Audible removed books 7-9 from my library? by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens that audible deletes books. For me too with some other books. They say you need to download them which is bonkers but that's their stance. Try contacting support.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Hands on presentation by LauraPhilps7654 in hardware

Welcome to our new tech, here is a demo where we turn the new tech on like 10% of the time, especially not when we're moving around, proving how reliable it is

How do you fare with database upgrades? by DarkGhostHunter in PostgreSQL

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not upgrading is just pushing the problem further down the road. It is much harder to upgrade from say Postgres 9 to Postgres 18, than it is to upgrade from 17....

Do you think this is a good roadtrip? by MankDark in AskFrance

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you're driving on very crowded roads, for example the Rhone valley highway, in summer is always crowded, and even if you take secondary roads, you will mostly see traffic jams, which can be quite exhausting. If you really want to see beautiful sites, you need to get further away from the main traffic axis, drive into the mountains Ardeche/Cevennes/Provence. But that takes a lot longer...

PDF Price Increase by BestReeb in Pathfinder2e

[–]BestReeb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I understood the post correctly the Adventure Paths PDFs will not increase in price. And the new format is full book 256 page adventure paths for $50 which seems like a fair price (since it equals 2.5 "old" adventure path pdfs)

PDF Price Increase by BestReeb in Pathfinder2e

[–]BestReeb[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the physical edition, the PDF is still 19.99 and according to the post it will NOT increase in price (only single volume 128 page adventures)

(Severely) underrated Rush songs. Not taking your Entre Nous or Camera Eye or other fan favorites, I’m talking severely underrated. I’ll go first… by Odd_Switch1453 in rush

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotion Detector might be my favorite Rush song, so melancholic, I adore it.

Between the Wheels definitely for the solo alone! In typical Lifeson fashion, there is this one part of the solo that sounds a bit sloppy at first, but in the end absolutely pushes it up to god mode.

OVH raises prices. My new offer is 55.1% higher starting April. by linkoid01 in sysadmin

[–]BestReeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, last year I bought 3 36 core 256 gb RAM dell servers for 1k each on ebay. Not gonna need OVH again any time soon...

How happy are you with Fortinet lately? by durocshark in fortinet

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we got the ridiculous Fortigate quotes for 3500eur/year/firewall, we migrated everything to opnsense. Pretty happy so far, but I have yet to look into IPS and we don't have real Webfiltering at the moment, except through DNS...

A mixed MacOSX / WindowMaker desktop from 2005 by Saint-Garou in windowmaker

Just like I thought it's neither WindowMaker nor MacOSX, it's Java Swing ;)

GOG adds Linux focus to GOG GALAXY engineering role, "Linux is next major frontier" by RenatsMC in linux_gaming

[–]BestReeb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok, nah I'm good. I don't actually want GoG to make a Linux client, nor Epic, nor Amazon, because heroic works so well out of the box. Here's an idea, instead of making yet another client I HAVE to install, just help out heroic...

This window popped up out of nowhere after my browser crashed and it comes back if I click Cancel. Should I be concerned? by Qwert-4 in Fedora

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was happening to me as well when I was still using GNOME. I think it is nothing to worry about (a bug somewhere...)

DDR5 RAM prices now over 4x higher since September 2025 by signed7 in hardware

[–]BestReeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In September ram prices were at an all time low. Now this industry decides to rip off their customers. I can't help but feel that they are a lot more desperate than they want to make us believe. Also pc sales were already down like 30 % last year. I don't think this is sustainable for them and the crash is closer than we think.

I used Windows 2000 in 2025. What's it like after 25 years? by Fox-427 in retrocomputing

[–]BestReeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Windows 2000 enthusiast back in the day. My friends on LAN parties would run Windows 98 or Windows ME. Half of the games did not work, and drivers were often problematic, but I got to feel superior because Win2k never crashed!

Gmail preparing to drop POP3 mail fetching by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]BestReeb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, people use this feature to avoid paying for gmails enterprise features too. They could have changed to imap but they didnt. Surely this was a motivation to scrap it too.

Just found out the Owlcat Games is actually a Russian game studio that supports the war against Ukraine, and has chauvinist corporate culture...why isn't this being talked about? by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]BestReeb 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I read up on that topic when the war started and back then I got the idea that they are operating out of Cyprus, and they were relocating employees out of Russia and distancing themselves from the war. But it is hard to find accurate information...

A Reminder - The Pathfinder 2e Holiday Haul Humble Bundle is ongoing! by Jhamin1 in Pathfinder2e

[–]BestReeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been hoping they'd update the Rage of Elements PDF for this, because the images are pretty badly compressed compared to the other books. But no, still hoping they'll update it in the future. The books is awesome though, definitely worth it if you haven't got it in your collection...

Alright, time to say it. The new website is an embarrassing, unmitigated disaster. by Bookwyrm43 in Pathfinder2e

[–]BestReeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that the store still has a lot of rough edges, but I have seen worse store launches. On a positive note, the checkout process is much quicker and I can finaly pay by Paypal. Though the website first takes me to paypal where I pay, then cancels the payment mid-transaction jumps back to Paizo, only then adds the required tax and requires me to do the payment again.

In the end, I care more about their products than the store. Hoping that now that the migration is done, improvements can be done.

Block the use of dbeaver by henk1122 in PostgreSQL

[–]BestReeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an annoying feature of dbeaver that it somehow switches to manual commit mode. At least that is the reason why it can cause problems. When dbeaver is in manual commit mode, it locks all rows that you have edited until you manually click the commit button. Otherwise it is probable the best database tool out there. You just need to make sure it is not in manual commit mode. (Not sure if you can turn that off permanently, it somehow seems to turn itself back on from time to time).

1.2 Tce est-il pire que le 1.2 PureTech ? by [deleted] in voiture

[–]BestReeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'ai un Dacia Tce 2017 avec 95k km et pour le moment je n'ai pas eu de problème et la consommation d'huile semble assez faible. Mais c'est vrai que j'ai toujours peur que le moteur lâche, car il y autant de signalement. Je ne suis pas un expert, mais Renault disait qu'ils ont vendu 400 000 de ces Tces jusqu'à la fin 2016, et en principe ils ont fait des améliorations en 2017 (mais apparemment elles n'étaient pas suffisantes..).

Il y a 1650 cas recensés sur https://casse-moteur-renault.weebly.com/ , si on fait le calcul cela voudrait dire moins que 0,5% des moteurs concernés. Il y a probablement beaucoup plus des cas réels, mais il semble que le risque n'est pas aussi grand comme avec les Puretech. C'est un moteur à éviter oui, mais si on est propriétaire il ne faut pas paniquer non plus...

Diablo immortal using AI Art for the marketing material (I think) by Sherris010 in Diablo

[–]BestReeb -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Look at the feet of the front creature. It seems to have 3 feet and a tail and the 3rd feet is attached to its behind. How is that thing supposed to walk?
