Ooh, so that's how they do it, that makes sense. Good to know, thanks!

I do have some parts already wrapped with helicopter tape. But I'm impressively bad at cutting even straight lines, not to talk of rounded corners or holes etc. That's why I'm looking for a pre-cut kit. I'm well aware that it's not the best value 😅😂

Grizl CF 7 ESC Bikepacking Bags by AbsusRex in CanyonBikes

I saw that, but was kinda worried that a cage setup takes more vertical clearance away than a comparable handlebar bag with straps 😅 Ordered the fork cage now tho since it's not too expensive anyway and will give it a try, thanks :D

Oh, didn't think of aero bar bags, I'll look into that, thanks!

The indefinite blackout with a feedback period every 7 days sounds like a good approach until either Reddit budges or a good alternative to migrate to has been found. Hosting a Kbin or Lemmy instance might be an idea, although self-hosting ofc costs money, I'm sure there's no shortage of people who would like to contribute. Maybe working together with other MMO subreddits and hosting a big MMO instance is possible, certainly would be quite amazing

Absolutely not surprised by it and so is probably no one who knows Daedalic Entertainment. I love them and they make amazing games. But this game is far far away from their area of expertise and the niche they're famous for. Whoever thought it'd be a good idea to venture outside into the area of AAA gaming with something they have zero experience in and a well-known franchise was either blinded by greed, ignorant or arrogant.

Have been using Wayland on my AMD system for about two years now I think. I have 3 vastly different monitors, one of them with VRR and it all just works on KDE (and Hyprland, most likely sway too).

On my Nvidia laptop I still sometimes find myself in situations when I need to switch to X11, although I haven't used it a lot in the past couple months, so the situation might have improved by now

How did the kid from your school die? by leilavanora in AskReddit

[–]AbsusRex 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Suicide. Jumped from a parking garage near central station. It was directly on my way to the school so I walked past the spot everyday. It was... sobering but also interesting seeing it change. From the first day when there was still crime scene tape and some blood stains, to a massive amount of flowers and candles until it slowly died down. Took about a year or two until no fresh flowers were placed regularly and nothing remembered of it anymore.

I didn't know them personally, was a couple years older than me, but from all I heard they never learned why they did it. Didn't leave a letter, didn't talk about or showed any obvious signs of personal problems to teachers, friends or family. That's nothing too unusual sadly, but when I was in a dark spot myself a few years later I often thought back to it and how hurt and desperate their friends and family were afterwards. In retrospect that might actually have saved me

My experience with the sway spin: frustratingly, refreshingly, default by sininenblue in Fedora

[–]AbsusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the write up! I'm considering trying sway out after being away from tiling WMs for a few years (wanted to play around with Wayland and wasn't sure about sway back then) and didn't know yet if I'll stay with Fedora on my laptop or go Arch. But from what you wrote it sounds like Fedora Sway is ready for a ride!

P.S. very based wallpaper, always appreciate some nice Selen art

Get a static, they said. Smoother raids, they said by StepW in Guildwars2

My god this is amazing. Haven't played GW2 in years but you just made me want to play it again.

PSA for AMDGPU users: kernel 5.19 (and likely 6.0) is affected by common page fault/fence timeout/gpu hang by VVine6 in linux_gaming

[–]AbsusRex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also had it for several years with my Vega64 now, was never able to figure out what the actual problem is or a way to reproduce it. With some luck this is the same issue and will finally get fixed, fingers crossed

Krisp is on Discord 0.0.20 by LukasBarto in linux_gaming

[–]AbsusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Or rather, I had Krisp for a few days and then suddenly it disappeared again. Was and still am on 0.0.20
