  • I don’t think it’s diminishing the work of the Yuzu devs, but more so a strong belief in the capabilities of the open source community. They worked their asses off and are extremely talented, and I’m sure there are others who will hop in and carry the torch.

    I’m also curious if there’s a programmatic way to circumvent the argument Nintendo made about bypassing DMCA by separating the emulator from the code that utilizes the keys such that you can use tool A to bypass DMCA, and tool B (Yuzu with game decryption removed) to run the circumvented game. In this case tool A already exists, and tool B could be a fork of Yuzu.






  • This feels like when the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers combined to make the Megazord.

    I’m cautiously optimistic because despite their solution being simple in nature it will still take a fuck ton of work and community effort to get the proposed Protonfix DB going. With that said I have no doubt this will be awesome once it’s completed, and I cannot wait to try this out! Stuff like this makes me wish I was a systems/OS dev and not backend/API/cloud.





  • I feel the exact same way, except that id recommend it for many of the things you’ve criticized it for. The gameplay loop is pretty unique, and the build up to cooking every night implements a level of strategy to the preparations you have to make leading up to it including what fish to catch and how you invest your money.

    The game feels all over the place, but in a really good way. It’s not just a repetitive, “fish, cook, repeat”. There’s a million random ass things that get thrown into the mix which is a complete 180 compared to most games made now. It’s good because it doesn’t really follow the traditional rogue-lite formula that we’ve come to know. It gives off the feel that the developers created the core game, (fish, cook, repeat) and then along the way took a bunch of, “wouldn’t it be cool if we did x” idea they had and threw it in there to mix the game up. It’s a super nice game to play while relaxing as the stakes are low, the story doesn’t require immense focus to follow, and you’re ultimately just fucking around under water as on overweight diver named Dave.

    It feels a lot like a game made for those that don’t play many games, and I think that’s why it’s doing so well.




  • 2.7 oz is a stupid amount of K2 (synthetic cannabis).

    It’s already a ton of natural cannabis. If you cup your hands together, that is about one ounce of weed which will keep you fucked up for a while. Now imagine 2.7 times that, and since it’s synthetic cannabis it’s way stronger.

    Edit: To be clear I don’t think weed should be illegal, and South Korea has draconic drug laws. I use it myself, which is how I know that 2.7 oz is a lot of weed.




  • I have a Pi 3B+ I run qBittorrent, Plex, ProtonVPN through Wireguard, and a Samba share on and have had 0 issues. It’s connected to a 2 TB external SSD which is where the Plex media library lives and coincidentally where qBittorrent downloads to by default wink wink. I also have a P2P VPN called ZeroTier that allows me to securely connect to the Pi from anywhere. You should be golden with a Pi 4.

    I’ve had zero issues even transcoding 4k BluRay content, but it required adding active cooling to prevent the Pi from overheating. Thankfully you can get a tiny heatsink and fan for under $10.

    Edit: Accidentally said RPi 5 which didn’t exist… Fixed.


  • There’s a subset of artificial intelligence called unsupervised learning which is a form of statistical analysis in which you let an agent find patterns in data for you, as opposed to trying to drive the agent to a desired outcome. I’m not 100% sure that is what the website author was using, but it sounded pretty close to it. It’s extremely powerful and not anything like the generative LLMs most people now think of when the words AI are thrown around.

    I agree though, it sucks project got killed it seemed super interesting and insightful.
