in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

given that the Xbox app on their own OS is so unpopular (where Steam thrives) it's hard for me to imagine an Xbox handheld that takes people away from Linux handhelds (assuming it doesn't support Steam games). I think the primary market would be people already in the Xbox ecosystem



It's hard to say this, but science (& research more generally) is just being **stopped** in the US right now. This is just one university, losing nearly a billion dollars in project funding pretty much overnight. That's people's jobs, and the research that could save lives.

I have experience in frontend and backend web dev, linux sysadmin, and some systems engineering. I also held leadership roles for the past 10 years. I'd be open to anything that fits my skillset, preferably remote.

Re:REI, I followed the union's call to withhold my vote from all the board-approved candidates.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

I'm at a Geeat Lakes Alliance of Cooperatives retreat this weekend. I'll mention it at breakfast announcements and spread it among our network.

On REI, I tried but got caught in the minimum purchase poison pill the board put in place. Since then, I've made a purchase, so I'll be able to vote next time.

๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› Open Source Fueled The Oscar-Winning 'Flow'
โ€”@itsfoss

๏ฝข Blender's Cycles render engine was essential for achieving the movie's realistic visuals. Its ability to handle global illumination and realistic lighting helped Flow stand out visually. This flexibility allowed the production team to capture minute details, from tiny water droplets to expansive landscapes ๏ฝฃ

i love blender but that did not look like it used cycles, but evee - I'm not even really sure what they would get out of using cycles for such a non pbr look they used during the film

i enjoyed Flow but surprised it won an award tbh, the animation was basic for 2025 with a lot of things, like the water for instance not being simulated or rendered particularly accurately or in a stylized manner

Lawyer by day, dinosaur by night: Meet the man who keeps Dolores Park weird


On a summery, 70-degree day at Dolores Park, Trevor Mead walked out of his apartment at 20th and Dolores streets at about 6 p.m. and started making a lap around the park.

But heโ€™s not just any pedestrian. A data privacy lawyer during the day, in the evening, Mead slips into his 6-foot-tall, 7-foot-long illuminated dinosaur costume, turning Dolores Park into Jurassic Park. โ€œThis is how I deal with my day, with my life choices that led me to become a lawyer,โ€ he said jokingly.

In his dinosaur costume, his (big, reptilian) legs stomped comically on the ground with every step he took. The dinosaur, named Doloresaurus, radiates blue light around its contour, against the pink sky, moments after sunset...

Hi @Michael ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ,
thank you for your quick view at my log-excerpts.
So i will give Uberspace-support a try.

Anyway during the last weeks i noticed lots of reports related to high load and database-problems.
From time to time i had to call dica.interfel.de twice to get an answer. These days libranet.de always needs two or three calls to get any result.

@Michael ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ You've been right and it's up again now.

What about this

, i mentioned above?
It looks like my instance is looking for an account, i am not following, and creates a DB-Error several times a day.
