At least we did get another half life game (Alyx), I greatly enjoyed the first 4 core games (1, 2, ep1, ep2) and felt that Alyx fit nicely into the bunch though it was interesting that they ended it in such a way that it opens up more options for any future games.
As an aside while I know the market is definitely smaller for VR releases, if the next half life was a VR release again I would love that, i found the experience for Alyx to be stellar
Obligatory if you install HA on a raspberry Pi. Use the SSD option as you will wear out an SD card or usb key pretty quickly since those devices aren’t intended for constant writes from things like logging and generally don’t have any wear out leveling.
This is where I’m at. I played remake on my steam deck and I won’t buy a console to play it our any other exclusives.
I really appreciated that they started releasing games on PC too but waiting a couple years is annoying. I greatly enjoyed zero dawn, and am finally enjoying forbidden west but having to wait years was annoying (not enough to get a ps5 though, and if they choose to never release it on PC I would just never play it ever).
Right now I’m also waiting for Ragnarok since God of war was great. But again I’m not buying a ps5 so I’ll be waiting until it comes to PC if it does at all.
I played the whole game on Steam deck which was a pretty solid time
On Android I just started using kiwi browser a month or two ago it’s for android only but it’s chromium based and supports extensions which brings ublock and others to mobile.

I don’t know how slow the old one was, but if I send myself an SMS using the bridge it completes a round trip to the Telco and back in about 1 second
Have you tried the new SMS bridge that relies on gmessages?
https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages
If you have an Android phone you can use the Google SMS app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
Then you pair the app and bridge. It’s been pretty reliable since I started using this bridge, especially when compared to the previous bridge options.
Is there a reason you couldn’t use either use a self hosted or the public hosted copy of element or an Android/iOS app and connect it directly to the beeper synapse/dendrite server?
Their clients are just closed forks of element anyways.
To be fair, the client they provide to make bridging more accessible is proprietary, however you can fire up a fresh copy of element and connect it if you want and just use the text interface.
The clients are closed so that they have something to sell and profit. Not everyone can afford to give their time away for free.
I have my own matrix server that I primarily use like beeper and bridge all my chats together. Even using some of their bridges, it’s been pretty reliable for years.
I know that a few people are hating on the closed source client, but that feels unfair to me. They provide lots of open code in the form of bridges which is really the meat of the offering. Their client just makes using the bridges easier for the lay person. The bridges are super easy to use without it, invite the bridge bot to a chat room, type login and do what it says, then type login-matrix and your pretty much done.
The I suspect that the same people who are displeased about the closed client also like using tailscale which is generally pretty popular but has closed source clients on Windows and Mac as well as the server (though all support the open source headscale server)
I also put in a 2tb ssd and have zero complaints, I clonezillad the OEM drive and it worked instantly. Got it from AliExpress for 175cad and delivery was a week
I have a FreePBX virtual machine hosted at home. I use VoIP.ms which covers most North American numbers and many numbers abroad. I use it to provide phone service to my parents house and cottage and my house and cottage. I put in about $40 a year to cover all these places with their own DID number.
Might I suggest Fast Reverse Proxy ( https://github.com/fatedier/frp )
It’s a great solution if you don’t have a public IP or can’t/don’t want to open any ports.
I found it super easy to setup and configure. I put caddy in front of the server side for mine to ssl offload there. But you could also route everything down the tunnel it makes and use a local reverse proxy to handle SSL offloading
I had to check over my shoulder since this seems so accurate.
But the simple point remains that I don’t really need to buy any more games since valve has been abusing my wallet for years and my steam library is 600 games.
I also use .lan I used to use .local for years until I started to have conflict issues with .local resolution on Android when they started using mdns
I did this exactly, I went through like half then realized that you learn new abilities by equipping weapons and using their ability 10 times.
FF remake is one I have recently finished and it was excellent though as others have said it’s only half of the original.
Control is excellent
Hades is one of the first games I played on my deck, I put around 50 hours into it.
Shadow of Mordor and shadow of war were both tremendous fun and have lots of offer for the nemesis system.
A plauge tale innocence was fun I picked up the second one but haven’t had a chance to start it and I want to get into the story like the first.
Horizon zero dawn really sucked me into the story and I found it hard to put down, often I would stay up much later than is reasonable after putting the kids down.
God of war 2018 was also great and I enjoyed playing it very much. It made me setup emudeck and play gow1 and 2.
Tomb Raider and it’s sequels were fun though I didn’t play those on the deck.
Sonarr and Radarr need to have the directories be the same as your torrent client and newsreader.
Sonarr/Radarr read the. Directory that the API reports as the save destination and moves it from there
I agree with this, though I think a lot of people don’t differentiate between operating system containers like LXC provides and application containers like docker provides.
