Yep

I never said anything about RAID5. I'm running RAID1.

BTRFS is running just fine for my 8 disk home server.

Open-source EVs are a bit like Gentoo, you have to build it yourself.

Well... If you want to earn A LOT of money before mainframes are entirely sunset, and are perfectly happy maintaining code that's older than yourself and only working for very rigid banks... Then COBOL isn't actually that bad of a choice...

If you like your sanity, you should probably tear clear, though.

Unfortunately true, but what a wonderful language it is.

Awesome to hear, and good luck with it!

I just want to mention that there is a lot of configuration options in Tree Style Tab, so if it doesn't behave exactly how you want it to, there's a high likelihood that you just need to tweak the settings a bit.

Fair, that is pretty awesome feature, especially for the tab sprawl in this day and age.

I (obviously) use Firefox, and I had the same problem, and found the "Tree Style Tab" extension solves the same problem for me, however it does it in a very different way.

Instead of having your tabs along the top of the window, your tabs are kept in a sidebar, and vertically. Opening new tabs from an already open page makes the new tabs nest under the original tab. You can collapse and expand whole trees of tabs, and move them around should you need to.

It also integrates nicely with the "Container Tabs" putting a colored band next to the tabs belonging to each container.

The tabs being vertical also means that you can always read the titles of the tabs, they don't get "squished".

It does cost a chunk of screen real estate, but for me the organization is worth it.

BTW: The extension doesn't itself hide the tabbar at the top of the window, but that can be hidden with a relatively easy modification to a file.

What is Firefox lacking for you to love it?

Because there's no such thing as private address spaces in IPv6.

If your ISP is IPv6 only, then you need to enable IPv6 for your local network too, which means that every device on your network gets an IPv6 address.

You can still have a private IPv4 as well, but if your remove the IPv6 support, then you lose access too the Internet.

Damn... That is very disappointing.

According to Karl, Billy must pay all the legal fees if he withdraws from the lawsuit. He must also pay the legal fees if he loses. Billy's only way out of paying would be to win the lawsuit.

So the longer Karl strings him along, the more the fees will mount.

And since Billy doesn't have a leg to stand on he can either withdraw now, pay a lot of money, and admit he lied. Or he can keep fighting mounting more fees in the slim nope of winning.

Wow... How did they argue that consent was still "freely given"? And also that it is "as easy" to give as it is to withdraw consent?

Relevant quotes:

Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

Yeah, lots of pages are trying to pull that stunt, which isn't legal according to the GDPR. Facebook and many news outlets are trying it too.

I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

The 15 years to dead battery figure you mention is wildly out of proportion.

Everything points to current batteries degrading less than 5% over 10 years... So even at 15 or 20 years there would still be plenty of battery health left.

Am software engineer, can confirm

Sure... Which is why Valve has built Proton, which makes nearly all PC games run on Linux... Sure, the developers of the games themselves should have made the Linux port, but for many developers it's cost prohibitive to support another platform with very few potential customers.

But the more players who run Linux (and Steam Deck by extension), the larger the incentive for developers to support Linux natively. And in turn more games will get made for Linux, which will draw in more people to switch to Linux.

So as long as my game runs, then I don't care whether it was the original developer, Valve or an open-source developer why wrote the code that made it work. And luckily I'm one of those people that don't mind having to tinker a bit to make things work (hence why I'm on Linux in the first place)

If we as gamers stubbornly refuse to switch to Linux until our games are natively ported, then developers might as well just develop their games for Windows, where the players are...

Even better if the IoT devices doesn't even connect to your WiFi or LAN... Zigbee devices for example.

And it actually is... Quote from the GDPR:

It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

You are absolutely correct, but it's a con for Epic too. Your comment makes it out to look like you don't own your games on Steam, but by omission you make it seem like you do own your games on Epic.

I just want to make it very clear that you don't own the games on either platform. But also want to mention that even if you buy a good old CD/DVD with the game on, then you still don't own the game...

It's absolutely awful that it's practically impossible to own a game, and it's even more awful that the platform can take away a game you paid for, let alone that they don't even have to refund you for it...
