It was a little different, because the quests were procedurally generated. Unfortunately most of them were pretty boring, being either a “fetch the item” or “kill the bandits” quest. I don’t know another major game that did that.

Check the backplane before you buy drives or an HBA. The N3’s backplane just has SATA ports and molex power, you’d have to swap out the whole backplane and hack something together. The N1 and N2 are probably similar.

I know in the US, local government, schools, universities, etc. will hold surplus sales when they get rid of old equipment. Maybe you can see if they do something similar near you?

You might also compare the price of a local system vs cloud hosting. That might work out to be cheaper.

Fortunately I haven’t had to do this for anything like my bank app or its multifactor code app, but yeah it would be like that. For apps not published on the play store, they continue working.

I have a Jonsbo N3 and I’ve been happy with it so far. The N1 and N2 only fit four drives, so if you want more, you’ll have to get the N3 as well. And you’ll have to get an HBA or something, because your motherboard will probably only have four SATA ports.

The biggest power draw will be the drives, also. And you don’t really need ECC on the desktop; random bit flips are uncommon and rarely significant when they happen. Your filesystem and/or RAID should protect against disk corruption.

Interactiviry seems to be a good thing. What brings you to participate here on Lemmy?

Yeah that’s a bunch of red flags right off the bat.

Isn’t X effectively dead anyway, and most people moving to Wayland?

Maybe for the Singapore thing. For the play integrity thing, it applies to apps from anywhere except the play store directly. I use Aurora to install apps that say “not compatible with your device” for no reason. But a week or two ago ago, they started blocking access and saying I needed to install from the play store.

Fortunately I was able to downgrade and they kept working, but I don’t know how long that will last. At some point the server side will change the API.

For http(s), yes. Other services that don’t support host routing, which is most of them, no.

Because the designers and marketers were given priority over the safety engineers.

Agreed. Are they turning, or just braking periodically with a taillight out? Who knows!

I also love the front turn signals that turn off that headlight. Dumb as hell for everyone.

Also, animated signals should be banned. On or off, no flashing, glowing, or sliding.

Because it wasn’t blindingly obvious? I don’t know how tall the truck in front of me is, and since I don’t drive tall vehicles I know even less about the heights of bridges. Usually commercial drivers are the better ones.

Yes that’s all I want, to be able to see the indicator again. A lot of newer cars have moved them too far to the side of the vehicle.

I encounter this pretty often because a Boston area streets are terrible and the drivers are worse, so a visible indicator helps all drivers make traffic flow more smoothly.

I mean when a car is coming at me from a cross street, I want to be able to tell if they’re turning or just an asshole not using their signal. On some cars, the turn signal is mounted so far to the side that if they’re approaching from my right and turning right onto the same street as me, I can’t see that turn signal. Sometimes combined with the roundness of the nose exacerbating the problem.

By signaling to oncoming traffic and vehicles approaching from the side, a front brake light provides an essential visual cue that a car is slowing down or preparing to stop. When the light is extinguished, it indicates that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement. According to Tomasch, this visual feedback can significantly truncate the reaction time for other road users, leading to shorter stopping distances and consequently diminishing the likelihood of accidents.

Sounds reasonable. Personally I just want front turn signals to be visible from the opposite side again.

Yes that is how capitalism works

It’s because they’re Republicans, therefore whatever they do is right.

Does Lemmy let you retroactively deny applications?

Nobody is remotely at risk of losing life or limb because slrpnk is down for a little while.

I think “permanently deleted” is when a mod or admin deletes their content administratively.
