I mean, it’s serviceable if all you do is gaming

You answered your own question. For some devices, gaming is all they need to do.

It feels as if Steam is doing everything in its power to keep me from leaving it and punishes me for daring to try

Does it? EmuDeck, Heroic and Lutris integrate directly into Steam. With a single click you can add a shortcut in your Steam library. Same goes for adding any desktop shortcut with a right click.

I’m not sure how they can make it any easier unless somebody like GOG bothers to do some work themselves.

I’m 95% there, I just need Docker Swarm to support IPv6 without breaking as soon as it is enabled.

That’s disappointing, Discover is pretty neat.

Think I can’t steer left better than you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9Zi1Fpq1Y

Isn’t it running plain KDE? If so, Discover is included.

Still in stock in other regions, depending on where you live you might be able to order somewhere else?

I finally bought Nine Sols.

Played through it on my Linux PC, worked flawlessly. Fantastic game!

My tip is to play the game until you find it fun, while developing it.

That’s a good tip, if your testing sessions get longer and longer because playing the game is fun you’re on the right track.

I never used gamescope on Xorg, so not sure.

btrfs has been the default file system for Fedora Workstation since Fedora 33 so not much reason to not use it.

Do you happen to know if you still need the HDR layer when using Wayland directly? I know gamescope didn’t require it for a while now but I never saw anything about it for Wine.

Roomba? It takes less time to just vacuum the place than it does for the fucking vacuum to realize it’s been humping the same chair leg for most of its battery charge.

If you are willing to put in some work, Valetudo is fantastic: https://valetudo.cloud/

My two robot vacuums have been working for 5 years with no intervention other than emptying the bin every 2 weeks and dusting off the sensors when it complains.

Assistants?

Same as above, if you are willing to put in some work, Home Assistant includes a voice assistant and they ship devices now with everything preinstalled so you can plug in and go: https://www.home-assistant.io/green/

Not really, the only wifi devices are phones and IoT.

Is that actually an UPS or just a backup battery? Can it passthrough the line power directly or does the inverter need to run 24/7?

In the latter case you might want to check how much power the inverter eats just by itself. For example, my Bluetti with 2 kWh needs a whopping 50W in idle just to keep the AC ports powered. Of course your unit looks much smaller so it should be way less but still worth measuring.

That is what it is.

It seems they don’t make a variant for Europe so that’s probably why I never heard of it.

The entire house is terminated there, that’s where all the cables go. :)

Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.

Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.

Top to bottom:

• Unifi US-16-XG
• OPNsense DEC740
• Unifi Switch 24
• Unifi Switch 16 PoE
• DIY server with an AsrockRack X470D4U mainboard
• DIY DAS in an old server case with 18 3.5" bays

Not in picture: My UPSes, RIPE Atlas probe and an Odroid N2+ running my Home Assistant instance

The server runs Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers running a Docker Swarm cluster.

There’s too many services running so I’m not listing them all. Let’s just say my phone is not going to be thrilled if it goes down. Also, this post was posted through said server.

Hmm, that’s strange. Can’t think of much else that could prevent that system from displaying anything.

Since you mentioned safe graphics work, can you try enabling the automatic login for your user in GNOME/KDE so the login screen gets skipped?

If that doesn’t work: After booting in normal mode, wait a little bit until it should be at the login screen and then hit Ctrl + Alt + F6 a few times. Does a terminal appear on your screen?
