Persona 5 is an amazing game. Played back on my ps4, later when trying game pass and I am sure I will play it probably more 2 or 3 times after I get it for PC. Still don't have it because no version on gog... Or no denuvo for that matter. Before anyone mentions: I am very aware that denuvo anti cheat and denuvo anti tamper are 2 very different things. However, single player games that need a "ping" in order to run? Fuck that nonsense

Nice to see these posts being made and adding more quality content around here. Keep it up!

As for what I am playing now: I decided to kick myself in the groin and get persona 3 reloaded, going against my principle of not getting anything with denuvo. Been having a lot of fun with it, but eventually, will get a version without this bloody nonsense and archive it.

... Did they check this place on a Wednesday?

Was busy almost 100% blasphemous 2

My signal app tries to update itself. Installed from obtanium. It is a very irritating process, the thing tries to update, there is sometimes weird response times from clicking it (you click the notification and simply do not know if something is happening) and then without notice the thing restarts and then usually it works. But sometimes, the update notification still comes back. Because of that, I just update via obtanium

Haven't watched anything anime related for ages... Never watched initial d. But its possible the nationalist thing is accurate (also: what's the deal of portrayals on the regular of Germans in their shows?). Regarding the whole over the top "violence" and other stuff, there is for sure a difference in cultures here. I find funny for instance on anime we have the mega villains and all that, but in contrast, if you leave a bike unattended in the middle of Tokyo there is a big chance you still see it next day. Of course there is the whole yakuza thing and scamming tourists, but I would argue criminality is just very different. As for why people lean into sometimes what we consider extreme content, maybe is just an exposure thing? When people are exposed to different realities they tend to be either more or less inclined to see depictions of it or complete opposites.

This is an interesting take. I've been to Japan as a tourist once, and I can tell it was probably one of my best trips I've ever made (the sheer amount of novelty and getting around the people was really cool), and I can attest the people were very nice to me. But I can also tell, if I was part of the work force, the sentiment would be different. I did never see signs against Chinese people anywhere BTW.

As for the "China bad" part. Check how people brigade on shitter to "cancel people out" (very definition of cancel culture) and you quickly see that some people LOVE the mob mentality. This is also what is going on people going after stuff such as dji for no reason (but I will say straight up, I am not sure if I would trust network equipment easily. Same for me actually applies to cisco as well)

Nice catch. I'll be sure after do run the real thing

Thanks, managed to have it installed locally bia pocket pal (termux was giving me errors constantly on compile). Out of curiosity, I made a very "interesting" prompt, and frankly I am not even surprised

EDIT: decided to be a little spicier, didn't fail to amuse me

My plan is to go there at least once a year, so that would work for me

From my experience in the past, ups are done to be constantly on, and as far as I know, usually they have failsafe mechanism in case something is not working as intended. Laptop batteries do not have such extensive protection from what I know. However, if an ups is getting old (around 5 years or so) is probably best to change the batteries (if the model allows it)

That is true, however there are 2 things

• battery of this machine is toast (holds up for half an hour or less)
• as someone mentioned in another comment: unattended laptops with batteries can be actually bad. Batteries on certain cases can leak and cause fires, so for me, if it can work without it great, otherwise I have to drop the idea

I actually have contingencies for this. There is a ups around that I can use. It is good advice for sure, specifically for countries with fluctuations on the electric grid

I am planning after installing Ubuntu server and get some setup done, to actually sit it out and understand how much the fan is going and how I expect this to be an issue. Since my backups are probably going to be once in a week or so, I do not expect the laptop to have a lot of work (for now is just for file backup, no other services in there except tailscale)

At a later stage I will have to design a strategy to access and make sure is OK. Probably I am going to stick to tail scale and make sure no matter what both tailscale and ssh always start. Sure there can be issues but if minimal services can be guaranteed then it should mostly ok

You are not wrong with the vps. Although I am quite worried that my data stays with me no matter what. Not that I have state secrets or anything, but my stuff is my stuff. And to avoid issues with encryption and such, your own device most of the times is king

For sure not :D. I will be installing something such as ubuntu server, so I do not expect this issue (I don't remember if the laptop has power saving via bios, but need to check)

Thanks for the pointer. Indeed I should probably see first the homelab communities as well

This is a good point actually. I will need to check the laptop can run without battery at all (back in the day I remember this was possible, nowadays I am not sure)
