Unless I am mistaken this won't work: does default apache 000-default.conf vhost redirect traffic from 443 to 80 ?

I wish the regular HNers who have a beef with Signal would make a webpage or something with their points, some eli5 and their sources. They fuck up every Signal threads and are vocal but even if they are right their mannerisms and holier-than-thou attitude and "don't you know that ?" mantras is really getting old.

Won't you run into the problem that you will have to generate torrents every time you update your music collection ?

~15Gb is out of the small VPS territory, especially if you want to use for something else (talking from experience, Matrix will eat space to store avatars and CPU cycles to do its thing ; which is fine, just not maybe compatible with the cheapest VPS out there).

Just found out about github clones today. It threw me off.

At least for SO you can get back to SO to search but github issues search engine is something else.

Sarah Kendzior (and most likely other journalists from that time) mentions this in her book Hiding in Plain Sight: 9/11 changed the news, it shifted from print to the web because the web could update faster. Newspapers websites were no longer outdated copies of the print.

Of course that brought about a whole lot of other consequences.

Not a hardware thing but I bought the witness, the game, and I have been using it as a kind of safe place.

Ah, I remember trying the Flatpak version of steam but the performance difference was huge (Dead Cells and the dishwasher - vampire smile) with the Steam version of the official site but it was two years ago with an HD4000. Now that you mention it I also remember not wanting to deal with DS controller setup (for games that need it).

I'd have to do some testing with Talos (vs windows version) but I think that The Cave runs smoother now.

I looked a bit and:

> I guess your videocard does not support Vulkan. Open game properties, Betas tab, switch to "legacy" version. Beware, it will download several gigabytes from internet. Legacy version has support of OpenGL unlinke modern one, which uses only Vulkan.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/257510/discussions/0/16409152...

But this option is behind a beta and I need a code to activate it (what ?).

edit: Digging a bit more https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/6/17422272...

This did the trick:

    apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

It now runs. I only did it because you lured me into it though :)p. My point still stands ^^.

I am on Kubuntu 18.04.

Quite frankly I don't expect much from gaming on Linux regarding ease-of-use and I am okay with that. I am sure all those games could run but when I want to play a game I don't want to fiddle with config files so I either boot a console or reboot into windows. It's been my experience for years that ubuntu/Linux isn't as versatile and as accommodating as windows regarding gaming but it doesn't mean that those games couldn't run with a bit of elbow grease (they most likely would but it's not pain-free).

I always try to stick to Intel IGP because I read (and I suppose it's still true) that they have the best support for desktop usage. I don't want to fight nvidia or ati drivers, I don't even know wwhich's the darling of gaming GPU for Linux these days. Been there, done that.

Good for you.

But I re downloaded it and it still doesn't work: https://postimg.cc/TygMLfX8

Something's off but I chalk it up to beefy config and some specific games. None of my games run on my laptop (hd 520 igpu) I can play games like the witness on windows, hl2, the cave, the talos principle, portal 2, dead cells, etc. and none runs easily on Linux. Except Dott and kentucky route zero.

I am reading this post on my laptop, in bed. In my grand parent's house.

There's a bedside lamp next to the bed and the bulb is at least 30 years old. Two generation of children have used that bedside lamp to read stuff at night or walk to the bathroom.

Meanwhile my LED - whatever the brand - are failing between 6 months and two years.

Yep, I can see how beginners or god-level guru could turn that into a thousand characters one-liner.

Just to be clear:

> OPINION: One month after creator and leader of Google+, Vic Gundotra, quietly quit, Google chief Sergey Brin told a conference audience last week that involvement in Google+ was "a mistake." He made the exact opposite statement in 2011.

Whose involvement are we talking about here ? Brin, Gundotra or Google ?

> If only someone could have stepped in and course-corrected Google+.

>

> Oh, right. Someone could have.

>

> The same someone that just told the world, "heh, oops" and walked away to go retreat back into himself, and play with his cars.

Is that someone Brin (who could have and has plenty of money to buy cars) or Gundotra (who could have and left the company a month ago - with enough money to play with cars I suppose) ?

(sorry for hand walking me but the style is confusing me)
