The container was rebuilt a couple of years ago and I don't think it has any significant limitations now. There are examples using mariadb (which I'm using) and I don't see why PostgreSQL wouldn't be configurable in the same way.

A server in a friend/family member's home. All of the cloud based backups I've encountered seem either unaffordable or have annoying limitations.

They might ship the game without Denuvo on Linux which has happened before.

The plus side of RGB is that you can control it at least. So set it to white or some other soft colour (or turn it off completely), which is at least an improvement over blinding blue LEDs. Of course, the software and driver support on Linux isn't perfect.

In any case, the gaudy stuff sells, so that's how they advertise it.

I get the vibe of what you're saying but SteamOS is only slightly less customisable than other distributions and so it's pretty much a more stable, fully featured distribution in the end. With plenty of opportunity to learn and tinker.

So it could be a bit of a gateway drug to a less passive mindset but well see.

Social sciences are important even if finding truth is messier and happens over a longer period.

In any case, misinformation is often not something that can argued as just a difference of opinion. There are obvious cases like outright lies about the occurrence of events such as "immigrants eating pets en masse" or "the bowling green massacre", or that the "greenhouse warming effect" doesn't exist.

Fact checking doesn't have to be outright removal either, it just needs a critical analysis of the facts, and people can make up their own minds.

The fires mostly missed the major cities. Although dealing with hazardous levels of smoke for much of that period is not nothing.

Instead you're going to get an extreme right-wing conservative that will make life objectively worse, as they always do.

And you can self-host kiwix and use the compressed zim files available here.

This stuff was happening even in the early days of Facebook let alone now so I get it.

You can use https://reg.bom.gov.au/ for the old interface and https://beta.bom.gov.au/ for the new interface. But yeah, they should get on with making it the default.

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

As a beginner? Sure, but having played the HL2 VR mod you get used to it, and it has left me wishing Alyx was a bit more challenging.

I'm fine with that, especially if the Deckard is reasonably priced and has first-class Linux support.

Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.

The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.

They probably mean in comparison to the likes of Sonic Mania.

It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don't become a thing).

That's true for normal Proton but GE is a third party version.

It's enough if you just need access in a VM or over a lan (depending on your threat model) but agreed.

but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway

There is, although only the client and only v3 support.
