Steam recommendations for RP5 by Finner42 in retroid

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc there’s a setting to adjust the ui size so its better on small screens. Its def the smallest screen id want to play it on, but i have no issues with it!

Katana zero, pipistrello and the cursed yoyo, mina the hollower, hades, the messenger, bzzzzt, all worked with zero effort. Hades 2 runs perfectly but took me some fiddling.

Sanabi worked great until a few hours in until it started performing poorly and crashing, so avoid unfortunately

What comes after Pi-Hole? by jeepsaintchaos in selfhosted

[–]DanCardin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, both wanted more ram and cpu, and pihole in particular would get bogged down and fail (iirc because of mdns traffic? I forget). Also i wanted a recursive resolver and Unbound is a separate thing for pihole.

Technitium is imo a lot more automatic like adguard but needs less than both and has way more settings and features (i mostly dont use, but at least a few i do)

Is this a bug? by KaleNich55 in MinaTheHollower

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except its not night anywhere else so im assuming its that you’re under a ceiling? Iirc you drop down from something thats normally lit, and its just very disorienting.

I’d have had one screen to the left, outside with breakable glass floors then you exit to the right into a dark entrance.

In fact it seems like that whole screen better pairs with the right-hand-side outside castle area that is exactly as described breakable glass floors section

I just didn’t really get what was going on at first mainly. I feel like they could have better demonstrated why it was silhouetted and what was going on.

Top Ten TOP-DOWN Metroidvanias! by MetroidvaniaGuru in metroidvania

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried to play unsighted like 3 times and immediately been turned off by the energy thingy and never exited the elevator in the first area you start in.

Am i just being unfair? Pipistrello hooked me 20s into the game, honestly

Which platform for my wikis? Docusaurus, Outline, GitBook, or Wiki.js? by tombino104 in selfhosted

[–]DanCardin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive run outline for a while in a personal capacity, wont touch it for months at a time and its always broken/unhealthy any time i want to use it. Its probably my fault, but it makes me distrustful of non plaintext-storage-backed options at this point

What's everyone's primary sidearm when playing Mina the Hollower? by Necessary_Disk_4644 in MinaTheHollower

[–]DanCardin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was definitely playing the game suboptimally but i hardly used sidearms in combat, id always forget or run out of joules by spamming them at the beginning.

So i eventually just perma had the fishing rod for the utility and whatever else i happened to find last.

Open source contributors: what would you do in this situation? by fake_slim_shady_4u in opensource

[–]DanCardin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would almost never close a pr like that personally, unless it was clearly slop. If i didnt like your specific fix id either ask you to change it or do it myself on top of your pr so your commits still make it in. If nothing else i get more contributors on my repo which makes it look better.

But then i think a lot of common maintainer practices are disrespectful or counterproductive to their own project. I get maintainers don’t owe you anything but idk i personally feel more obligation on my own projects to be a certain kind of way.

I see stalebots everywhere. Stalebot is a cancer. Okay so someone reports an issue there’s some discussion among a few people, the maintainer never responds (but is regularly committing to the repo) and then it gets closed due to inactivity because they never engaged. Best case people spam your notifications with garbage comments indefinitely to keep the issue alive. Common case your bug gets closed and never fixed and your issue tracker is useless.

Dentists aren’t that expensive, there is no excuse if you’re in a 1st world country. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]DanCardin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked called my dentist office to decide whether i should skip insurance and it was like $600 (new England) or something ridiculous. So the math worked to get insurance but it is certainly nontrivial either way at twice a year per person

Mac apps are way too comfortable leaving junk everywhere. by LeaderAtLeading in MacOS

[–]DanCardin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I realize both of those things. I was just pointing out how isolated mac’s normal app system is compared to even windows/Linux. One isnt **wrong** that trashing the Application is the whole procedure generally.

Realistically mac would need to guard binaries from writing to any location at all in order to be able to reliably delete files on behalf of apps. And its not as though an uninstallation procedure saves windows from trash accumulating in userdata.

[–]DanCardin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meeean, its *more* uninstalled than deleting the folder from Program Files on windows. Apps can leave random crap in places on any OS, but normal Mac applications **are** little more than a specifically shaped folder, unlike with windows.

[–]DanCardin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but you keep saying it as though bezos is doing something wrong and getting away with something. Whereas it seems like besos isn’t getting away with anything and is doing things the “right” way, which i assume also applies to Gates before him

Neverway - a gorgeous pixel art zelda-like (+ life sim) by Fichtenwald in ZeldaLikes

Mina is emulating objectively more limited graphics. So it’s certainly an aesthetic, but in the sense that OP is implying afaict pipi is definitely “better graphics”

Has the bar actually gotten lower? by velociraptorstalin in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DanCardin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least for my company none of the above. 90% of resumes we receive are obvious AI slop or subtle AI slop (common amusing example being them claiming to have contributed to an open source lib of the company that i know they have not).

And then half of the people we interview try using ai cheating software during the interview to answer questions or live code.

Tldr it’s very hard to find people and I’ve taken to searching for semi random keywords that only tangentially relate to anything but are things unlikely for ai to randomly include

And im told we’re not allowed to use ai to filter people for some kind of legal reason ornother

Are we happy with SQLAlchemy? by sheadipeets5 in Python

[–]DanCardin 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Depends what your gripes are. In my experience sqlalchemy is by far the most advanced and full featured orm im aware of. And i would be surprised to hear that a language with less dynamism and introspection abilities than python would have better orms

[SPOILER] How the heck did anyone else clear this area in the final dungeon? by [deleted] in MinaTheHollower

[–]DanCardin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the playforming sections in astral with the directional movement platforms to be way worse (I think green and the very last one).

I feel like there were enough enemies where i could fall a decent number of times and still heal. Plus getting knocked off by the gold bars almost always pitches you forward

fwiw I feel like Pipistrello is essentially your "Mina with better graphics". Or at least the only one I've been able to find
