  • VLC can play from DLNA, so perhaps there's a way you can use that?

  • Works fine for me. What is it that looks bad? The user interface? Or the actual remote desktop?

  • I host Apache Guacamole on my server, and then VNC/RDP/SSH on the various PCs and servers on my network, so I can connect to them from anywhere, as long as I have a browser, my password manager and my 2-factor auth.

  • There's a Java version higher than 8?

  • Pretty sure it remains $1. But it's specifically only 6-9 digit numeric .xyz domains.

  • I just think it's great that more people can participate in discussion from all across the fediverse. It's pretty neat.

  • Third party launchers do exist, yes, but normally you'd have to use Epic's launcher. That's what they're counting on, anyway.

  • You would ordinarily have to use their launcher, but third party launchers do exist.

  • You can claim them, sure. But you'll need their launcher when you want to play them.

  • We know they play Doom, and someone has likely played the Bad Apple video on one too, as is customary on all things with displays, so I guess they can play Interstellar too.

  • I have a bunch of smart plugs from Athom too, and they're good. Unfortunately I chose those with WiFi back then. Tasmota is fine, and reliable too, but nowadays I prefer ZigBee for most of my home automation.

    I have a few of the discontinued old version TRÅDFRI plugs from IKEA too, since it's ZigBee, and one of them makes weird clicking noises sometimes, almost as if the relay is extremely quickly switching on and off for no reason. Perhaps the new IKEA plugs are better quality.

  • I really like that movie. But watch the directors cut, for the love of all that's good! It removed the narration at the beginning that gave away the whole plot. Much better that way.

  • I know you're a moderator of this community, so you can do whatever you want here, but I feel like 12 posts within 10 minutes is bordering on spamming. It would be awesome if they were spaced out more, so 12 random cybersecurity news articles don't entirely dominate my whole Subscribed feed for a while.

  • Just watched The Gorge (2025) recently. I wouldn't say it's a bad film, but it was really mediocre.

    I love the premise of having the two guard towers, one on each side of a mysterious and foggy gorge, not supposed to communicate with each other, guarding us all from whatever is down there. People have previously gone in but never come out. Strange monsters sometimes attempt the climb up the cliff walls. Is it the gate to hell? What's the story behind it all? Chemistry slowly happens between the guards of the two towers.

    (If you think you might enjoy this movie, don't read my spoilers. Just watch it. I liked it even though it was a bit disappointing.)

  • People were very quick to declare it gone for good.

  • Only one part available right now. The idea is great, though.

  • Help a guy out who doesn't know all acronyms ever made...

    • They're still using the legacy program rcp to remotely receive files on Unix systems?
    • They're switching to reinforced concrete pipes?
    • They're using rapid control prototyping?
    • They're hiring respiratory care practitioners?
    • They're entering the reactor coolant pump market?
    • They're affiliated with the Russian Communist Party?
  • Same for me, and I use the button in my quick settings as well.

  • Good to know that you actually give options a try

    I'm cheap and have used GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape and Paint.NET for professional work at my job (where I'm basically our one-man marketing and web department). So I've had to "make do" with a wide range of free software for a long time. And I may or may not have used a cracked Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator at home, also.

    But man, I gotta say the quality and efficiency of my work has improved 10-fold after I bought the Affinity suite (no subscription, and its license allows me to use it commercially too, even though I bought it personally - I love that!)

  • I haven't actually used 3.0 yet, but from all the screenshots I've seen, it looks basically the same.

    Anyone who has, I have a question: Can you draw simple primitive shapes non-destructively yet (without having to open another plugin panel, select something in a very long dropdown, and filling in a bunch of parameter fields)?

    I love that song... 🎵 Rock Sand! 🎵
