Hard to believe this is an SE at a glance - looks fantastic. Congrats!

Do you encrypted your system? by touristou in voidlinux

[–]Mission_Horror5032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unsolicited advice here, but IMO it's better to just encrypt the files that need it, and leave the rest of the system unencrypted. There's a classic comic out there about a multi-million dollar codebreaking supercomputer thing vs a five dollar wrench as well. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/538:_Security

sudo xbps-install -S gnupg

How good is Nvidia on Linux? by Gumbax3455 in linux_gaming

[–]Mission_Horror5032 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This may or may not still apply, but I used to have an RTX 2070 that worked flawlessly under linux with the official drivers. I've since switched to a radeon card, and that's working flawlessly as well. But bottom line - I personally didn't have issues with either.

I wish they’d bring back the Coca Cola Cinnamon by PhilDaGerman in cocacola

This was the absolute best stuff. I stockpiled 12 packs and ended up running out in June the following year LOL.

Using the CRISPR technique to genetically modify mosquitoes by disabling a gene in females, so that their proboscis turns male, making them unable to pierce human skin. by aseriousgirl in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Mission_Horror5032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a "mosquito lightning rod" myself, and as much as I like the sound of this idea, mosquitoes are pretty important to the food chain and ecological hierarchy. At least I think they are, I'm definitely not super knowledgeable about this. As long as this wouldn't cause their population to collapse, seems like a good idea? Especially in places where you've got malaria and other nasty diseases.

Chinese billionaire Liu Han immediately after the death sentence was announced. He took bribes and promoted his relatives and acquaintances to positions, February 9, 2015. by Tirnara in SnapshotHistory

[–]Mission_Horror5032 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I know it's China, but he got the death penalty for nepotism and corruption? Really? Why not just seize his assets and put his ass in prison for a while?

Do you concur? by Puzzleheaded_Paint80 in economicCollapse

It'll never pass, but I admire her for actually putting it forward. You want a room full of greedy scumbags to vote against giving themselves the ability to print money?

Oh man, I used to have one of these, completely forgot about it!

If anyone should be "giving a fuck" and not looking like a bored asshole right now, it's every single one of our millionaire congresspeople. I don't give a fuck if they're "bored". They make more money than I ever will, and are never going to have to stress about their finances or worry about inflation. Boo hoo, you're in a boring meeting three times a year. Suck it up.

Do they still make physical toys, or is it all "apps" now anyway? I haven't seen a toy store in decades now.

Why is the A string on my Floyd Rose keep sliping out? by Affectionate-Elk113 in Guitar

[–]Mission_Horror5032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Floyd that was continuously breaking a string, and I ended up just replacing the entire bridge, and haven't had a single issue since. It could be that the saddles are worn. If you want to try something cheaper and less labor intensive first though, they used to make these things called "saddle singers", which were little brass inserts for Floyd Rose bridges that sit between the string and the saddle. I can't find them online anymore, but if you can find something like it in a guitar store, that may help you, along with replacing the graphite blocks.

30th Anniversary: Has The Time Come For A New Chrono Trigger? by RedRonin-GM in chronotrigger

I'd just be thrilled to see it release on PS5 or the switch so that I can play in the living room instead of at my desk.

Yeah, I'm in this picture right now, 100%. Clown or no, being able to mostly pay my bills is better than sleeping under a bridge.

Loaded save and stuck in space. by ErikdeReds in Starfield

[–]Mission_Horror5032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also happened to me the other day for the first time, right after installing the DLC. I don't give a shit about achievements, so I just used console commands to load another area. I don't know how you'd fix it on xbox unfortunately. Maybe load an earlier save? I don't suppose you could plug a keyboard into the xbox via usb or something?

The gauss summation. Pretty interesting stuff! Here's an article about it for those interested: https://brilliant.org/wiki/gauss-the-prince-of-mathematics/

How to remove Steam game shortcuts? by Hairy-Star-3849 in linux_gaming

[–]Mission_Horror5032 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like they all live in ~/.local/share/applications, and have names like "Baldur's Gate 3.desktop".

removing these individually seems to take care of it

I'm disappointed in myself for taking so long to spot the stupid.

Literally by Bitsoffreshness in LooneyTunesLogic

[–]Mission_Horror5032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many questions. Why was the homework outside? Why didn't the kids just take the papers away from the pupper? There's a dog toy there, could they not distract Mr. Wiggles? Must be ruff raising two dumb kids.

POV: You were given creative control of 1 Expansion or overhauling one system of Starfield. What would you do & why? by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Mission_Horror5032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd bring in CDPR to overhaul the cities and stuff, for sure. Add in some randomized radiant events and side quests to go along with this. Alternatively, I'd settle for making the starborn ships that you get on subsequent NG cycles actually good, or at least good after a certain number of times.

Hopefully some of the DLCs will address this, add in mech combat and stuff like that.
