I believe the steam version lacks any IAPs.

That’s a fair a good point!

I’ve switch between iOS and Android, but good news on one of those you can set your default browser now on iOS.

Glad I’m not the only one. I was reading the article and then the Mastodon thread and thought I was crazy for feeling like Lori was at least just as bad.

My original plan was the 7600 non X but they seem to be about the same as the 7600x with a thermal assassin. Unless I’m just failing to find the better deal.

Awesome! That certainly seems like the one to go with in my price range. Cheers!

Have been looking at building a rig since I got my launch Steam Deck and things seem to have come together at the right time to build something nice. I’ll be looking at beefier PSUs. Thanks!

Oh good catch! Picking a case has been tough for me, just so many interesting options.

[–] aclarkc@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

Thanks! I’ll check the sizes to be sure on the GPU and case.

Appreciate the comments. Good call on slickdeals for the monitor. I’ll look at PSU options with higher wattage. I think the cooler should be sufficient, I’ve seen mention of people using it with the CPU, but like the PSU could be a point of future proofing.

Check out Orion! Firefox and Chrime add on support.

Edit: Also like Vivaldi. If you want device wide I can highly recommend NextDNS

Looking to build something to target 1440p, would prefer to stay AM5 for future upgrades. Have gone micro ATX because of space constraints. Only really tied to the CPU/GPU combo, so if I’ve missed the mark on case, mobo, etc I’m open to suggestions. My big question is picking a suitable 1440p monitor, would like to keep it under $250 and not sure which direction to go.

Appreciate thoughts and advice in advance.

I’ve considered trades even with it being a full 180 from what I do now. Seems like location can vastly vary the experience. Build the base and bones of what society runs off of seems interesting though.

 

What careers don’t get enough credit for being fulfilling, acceptable pay and a good work life balance?

 

I’m using a dedicated PC running Ubuntu and using CasaOS manage the applications I need. I’ve been able to get Nicotine+ and other clients installed without issue but curious if folks have a setup that has just Soulseek going through a VPN? I don’t think I want 100% of my servers traffic going though the VPN (namely Plex), and would like to have Soulseek on this box so all my music stays in one place making it easier to share. Open it alternatives here.

I guess the broader question might be, how are people using a VPN with Soulseek, while also sharing files from locally hosted source? I could put Soulseek on another machine with a VPN but then it wouldn’t be able to see the local only shared folders.
