Okay, Triple-A. What is one advantage or genuine improvement that Triple A has done on gaming in general that isn't just "yet another change to make things more realistic"? Asset streaming, huge worlds, hell the Nintendo 64 can do it.

We have so much computing power available on your mom's Dell Pavilion she uses at work that is just not even used to its full potential, just for the sake of "number go big" because Nvidia or AMD or Intel needs to sell more chips.

My computer has a Xeon E3-1220 V3 with 16 GB of RAM I do Gamedev, work development (with Rust AND C++ cross-compiling to both Windows and Linux), embedded development (ESP32), 3D modelling on Blender and more. Its Firefox with multiple tabs + YouTube running for music, VS Code, and whatever toolchains/compilers I need, on a dual monitor setup (fair its only dual 1366x768 but still two framebuffers) And I really need to push the computer through hell to make it stutter.

Why the fuck does gaming needs that much compute? What the hell are the devs doing that a fucking 6600 XT, which is a absolute behemoth with 2048 Cores and 8 fucking Gigs of memory struggles with?

Hell, I've made a fucking Dreamcast, which is a console from 2001 have 1:1 Parity with a fucking Linux game I made using Raylib with a full blown 3D 6DOF(6 Directions of Freedom) Flight racing game, loading and generating 3D geometry and calculating physics on the fly in runtime And that fucking thing predates the whole concept of graphics pipelines and shaders, it only has a PVR.

Even a 6600XT is so overkill I have a RX 580 with a DDR3-era processor, and most games run at over 60 FPS, hell Elite Dangerous run fine at 80-85 FPS

I really struggle to understand why that much compute is needed for gaming It just comes as wasteful for me

So, let me get this straight. You came into the internet, on a community that's focused on gaming, and it's sole topic is games And then complain when someone posts news about a petition related to gaming? Because people aren't talking about.... Homeless people and free food... In the gaming community?

Have you forgot your meds when you woke up at morning? If you want to talk politics, go to a politics community.

I use ~/.local/bin since by linux standard, ~/.local is a user-level /usr/local, which is a override level of /usr

~/bin ends up cluttering the home folder

I still don't get it, like, why tf would you use AI for this kind of thing? It can barely make a basic python script, let alone actually handle a proper codebase or detect a vulnerability, even if it is the most obvious vulnerability ever

"They can't run servers forever!" Open source the server then Let people who want to play it run it themselves then

No, it's a steam item miner

EDIT: to explain, clicking the banana gives you random "Steam Inventory" items, that players can sell on the marketplace The entire thing is just money laundry

Dunno, asked my 4 years old brother for 10 random numbers between 0 and 100 throughout a whole week, most of them were 6, 28 and 50 Funnily enough, there were only 1 number above 50, which was 52... I guess he figured out he was saying too much 50

Disable password authentication on SSH

Enable firewall and block all ports you're not using(most firewalls do this by default)

Switch to a LTS kernel(not security related, but it keeps things going smooth... Technically it is safer since it gets updated less often so it is a bit more battle tested? Never investigated whenever a LTS kernel is safer than a standard one)

Use Caddy to proxy to services instead of directly exposing them out

HTTPS for web stuff(Caddy does it automatically)

For a moment I was really confuser as to how Caddy could replace nodejs's package manager

It may limit stuff for a more technical user But for common folks? It makes it reliable, a lot reliable

Self-hostable servers, this way if their datacenters go down, game is still playable
