Is slackware still widely used?
  • If you can manage a Linux server, you likely have no use for Unraid. If you want to put together a Synology type appliance out of PC hardware to run Docker containers and uses ZFS for backups, Unraid is a fairly user friendly option.

    My buddy played a gig last night with a guy who brought this genius amp. Pretty slick for a small footprint amp for hauling to gigs. He said it sounded great through the owner's Tele and my friend's Strat.

    Strap lock recommendations?
  • Call me old school, but I just buy a pack of Grolsch beer and take out the rubber gaskets from the bottles. They work pretty well with flared strap buttons. I've never had one fail on me, but I'm not throwing my guitars around much when I'm playing.

  • r/baseball mad as some Yankee pitcher gets the 24th perfect game in history.
  • I mean, it's not because he's a Yankee as much as it's because he was suspended for domestic violence in 2020.

    “In September 2019, Germán and his girlfriend attended a charity gala held by then-teammate CC Sabathia. Many of Germán’s 2019 teammates were also there with their families. Germán slapped his girlfriend at the event, sources said, but the MLB investigation focused primarily on what happened at his home later that night.“According to multiple league sources, including a person with knowledge of the MLB investigation, Germán was intoxicated and became physically violent toward his girlfriend until she hid in a locked room. The victim is said to have contacted the wife of another Yankees player, and the couple drove to Germán’s home late at night. The victim remained with the teammate’s wife, while the player attempted to calm down Germán, who is said to have been angry and belligerent.“The incident was reported to MLB by a different member of the Yankees staff, whom Germán’s girlfriend had told about it. The victim did not call law enforcement, so there is no police report from the night of the assault.” - Lindsey Adler of The Athletic

  • Where do you get your gaming news?
  • For general gaming news, I go with Jeff Gerstmann and the Nextlander guys. For more technically focused stuff, it's hard to beat Digital Foundry and their methodology of focusing on the user experience over benchmark numbers. I think all of those folks have been around long enough to be above chasing the hype cycle for traffic and they all have context from decades of being in the industry. Rich from DF started working in games media in 1990 and Jeff started working at Gamespot in 1996. It's hard to find other folks who have been in the industry that long and still working in games coverage.

  • Valve’s Good Guy Image Makes Up For The Steam Deck’s Problems
  • Not out of the box. You don't have sudo privileges on the SteamOS 3. Valve made an immutable fork of Arch for stability and to dissuade unskilled folks from punching stuff into the terminal that might cause customer service nightmares.

  • Valve’s Good Guy Image Makes Up For The Steam Deck’s Problems
  • It's an immutable filesystem fork of Arch, not vanilla Arch. It's as stable as any operating system is, doesn't update in the same way Arch does, and doesn't even allow the user sudo privilege. Also, you don't even need to interface with Linux. The front end is extremely intuitive, but you also have the option of a pretty great KDE Plasma desktop mode if you switch over. Fortunately, it has no Candy Crush, Teams, or Cortana in the Start Menu.
