ZRAM is insane by Animortis in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

Mageia 9 released by Animortis in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

Happy Debian Day - going 30 years strong by Animortis in c/linux@lemmy.ml

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would've likely prevented this situation entirely.

Edit: Other than the pushing of merch... Sigh... This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. "We screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it? by Animortis in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] Animortis@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

Devs Announce FaceIT Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck by Animortis in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Can someone explain to me the difference between "community-driven" and "corporate-driven" distributions and its implications? by Animortis in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Newbie question: Spray-on Varnishes (kbin.social)

submitted 1 year ago by Animortis@kbin.social to c/tabletopminis@lemmy.world

My question here is if there are any rattlecan varnishes people recommend not from Citadel or Army Painter? I'm looking to speed up the varnishing but not all my FLGS have them in stock all the time.

I usually use a painted-on Army Painter Anti-Matte varnish, but lately I've found that process to be rather tedious. Additionally, it can cause issues with my Speedpaints 1.0.

Once I'm done with my bottle, I was considering spray-on varnishes. Now I know that we can use certain regular brand rattlecan primers, like Rustoleum, but I was wondering if anyone had a go-to rattlecan varnish they use that isn't from one of the "big" mini paint companies. (Like Rustoleum? or something?) I can hit a hobby store too if there's something there people like.

I've found there isn't a lot online about this topic. Some videos, sure, but they seem Europe-oriented, and we often have different products here in the U.S., particularly in these regular hardware store items. So I was looking for advice and thoughts.

GOG is doing much better than in 2022 by Animortis in c/gaming@kbin.social

I'd be thrilled to mostly sit and purchase from GoG if they really dedicated to Linux.

The update doesn't let the site use captchas. They're waiting for .18.1, which will.

Thank you for your hard work! I'm a big fan of both systems. What's the alternative for systems relying on captchas keeping out bots though?

Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why? by Animortis in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[-] Animortis@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Prefer Kbin, I feel the interface is cleaner and more true to the Fediverse. My complaints are A) It's really hard to just look at a list of your magazines and B) why is the reply box at the bottom of the page?

Anyone run a Mechwarrior: Destiny game and have tips? (kbin.social)

Hey everyone, just trying to help keep this instance afloat while we wait for the system to keep powering up...

So has anyone ever run a MW: Destiny game before? I've run a few sessions with friends, and we're mostly trying to figure this out as we go. I am finding it's hard to constantly think of things on the fly, since your players can modify the path of where things are going so much. I don't think they're taking things "off the rails," per se, just makes it a challenge. Do you have any ideas on what to do once you're stumped?
