Blacklist of what? I don't understand what a blacklist would be used for in this context. Specific unsupported hardware?

Having had consulting jobs working with Windows servers around 2015, this was ruined for me. Sooo many ancient out of support 2003 severs. Seeing it actually triggers some light anxiety ("oh no not another one!")

Do you know how M2 support compares to M1? Trying to figure out if M1 is the better choice for a used macbook to run Asahi on.

Who

These dudes and dudettes playing video games

what?

Military service

This is marketing. So probably suspected. Or somewhere in between.

That one doesn't seem to do bluetooth at all, I think?

ATM machine

Can we not allow them to continue letting you buy games (outside the launcher) and not shut up?

Thanks! I have not put much effort into mouse settings.

Thanks for sharing

The Quakes! Quake Live and Quake Champions mainly.

As a competitive old school arena FPS guy, I have also had a very hard time getting the same smoothness and low latency (input, output, whatever it is) on Linux. The games I play are very fast and twitchy, and milliseconds matter.

There seems to be too many layers and variables to ever get to the bottom of it. Is it the distro itself? Is it a Wayland vs. X11 thing? Is it the driver? The Proton version? Some G-SYNC thing? Some specific tweak that games based on this game engine needs?

It's a complete dealbreaker for competitive play

Very true, and this is the biggest issue for me when it comes to gaming on Linux. And it's not just raw FPS count. You can usually brute force your way around that with better hardware. (I'm guessing you could probably get a locked 60 in Street Fighter 6 even with a 30% performance loss?). It's things like input lag and stutter, which in my experience is almost impossible to resolve.

If it weren't for competitive shooters, I could probably go all Linux. But for now I still need to switch over to Windows for that.

Are there games running at 4k 120hz?

Speaking of exaggerations, there is some hilarious marketing language on those pages. A couple of examples:

It captures both the weight of a collapsing mountain and the whisper of tectonic tension with equal ease.

THE100 SUB PRO PASSIVE doesn’t just play low frequencies — it summons them from the earth itself.

Right. Clients (web browsers) would have to stop using it too for it to work I guess.

Your second example would also be prevented by just not serving on port 80 as the parent comment suggests, no?

Kubuntu is nice. Not sure why it's not more popular. Or maybe it's just a quieter user base?

Ok thanks. That sounds reasonable.

... and therefore you can unredact them

from that readme is just not true then I guess?

I was thinking I understand what's going on but then I came to the image showing the diff and I don't understand at all how that diff can unredact anything.

I agree. It would have been tempting to send someone who doesn't listen to Dylan at all, but what a waste that would have been. This guy deserved it.

I'm not the person you are replying to, but like all of technology, you just find the latest (or most public) change made, and then fire your blame-cannon at it.

Excel crashed? Must be that new WiFi they installed!

$lang_header = $lang_header + $the_lang_choice_that_was_just_made

Hey look it's that invisible guy again!

Nothing is stopping you from doing this with Proxmox, right?

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the blog and/or comment, but if I don't need groceries, and can list 20+ reasons why I don't need groceries, I'm not going to get groceries anyway just because I like the grocery store very very much.

I wish I had that kind of money. Making a purchase solely for such reasons is completely out of the question for me. And for most people I'd assume?

There's a Steam app on my Samsung smart TV that I think can do this, with a USB-controller connected to a USB-port on the TV. Haven't tried it though.

But I think the best way to do it is to have a cheap PC (or maybe an Android TV device or something?) connected to your TV. You can stream games to it from your gaming PC in the other room: https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay

You'll probably see around 200ms. Not saying that's the relevant number in this discussion, but that's probably where the number comes from.

Good to know! Thanks.
