Doom: The Dark Ages is introducing big changes to combat because id Software came to one core realization: "Every projectile mattered in the original Doom" by ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

The thing is, id Software has landed in this medieval war against Hell not out of convenience but out of a need to change the fundamentals of play. To return to where Doom became legend two decades ago.

I have bad news for the author of this article regarding what year it was two decades ago.

I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project by ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Why? I've heard this for years at this point, but as someone who rarely uses snaps because they're the only convenient option for software I'm using, I'm generally ambivalent about them.

People seem to hold really strong opinions about snap but I've never been able to get a straight answer, just a bunch of hand waving.

What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. (www.cnbc.com)

Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

...

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It's ok! Don't ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we'd have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

Why does everyone swear so much in The Witcher 3? by ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[-] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Gotta wonder how many people are down voting because they think the title is moralizing, when it's anything but that.

There's nothing like going for a nice long walk around the world of The Witcher 3 and meeting some of the locals there. They say the nicest things. "Sod off, you misborn clod," a guard will tell me. "Got so fucked up once, blood came out me ears," a chap at the docks will announce. Or if I'm really lucky, "Go fuck your mums tits!" What a world to live in.

The thing is, I love this about the game. Being scolded by the ruddy-faced inhabitants of The Witcher 3 has long been one of my favourite things, ever since I first played it eight years ago.

I made a thing! A python script to delete old, unwatched movie/tv content from Sonarr/Radarr/Tautulli. (update) (github.com)

About a year and a half ago I posted a script I made for deleting movie content in your library not being watched. Folks really seemed to like it, and I still get comments on that thread every so often. So I've updated it!

Far and away, the two biggest requests I got were:

Make it do TV, too
Make a dry-run mode
Edit: Added just now: a protected mode when you volume mount a protected file!

The code is now available on github here:

https://github.com/ASK-ME-ABOUT-LOOM/purgeomatic

Even better, no installation is required. You can run it as a docker container like so:

docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py

It now supports TV series as well. Thanks to a suggestion from /u/JimLahey-, I was able to get my head around the idea - I had always thought of managing TV shows as "collections of seasons" of media, but the reality is, if nobody has watched anything related to a TV show in a while, the whole thing can go! And that's what this does:

docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.tv.unwatched.py

No more editing python, either. Create yourself a .env file, set up all of your config, and even enable dry run mode, so you can test to your heart's content:

$ docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py

Can you recommend a service or container for doing disk analysis and reporting failure conditions? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 year ago by ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhost@lemmy.ml

5 comments fedilink

I recently stood up a new file server using ZFS on linux. I'd like to automate the disk checking in such a way that I can essentially ignore and have a service notify me when SMART or other indications are hitting failure or pre-fail levels.

I'm not looking for a fancy GUI or web UI - a plain old config file would suit me just fine. In my ideal world, it would be a container I could simply spin up with minimal configuration, but I'm willing to give anything a try.

I definitely noped out of a sci-fi audiobook (can't recall the title) a few minutes into one. And I hated the one Expanse book that was narrated by Erik Davis - it was like listening to a robot.

Getting stuttering playback on a Roku 3 when Direct Playing some content (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 year ago by ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works to c/plex@lemmy.ca

0 comments fedilink

I've recently upgraded my Plex instance to separate out the storage side and the compute side. In general, I couldn't be happier - the compute side is a little HP prodesk with a quicksync-capable CPU, and the results have been phenomenal.

I have one user who has been complaining about stuttering playback when doing Direct Play on a Roku 3 (2015). When they switch to transcoding, it works perfectly. The only time I've seen it, it has been doing a direct stream of MKV -> MPEGTS for the video container with a transcode of DCA 7.1 -> Stereo audio.

Bandwidth is not the issue and they were the only ones streaming at the time.

Do you think the Roku choking on it somehow? My 2017 Shield TV can fully direct play it without issue.
