So… the Netflix show is nothing compared to the original story. Sure, it’s got the plot points and a lot of graphics visualizing the game. But it also melds characters together and makes a poor show of the storytelling. Plus, knowing the showrunners, I wholly expect them to shit the bed even more somewhere down the line.

I read the books and watched the Chinese version and the tv show did a splendid job of visualizing the details, the ethos, the characters. Worth a watch, even if trudging through the subtitles was a drag.

I just kept two fingers over the middle of the image and that covered what was meant to be folded 🙂

It’s mildly funny. The latest one, for example, about the Phillips. That cracked me up!

Yeah, I guess my mistake was that at no point did I read anywhere that it’s a reimagining. If I had, I would have set expectations accordingly that it’ll be exactly what it is - a horribly mangled version of the original.

Also, have you seen the one season of the original that was made by a Chinese production house? It’s available freely on YouTube. Yes, it’s wholly in mandarin. But it is soooo good!

Yes. Anything wrong with that?

No, the books do have some western characters.

Yeah, I expected more from Netflix. Giving it to Dumb and Dumber sealed the deal for the show being horrible.

Lack of any similarity to the original characters of the story.

More reasons to ignore this shitty reinterpretation of the epic book series! Showrunners really destroyed the original story.

I was gonna say it was full of the French, but this is a much better pun!

Hmm. Lofi enough solution. 😆

what are mesh von ips?

Oh, you mean e.g. always using the tailscale IP? Sure, I can do that. But it sure would be a pain since at home I use the .local domain very comfortably...

 

Folks,

When I’m at home, I’ve got Heimdall setup to let me into my applications easily.

When I’m away, I use tailscale to get into my home network. But I end up having to put in the URLs of the applications manually.

What options do I have? Do I setup another Heimdall instance with all the URLs as tailscale friendly?

Is there another dashboard solution out there that maybe takes the base URL of the dashboard and uses that to build the URLs of the applications?

So if I go to home.local then all the apps point to home.local:port and if I get to the dashboard using home.ts.net, then all the apps become home.ts.net:ports

Any suggestions or recommendations of dashboards that do this?

Hey team,

Years ago, SO gifted me an Alienware Aurora R7.

It has an Intel I7-8700 and Nvidia GTX 1080 (8GB VRAM), 16 GB of DDR 4 RAM. (what else is relevant to this question?)

My question to you is basically this -

Given that I'm not gaming with it anymore, I want to use it for only two things -

  1. Plex Server
  2. Running random local LLM stuff like Kotaemon (https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon)

Let's say I have $1000 to throw at a GPU and I'd like to get 16 GB VRAM (or 24 if it's possible). I want to install it myself rather than take it into a shop.

What's a GPU I can buy that will fit,

  1. within my budget?
  2. within the chassis?
  3. with the CPU and motherboard without issues?
  4. with the needs I've detailed (namely Plex transcoding, and running ML models)?

I am an absolute noob when it comes to figuring out what hardware to buy (hey, we got us an Alienware sucker here).

So lemmings, help me out! I'd rather not ask ChatGPT.

 

I love PiHole. I've used it in the past and it was powerful! I also use an OpenVPN/Wireguard based VPN.

So is there a service that combines the two features? Lets me import adblock lists and also VPN configurations?

Preferably something that runs in a docker container that I can throw upon portainer and running within minutes!

Thanks!

 

So, I installed Palia on Steam Deck. First, it failed to start till I chose to run it with Proton Experimental.

Then, the problem I’m running into - I want to log into my account. But every time I select the email/username field and then bring up the Steam virtual keyboard, the form field loses focus. That means I’m typing and nothing is getting typed.

How do I fix this? Is the only option to use an external physical keyboard?

 

I just saw the ASUS handheld in the wild. It was running some FPS game pretty well.

Can anyone help me compare the two - Steam Deck OLED vs comparable ASUS version? Which do you prefer? Pros/cons?

I’m almost decided to buy the Deck OLED, but seeing that in the wild made me pause. It looks nice.

 

Hey folks, I wanna gift a steam deck to myself. The main games I’ll (infrequently) play on there are CS:Go and age of empires 2 HD, both of which I own and never get a chance to play on a regular PC.

I suppose I want the OLED one. Is it ok to go for the 64 GB version or should I go for the higher storage tier? It has expandable storage yeah? Or is that not reliable or fast enough?

Also, what’s going on with the pricing? It’s just obviously better to buy direct. Why are people trying to sell it on Amazon? I get people trying to sell on eBay and Craigslist but Amazon? What’s the deal there?
