The gameplay looks fine. It looks like a Doom game. But I won’t buy a game with DRM, so I won’t be buying it until that gets removed (at earliest).

Is the maximum 24 characters because their database column is a VARCHAR(24)? That’s one of the first questions that I thought of. Sure, it doesn’t guarantee plaintext, but it’s a indicator that it may be stored plaintext, considering hashing doesn’t care about length. Or at the very least whoever has had eyes on this code doesn’t know shit about security, which makes me less confident in the product as a whole.

The only reason I can think of to have a maximum would be to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles, and even then 24 characters is ridiculously stingy when the difference would be negligible.

I’ll limit this to devices in use.

• phone
• laptop for work and occasionally personal
• steam deck
• gaming desktop
• 4 bay Asus NAS
• 2 mini PCs (headless)
• 9 VPSes of varying size (I get them free via work)

Whoops! Didn’t notice that typo. I wouldn’t even dream of subjecting my steam deck to the same 900 mods as my PC.

I modded Cyberpunk 2078 and jumped straight to the NNM app, no issues. Running quite a few mods.

That kind of looks like the at a glance feature. Perhaps you have a timer setup on a Google Home device? Or had.

Usually when I suspect a hardware issue I start by unplugging every external device that isn’t the keyboard. If that does the trick, in they go again one by one. Otherwise, it’s time for hardware to get the same treatment. Unfortunately your processor doesn’t have on board graphics, so unless you have a donor system you can borrow a known working good GPU from, I’d probably try and reseat the GPU (remove, maybe canned air to blow out slot, back in).

This is exactly why I do the dishes after a good meal. I can’t relax with the thought of a sink full of dishes, they need to be handled!

Not me, but my parents, though I discovered it during a visit.

Bats. They had a bat infestation. This was up at the highest point of the house in the loft, they were remodeling and left the walls open - a hole to the outside let one in, and I guess a bunch decided it was a nice place to hang out. There were dozens.

As for dealing with it - bats are endangered, so you can’t exterminate them. If I remember correctly the total spend was just over 10 grand. This also included installing multiple permanent one way doors so if any bats manage to get in again, they have multiple ways to get out.

Is there another meaning to “PSA” that isn’t “public service announcement”? It confuses me being in the title as this entire post is written as a suggestion / CTA, not a PSA.

I haven’t played the game, but I would recommend checking out ProtonDB for experiences from people who have.

There are 406 reports, I find it useful to look for reports from people with similar hardware to mine.

I have used AirVPN for half a decade and never ran into any issues, if you’re looking for an alternative with port forwarding.

I work full time at a computer. I have two jobs, so I put in 68 hours a week (second is 28 hours a week, no overlap).

I have no issues with eye fatigue best I can tell, that or I’ve just gotten so used to it. I will note I do have the blue light filter on my glasses lenses my optician recommended.

Ditto. API thing was transition as well

MaM.

When I got into the space I had to find a private tracker, but since then I’ve had no issues with Readarr aside from some series being slow to get their metadata updated, but that’s not a Readarr issue.

I find no discouragement of strategy in the game. Higher numbers don’t always win, unless they’re sufficiently high enough. I can design a fleet with weapon and armor/shield focuses to counter theirs, as well as choosing the engagement style (via the combat computer modes in the ship designer) to counter theirs.

If I don’t want to strategize I can simply wait longer for a bigger fleet and newer tech, but if I want to take on enemies larger than me, especially early game, I have to take the time to strategize.

If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

Not sure if it qualifies, but might help with finding.

He got scammed again? Damn. Sorry, I was referring this one. And not really the details of the scam, but it was the wrong place / wrong time element that reminded me.

Edit: the article you linked is older, so I guess not “again”.
