Comment on BeagleBadge by BeagleBoard in ~comp
Pavouk106 Link ParentWell, that is quite well priced in my opinion. The hardware combined on it would likely be priced at at least double if you were to get it separately.Well, that is quite well priced in my opinion.

This could be problem with Mint or with Cinnamon or both or neither. This is the thing with Linux - it might just work or it may not no matter what you try.
But I'd say there is (almost) always some solution and you found one for your problem. It may have been a bit drastic, but it works.
Myself, I use MATE. I used Gentoo for a looong time and switched to Arch recently. Those are quite knowledge-requirements heavy distros but they do give back. But I stumbled upon some things that worked great on Gentoo but doesn't work on Arch that well. And there are things that work better on Arch...
It's like neverending cycle :-)

Comment on Railway solar project turns unused track space into energy in ~enviro

Why do people make it hard when there is so much space available to put panels? Why on roads, walkways or freakin' railways? Put them over open parking lots, FFS! People will get cooler cars and the panels will live there happily ever after without any hardly any maintenance needed!
Wait, I know why people make it hard. They get all the money from all those who junp on it and after a few years they just say the project didn't go as planned while keeping the money.
EDIT: If you don't want to watch videos - there are vibrations on the rail tracks anfd guess what solar panel doesn't like? What about clening them? It is quite dirty on the tracks. What about changing faulty panels? You would have to stop everything on the track to exchange it.
In videos Dave points out there are roofs in the vicinity that could be used for solar panels, no special technology or maintenance required and possibly better angle against the sun as well. Even railway stations have roofs and could have pabels on them! And then there are those parking lits which should be the first to get solar panel covers. It would be cheaper, cover bigger area (thus higher power) and serve another point (shade for cars). We don't have to build solar roads and other nonsense, we could use technology of today on buildings already constructed for cheaper and higher power output.

Don't think you ended up with "just a minesweeper type game". Almost everyone I know wouldn't be able to put together a game.like yours. One thing is to put it together, another whole story seems to be to publish it. And you went through both and ended up victorious!
The game might seem like easy one, but I really like it. It is easy enough to casually.play, it doesn't need network, doesn't have ads and is user friendly. If only there were more such games. I would even pay for such games as I understand there are people behind them.that have to eat and pay the bills. Speaking of that - do you have Paypal or can I send you a few bucks some other way? You definitely deserve it! PM me details.
And back to your post - I also think big in mayn ways when I think about some project. But big projects are hard and lengthy. It's good to cut them in dmaller pieces and work on those and only then put it all together. Maybe even have some time in between the small bits. Or maybe do a few smaller projects firat to get all the necessary experience - not only technical experience, but also time management, burnout prevention etc.
I say you did great. There are not that many people who could pull this off and you did it. Thanks and congratulations!

It may be a bit harder on hardware, but I suppose Tildes is so small that it could run fast on Raspberry Pi - the performance cost for these queries would be negligible at this size of site.

Each year we hold memorials of liberation by mainly US and Belgian armies.
History and army enthusiasts form camps and convoys and travel around the region stopping at various towns, speaking with locals, taking part in laying down flowers at memorials. They eventually gather in Pilsen, capital of western Bohemia to celebrate liberation. There are war veterans each year attending this "festival", one might say, including discuasions with locals. Their lines are getting thinner though after 81 years since the war ended. The culmination point is Convoy of Liberty - convoy of historical army vehicles driving down a few kilometers of the main street through the city sometimes with Czech Air force fighters or WW2 planes flying by. Thousands (maybe tens of thousands?) people attend - the city has population of 150 thousand people, just so you know.
And I'm writing all of this becaus I'm going to Pilsen this very day to have a look at all the army camps in the city - the enthusiasts live there throughout the celebration just like US, Belgian (and others) soldiers did when they liberated the region in 1945 - historical tents, uniforms, kitchenware and everything. And people can go through the camps and speak with them and enjoy the atmosphere - I can imagine it may have been a bit like that at the end of the war.
Western Bohemia was liberated mainly by US army, Soviets liberated the rest of the country - just wanted to add this to avoid confusion.

They are great games, I'd even say better than modern titles in the series, but they are so hard to get into!
If you'd like recommendations for character build for Fallout 1, then I would say small arms and speech are mandatory. Late in the game energy weapons will dominate, but there will be time to switch (once you have small arms over 100%, start building up energy). You don't have to have strong character as there is something that helps with this late in the game. Better put points into other aspects - agility (more AP), perception (better shooting and I believe also traps or even dialogue options), endurance (more HP per level), intelligence (more skill points per level). There are options to raise some of the attributes late in the game. But you probably can't make chafacter that would suck so much to not be able to finish the game, so don't worry too much.
Character for second Fallout would be build like that too, but you may actually try cold weapons or melee from the beginning and soon transform to small arms and later in the game to energy (laser is crippled a lot in this game though). Speech is even more important as it opens up quite a lot of dialogue and thus doors for you. Once again, there are options to raise the attributes late in the game.
For both games - there are no leveled enemies. There are simply zones of map where you don't go until you are ready for them. Or you go there and die, simple as that. There is no autosave and only 10 positions to save the game. You can say that your decisions are irreversible - and there is so much of those!
Fallout 1 is quite short. But 2 is much much bigger. If you can go through the first one, you have tonplay second. If you are gonna have a favorite from those two, it will be Fallout 2 simply because of the sheer volume of the game you get.
One hint: Fallout1 - When Brotherhood of Steel sends you to the Glow to bring back something of theirs, save the game before you leave BoS and don't overwrite this save until you are back with the thing.

I participate throughout the whole year. Since I got my Steam Deck, actually since I got Switch Lite, I play only one game at a time. This ensures I don't add games to backlog and actually I finish the games I had for a long time. Since then I finished for example Witcher 3, Oblivion, Fallout 1&2, all Syberias, Borderlands 1&2, Final Fantasy X and many others.
Right now I'm still playung through Borderlands 2 DLCs and I won't be done with the game even after those - I will replay on higher difficulties (game modes).
I atill don't know which game will be next, but there's time for that.
I'm still playing Borderlands 2, more specifically DLCs on standard difficulty (not True Vault Hunter mode). I played the game on PS Vita and now I play on Steam Deck. It's the first time I see some of the DLCs.
The game still has it. It is fun and it is funny. I love the RPG meets FPS mechanics of the game, I love the art style and I love that it makes jokes even about itself. They made it so much iver the top.
I suppose everyone here knows about Borderlands games, thus I'm not going into much detail. If you want to know something, just ask.
Currently I'm around 80 hours in with one major DLC remaining and sone minor not done. I have ayed using one character so far. If you wanted to get everything from this game, it could possibky become 1000 hours game (multiple characters + True and Ultra Vault Hunter modes on each of them).
