Oh man. Let me tell you about what I saw from the Roku I got back in 2020 or so.

I got a pihole before or shortly after my Roku. The PiHole showed my most blocked device being… the Roku. Almost over 4000 DNS requests denied, especially after I fully blocked them on the PiHole because I got tired of their ads being shown when all I’m turning the damn thing on for is Plex/Jellyfin.

They don’t like that one bit! Get this, for the time to be accurate, it MUST have connection to their servers. Not just once, mind you. Every day I leave my house, I turn off things, the Roku being one of them. I turn it off by turning off the extension it is plugged into. Every time I turned it back on, it would just show the time you cut it off at. So, if it was 8 AM when you turned it off, and it is now 9 PM, well, the clock on the Roku would still be around 8 AM.

So, yeah. Now, I just use my Steam Deck as my watching device, hooked up to the dock. Added benefit of not having to “sideload” (read install) a YouTube IPA onto my phone. Fuckers.

One thing I dislike about Linux for real is that some people are saying it boots up just fine out of box, and others (like myself) can’t even get it to run at all. Ugh. Thank you for your comment though!

Thank you! I will look more into EndeavourOS. :-]

Thank you for the comment!

I won’t lie, when you said something about SELinux it reminded me of my horrible time with AppArmor the first time I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed. I think you may be on to something here with this SELinux thought. I think it is possible, but my memory is not always reliable, so I will ask for posterity sake, can AppArmor/SELinux not be installed on my openSUSE Tumbleweed? If I could do that, without any major drawbacks, I would just reinstall Tumbleweed and call it a day, as I do like mostly everything else about Tumbleweed. :-]

Hi, I just recently made a post and it was about Crimson Desert and me searching for a distro that doesn’t need any extra hassle for the game to get going. I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, but moved back over to my Windows SSD to be able to play the game.

My question is: What distro are you using and is it an AMD or NVIDIA card? :-]

I figured it was. I also tried out the newest GE-Proton (10-33 I think?) and it also wouldn’t start the game so I gave up and went back to Windows for now.

When other newer games came out like Esoteric Ebb or the Oblivion remaster/remake, it played just fine on openSUSE. It’s just one of those pain points that will generally never go away I suppose? :-[

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t. The game is Crimson Desert, which is a singleplayer only game. :-/

Yeah, after the initial cleaning up of the algo (tell TikTok you’re not interested in whatever you don’t want to see) I had nothing but a good experience on there. I, like you, stopped using it once the buy out happened.

Like adding big boobies on to the Nazis?

/s :P

Made me chuckle in these dark times. Cheers!

Thanks for this recommendation! I just bought one! :-]

Gotta get that agenda through!

Glance is the most used feature on Zen for me. Everything else I like Firefox for more, but that damn Glance feature really helps me when doing research or looking into things! I NEED it for Firefox! :'(

Damn man. Technology kinda fucking sucks now. Everything I use is imploding in on itself. Yay!

Thank you so much for this information! I will see what help I can provide if I can!

I mainly used them to find unmodified games, especially useful for ROM hacks where I wasn’t bright enough at the time to make backups.

I only needed it every so often when I was looking for a niche game (Gregory Horrow Show, anybody? lol), so to know now that if I come across a game or ROM hack I’d like to try, my search will be just a bit harder.

I could leave the PS3 stuff for someone that cares a little more, but everything under the 360/PS3 might be doable.

Link for those interested.

Until next month…

Yes, oh my god at the times they would bring you out of the Animus for some shitty present day story that wasn’t nearly as interesting as the in Animus story!
