That’s literally what I’m saying; It’s fine as long as there wasn’t any unwritten data in the cache when the machine crashes/suddenly loses power. RAID controllers have a battery backed write cache for this reason, because traditional RAID5/6 has the same issue.

Maybe with a docking station that gives USB3 breakouts you could hook up something like an Icy Box stuffed with hard drives and have a little file server:

(Not too sure about the bandwidth though, just an idea lol)

Data Display Debugger?

Thrive seems very interesting! Annoying though that it requires the M$ dotnet bloatware to build and run it.

Also I wouldn’t classify LSD Revamped as FOSS since it’s made in Unity.

Some more that I forgot about:

Warzone 2100 - Futuristic RTS

FreedroidRPG - Top down Isometric RPG

Pingus - Lemmings clone

FreeOrion - Turn-based strategy

Naev - Space exploration RPG

Wesnoth - Turn-based strategy

PySolFC - Card game collection

OpenRCT2 - Clone of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, also supports RCT1 scenarios and assets, easy to mod and has online multiplayer support.

Augustus - Fork of Julius which is a clone of Caesar III. Augustus aims to add/change stuff in Caesar III, while Julius is just a clone of Caesar III made from scratch.

0AD - RTS inspired by Age of Empires 3.

FreeCiv - Libre clone of Sid Meier’s Civ.

FreeCol - Libre clone of Sid Meier’s Colonization

Unknown Horizons - Anno-like RTS

Probably just libs from other instances browsing the “All” tab.

How’s the performance compared to other filesystems? Last benchmark I’ve seen it performed pretty poorly compared to btrfs.

I had a drive where data would get silently corrupted after some time no matter what filesystem was on it. Machine’s RAM tested fine. Turned out the write cache on the drive was bad! I was able to “fix” it by disabling the cache via hdparm until I was able to replace that drive.

BTRFS RAID5/6 is fine as long you don’t run into a scenario where your machine crashes and there was still unwritten data in the cache. Also write performance sucks and scrubbing takes an eternity.

It’s just amazing to find an interesting project with no docs and a small README that contains the words “Join our Discord”. Even better when they also have a website that they don’t fucking utilize.

For reference the oldest card I have that Vulkan supports is an RX 560 that I bought in 2017 (I’m on GNU/Linux w/ amdgpu and the RADV mesa driver aka. “The Default”). Most medium models on it run at around 6 - 10 Tokens/s. Some crawl to below 6 Tokens/s though and become slower the longer the answer they output is, probably because parts of the model is in RAM since that card has “only” 4GB of VRAM. Models that fully fit in VRAM are a lot faster.

I always find it perplexing when people around my age from the US are talking about technology that I still consider as current and use regularly as if it’s this ancient artifact from times gone by that some people have nostalgia for lol.

If only they made it in Source Engine instead of UE5. I tried playing this earlier via Proton and even with some tweaks, all the fancy graphics stuff turned off and everything set to medium/low it runs at a somewhat choppy framerate and has massive input lag :/

Thanks for reminding me why I don’t frequent hexbear much.

I’ve been playing through Augustus/Casar III off and on. I’m currently stuck on Procurator. I like a lot of genres, but my absolute favorites have to be RPG and RTS City Builder. But only the ones that are more complex, where the player has to manage the economy, plan production lines, allocate labor, etc…

I don’t really care about AAA games (anymore) but whenever I feel like it I’ll watch TGA out of curiosity and because I find the cringe funny.

Not really anticipating anything in particular for the next year. If somehow the new FNaF game turns out to be decent I might get that, but judging from my personal experience with anything post FNaF6 I don’t have any hopes or expectations. EDIT: I’ve been hearing some rumors online that apparently new Half-Life game is in development. If true, I’m really looking forward to that.

Sounds like classic troll behavior.

Based Unbound. Great DNS software.

Based. Fuck Apple and their iShit.
