The CEO said they were going to add pay-walled subreddits at an earnings call.
So... Yep.
I know for me, at least with gnome, toggling between performance, balanced, and battery saver modes dramatically changes my battery life on Ubuntu, so I have to toggle it manually to not drain my battery life if it's mostly sitting there. I don't know if Mint is the same, but just throwing out the "obvious" for anyone else running Linux on a laptop.
Found a blog post that gives a quick overview of how to do git via email in general: https://peter.eisentraut.org/blog/2023/05/09/how-to-submit-a-patch-by-email-2023-edition
So at least from my understanding you'd make your changes, email the contents of the patch to the maintainer, and then they'd apply it on their side, do code review, email you comments, etc. until it was in an acceptable state.
There's also the full kernel development wiki that goes into all the specifics: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.16/process/howto.html
(I never got through the whole thing)
I'll also throw out: aging infrastructure, build systems, coding practices, etc.
I looked into contributing to the kernel - it's already an uphill battle to understand such a large, complex piece of software written almost entirely in C - but then you also need to subscribe to busy mailing lists and contribute code via email, something I've never done at 30 and I'm betting most of the younger generation doesn't even know is possible. I know it "works" but I'm really doubting it's the most efficient way to be doing things in 2024 - there's a reason so many infrastructure tools have been developed over the years.
The barriers to entry for a lot of projects is way too high, and IMO a lot of existing "grey" maintainers, somewhat understandably, have no interest in changing their processes after so much time. But if you make it too hard to contribute, no one will bother.
I'm surprised by Helldiver's. Has there been some performance patches? I tried playing that on my deck near launch and it really struggled even at minimum settings - I can't imagine how it would run at higher difficulties.
Artist is apparently Bruce MacKinnon.
Wouldn't this be the equivalent of the mob mailing their own finger?
Out of curiosity, what switch are you using for your setup?
Last time I looked, I struggled to find any brand of "home tier" router / switch that supported things like configuring vlans, etc.
Maybe I am not thinking of the access control capability of VLANs correctly (I am thinking in terms of port based iptables: port X has only incoming+established and no outgoing for example).
I think of it like this: grouping several physical switch ports together into a private network, effectively like each group of ports is it's own isolated switch. I assume there are routers which allows you to assign vlans to different Wi-Fi access points as well, so it doesn't need to be literally physical.
Obviously the benefits of vlans over something actually physical is that you can have as many as you like, and there are ways to trunk the data if one client needs access to multiple vlans at once.
In your setup, you may or may not benefit, organizationally. Obviously other commenters have pointed out some of the security benefits. If you were using vlans I think you'd have at a minimum a private and public vlan, separating out the items that don't need Internet access from the Internet at all. Your server would probably need access to both vlans in that scenario. But certainly as you say, you can probably accomplish a lot of this without vlans, if you can aggressively setup your firewall rules. The benefit of vlans is you would only really need to setup firewall rules on whatever vlan(s) have Internet access.
I loved the original Hades, but I played it after it left Early Access.
It's going to be really hard to resist jumping in early with Hades II.
Out of curiosity, what content are you looking for? Discovery on Lemmy can be a problem, but sometimes the communities are there and even active, just buried.
But may I also suggest searching by Top Day/12-hour/6-hour to see the most active posts. Lemmy's scaled algorithm still doesn't get it quite right IMO.
