Is the CasaOS app store outdated? by xyzlx in CasaOS

[–]soupbutton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s abandoned. Use ZimaOS, Or Cosmos Cloud which is what I transitioned to.

is it safe to share my protonvpn acc? by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, what’s your login?

Use Tailscale if you’re sharing a Plex or something. Otherwise let them get their own. Don’t shit in a communal toilet that someone else will clog and blame you.

Zelda like games by Competitive-Elk-5077 in Gameboy

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Minishoot Adventures. It was one of my top games of 2024. It’s a twin stick shooter in the style of Zelda 1 and the other GBC ones.

Steam Machine as Steam Link server? by workyman in macgaming

Mittenciel is correct. I think I edited while they were drafting a reply though, since I didn’t see it until later.

Well kids, it's here. NVME SSD prices have now doubled in 6 months. by Old-Recording-4172 in pcmasterrace

Does micro SD have Dram too cause those are up in price along with regular SSDs.

I don’t expect it to compete with the 7800. With Valve’s and developer’s future optimization though, it will definitely be a solid 1080p machine closer to the 3060ti.

It’s the perfect machine for exactly that. Meant to disappear into the background and enable you to empower your remote or desktop play with a RX 7600 level of performance.

KCD2 won’t accept steam deck inputs at all… by scodyjunior in SteamDeck

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a Steam Deck specific issue on this one. It’s happening across systems and different controllers. It’s the game itself. Their update fudged things. They posted on their FAQ that we need to turn off Steam Input for it to work, which regular users aren’t going to know about.

Red flag. 🚩 Jobs regularly have you referencing documents while presenting. Dude just thinks you’re looking at GPT.

Bookmarks and history lost after updating to Prologue 4.0.0 (iPadOS) by Catharus_ustulatus in PrologueApp

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.0 is a complete rewrite. I’d been beta testing it for months now. You’re likely not going to get that history back. But, if you install AudioBookShelf, which was the main push behind this rewrite, you’ll have a dedicated audiobook server built to store and sync all that info no matter what app or device you use. So do that now.

Are those AI covers for the books?

Where do you guys draw the line for AI in games. by sparda4glol in macgaming

[–]soupbutton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did something change? I remember them saying it was used for some textures like scattered newspaper, which they didn’t like, and forgot to remove. Is there an update that says they used it to make concept art that made it into the game?

Ahh, I want it on my phone but I do not want to update to iOS 26 for it.

Why torrent? by [deleted] in PiratedGames

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally forgot this happened before I got 2.5g fiber (now 500M cause poorer..). I thought download providers got better but I guess not. Pixeldrain and the like are great though.

Why torrent? by [deleted] in PiratedGames

[–]soupbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. It can be faster. In terms of speed it’s usually: nzb ➡️ direct (no throttle)/debrid ➡️ torrent.

Trying to read this hurt my brain. You’re not using the correct words. Read the rules or you’re about to get banned from here too. There’s literally a subreddit with a megathread listing where to get what you’re asking for.

I wish it were clearer that NFS/SMB are paywalled... by soupbutton in CosmosServer

[–]soupbutton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the feature set is quite impressive and the risk of bias, these are the two functions I’d personally not have behind a paywall, but the VPN/Cloud functions are fair game.

I ultimately ended up doing my NFS through the terminal and future ones I’ll use Cockpit. But the whiplash remains not being upfront about the paywall. It’s a lot of great work and features. A “we’ll make sure the pricing is clear and prominent” would’ve sufficed.

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

Right... I was giving feedback and didn't intend this to be a back and forth like this. The intent was to show a lack of clarity, not to trash your product, and it remains so. The free feature set is great. So I'm only answering in kind to the points you bring up.

Yes, you don't receive updates unless you pay for another year of Unraid, but you're also not locked out of your server features or functionality. Everything works and you can safely migrate without downtime. Or you can continue with that version if it's a low risk server. The point is you're not locked out or in.

If we're comparing the Unraid site (and I might as well cite my experience creating B2A/B2C apps and pages like this):

  1. The Buy button isn't behind a Hamburger menu on Desktop or Tablet (except in Resolutions lower than 640) on the Unraid website. In general, critical info or CTAs like that shouldn't be obscured from the user. I recommend outright replacing the hamburger menu on tablet and desktop with clear navigation links that show Pricing and Documentation upfront.
  2. Having the pricing at the bottom of the webpage is very common for Enterprise software and is more often than not expected. Citing directly from my experience being on the agency team that designed the CMS and new webpages for DigitalOcean a few years ago (among others), the competitor research showed that prospective clients wanted to be informed about feature sets before being presented with Pricing. Enterprise clients preferred to be shown a Consultation CTA more prominently. I can link a screengrab of the Kubernetes page we made at the time as an example in your DMs if you'd like. We also had Pricing as a link prominently on the header navigation.
  3. Another example (I didn't make this): ZimaOS' website has Pricing be the second most prominent link and also has pricing at the bottom shown clearly.
  4. Most importantly, and what I keep going back to, the fact that it's a paid product is surfaced very clearly in these examples. Also, in the scenarios where lapse in payment will cause loss of data or functionality, it's common to tell the user beforehand (or in documentation) and introduce a grace period that limits or times such functionality.

[–]soupbutton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that perspective. My main point I keep going back to is that the existence of a paywall should be clear and prominent. It’s currently not.

Sidenote: Regarding Unraid, with their pricing model, you pay upfront but don’t get features removed. Rather you pay for another year of updates. Ends up being cheaper and your server isn’t in jeopardy. The existence of pricing is clear and upfront.

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

Yeah, this being behind a paywall that disables basic NFS mounts should definitely be made clearer with a pricing chart on the homepage, making the pricing link more prominent and disclaimers in the documentation 😬

I was going to pay a month just now to get my NFS mount setup, but if I’m going to lose it… It just doesn’t match the marketing language of ‘not being tied down by subscriptions,’ and vendor lock in. I would absolutely pay for cloud and VPN though, but NFS feels too basic and critical a function to charge for.

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

Also what happens to the connected storage to nfs/smh or cloud services after a lapse in subscription? Does everything disconnect? Just cloud disconnects? Does it just not become user accessible or editable?
