#even tho linux is best

[silvercat-the-daydreamer]

right touhou13 experience yeah

(post with considerable delay since i was first waiting for my friend to come back to tumblr, can't just hoepost without them y'know, that'd be rude-- and then i procrastinated on that for several more days,,, you know how it is.)

OH OKAY THIS SHITS EASY ALRIGHT-- I DID ALMOST 1CC IT ON EASY FIRST TRY (n then got it on the second). that's hardly anything. i did get to miko's last attack on the first try without using any continues and then i died there. kinda wet and soggy compared to byaku. like come on miko my guy, how can you live with her being harder than you...

(maybe i should have started with this one, but maybe attempting to figure out the controls while also having to frequently dash up to the top of the screen to grab the things would not be the best idea. who knows. hard to find out now.)

yeah, well, just because i was taken over by the sudden and overwhelming need to look at miko, i went and played touhou13. i'm sure you understand. i just think she's neat.

in any case the gimmick of this game is Interesting for sure. more grab-the-fuckin-things. i love these sorts of things actually. then there's also something neat about being basically dead when you get hit but still being around for a few more seconds but then inevitably dying anyway. very cool. i just haven't really figured out how to use that efficiently i think...

MUSIC GOES REAL HARD TOO. IT'S GOT PECULIAR NOISES HELL YEAH. now that i actually have something to describe that with instead of just "really interesting". futo's theme beloved. stage 2 theme too. and of course miko's theme is a real banger as well even tho it doesn't have that peculiar noises. directly after watching my friend beat the game on stream a few days before i played it i listened to it on loop for an hour while working on a spreadsheet. bless

...that being said, miko's theme does go hard but despite being really speedy and stuff it also feels strangely calm. maybe... "focused" is a more appropriate word. interesting for sure.

now, i really appreciate how interesting the spellcards of this are. fuckin kyouko's with the reflecting? would probably confuse the fuck out of me on higher difficulties but i love it. also the several spells in this game where someone just brings in their buddies. in which i also really appreciate the detail of seiga moving to her pet zombie to heal her if she's knocked out. that's kinda cute.

however. yoshika's.

listen.

I Like The Concept. but. hooo fucking boi are those spellcards where she heals herself annoying. like jesus fuckin christ dude especially the last one can i please get through that without timing out thank you. waurgh.

apart from that there's also that one part in stage 4 where there's a bunch of guys comin at you from the sides at high speeds and throwing things at you, and i really enjoy that part bc there's so much going on and the speediness of the soundtrack works nicely to bring out the vibe of great nyoomage. hell yeah.

(also is it just from me playing this game on linux or does anyone else get a fuckton of graphical glitches playing this. nothing gamebreaking but sometimes just displays unrelated graphics on some bullets which seems to happen most often on kyouko's spells and miko's final one in which it displays big stars for a few frames sometimes. not something that happens with any other touhous i played.)

so anyways miko's birthday is coming up soon isn't it. wonderful fuckin timing. (almost as great of a timing as when i first played touhou15 and then looked out the window after i beat it to see the wonderful full moon. that was really cool. we should all appreciate such small but neat things.) i need to like draw her or smth.

[roebeanstalk]

months ago i amazed many by saying i liked windows 11 (within an hour of installing it)

i still like it, mostly. however, of course:

here are the things i do not like about windows 11, as promised.

-yeah, a lot of right click options are under "show more options" now, requiring you to click through for a lot of stuff. extra clicks. annoying. -the window snapping to edges uh, hitbox, is bigger now and it's kind of annoying. sometimes yes, i really do just wanna put a window kinda in the corner but not have it take up a predetermined amount of screen. takes some nudging -sometimes streaming on discord does not do audio?? i dont get it but it works sometimes. i also use eartrumpet so this could be on me somehow lol -sometimes i have a hard time finding old settings. it seems like moving things over from the old settings/control panel style is a work in progress and happening slowly - so not everything's migrated yet. idk if it all will. but it can just be tricky finding stuff. it's THERE, somewhere, but it's harder to find than it should be probably -taskbar can't be moved. i do not like that. it's fine but i just used to always have my taskbar either on the top of my screen or on the left. i'm used to it now. -the widgets box could be so fuckin cool. but they force you to have a bunch of awful news stuff and i can't seem to figure out how to either get rid of it entirely, or make sure it doesn't show me stuff that'll make me rage. so i never use it, despite a lotta useful stuff.

here are some things i am loving about windows 11 tho, because i am sticking with it lol

-rounded corners. they just make me happy. -centered taskbar. hell yeah. -phone link is massively improved. i can text and call my mom from my computer now. nice. -quick settings. this is in windows 10 but it always felt kinda pointless. here it has a lot of little settings, and you can do a lot without having to leave the box finally. yay. -window organization/snapping - yes i bitched about this. however, built in are some grids that help for some quick organization in a really nice way that you could only do while running power toys. i admittedly still use it

BEST THING ABOUT WINDOWS 11 THAT PC ARTISTS WILL UNDERSTAND: it remembers window/monitor locations. so if you disconnect your cintiq with clip studio open, even though it bumps it to your main monitor... IT GOES BACK WHEN YOU PLUG YOUR CINTIQ BACK IN. it actually remembers which monitor a program was on in different settings (extend, pc screen only, duplicate, etc). fuckinggg finally. so good.

anyway

i'm sure i will hate the things i love and love the things i hate and learn how to do things or windows will update them out. i'm here for it.

SHRUG!!! it feels modern finally and not like, an attempt to be modern. so that's cool. it'll get there eventually i hope, or ai will take it over in a horrific manner. we'll see.

(note to linux people: do not tell me to use linux i will go into a rage) (note to mac people: do not tell me to switch to a mac unless you're buying me a new mac)

[silent-hill-2-official]

Apologies for necro-posting, but I looked through the notes and while people have given you some pros and cons, no one actually walked you through getting it up and running, and I might as well give my best shot at helping someone evacuate from windows 11, so here is the Jack Joy's Explanation and Guide to Linux. Chapter 0: The Pitch for the Penguin.

Linux is all about freedom. While Windows and MacOS are Walled Gardens that are slowly stripping away control from their users and extracting more and more from you, the person who is using a non-linux OS, Linux does not do that shit. Free and Open Source Software is the name of the game in Linux, as that is what is mostly being developed in that space by an army of volunteers passionate about keeping the PC personal. That comes with some caveats though. A lot of the software you use is proprietary, and while some of that is still available on Linux, most of it is not. Some you'll expect. Some you wouldn't think is even proprietary and will surprise you when you lose access to it. The Linux community has done it's best to provide solutions for a lot of these, and you will find that a lot of what you want to use has some alternative in linux, but some things will just be fucked. You trade convenience for control.

Chapter 0.5: When you are a King very few choices are simple

If the Pitch convinced you, then congrats, you now have one of the hardest decisions to make as a Linux User. What Distribution of Linux are we using? Distributions (or Distro's for short) are all different OS' who run on the Linux Kernel, the thing that gives your machine thought and makes it possible to run the hit video game Team Fortress 2 (2007). There are a lot of distributions of linux, all of which do weird things with it, but my personal Picks are as follows.

Linux Mint

Linux Mint is the gold standard for stupid simple linux distro. It just works*, it comes with a DE(desktop Enviroment) that is reminiscent of windows 7 so adjustment should be minimal and overall, is very uncomplicated. Is a bit bland tho. *(things still break sometimes).

Ubuntu

Ubuntu meanwhile you probably already heard of. Think of it as the MacOS of Linux. It has the most company support, it's DE called GNOME is very MacOS like in it's design language, incredibly stable, but also very poor in customization. If something says tested on linux, a lot of the time, it means tested on Ubuntu.

EndeavourOS

EndeavourOS is my linux distribution of choice. It's based off of Arch Linux, which is what powers the Steamdeck with SteamOS, and as such has a lot of nifty Arch linux niceties, like the Arch User Repository, and KDE Plasma as it's DE. It tries to combine being user friendly while letting you tinker with everything, it is on the cutting edge of linux, but that also means that stuff CAN break more often.

These are just my picks. Some other notable beginner friendly Linux Distros that might pique your interest could be Pop_Os, Manjaro, Elementary OS and probably a bunch of others that I forgot or don't even know exist until someone will complain at me for forgetting after writing this guide. Choice my friend. You have a lot of it, and so think about what you want from your PC and go with the distro that seems to be best suited for your usecase, whether it be as a game machine or to just use firefox and libreoffice.

Chapter 1: Performing OS Replacement Therapy on your PC

So, you know what Linux Distro you are gonna use, you know you are ready to do this, so how are we doing this? Pretty simple in all honesty. We only need:

A Flash drive (USB preferred, SD or micro SD card readers can get FUNKY)

Balena Etcher

The ISO of the flavor of Linux you want to use

Some knowledge of how to navigate your computers BIOS

And preferably a secondary boot device (IE, a second SSD in your PC)

Plug your USB into your PC, and with Balena Etcher flash your ISO onto it. If you got another USB to spare, it is a good idea to flash an image of Windows 7 onto it. Think of that second USB stick as a "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass" type of safety precaution. We don't wanna have to use it, but it's good to have just in case. Reboot your PC with your Linux flashed USB stick in, and get into your BIOS. There you are going to pull that USB stick up the boot loader until it goes before windows. If that is somehow not an option, you might have to fuck around with your PC as there might be some secure boot shennanigans going on. Consult DuckDuckGo about your specific Computer, someone already figured it out if there is a hiccup. If you were able to pull up your USB up the boot order, exit the BIOS and hopefully things should be happening. To confirm look at the screen and if it does something new (and potentially scary looking) instead of the normal windows boot sequence, it is probably doing good. After a while you should be spat back out into a "Live Enviroment" version of your OS. This version of the OS exists only for this boot, and is pulled from your USB stick. There should be an installer inside of that live enviroment version of your OS, after which it is mostly smooth sailing. Follow the Installer, but pay REAL GOOD ATTENTION to what it is sayin when it asks you where it wants to be installed, as it will create a partition somewhere on your PC. If you have a PC with an SSD that isn't being used by windows, I recommend giving it that as you'll just be able to give that entire drive to Linux without problem. If you don't have an extra SSD, you will have to cleave a chunk from the one drive you have from windows. You can just give it 50% of the drive if you want to be conservative and still retain the ability to go back to windows. But should you feel particularly pissed/want to make sure you have no escape back to windows without having to reinstall it via that second USB stick, then torch the damn thing. Once the Installer is done it will either ask you to reboot your PC or just do it itself. After which point if everything went right, you will complete your first boot of Linux and end up in the actual version of the OS you installed. If you made it there, congratulations, and welcome to Linux. You might want to update the first time you boot, but after that, feel free to poke around to see what you have installed. Get Acquainted with your new Desktop, use some of the artisanal software that is FOS, if you are feeling spicey, run some commands in the terminal (as long as you know what they do. please do not run sudo rm -rf / because you saw it on a funny linux meme, that will uninstall your entire OS.) I hope this Guide has been helpful ^w^.

Hey. Gonna gamble here. Can someone explain to me the pros and cons of Linux as a whole and tell me maybe -possibly- how one might go about getting something set up

[acevenoms]

A quick intro to HD physical media

Hey, since @pneumatic-tubes got me thinking about it again, I've been reviving my habit of collecting physical copies of media I like and I thought I'd share some good tools I've found for doing so. It should be said, collecting Blu-Rays is a bit expensive, your average BD movie is gonna cost $30-$40 new, 4K/UHD even more, box sets can cost up to a couple hundred. Even when I was collecting a ton, I really only bought movies and shows that I was absolutely going to watch multiple times. Still, I have them forever, in their original state, in full quality, with extras, and that's definitely worth something.

1.) blu-ray.com

This site is super useful for tracking your collection, getting news and updates on upcoming releases, understanding and finding the differences between releases, and even doing business with other collectors for rare or out of print releases. Create a free account, get the app on your phone, and keep your collection up to date!

2.) Shout! Factory

Shout! Factory is one of the biggest DVD/Blu-ray distributors outside of the major studios, they have hundreds of properties including anime, classic movies, cult horror, foreign films, and more. BestBuy actually carries a lot of their releases in store if you'd rather shop brick-and-mortar.

There are tons of boutique and more genre specific releasing companies still active so I won't list them all here, but if you explore on blu-ray.com, you're bound to find what you're looking for.

3.) RedBox

Even for new releases, getting the physical disk from a RedBox is typically cheaper than renting it on Amazon, Google, Apple, or where ever ($1.99 vs $3.99+). The selection is much more limited, but they do have more than new releases. RedBox carries the retail disks too, so you can watch extra features if you want.

4.) An actual blu-ray player

This one is a bit obvious, for sure, but in case anyone's wants some basic advice on buying one: Sony or LG are your best bet. Sony wrote the blu-ray spec so they're obviously invested in keeping the format alive. A good (4k/uhd) player is still expensive, but many of them double as a streaming player. My Sony UBP-X700M has Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu apps on it. In my desktop PC, I have an LG blu-ray drive (BH16NS40 Blu-ray Disc Rewriter) which is what enables me to do the cool shit in the next item on this list.

I've never explored external BD drives like you'd use for a laptop, hopefully someone who sees this post can give a good suggestion.

5.) MakeMKV

Honestly, this is the real special sauce on this list. Playing Blu-Rays on your PC is a huge pain in the ass. BDROM's DRM schema is absolutely insane, but it's not impenetrable, this is where MakeMKV comes in. MakeMKV is a tool for making legal, authorized back ups of blu-ray disks that you own, regardless of their encryption (obviously you would never make a copy of a disk you got from a RedBox). MakeMKV is currently in "beta" because they have not paid the license fee to legally read blu-rays, but anyone can use it, fully featured while it's in "beta", you just have to refresh the product key once a month. Personally I bought a license because the software is solid as a rock, built for windows and linux, and has been indispensable for blu-ray collecting.

6.) FFMpeg/Handbrake

I'm gonna plug this even tho it's only really applicable to digital copies of movies because I really think more people need to understand how to manipulate media files. The MKV (Matroska Video files) that MakeMKV exports are huge, blu-ray disks are effectively uncompressed video, and MakeMKV doesn't decide to compress them for you. After a while, you're not gonna want to have every movie taking up 30, 40, or even 60+ GB on your PC, so you're going to have to compress/re-encode them. An actual guide on how to encode video properly is outside the scope of this post, but both FFMpeg (command-line, multi-platform, handles anything) and Handbrake (GUI, windows-only, much more user friendly, less features but more focused) are very easy to find guides for.

Well that's about it. Video collecting is a fun hobby and a great way to preserve media you love. Hopefully, as more people get into it, studios will expand their offerings and we can avoid this stupid bullshit that HBO Discovery has put people thru losing access to shit they've already paid for just because some fuck-ass exec decided to pad the bottom line. Take real ownership of your media with these tools and happy collecting!

[wyrm-town]

Here are my guesses:

Mori 🌿🐇 - rabbit lover

Dr. Two-brains 🧀🐁 - mouse lover

Marina 💜🌑 - based on that recent reblog, moon goddess?? (Not really a guess tho, since it was outright stated)

Pheo 🌺🔥 - she either really likes flowers or really hates them

Olli 🦊🧡 - Fox lover

Becky ⭐️📕 - a reader

Amanda 🥩📼 - these items could not be less related (exaggeration). I don’t even have a guess

Linux 🔌💿 - having the same name as an OS and with those emojis, he def likes technology a lot. Possibly a fellow programmer?

Victoria 🏆🏅 - strongly prefers to win (maybe a sore loser? <-probably not but I want at least some of these to have more detail)

Shellington 🐚🔬 - marine biology. Likes collecting seashells on trips to the beach

Kwazii 🌊🏴‍☠️ - a pirate

Silly 🎪🎠 - either makes a lot of jokes or is generally less serious

Cap’n 💫🪐 - likes to gaze at the stars at planets

/lh

I had another question but I forgot

Mori 🌿🐇 - Yeah! I love rabbits, hares, and kinda just nature in general. I felt like those emojis kinda fit my vibe.

Dr. Two-Brains 🧀🐁 - He doesn’t just love mice, he IS a mouse. Kinda. See, he’s called Dr. Two-Brains because he has two brains. A human brain and a mouse brain. He also loves cheese so much. Too much. It’s his defining character trait.

Marina 💜🌑 - Yep, that’s pretty much it. She’s a moon goddess. Also her favorite color is purple.

Pheo 🌺🔥 - Tbh the flower is just kinda there for aesthetic reasons. It looked pretty so Pheo liked it, and that’s about it. The fire is there because sie’s a whole ass phoenix.

Olli 🦊🧡 - Yeah, his favorite animal is foxes, and it’s favorite color is orange.

Becky ⭐️📕 - She loves not just reading, but words and language in general. Also her design features lots of red and yellow stars, so that’s why the star is there.

Amanda 🥩📼 - Lol, these emojis are based pretty heavily on her source. The game is in an analog horror style, so that’s what the VHS is for. There’s also a bit of a meat, gore, and rotting motif throughout the game.

Linux 🔌💿 - He is actually just a silly little computer boy. He’s just a little robot friend. A little TV headed fella. We collectively know very little about tech and programming, unfortunately.

Victoria 🏆🏅- You’re actually so right! Literally her whole character is that she’s obsessed with being the best at everything, and she refuses to lose at anything. Very much a sore loser (although we’re teaching her to be more open to messing up and all that) and loves winning everything.

Shellington 🐚🔬- Yep yep! He’s super into marine biology, and loves all things ocean related.

Kwazii 🌊🏴‍☠️- Yeah, he’s a pirate and also loves the ocean.

Silly 🎪🎠- Silly is a clown who is obviously super into clowncore and all that stuff! Sh3 also loves things like amusement parks as well.

Cap’n 💫🪐 - They are actually an introject of a character who was a spaceship captain! He does love learning about and space and stargazing.

[killerzys]

So so like remember this??? I have some info on Code red I am planning on do the some for the other worms/viruses prepare for a lot of yapping

If you don't understand/know the meaning of some words go to the bottom for definitions

So the worm ONLY attacked severs that hosted websites Vary rare for personal computers would be infected but the case show that the personal computers that was all had either run windows NT or windows 2000 whiched had micro iis enabled

It had three main goals First the worm would hijack and Force a website of the victim host to see / read

"Welcome to http/www.worm.com Hacked by Chinese"

Was accomplished w/out touching any web pages on the server hard drive, instead infection files that was in system memory which was used to to run iis also known as dll files

would remain as long as the host was infected

Its second goal it would replicate itself n spread as much as possible

By randomly generating 99 IP addresses in attachment to find near by vulnerable hosts to affect

Many web sites that were the Apache web server host on linux, record of the worm attacking the Server but was not successful This would happen to the first of March 19th

And The worms last goal

The worm launched a distribution denial of service attack against the IP address that belonged to the whitehouse.gov this would happen between the 20th and 27th of March, discoverd that attacking the IP address instead of the domain name would be bit of an oversight by the developer of the wormThe web server was just giving a new IP address And this would repeat the cycle every month, being the 29th, 30th and 31st the worm would be a sleep

Also how did Code red..get its name? Well..Some stupid security researcherz at EIU (a cypher security ) was just sipping on some MTN DEW

THE DRINK THEY WAS DRINKING AT THE name the worm Code red she got her name After a MTN DEW drink called code red

Meaning of some words

IIS - Internet Information Services, a web server that runs on Windows operating systems. IIS is used to exchange web content with users over the internet.

DLL - Dynamic Link Library, which is a file that contains code and data that can be used by multiple programs. DLLs are used in operating systems like Microsoft Windows and OS/2.

Apache - Apache is a suite of open-source software, including a web server, programming language, and file-sharing tool. Apache is used to create and run websites.

Linux - Linux is an open-source operating system that runs on many devices, including computers, smartphones, and supercomputers

Domain name - domain name is a unique name that identifies a website, email service, or other resource on the internet.

Now get on my intro like for her character I am planning on redesign her soon so yay

Her correct design

But anyway my lore for her

Code red info

- She doesn't like the way she looks like so she always changing her appearance not all the way tho. Ext. Adding extra body parts/limbs, like another head, arms, hand and eyes the list goes on. she never change her appearance completely, she will change her 'skin' to have patterns either it been code, bone or different shapes. She like having some type of animal or insect appearance that being fox ears, or a cat tail to insect legs or antennas. The one thing she will never ever change is her hair, and her eye color, she does make her pupil change.

- She is lesbian and goes by she/they and is one of  Lovebugs lovers..she a bit overprotective especially when it comes to lovebug.

- Red don't really talk to the other viruses, mainly infector, Love bug and Idoit (she see Idoit as a Little brother)

Relationships

Infector: They are somewhat best friends they don't really have a good relationship with every other but they do get along

Idoit: Sibling coded they like messing with the others a lot..she worrys for his health (even if they don't have health problems like human, she just doesn't want him to glitch out of existence, seen it happen before since she is one of the older viruses)

lovebug: One of the first virus she knew. And HAS a major crush on her/is dating her Code is vary unsure.. about there relationship. Code would do anything for Lovebug

Wannacry: Vary neutral? Don't like him, but don't mind talking to him either

Not back but made some viruses for something my friend is making

Code red, Fail infector and you are an idiot

[flockofdoves]

i need this to be the summer i actually set up using grocy and make the executive functions involved in grocery lists and finding out what to cook soooo much easier

but its still just slightly too over my head for me to figure out. id probably be fine if i had a windows laptop and bought a usb scanner and just did everything on my laptop since it has the windows desktop application

but my laptop has very limited space remaining and its a mac so i dont want to dual boot it. i guess i could look into a virtual machine just for using grocy??

but also regardless it might be nicer (and helpful for other stuff too) to self-host grocy

then i could scan from my phone and have it go to both my laptop (mac mojave) and my desktop (windows 10 but also planning on dual booting with some sort of linux soon)

but im just not sure at all how to self host it/best practices even if i did figure that out. i cant even figure out docker which so many people say makes it easier

i also have a shitty old screenless mac laptop i can connect with hdmi to a screen if needed and install w/e operating system on that maybe i could use to host stuff?? no idea if thatd be convenient or needed tho??

tech mutuals help :(

[femenaces]

You could look into openoffice/libreoffice as a software to make stickers. It is free, can be used offline and has similar functions to word, and all the other programms. The ui is kinda ugly/not very intuitive.

Is open source, you can use it on linux, is discontinued but still available.

It has different programs also similar to paint, powerpoint, excel.

Idk tho how well it could be used to make and edit photos

Thank you for the recommendation! Personally I usually use a combo of clip studio + various vector softwares to make my stickers, but for anyone looking to start making feminist graphics, here's something to try :D

If anyone is looking for a more traditional alternative to photoshop, GIMP is free and very powerful (although the UI is... cluttered is an understatement lol). I'd also recommend watching for sales on Clip studio (sometimes it goes down to like $25, which is nuts), I've been using it for 10 years and it's the best all-around illustration/editing program I've used, it even supports 3D models, comic making, and animation.

[chamiryokuroi]

im still a few years from uni but i wanna get into comp sci. do i need to know at least one language before going in or is it okay to go in blind?

I went into it blind and look at me!

Ok no but for real I dont think it is necessary, but if you still have the time and want to I would suggest start reading about Object oriented programming, Java and Database administration, this is what most likely they will start you off at school with, and having at least some basic understanding of how it works will help you greatly.

Remember that they wont teach you everything at school, there is a lot you will have to research on your own, but if you want to get an idea this is more or less what I was taught while I was in college (or what I remember at least).

Object oriented programming

Java

SQL databases

Cisco networking

Linux

UML

Waterfall methodology (this should be obsolet tho because everyone works on AGILE now, so I would suggest reading about that instead)

JavaScript (even tho it says Java it has nothing to do with Java)

But like I said at first, you don’t really need to know any of this to go into it, just remember to try your best!

[twinhood-2dot0]

Random stuff

Good afternoon Alex, and today I’m feeling lazy and I have no topic soooo here goes :P

Potato gaming

As you know, I have a 6 year old potato of a computer with performance worse than integrated graphics nowadays (i5-8250U, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 500GB HDD, NVIDIA 940MX). Also, for fun, I checked how it compares to the best GPU right now. The RTX 4090 has 16384 CUDA cores and the 940MX 384, so that’s like 42.667 times the cores. Enough numbers, into gaming. So, I use Linux, specifically Pop!_OS, you don’t want me to get into it, but it’s a better in every way to Windows (I will provide a few fields tho :P)

As Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel once said, 

“A computer is like air conditioning – it becomes useless when you open Windows.”

Allow me to flex my desktop

I haven’t even customized it fully yet. Windows is much more restricted when it comes to customization, and I'm a customisation freak.

Okay, right, gaming. As a Linux user I obviously prefer open-source software, so for most games I use the awesome Heroic Games Launcher for games I own on Epic Store (sidenote: I would never buy from Epic Games, they are a crappy company and do not support Linux, even for games like Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, which has a linux native port for god’s sake, but they do offer free games every week and I am broke so :P). I discovered however, that SOTTR would not run on Linux because of DRM (Digital Rights Management, a software thing that stops you from doing anything the service provider does not approve of, a la linux gaming without the use of the epic store :P). So, I decided to switch to Windows and try it there. So, first thing I did, download NVIDIA drivers for the GPU. Big mistake, you can’t install drivers without an NVIDIA account which is like so dumb, I JUST NEED MY GPU TO RUN YOU DRICKIGN AJFD. sorry, I hate nvidia. Okay, next, install Epic Games Store, and the game itself.  I ran the game. I got an average 15 FPS, with a lot of stuttering with crappy graphics. This is coming from me, who plays games at 960x540 with FSR Sharpening at 1, I am very generous to graphics, but look at this

Bleugh. Then, I installed Epic Games on Linux using Wine, instead of using Heroic, and the results were shocking. The game ran at 33 AVERAGE FPS. Rich gamers will look at this and go “33 fps? Makes me puke, why is this girl so excited about that” and they’re right, 33 is low, but I am running on a potato. And also, I started playing the game with V-sync set to half refresh rate so it was locked to 30 fps, it barely ever dropped below that, and the visuals looked like this.

Sure, it didn’t look the best, but it is waaaaaay better than how it looked on Windows, and at a better framerate!

For reference this is how it looks with ray traced lighting.

And here's how it looks on my laptop:

I could even play at Medium settings at a higher resolution. I don’t know how a Windows version of a game ran better on Linux, but that is how it performed on my laptop.

I also played Control, another 2019 game at 60 fps at low settings, 540p render, upscaled to 4k, yes, 4k. Although, the game is set is a much smaller are and has much less to render, so it’s apples to oranges.

Control

I know the post is getting extremely long but I just need to talk about Control. Control is a game made by Remedy Entertainment in 2019 as part of their Remedy Connected Universe. They're known for the critically acclaimed Max Payne series, Alan Wake, the first game in the Universe and Quantum Break. From this we see that Remedy is pretty much known for exceptional games with interesting topics. So, Control. Control follows the story of Jesse, a girl from a town called Ordinary searching for her brother. The game is set in the Oldest House, the headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Control. The atmosphere is awesome, really fun gameplay, the game hands you supernatural powers which are really fun to play around with, and the game has the best destruction physics ever seen in video games. The story and the characters are really captivating and even the characters you don't really directly interact with turn out to be a fan favorite. The game is inspired by the SCP Foundation, a fictional secret organization dealing with the paranatural. If you like SCP stuff, you'll love this. The soundtrack, while almost non-existent, has it's moments, especially in one of the best levels in video game history, the Ashtray Maze (i'm not the best person to comment on that, since I've not played many PC games, but I did play the Arkham series soooooo). And the graphics, god it looks phenomenal even on lowest setting and upscaled from 960x540

My music listening habits

As you may know, I have this habit of switching favorite artists every so often, so I tried to find my favourite artists for each week since I got a spotify account. Here's a pastebin if you're interested:

You can see the exact point where I became obsessed with Avicii. Also I was not aware that I was into DC Comics in 2019???

American Pie

In 1971, Don McLean released a song called “American Pie”. 52 years later it inspired me to write this small segment of this post. This song lyrics are so complex, there’s a whole website dedicated to the meaning of the song. https://web.archive.org/web/20200118091340/http://understandingamericanpie.com/vs1.htm

McLean has also famously said "It means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to." and "You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me… Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence." which is like, you know that meme,

> Drops banger

> refuses to elaborate further

> leaves

Although he did auction of his notes so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (also sidenote to brag about Linux, there’s this feature called the Compose Key, so I can press Alt and two corresponding characters and get any symbol or letters from other languages, like ß, å, č ø or ©, ™, ¯ or even type unicode so I can get ツ in 5 keystrokes okay sorry I go off on tangents sometimes, forgive me.)

There’s also an awesome Weird Al parody of it that you can’t watch because you haven’t watched Star Wars >:(

McLean himself praised the parody, even admitting to almost singing Yankovic's lyrics during his own live performances because his children played the song so often.

I love stuff like this, with a lot of hidden and complex stuff. The first ten minutes of the Pixar movie Up is so important it has its own Wikipedia page. Like, how wild is that. The iconic music in that scene, “Married Life”, is scored by Michael Giacchino, whom you may know I adore for The Batman, Spider-man’s MCU Trilogy, Jurassic World, Coco, okay I’ll stop right there, but he’s scored a lot of awesome movies. He is even in the Top 10 most listened artist for the past 6 months, so that’s an achievement, considering how many artists I listen to.

Okay that’s it, I thought I’d need more but hey. Okay, cya!

This means you can install Notepad++ on Ubuntu from the Software Center. It’s not the best way, but it’s definitely a convenient method for using Notepad++ on Linux.��ll Ubuntu versions have Snap enabled by default. So basically, you’re running Notepad++ through Wine, but without setting up Wine first. The Notepad++ snap package uses an embedded version of Wine that helps it run on Linux. How to install the real Notepad++ on Linux Though this Notepad++ Linux application isn’t natively developed for the Linux platform and actually runs on Wine, it’s now a command (or click) away from you. The good news is that Notepad++ is now (unofficially) available as a Snap package for Linux users. This is why Linux users have had to settle for Notepad++ alternatives. The problem with Notepad++ is that it’s exclusive to the Windows platform and the developer has repeatedly refused to develop it for Linux. The uncluttered experience and additional features make it an ideal choice for source code editing.

[the-jellicle-duelist]

i would like to use this opportunity to complain about every OS designed for modern computers

windows 7 was peak windows. ever since windows 8 microsoft has been taking huge dumps on windows. windows 10/11 are basically the OS equivalent of Google knowing exactly where you are at all times. UNFORTUNATELY all of video games lives on there, and you have to use it. even tho aesthetically it sucks to be on windows, every time they update windows there are secretly just windows xp ass menus that operate in the background and if you dig hard enough in that shit sandwich you can finally figure out how to turn off that one audio device windows believes all of your audio should be piped thru.

mac is the Best OS for farting around on the computer, hands down. everything is exactly where you expect it to be. HOWEVER. “people” decided, culturally, that macs aren’t good enough for many kinds of apps (including many video games) and so whenever you use a mac you need to find The Thing That Works On Mac. this makes mac’s really inconvenient to use unless everyone else is on mac. this problem is SO MUCH BETTER than it was like 10 years ago you kids have no idea. (if you grew up on one of those clear plastic macs with the round ass mouse and you needed to bring a word document to school you know true pain)

the solution to everyone’s problems should be linux BUT all those guys do is argue about which distro is the best one, and no one makes a good OS about it for regular people to use. you can’t just pop a thumb drive in there. oh did you remember to grab the distro specific update that lets you read windows thumb drives? oh you didn’t? fuck you i guess. you gotta get in the command line now. open up a terminal like hacker man. sudo apt-get update these nuts, you shit heads. AND YOU CAN’T EVEN AGREE ON THE COMMANDS YOU SHOULD USE. debian has different shit than ubuntu WHY IS IT LIKE THAT. valve almost made a linux you could use but just make one of them shits i don’t have to learn how to be hacker man to use for fuck’s sake

all the OS’s are bad

windows is a grift designed to get you to use bing by accident. every ui element is a will o the wisp trying to lure you into the bing bog

[bakersfield-row]

aw shit

Name? mju

Pronouns and gender? he/him (cis, for now...)

Sexuality? gray asexual panromantic

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? i dont really have fandoms so ill just list some things: (not in order) wes anderson stuff, haruki murakami stuff, don hertzfeldt stuff, stuff from the beatles, and whatever the community surrounding blahaj is all about.

What is your Most forbidden snack? anything from the chum bucket

Would you pet a bug? maybe...probably not...im sorry...

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. i was at a summer camp once at a college, and kids were kinda known for stealing and breaking things around the campus. one day, i was around the area when there was this kid who wanted to get a bottle of water, and the water fountain just fucking fell apart like a dead roblox character. water was still being squirted everywhere from the broken faucet and the kid looked so nervous, desperate to prove that he was innocent. i know its kinda horrible, but being like one of three people to see the whole ordeal happen was kinda funny.

What does the color blue taste like? a space themed chocolate cake

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? yosemite, bar none. i dont really go out into nature that much, which is a real shame imo. i still remember the awe i got from seeing those huge mountains, the blue skies complementing the greenest trees, the cleanest air around, with a tint of vapor from the nearby waterfalls. its a shame i dont have photos from when i went there, and its an even bigger shame that i split from the tour to get some pancakes (even tho they are still probably the best pancakes in the world). but still, i'd love to visit there again, with lake tahoe being a far yet also beautiful second.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? doing a drama play and farting on stage. i mean, can you really blame me? everything about scheduling was messed up and i had to do it in my pe clothes. the good thing is that no one remembers that ordeal and i still got an award of excellence for my performance.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? yesterday, my mom pronounced Maserati "mass-ah-rail." i could say a lot of other things about her but we'll just cut it there.

Hyperfixation song? currently sometimes by mbv.

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? not really. the name "bakersfield" has been stuck in my head for as long as i could remember, even though i dont live anywhere near a bakersfield, so i just thought why not. as for baba, idk, looks kinda cute.

Dream career as a child? astronaut, pilot, or something that has to do with trains.

Dream career as an adult? photographer. i know its kinda financially unfeasible at the moment and i havent practiced in a long time, but its just as relaxing as writing with somewhat less efort.

Thoughts on cilantro? its alright.

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? i dont think so, and if i was i either dont remember or i was never told.

What is your cursed food combination? broccoli dipped in teriyaki sauce.

Trans rights? i dunno, usually trans people are left (yes trans rights, human rights shouldnt be politics)

if you already did this, im sorry.

@terrence-theshark14 @ozi-uwu @breezingwing @window-to-the-void @keenkryptonitenut @aubeebuzzbuzz @twinkenjoyer @aaskaaska @trans-linux-user @thanook

“I just came from r/196” ask game

Saw another post. I think I should invite y'all to one of our longstanding traditions. Answer the questions then tag 10 (or more) people. I'll go first.

Name? Frankie

Pronouns and gender? he/they/it, transmasc

Sexuality? Lesbian

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? Bungou Stray Dogs, Cosmere, All for the Game, Fundiesnark (not a series but I'm too deep in it to not consider it a fandom), .....the tornado fandom? (they're my special interest)

What is your Most forbidden snack? The preserved bones at the Atlanta Bodies Exhibition. They looked so crunchy...

Would you pet a bug? If it's big enough, it is pettable.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. I like to drive around rural areas and photograph old, sometimes abandoned locations in the dead of night. I have been literally chased out of towns by foot and by car on two separate occasions. The second time this happened, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus came up on shuffle and that's the soundtrack my friend and I tore out of town to. Also every "guy" I've dated except for my most recent ex (who has big egg energy) is a lesbian now.

What does the color blue taste like? Creme brulee

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The appalachian mountains of Tennessee in the middle of summer. There's kudzu everywhere. On the backroads, there were several old, dilapidated Baptist churches barely hanging to the side of the mountain. I wonder how many of them were still in use.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? My ex thought that Jackalopes were real. Also, a nurse I was doing rotations with apparently thought that "Witness Protection" was for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hyperfixation song? Young Enough + Bleach by Charly Bliss

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? Profile pic; I'm transmasc and I'm currently obsessed with TriStamp. Username; It was my fake internet name when I was like 13. I won't change it because I want my mutuals to recognize me, and because I do have a viral post associated with this name.

Dream career as a child? Doctor (funnily enough I'm now in nursing school)

Dream career as an adult? Professional Jester. Not a comedian. I just want to be some weird little guy who dresses silly and you can hire me to roast your boss at work parties.

Thoughts on cilantro? Delicious

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? I honestly can't remember? Probably... but in recent memory I've mainly banned people from places.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple on a hotdog with grilled onions. It Slaps.

Trans rights? TRANS RIGHTS

Tagging: @rocket-mankoi @mostlymarco @atleast8courics @jazzlike39 @gemsweater72 @limbobilbo @ameliaaltare @redcrane112 @theoneofwhomisblue @twinkenjoyer @theultimatecarp and anyone else who wants to jump on

Building A Rig Headache

The last time I touched PC Building community and informations was 2 years ago at the release of AMD Ryzen gen 1. It was a huge uproar in the Hardware enthusiast. I bought one 1700X to replace my old with broken pin FX CPU. Thing is, the hardware I used are the “non-mature” one since the processor is just born. I don’t mind tho, at the time I definitely NEED the CPU to be changed ASAP for the broken pin blocked me from using internet on Linux.

After that, I followed a bit of GTX 10′s generation, but not buying it. And soon I lost in work and forgot anything about PC building. Well, I don’t even game much these days. 

However, seeing that my “naked” and somewhat mixing old PC is being used a lot, I started to think that I need to upgrade some of this old rig’s part. Therefore I opened the door to the world I’ve been left a long time ago.

Damn, I AM an ancient.

Ryzen is about to release its’ gen 3, including its’ VGA. RTX has 2060, and GTX 1660 and others. My RAM is discontinued (dammit, just when I want to add new of it). etc.. etc..

With these many hardware and technology update, it is hard not to be tempted to get “full upgrade” of the system. My old system was 3 yo, my current system is 3 yo. Good reason to update, considering the age.

But hey, money talks.

Whenever money involved, it is a hard talk.

I have a lot of option, and my options are built around “what case are you want to use”. Since that means that I will try to satisfy the case requirements. You cannot use ATX mobo on ITX case, can you? 

Alas, it is hard to choose the best case in term of economic and aesthetic.

Building A Rig was not this hard for me, it is real hard now that I had the knowledge of hardware, and the need, and also

THE GREED.

We tend to conjointly offer workshops for hands on expertise to students that facilitate them in sensible knowledge. Every Student is given full attention in order that they could mention new concepts and build the blocks of future. Why Login for Selenium? Selenium Training In Chennai is made so much easier in Login For Excellence by Faculties with Extensive Training Experience and Selenium training and testing for absolute beginners with all the attention which the Newbie’s require. Selenium: Selenium may be a transportable framework for testing internet applications. Selenium provides a playback (formerly additionally recording) tool for authoring purposeful take a look at is while not the necessity to find out a test scripting language (Selenium IDE). It additionally provides a take a look at domain-specific language (Selenese) to write down tests in an exceedingly range of in style programming languages, together with C#, Groovy, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala. The tests will then run against newest internet browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. It is ASCII text file software package, free underneath the Apache a pair of.0 license: internet developers will transfer and use it for free of charge. Name Derivation: The word selenium is derived from a funny barter comedy made by Mr. William Huggins. He had sent an email, mocking as a contestant named Mercury, voice communication that you just will cure intoxication of Mercury poisoning by taking Se supplements. The People who received the email thought "SELENIUM" as the name and ran with it. History: The story starts in 2004 at ThoughtWorks in Chicago, with Jason Huggins building the Core mode as "JavaScriptTestRunner" for the testing of an internal Time and Expenses application (Python, Plone). Automatic testing of any applications is core to ThoughtWork's vogue, given the Agile leanings of this consultancy. He has facilitates from Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang. For them, this was a day job. Jason started demoing the check tool to numerous colleagues. several were excited regarding its immediate and intuitive visual feedback, also as its potential to grow as a reusable testing framework for different internet applications. ThoughtWorkers in numerous offices round the world picked up Se for industrial comes, and contributed back to Se from the teachings learned on these comes. Mike Williams, Darrell Deboer, and Darren Cotterill all helped with the increasing the capabilities and the robustness of it. Components: Selenium consists of many elements with every usurping a selected role in aiding the event of internet application check automation. ⦁ Selenium IDE ⦁ Selenium client API ⦁ Selenium WebDriver ⦁ Selenium Remote Control ⦁ Selenium Grid Selenium IDE: Selenium IDE may be a complete integrated development atmosphere (IDE) for chemical element tests. it's enforced as a Firefox Add-On and as a Chrome Extension. It and permits for recording, editing, and debugging of practical tests. it absolutely was antecedently called chemical element Recorder. selenium-IDE was originally created by Shinya Kasatani and given to the Selenium project in 2006. Selenium IDE was antecedently little-maintained.[4] chemical element IDE began being actively maintained in 2018. Scripts could also be mechanically recorded and emended manually providing autocompletion support and also the ability to maneuver commands around quickly. Scripts ar recorded in Selenese, a special take a look at scripting language for Se. Selenese provides commands for acting actions during a browser (click a link, choose associate degree option), and for retrieving knowledge from the ensuing pages. Advantages: ⦁ Selenium may be a suite of tools that helps in automating solely internet applications. You must have a basic understanding of Java or the other object-oriented Programming language for victimization Selenium .It has capabilities to control across completely different browsers and in operation systems. ⦁ Selenium IDE -a Firefox plug in that lets testers to record their actions as they follow the progress that they have to check. ⦁ Selenium RC-was the flagship testing framework that allowed over easy browser actions and linear execution. It makes use of the complete power of programming languages like Java, C#, PHP, Python, Ruby and PERL to make a lot of advanced tests. ⦁  Selenium Web Driver-is the successor to element RC that sends commands on to the browser and retrieves results. ⦁ Selenium Grid-is a tool wont to run parallel tests across {different totally completely different completely different} machines and different browsers at the same time which ends up in decreased execution time. WEBDRIVER is Available For: ⦁ chrome ⦁ Firefox ⦁ IE ⦁ opera ⦁ edge ⦁ safari # # We can even use languages: ⦁ C++ ⦁ Python ⦁ Ruby ⦁ Java ⦁ Javascript Test Automation for Web Applications: Many, maybe most, code applications nowadays area unit written as web-based applications to be run in an online browser. The effectiveness of testing these applications varies wide among corporations and organizations. In associate era of extremely interactive and responsive code processes wherever several organizations area unit exploitation some type of Agile methodology, check automation is often changing into a demand for code comes. check automation is commonly the solution. check automation means that employing a code tool to run repeatable tests against the applying to be tested. For regression testing this provides that responsiveness. There are several benefits to check automation. Most are associated with the repeat ability of the tests and also the speed at that the tests are often dead. There are variety of economic and open supply tools out there for helping with the event of check automation. antioxidant is presumably the foremost widely-used open supply answer. This user’s guide can assist each new and practiced antioxidant users in learning effective techniques in building check automation for net applications. Test automation has specific benefits for up the long-run potency of a software package team’s testing processes. Test automation supports: ⦁ Frequent regression testing ⦁ Rapid feedback to developers ⦁ Virtually unlimited iterations of test case execution ⦁ Support for Agile and extreme development methodologies ⦁ Disciplined documentation of test cases ⦁ Customized defect reporting ⦁ Finding defects missed by manual testing Mobile Testing Support: With selenium, you'll conjointly take a look at native, hybrid, or net mobile apps, tho' you’ll would like further package. There square measure two main choices – Appium and Selendroid. they're each supported element in order that developers already versed in it will apply identical principles once testing mobile apps. Both tools ar open supply and have nice community support. the most distinction is that Appium supports iOS, Android, and Windows devices, whereas Selendroid targeted completely on android. Selendroid conjointly bundles with Appium in order that once you test for android versions 2.3 through 4.3, the program can mechanically switch to Selendroid. It may appear that mistreatment Appium may be a a lot of logical selection because it doesn’t limit you to at least one OS. However, it makes a lot of sense to simply use Selendroid if you’re going to testandroid completely. It additionally incorporates a few not bad options like “hot plugging” – you'llconnect devices and disconnect them while not interrupting the tests, increasing the amount of emulators or hardware devices that may be tested at an equivalent time. There square measure 2 a lot of niche tools you would possibly wish to understand concerning as well: ⦁ Robotium – a black-box testing framework for Android ⦁ ios-driver – a Selenium WebDriver API for iOS testing integrated with Selenium Grid Flexibility and Extensibility: You’ll notice that selenium is very versatile. There are some ways you'll be able to add practicality to each selenium take a look at scripts and Selenium’s framework to customise your take a look at automation. this is often maybe Selenium’s greatest strength in comparison with alternative automation tools. These customizations are represented in varied places throughout this document. additionally, since selenium is Open supply, the sourcecode will continually be downloaded and changed. Conclusion: Selenium isn't good however it’s simply ok for testers to place forth a bigger effort and ignore the codeless trend. It hits that sweet spot once you’re ready to pay a number of hours searching for an answer on-line rather than obtaining the assistance you procured. And it still contains a few aces up its sleeve that match right in with today’s engineering narrative: quicker delivery, returning in little sections to handle simply, receiving immediate feedback. Selenium could be a universal use case. It doesn’t overshadow all of the opposite check automation tools, particularly if you have got the allow them. However its monopolizing nature causes you to deliberate before you look the opposite method. Perhaps, it’s not that unhealthy.
