I forgot to include nm and wpa supplicant to my arch install before I committed it to disk and am now stuck installing everything from offline pacman caches carried to my via local homeless people in the form of random USB sticks found in parking lots. Prove me wrong.

And an IR blaster. And a proper status and notification LED. And an SD card slot.

Companies really lost the way.

This joke isn’t just a one off thing either, every troll has a name to go with it. You can even get a baby troll that you can feed most tradable items to to change its name to the item. A few people feed stuff like Christmas crackers to them to show off.

If all you want to do is learn how they work then you should stop pining for new hardware. Go learn on an old AM3 or LGA 1155 system, stuff generally works the same.

That’s called a tomato can

The alternative is outright state censored and strictly follows party lines. If you know how to read between the lines you can pick out the bits of actual news that don’t make it out through more mainstream sources. Granted, it’s still by and large just cult propaganda, but any port in a storm as they say.

Still though, for your own mental health, just use Chinese forums that aren’t hosted in China.

A rubber band isn’t launching a spark plug faster than just throwing it, and if you haven’t ever had to break a car window from the outside let me tell you, you need to get those ninja rocks moving pretty quick.

You aren’t causing any damage with that. Use a few condoms for the slingshot rubber and just whittle a Y shape out of some wood to tie it to. That will get a ball bearing through a 2x4 with a good arm.

You still need to disrupt operations on the ground. Logistical disruption does a lot more damage at the lowest level here. If they can’t get goons together they pose significantly less threat in the first place.

Motor oil balloons on windshields, broken windows, flat tires, tailpipe obstructions, anything to slow down movement and coordination.

Spark plug insulators, anything hardened ceramic, and some types of volcanic gravel all work. Anything harder than glass that comes to a sharp point.

The software isn’t the hard part, it’s the storage for the mods and networking infrastructure to get them out to people. Add in commonly requested features like comments, tagging, search with filters, and a website and you have a recipe for a wildly expensive and fairly complex product. As shitty as Nexus is, they have evolved into the YouTube of mods. A single entity hosting fairly sizable infrastructure to provide a free as in data theft service to basically anyone with a pulse.

I am curious to see if there is a good solution to decentralized data storage that isn’t redundantly copying the data X number of times and hoping for the best. That alone would go a long way towards solving the infrastructure issues.

You know, I wonder how many places are captured like Wyoming is.

Fun lesson on the sparsest state in the nation, their constitution allows for a single public university. One. It’s in Laramie. That college basically owns Laramie, the college campus takes up the majority of the town. Cost of living there is similar to the Chicago suburbs as a result. The college is the only option for in-state tuition for residents to get a 4 year degree with federal aid.

It’s the only public option and trying to open another one would be illegal.

The president of UW is one of the most insanely compensated individuals I have ever met. He has a mansion in the mountains and owns the surrounding few miles. He is so filthy rich it’s disgusting.

The teachers, on the high end mind you, make $55,000 a year. By high end I mean multiple doctorals and decades of experience teaching 40+ credits per semester.

I bet the private colleges would stand to lose money, and honestly fuck those guys with a spiked tentpole. That scum is worse than UW and UW should make anyone with a degree bearing their name feel a deep sense of shame and regret at the least. That administration is outright racist, ableist, and corrupt garbage and a good chunk of the teachers are complicit in funnelling kids that have no business being in college at all into crippling debt just to make a buck.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the private colleges had a similarly corrupted state of affairs when it comes to federal loans and aid.

The system update needs to be on a FAT32 drive without a label. The label shouldn’t matter. The update needs to look like a single folder on the root of the drive called $SystemUpdate. Plug it in, reboot the console.

If your console is modded it will specifically stop that process unless you rename that folder, but if you don’t know what you are doing then don’t mess with anything that touches the nand. Updating a modded box is its own process.

Also, just a fair warning, the Xbox compatibility files don’t come from a system update anyway, you need to use a program like Xploder to add the compatibility partition to your drive and manually copy it over. You should take some time and read up on SevenSins how to proceed.

Picking up any hobby from scratch is going to have a learning curve. If you can deal with the teething issues then gaming is one of the easier hobbies to get into. If you can follow guides then it’s pretty easy to get set up, and as a bonus if you aren’t an asshole about things and follow instructions reasonably well then finding someone to help you with getting specific issues resolved is pretty easy.

Like with any hobby you can really get into the weeds as far as what’s “easiest” because everyone is just going to recommend the setup that works for them and that may not work for you out of the box. You are going to need to put some legwork into figuring out the hardware no matter what you buy. PC gaming is by far the cheapest and most flexible, full stop. You don’t need a new PC to play games either, there is this odd misconception that you need high end hardware for anything and… No… Just no. You can play anything up to the Xbox One/PS4 generation of games (including PC) on computers that were midrange in 2018.

Grab an old PC collecting dust in the corner somewhere, install Fedora or Mint on it, and just use steam to launch anything you want to play. Explore the built in software repositories, those games are completely free, run on anything, and are surprisingly good in a lot of cases. If you end up wanting to play more and feel held back by the computer then look into something better. If you feel like you aren’t enjoying it and want to upgrade the hardware just to see if that’s what will make it click then it probably won’t.

If you are really sold on the idea of consoles then don’t discount modding an older system like an Xbox 360 or PS3, once they are set up you can just pick a game and go.

At the end of the day just find a system that you already have or that you can get for an amount you wouldn’t care about losing. You don’t want to drop a grand on a computer or a console with a bunch of games and never use it. Try playing some of the good free stuff and see if it’s worth investing into first.

Their guides specifically call for an exact kernel version, distribution, and hardware. If you are trying to operate outside of the official requirements then it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the official documentation doesn’t work for you.

You need to set an override in your environment variables to force it to use the gfx1030 kernel modules, but otherwise you shouldn’t have too many issues.

It’s unofficial, but the 6700xt uses the exact same core as one of the supported enterprise cards, so just using the drivers for it generally works just fine. I use a 6800M personally.

If you are struggling to get rocm installed at all then stop using the amd guides and just install the pre built binaries directly. Fedora packages them in their repository and in my experience rocm just works once you run dnf install rocm*.

Wow! What are the odds we were both born on the same day?

I can confirm, they have been doing this for months
