None of them have anything to do with feminism though, except maybe #2.

COVID-19. 😏

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB in c/technology

FS 2020 reportedly already used 2 PB of data as it's base. Good luck downloading that!

Yup...i can confirm that in c/[email protected]

It is absolutely fine to mix tabs and spaces in Python, as long as you are consistent about it. It's not recommended though, as it's easy to mess up if you're not paying attention. Most IDE's will convert tabs to spaces anyway so it's a bit of a non-issue.

So what are #FreeBSD folks doing for multi-node, high availability file systems? I looked at #Gluster, but that doesn't work. I'm starting to look at #minio, but it's an S3-oriented API. in c/selfhosted

Object storage (the S3 API stuff) is the most logical answer here, it's much simpler and thus more reliable than solutions like Gluster, and the abstraction actually matches your use case. Otherwise something like an NFS share from a central fileserver works too.

But I agree with the other comment that you're trying to do kubernetes on hard mode and most likely with a worse result.

Is there is any lemmy Android client that support notifications? in c/[email protected]

Thunder has experimental support, haven't tried it yet though (says it costs extra battery)

(Opinion piece) Hello, PC gaming here: Are the consoles OK? With sales dropping and confidence declining, how close are we to the end of consoles as we know them? in c/[email protected]

Don't forget that games are significantly cheaper on PC, especially if you wait for the first sale (which'll come much quicker on PC). The upfront cost is indeed higher, but depending on how many games you buy you'll probably recoup that cost within one console generation.

The First Dune Game 32 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective in c/games

Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he's using! 😂

Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?' in c/[email protected]

30% is the cut only if the sale happens on Steam itself. Devs can sell keys through other means and Valve gets 0%.

What are the default permissions for / and /boot on Arch? in c/[email protected]

Good on you for getting it fixed. One of the reasons Linux is a great OS in my opinion is that everything is in the file system and not in some arcane hidden thing. So every problem is solvable without a reinstall if you're motivated enough to figure it out.

Not sure what you have against minimum wage, it works well in other countries (I'm from the Netherlands). Obviously it doesn't solve everything by itself, but it's definitely a valuable part of a range of measures to treat people fairly. It's a fantasy that everyone can be educated to a level above minimum wage.
