Muddying the waters is the oldest trick in the books, big corporations have even started doing it with "indie" games - Dave the Diver is stylized and marketed as an indie game despite being developed by a division of a multi-billion company Nexon.

I definitely have an issue with it as well, it's really hard to say whether something is actually FOSS nowadays or not, and whether it can be taken away or acquired by someone else down the line. That could be my fault as well since I never bothered to learn about the licenses beyond what MIT / Apache2 are, and even those I understand superficially.

There should absolutely be more pushback for things like these though.

This is obsolete info, it has been changed since.

And that Kira hut episode

I'm not sure what Ansible does that a simple Docker Compose doesn't yet but I will look into it more!

My real backup test run will be soon I think - for now I'm moving from windows to docker, but eventually I want to get an older laptop, put linux on it and just move everything to the docker on it instead and pretend it's a server. The less "critical" stuff I have on my main PC, the less I'm going to cry when I inevitably have to reinstall the OS or replace the drives.

Ahh, so the best docker practice is to always just use outside data volumes and backup those separately, seems kinda obvious in retrospect. What about mounting them directly to the NAS (or even running docker from NAS?), for local networks the performance is probably good enough? That way I wouldn't have to schedule regular syncs and transfers between "local" device storage and NAS? Dunno if it would have a negative effect on drive longevity compared to just running a daily backup.

The DLC has some issues, performance and bugs with new gear, but it's still well worth it if you like the base game. For just 10€ you get a lot of content to an already really good and fun game and they will surely fix all those things, gunfire games' track record has always been excellent.

FWIW I think the visinon was great, they basically wanted to make a AAA Starbound with the Bethesda flavor.

Ironically enough they fell for the same trap that Chucklefish did a decade ago - the bland procedurally generated repetitive content ruined the feel of exploration. It doesn't help that even the handcrafted Bethesda content is shallow, soulless and predictably boring too.

In short, I think the idea was fine, it was just the execution that's lacking.

What makes it so useful? Is it just remote access if you're away from your pc, or what do you use it for?

[–] Kaldo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I really hope this eventually gets applied to phones as well. I don't have OS issues since I'm using the pro license (and once that stops working I can go linux), but for smartphones there isn't really a viable alternative like that.

I wonder if this will mean improvements for cyberpunk's modding scene as well, since they use the same engine underneath?

I'm not an expert player and it's been forever since I played it last so maybe I'm missing the importance of some of thee changes but... It doesn't seem like anything really big is added? Is it mostly a maintenance update as they are preparing to leave early access, do they even have any major feature still on a road map?
