Infinitode - a tower defense game with a lot of meta progression

As always is

Oh and leave a bad review so other people won’t make the same mistake!

Rocking my second Thinkpad with full Linux, it has been a very pleasant experience both times. Sadly, had to switch a year back to from E15 to T16 because the keyboard started failing and it wasn’t servicable from my side. Still works with external one though.

Linux is heavily used on servers. Losing server sector means a huge chunk of revenue.

It is entirely possible to lock down computer parts to only run Windows and signed drivers. However, the sheer amount of available computer parts, open sourced hardware, widely understood technologies, and not enough monopoly makes this unfeasible for anyone to really try to implement (yet).

If Intel started doing Windows only, they would lose so much revenue from big corporations and data centers it would ruin them, and everyone would just buy AMD instead. Consumer market in computer sector is secondary.

For phones, you really do not have enough alternatives. You choose between evil and more evil. Think of it as Linux in it’s starting days - missing features that makes it unusable for the common folk. Linux phones haven’t matured yet, that’s why you have to choose between feature rich vs heavily degraded user experience, as opposed to minor inconvenience of not being able to run some apps.

I recently upgraded my Jellyfin server from GTX 970 to GTX 1660 because I wanted to have HEVC 10bit support for transcoding on the fly (40 Mbps uplink is not ideal), it cost me $60 and I sold my old one for $20 to a buddy with GTX 600ish.

I don’t think I’ve pirated a game since I started working and actually spending on Steam. Except Borderlands 3, because fuck Epic Games Store, their dumb fucking exclusivity deals, and their shitty launcher - they won’t EVER see a penny from me.

I bought it on Steam a year later when it came out, on sale, with DLCs.

That’s what you get for using anything that doesn’t work fully offline. Seriously people still defending Plex and not seeing that it will bite them back sooner or later are delusional.

Given that hardware doesn’t die, my Jellyfin will probably work until the heat death of the universe.

Might get a coffee out of it

With 4, you are correct, I went from top of my head back what we learned in high school 15 or so years ago. 5 is still better than nothing if you don’t have the resources to get one more drive for 6. Of course, the best is completely mirroring all stuff to a separate geo location.

It all boils down to willingness of spending money for more durability.

I’ve edited my comment to scratch R4. But R5 is still great for smaller arrays, and it is possible to, for example, have RAID 5 for movies, and RAID 6 for photos.

There are also combinations of RAID levels, like aforementioned 10. There is a nice comparison table with apparent drive requirements and fault tolerance on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

You’ll have to find some kind of balance, ad it js a game of chance. You are always limited by number of slots in your server and current largest drive size. Then you are trying to balance price, speed, and durability.

For exampl, let’s say maximum amount of drives is 10, and maximum manufactured size is 50 TB. You probably don’t need 500 TB of storage that is in no way durable (if a drive dies, all the data on it is lost) and on a single server.

Death of drives is almost certain, two drives dying at the same time is quite low, so something like RAID 4, 5, 6, or 10 is a great start. Depends on how much storage you want, and then partition it accordingly. If you want 20 TB, you can do 4x 8TB in RAID 5, which yields 3x 8TB (=24) of effective storage.

Adding new drives is easy, and you are are always wasting just one drive. Then it depends if you want to sacrifice more space for more durability and switch to RAID 6 later on.

If you want even more storage, you can buy a micro server like ODROID H4+ and use it as network connected storage.

They probably forgot how easy is to switch both DNS provider and domain registrar.

Daaamn, you are right, I was half-asleep, I have mistaken it with Void Train.

Raft suggestion still stands tho!

Instead of Void Crew (which uses Epic launcher and is not quite done yet) I recommend Raft. Quite replayable, fun, has a nice story.

From experience: Junie, and AI agent based on Sonnet 4, performs quite well. It can even write tests and fix them if they are failing.

Not saying the quality is great, but good enough eventually work and to pass as junior code.

Not sure how good OpenAI agent is, and if they used their coding agent Codex, and if they did then was it as-is or with some tuning? Not sure, they write it was “custom agent based on o3”.

They write all,the contestants have the same hardware, but did the agent run on the given machine, or in the cloud? Human brain is like 20-40W, so let’s say the upper limit given he has to move his hands - did the AI agent get the same wattage? I don’t think so.

Why would they have to handle it? This is Rddit’s choice, not the law. I mean, why would Redit decide it now? Does Feddit fall under the same act? Or is it something new?

Czech here, also own the CZ Shadow 2 (full size), it is such a pleasure to shoot.

What if - hear me out - Trump is gonna hold world by the balls, waving tariffs, and then canceling them. It is not only gonna boost spending, but also put more money in the billionaires pockets.

Wait, that’s not right either!
