No worries. I used to do the same thing on KAT forums. I like helping people find stuff

This is something I've struggled with. I read a lot of trending books in high school like Hunger Games and Twilight but ended up reading 50 Shades of Grey to the end and it honestly turned me off of reading for a while

I'm not the fastest reader so it really seemed like I just wasted a lot of time

Locally to a file?

Should be similar on most Linux distros.

Google Authenticator is good. The only downside can be keeping multiple phones so you have a backup. I don't know if there's something similar on iOS but on Android Aegis is an open source alternative that is compatible with Google Authenticator and lets you locally export your codes

Can you mount them? If so what does that look like?

I can't say I blame them when it comes to going with what's comfortable.

I used Windows and Linux while in school so it's what I got used to. Whenever I use MacOS I feel incredibly lost

 

I've started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they're a little slower paced.

Many might be shocked at the controls. I do agree with the obvious point: "Why include a right analog if it cannot run any systems that would use it?"

I wonder if that's to make people think it's PSP compatible on first glance or if they've given legitimate thought into some people preferring a stick over a D pad or maybe even the homebrew community.

I like your post by the way. You have a decent amount of information and said what the system can likely run

Can you tell us some fun facts or stories?

It likely depends instance to instance due to how Lemmy is federated. You may want to try browsing some small communities that you enjoy and seeing if they want an extra mod.

I imagine a lot of the time they don't feel the need to actively looking for one just yet but if the community sees a surge in people that might change in a hurry

I haven't come across a general community for it though to answer your question

I saw a comment once that said they are like sharks in that they can smell fear.

Depending on your graphics card there seems to be several ways to crop the screen to your liking. I would look into those. I think there are several posts on Reddit about people going about that.

 

I feel like I heard a lot about it a year ago during its release but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

I get that it can play cartridges which is neat but is the accuracy of emulators these days that far off? Even if that is the case it seemed like a lot of people were hyping up the Analogue Pocket's jailbreak and ability to play games off of an SD card.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts and if there have been any developments in the community.

 

I imagine a lot of flashlight enthusiasts have death with this. I've found it's less an issue with D cell batteries and more AA and AAA.

My family did secret Santa every year with a $20 limit so it was typically gag gifts. One year a family member was sick on Christmas so we just left our gifts piled up in a closet.

None of the gifts had tags because it was all supposed to be anonymous so when we handed out gifts the following year my great grandma ended up unwrapping a box of noodles shaped like penises.

 

I played all the GBA games as a kid because I was dumb and thought it would be somewhat similar to the PC release. I still had a lot of fun with them. I really enjoy the quirkiness of them.

If I had to rate them it would be

  1. Urbz

  2. Bustin Out

  3. The Sims 2

I played a bit of Urbz for the GameCube and I feel like it has to be the worst of all Sims console ports.

 

Pretty basic question but I am struggling to find the words to get the correct search result. The soldering iron I bought came with very narrow tips that I think are supposed to be used for circuit boards and components.

When I attempt to solder lines from a USB cord together the line never gets warm enough.

I remember in the past soldering copper lines together from an appliance with no issue so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in terms of technique but who knows?

 

From my understanding you can run into issues when you have a combination of ports being forwarded and some other issue like SSH enabled on a Raspberry Pi with default credentials but I feel like I'm missing things or misunderstanding port forwarding.

I don't know if, for example, a computer connected to a network running a dated version of Windows is a risk simply because it is connected to the network. Even if it isn't being used for things such as web browsing.

I'm more concerned about remote threats versus local ones like someone having access to my WiFi password.

 

Coming from an Xbox 360 it took me a while to adjust to the stick placement and their convex tips so I was surprised to see that PS3XPAD allowed me to easily use a 360 controller. Since then I've even used Logitech controllers as well that share the same driver.

The only issue I've come across is with games that use montion controls. I went through the entirety of The Last of Us without charging my flashlight.

Unrelated but Nintendont (a program that allows you to play backed up GameCube games on your Wii) also allows you to do something similar and use PS3 (and many other controllers) on your system.

 

I wanted to give Usenet a try so I installed NZBGet and found a provider and indexer. That said I don't know if I should edit any security settings even if I don't have port forwarding enabled on my network. I've changed the default username and password and I'm connecting through a VPN but that's about it.

Real new to this so my concern is knowing enough to mess myself over.

Any other tips would be appreciated as well!

I was wondering why people pay for index sites until I tried looking myself for example.

 

I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn't have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn't cross back and forth between the two platforms.

The communities these bots are posting to seem to have a low amount of subscribers and with the flood of content it seems a bit like a ghost town. Almost like subscribing to the RSS feed of a subreddit.

I'm not up in arms about it. The posts are being made by only a couple of bots into subreddit specific communities (ex. AskReddit) and Lemmy gives you the ability to block communities so this isn't really showing up in my feed anymore.

The only possible issue I could see in the future is if Lemmy communities tried to link with a subreddit's. For example an instance's pc gaming community with /r/PCGaming.

I'm curious to hear how you feel about Reddit content automatically (or even manually) being posted here.

 

I'm playing on PS4 and am looking for games to play in 2 to 3 hour chunks after work.
