The Problem with LMG
His comment didn't address two key issues for me:
- The "crunch"/tight scheduling of projects which led to sloppiness to begin with
- The constant need to correct, ranging from simple mistakes to very problematic methods.
I've been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising "We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.", is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can't rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.
And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.
Not to mention, it's worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is "most likely to remain the same", which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.

Don't get me wrong - I think an included battery that's rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that's easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.
Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it's doing.
An additional feature is SimpleLogin's "Hide My E-mail" Aliases, which are "burner" e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton's custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)
There's also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.
If it was so easy to replace them, with each Li-Ion battery being different for every type of device.
Since I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).
Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?
As far as I'm aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating to or having the origin solely receive those.
The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that's arguably not enough.
I used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!
Try Obtainium, helps if an app isn't on F-Droid or Google Play Store.
EVANGELION:3.0+1.11 THRICE UPON A TIME - Blu-ray + 4K UHD Deluxe Edition Preorder

From legendary director Hideaki Anno, EVANGELION:3.0+1.11 THRICE UPON A TIME is the fourth and final installment of the REBUILD OF EVANGELION films, bringing an epic conclusion to the story of Shinji and his fellow Eva pilots, with the stunning visuals and thought-provoking storytelling that has mad...
Also available on Amazon, HMV etc. but only in non-4K form. DVD separately and DVD+Blu-Ray (no 4K) available.
Limited time 20GBP discount on the 4K version through ATA/Anime Ltd. directly.
You're welcome! Keep in mind that the base "VCR"-sized Xbox One (not the S or the X variant) only accepts 1080p Blu-Rays, not 4K UHD Blu-Ray discs.
A player burner combo would require a PC and special software to be able to play commercial Blu-Rays to begin with.
I'm sadly not as up-to-date on Blu-Ray players as I'd like to be, but Sony has a small one although that misses 4K Ultra HD support (it upscales DVDs and regular Blu-Rays to 4K, which isn't the same as 4K UHD releases on their own). If you already own a "modern" video game console, starting with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One they got Blu-Ray player support, if you're also into video games. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One S and later got 4K UHD support as well.
Do you refer to a player+burner combination for a PC, or a regular player for TV's?
Spotting Super Mario RPG in there, you might appreciate knowing some people actually recreated some songs with the original synths used by Yoko Shimomura herself.
I'm honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.
I get why people like 2016's DOOM's more "metal" approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.
any game with a story
Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound...
Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one's not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).
The Prevue channel definitely wow'd me with using an SQL database for the data and SDL to render that.
Exactly my thoughts. I was looking to see if he had any possible contact options to ask him to consider that, but haven't been able to find any to this date.
"RetroTV" - A self-made linear TV network for watching films and series
cross-posted from: https://compuverse.uk/post/194017
Spotted this on the Hackaday blog. This project really impressed me at the effort it must've taken to get this right.
"Irish Craic Party" made a "RetroTV" television network running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with an external 2TB hard drive filled with films, series and commercial bumpers and the like to recreate the older 80's and 90's TV networks, with each own recreations or original (derivatives) of actual TV channels from back then.
Sadly, he does not seem to be willing to open source the project, according to the video description:
"Even without: this is a one-off bespoke project with time / effort exceeding what people would likely be willing to pay, DIY media servers are niche, certain omissions would be made to avoid legal clashes and ***I don't have time to maintain an open-source project. Most of all, I'm ready to move on to new thing
Thanks for letting us know! Here's the code repository, for those wanting to self host it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
I showed this to my friend (an instance owner) and he immediately went "Let's self host this". Really looks great. If someone could make it work somehow with RES, then it would be a total replacement.
Any specific recommendations, by any chance?
Also out of curiosity, how did you grab all the foreign pricing from Fanatical?
SEGA AGES series 75% off!

EXCLUDED TITLES: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Big recommendation on my part, these either have been good emulations for the Switch console or amazing ports/remasters (Fantasy Zone, Virtua Racing). Some of the emulated titles even got bonus features like a moving border based on gyro along with sound effects to make it seem like you're using the real fancy arcade cabinets.
The series has been developed by M2, a popular Japanese development studio responsible for many emulation collections like that of Castlevania, but also the Virtual Console emulators of the Wii U for the DS, GBA and TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine consoles. Not to forget the SEGA Mega Drive (2) Mini and the PC Engine Mini have its emulation done by them.

Let’s talk about media collections: How do you keep your library of your favorite movies and TV shows?
cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/484144
I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.
Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.
I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?
Tell me your thoughts!

Blu-ray discs are the successor to DVD discs and the competitor of the former HD DVD format. The main variants of the Blu-ray discs are capable of storing 25 GB (single layered), 50-66GB (dual layered), or 100-128GB (BDXL). They are commonly used for home releases of films and shows (along with the still popular DVD format), or used for long-term archival through the use of M-DISCs. Blu-ray players are required to play these discs, although video game consoles (the PlayStation 3, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4, the Xbox Series X|S and the PlayStation 5) nowadays have Blu-ray player functionality built-in. Discs are still capable of region-lo
