It’s generally fine, the vast majority of applications are fine with it, it’s mainly the legacy shit that falls over.

You can also enable it on a per directory basis, and I’ve yet to encounter a Dev tool that has issues with it. Same for the path limit, you can have long paths enabled too.

You can enable case sensitivity in windows. It’s only disabled by default.

And you can enable it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity

Sadly it’s a PS1 exclusive game, but the story is super interesting a it revolves around mitochondria.

It’s sort of a mixture of resident evil and final fantasy. Worth checking out on an emulator though!

I’m genuinely curious, how do you feel about parasite eve?

It’s one of my all time favourite games.

Because the time to learn a new operating system is more than I have to spare. I’m approaching middle aged, windows is familiar and I just want to kick back and enjoy my games.

Linux hasn’t reached drop-in replacement on the desktop yet. The steam deck is fantastic and I have no problems running it stock, but desktop Linux? Nah. Why would I dual boot when I can stick to one OS that does what I want and need.

(Side note: I run Linux on my server and am quite happy with it).

The engine Can of Duty uses is effectively a heavily modified quake 3 engine.

By this point it’s so modified it may as well be a different thing, but make no mistake it has evolved from the quake 3 engine.

I used OSMC for years going back to when it was still raspbmc, got the first Vero and then the 4k model.

They were never perfect and hassle free, a lot of which I put down to Kodi itself. I love the idea of Kodi, but the base interface is lacking (especially when you have a big collection) and most of the fancy front-ends / skins I tried would run too slow and once again bring back the shoddy TV experience I was trying to avoid. It also does not support streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ in any usable capacity. Kodi has a rich add-on ecosystem, which usually means you can plug some gaps but the add-ons have a habit of just breaking out of the blue or during major upgrades. I’ve had to have Kodi index my library so many times that I got sick of it ruining film night.

Eventually I bought an Nvidia shield, still using Kodi at first but switching between Plex, jellyfin and emby until I settled on emby for my local content. Being able to use other streaming services was a bonus and the hardware was good enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish.

You can also install 3rd party apps like smart tube for an excellent YouTube experience (and now my preferred way to watch YouTube).

The shield is starting to show it’s age big time (it doesn’t support HDR on YouTube, for example) but sadly outside of the USA there isn’t really any devices that match or beat it - you keep hearing about that Wal-Mart device being brilliant but that’s US only.

So in short, get a good android TV box for the best experience and the most options.

Sure, but Microsoft has since contributed a lot to Linux and other open source projects. That’s not me saying “oh they’ve changed!”, that’s me saying they’ve made it significantly harder on themselves to bring legal action against because they’ve publicly endorsed and supported the project for so long.

Whatever legal arguments they tried in the past that failed are even weaker now.

It’s incredibly difficult to read the captions on this meme, there’s not enough contrast with the white text on the light backgrounds.

Another recommendation for tdarr, set it up in January and let it transcode away, going to h265 for all my media - saved me over 40TB of space so far and I haven’t noticed a massive drop In quality or had any playback issues.

And yet no actual contributor to openssl is losing sleep over this.

Your analogy would fit if the deprecated methods didn’t have a higher barrier to entry than using GitHub.

This is less like removing the wheelchair ramps and more like removing the steps at the back of the building.

I doubt many of the commentators here used any of the deprecated methods to contribute to openssl.

It’s one thing to talk about what’s good for open source, it’s quite another to practice it.

Those keybindings are prevalent outside of windows though, Ctrl+C is almost universally copy and Ctrl+V is almost universally paste - it might have been popularised by windows at some point in history but it’s well beyond that.

There’s an argument for consistency, especially with basic functions.

Yeah I love nano. I can use vim a little, enough to make a change and save the output. I can even exit vim!

But 9 times out of 10 if I need to edit a text file in a terminal window, I’m just making a quick config change - I need the terminal equivalent to notepad, not the terminal equivalent to an IDE.

Nano is exactly what I need, nothing more and nothing less.

We desperately need a company like Mozilla to take the reigns of something like Lemmy. The original developers are far too biased and short sighted to see the bigger picture, it needs to be an independent group that promotes more open source development.

In 99 cases out of 100, you won’t be able to hand craft assembly better than a good compiler can - partly due to compilers being much better and partly due to the skill level required. 20 or 30 years ago compilers weren’t as good and a reasonably competent person could craft more optimised assembly but these days compilers are pretty damn good and you need some extra level of ability to best the compiler.

However, there’s still that 1 time out of 100 and given how resource intensive ffmpeg is, it’s worth spending that extra time to hyper optimise the code because it’ll pay off massively.

I understand your reasoning for not setting up the other *arr apps, due to not having a dedicated server to run them, however you’d still benefit from running them on your PC. They handle the downloading, extraction, categorising and naming of the media you want and they can do that automatically.

Even on your computer, that’ll save you time and effort, you can just tell it what shows you want - even shows that aren’t out yet and it’ll grab them for you whenever they appear. It’s great for when you enjoy a show and the next season starts, it just grabs it for you and the show appears one day.

A lot of people start this way and it’s only then they think about getting a dedicated device for it - such a device can be a decent little Synology or QNAP NAS, something small, quiet and power efficient but I’d definitely say you don’t need to start there. It’s worth the effort to try though, believe me.
