magic system. It was so different from ffvii and I has such high hopes.

    Over time I have really warmed to it. The story goes incomprehensible toward the end (for me at least) but the road to it is really quite fun. The draw system is interesting even if it discourages you from actually using magic. And yes, the love story is quite sweet at times.

    Squall is still a tool though.

    Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
  • YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.

    RUMOR: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake will be announced soon
  • Agreed. It is difficult to recommend in some ways because I didn't find it all that engaging at first. The gameplay was interesting but didn't massively hook me.

    dont look if you haven't finished it

    But then that bit with the swimming happened right at the end and... Wow. It just reframed the whole game for me.

    Ok, how do I start self-hosting?
  • I second containers. I use Unraid and have found it pretty simple to get started. At one point I was using a vm on unraid as my gaming machine, although I have moved away from that and now have a low power Unraid server for hosting.
