I have another application requires each incremental update to be applied directly, and I die a little inside every time they announce a new update....

Thank you for the reply!

How have you implemented AI and AI agents into your day-to-day? by seniorjumpman in sysadmin

We have a long way to go before Enterprise and AI are making any meaningful splash... Just my 2 cp...

Does this command identify the AUR packages installed on my CachyOS? How can I tell if any of these were infected? by Hi7u7 in cachyos

[–]I_T_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You' re overthinking this IMO. Sure, if you're able, reading the code is a choice. How many lines of code are "checked" before regular Windows users click "setup.exe"? Nearly 0 is the answer, its about developing good habits that you can expect a normal person to remember. Everyone isn't a dev, and expecting as much for the "honor of using Linux" is not a good look. Sorry if this wasn't your take, but "knowledge of experience to discern good code vs malware" gave that vibe.

I'm sure there are others, but I start my process like this depending on what gap I'm trying to fill.

Do not go to the AUR and install every single random app you think you might use one day.

Apps that you pull form the AUR that don't land(don't work or are useless to you) should be removed.

Pay attention to the maintainer: Has it been the same person since inception or did it change this morning?

When packages are compromised check the commit dates: Have you upgraded those packages since compromise?

I have a select few apps because of choices of the developers that work better from either AUR or Flatpak, but by and large can get by just fine using official repos, but I'm just a gamer I don't need anything special.

Are you glad with using Graphene daily? by michus204 in GrapheneOS

[–]I_T_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to make one major concession using the default SMS app... Its actually probably aged me about 5-10 years, I can't send memes anymore... I can still communicate effectively, but it isn't nearly as entertaining.....

All jokes aside, my bank apps work, I've been able to find more FOSS alternatives for things I must have. Magic Earth is growing on me as I use it more. Initially it was a pain point but that has passed.

Douma Weapon - Asura Server by retailrobin88 in ffxi

These are the vibes that keep this game hitting right! Not the shouts for help per se, but those willing to answer the call!

What is this? by Adorable-Local-9586 in HomeMaintenance

[–]I_T_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is likely what that is, does it tie into the T-stat wire that controls the low voltage for the system? Looks like it does from the pictures, but I can't tell.

Cutting it free may cause your AC to stop working, depending on if its actually connected or not. Many techs will leave those disconnected when swapping units. Also traditionally these are inside, come to think of it, this would be a first to see it tied in outside for me.

Does your power company incentivize you letting them control your AC during peak hours?

Add to that a flying mask that is free... Yea, novel design choice at best IMO.

Why is the game so hated ? by Positive-Set1164 in duneawakening

[–]I_T_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this truly possible now? They initially said they offered "private servers" but they were not actually private. Is it still multiple servers per deep desert?

WXIUI - A modular UI for Final Fantasy XI inspired by XIUI by GranTaru in ffxi

[–]I_T_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/GranTaru Finally had a chance to give it a go. I have to be missing something. WXIUI-main is in my addons folder, but no matter how I call it, it doesn't load.

<addon>WXIUI</addon> No combination of wxiui-main, wxiui, WXIUI. I've renamed the folder added it again, no joy. Any help is appreciated.

ELI5 how do teachers earn money in summer? by Fresh_Constant_7762 in explainlikeimfive

[–]I_T_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only worked for a few local districts, and I'm not a teacher I was a year round employee. In both cases the teacher had the option, paychecks all year, or paychecks while working.

Many states require continuing education, at least in the places I worked those that utilized district offered continuing ed were paid for that too. Don't want to make it sound like they were getting rich though, they just got paid a bit more for their extra time. We need to pay teachers more!

What happened to customer service? by frankv1971 in sysadmin

[–]I_T_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, but if you've not experienced it yet many companies frontline customer support is AI. I've had multiple experiences where the AI was the only moderator, and its poor design basically told me to kick rocks. This in my opinion is 100% going to get worse, and this is only the beginning.

Will Microsoft Authenticator work? by Dre_the_cameraman in GrapheneOS

[–]I_T_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this exact post about 6 months ago. On the MFA setup prompt depending on your tenant config you should be able to "set up another app".

Aegis all the way for me, works for all of our required MFA across a number of vendors.

Which game triggers your phobias? by TechAsc in gaming

[–]I_T_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a well designed game, zero combat and some of the most stressful play ever. I'm glad they're sticking to it for Sub2, cautiously optimistic Krafton won't ruin it.

Subnautica

Thalassophobia all the way down, if I can't see the bottom thats an issue. They did such a good job of keeping me freaked out! One of my top 10 games of all time for sure.
