I’ve thought about switching to Technitium but dealing with network tools is a whole can of worms I don’t want to open up again until PiHole or Unbound shits the bed on me lmao. PiHole’s working just fine for what I need it to do.

I finally finished my unhinged marathon of the entire Yakuza franchise that started when Infinite Wealth launched. At the time I’d played all the games up to that point but never really went for 100%, but that game’s platinum was so easy and the nostalgia bait in the second half of the game both made me want to replay all the games and go through spinoffs that I hadn’t played yet.

Right after IW I went back through the mainline starting from 0 (followed by the Kiwami remakes rather than the originals, but we’ll get there). Burnt out on 5 which I’d argue is the actual most tedious plat in the series, but got back to it a few months later, then breezed through the rest just in time for Pirates (which was certainly a game of all time…).

With the mainline out of the way, I replayed Judgment and LJ, finally played through Kaito Files for the first time, and then started working through spinoffs. I also got through the original PS2 games twice each - once in English emulated just to experience them, then again on the Japanese HD port on the PS3 for the trophy list. I still have nightmares of the 20 Home Run thing for Y1. Dead Souls was actually fun, Kurohyou 1 and 2 were fantastic games but incredibly grindy (and buggy) for 100%. Ishin’s plat wasn’t actually nearly as bad as people say. Through in Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise for good measure. Finally, got through Kenzan for the first time and its completion list with the help of way too many translation guides.

So, all that being said, at the time I was satisfied with achievement lists for games that had them, and completion lists for those that didn’t, but a handful of games don’t actually require full completion lists for plat (off the top of my head I think 3, 4, Dead Souls, 6, 7, Gaiden, IW, and Pirates). So I said fuck it, run it back and wrap them up.

About a year and a half later, I could say I’d just about 100%'d the entire franchise. I think the only thing I didn’t do was the Haruka’s Trust bullshit in games that didn’t require it.

I will add right now that I’m NOT currently planning on playing Kiwami 3 due to the Kagawa situation and just how the franchise is being handled in general. I’m happy calling this my stopping point if they don’t recast him.

In general it really does depend on the interviewer. I was honest and open about how my new manager at my last job fucked over the team and myself, with specific details, and it led to good conversations during the interview process for the place I’m at now.

Because this list is almost entirely made of and written by AI slop lmao

Really depends on the instance. Most lemmy.world subs are cesspools. Hexbear and the like tend to be much better overall.

A lot of these people are so lost that they genuinely believe anyone can become a billionaire if they put in the work. Propaganda machine go brrrr

When I first set up my server this year it was a VERY easy decision between this and jellyfin. Why would I ever go with the corporate, closed source option?

I set this up a while back (and recently moved to Forgejo, see the update note at the beginning of the article):

https://nickcunningh.am/blog/how-to-automate-version-updates-for-your-self-hosted-docker-containers-with-gitea-renovate-and-komodo

Probably a tad overkill honestly but it works amazingly well, and turns every potential upgrade into an approval process so nothing will update when you don’t want it to.

Their usage is basically just the same old machine learning that’s existed for ages, long before the genAI bubble started. They really should avoid the buzzword for accuracy’s sake but it’s far removed from all the LLM generative dogshit.

I started using the same one after this weirdo started trying (and failing) to doxx me for like 3 months. A bit pricy but they definitely work. Tried looking myself up a couple months in and I couldn’t find shit.

It definitely feels a bit uncomfortable giving them all the information they need to do the job though I’ll admit. It makes sense, but I can definitely see why people would question if they’re legit. I think I researched for hours before going with it just to make sure it was real.

Though spam calls have definitely been a nuisance again this past month or so.

Retconning basically every character death retcon they’ve made in Yakuza over the years, and making Pirates completely non-canon because what the fuck

I’ve been eyeballing this, doesn’t seem too difficult for most compatible models either. Might be a little after Christmas project

Both because the dishwasher in our apartment sucks ass and always leaves like 5 things that need to be redone by hand.

This one’s wild to me lmao. Like yeah I get how it’s not everyone’s taste but the game was getting 10/10’s across the board, and of course discussions are gonna die down 2 months after it launches when most people who picked it up at launch finished it by October.

I legitimately feel like ER is one of FromSoft’s weakest titles. It doesn’t come close to the DS trilogy for me, and unironically I feel like Nightreign is a better game in the same vein, as the faster paced sandbox works far better for the fast, clusterfuck bosses ER is known for.

Oh this looks promising. TS + Gluetun does tend to be super slow, so routing just the outbound traffic through the chained VPN is excellent. I’ll give this a try this weekend.

Back in my competitive smash bros days there were so many cliques like this, bizarre ass community. Lots of people superficially loved them but the minute you start to actually get to know them the manipulation and narcissism became immediately clear. That community fosters so much dogshit tbh

I’ve just accepted it for now while I pray they work on updating it to officially support anything that’s not keycloak lmao

I made the switch a few months back. Manually migrated my files over using the desktop apps for both, but it was maybe 200GB of junk so it didn’t take long.

OpenCloud is great. Much faster, much simpler, does what it needs to do. That being said, it is very new so documentation is lacking, and the desktop and mobile app are VERY basic (the mobile app doesn’t have a dark theme and only offers a limited photo sync right now, for example, instead of setting various one or two-way synced folders).

It’s also worth nothing that their compose file and OIDC support are both a mess. The compose file is easy enough to work around, plenty of folks have put together cleaner, minimal single file setups. For OIDC, I did get it working with Authentik but it loves to constantly log me out mid-session in Librewolf all the time. For some reason they use a hard-coded clientID for OIDC, and even worse the ID is different for web, desktop, and mobile. Very bizarre.

So it’s far from flawless, but it’s early in development and overall it’s still a better fit for me than Nextcloud.

I haven’t used Mumble since like 2010, looks like it’s still the exact same tool as it ever was, and that’s honestly all it really needs to be. Love to see it
