I don't quite see how this project made you use a Bitcoin to pay for the Pyra, instead of using a (in-the-long-run way cheaper) loan and keeping the Bitcoin.

Thanks y'all. For a moment there I thought, it might be a dumb idea to spend money on a gaming PC - 't would be either inconvinient or a hazard. Consider me corrected. Though, I put the project on hold. Cannot find a motherboard that wouldn't mean to compromise. The Zen 4 (or is it AM5) just...

Thanks. That didn't even occur to me. I guess, one could setup that on tty8 there's another login screen on boot. Assuming Artix (no systemd, instead runit for instance) + KDE Plasma + X server + pipewire, could one expect that having two users logged into x sessions on separate ttys would work...

Didn't mean it like that. I just imagined, I'd need to have a script or modified runner for each game. Though thinking again, you probably meant starting the manager (e.g. Lutris) as a separate user. ?

Even when the game in question wouldn't make use of the whole thing, one would at least save some energy on overhead avoided. :) FTFY The most sensitive would be the keepass db, which I do back up. The next would be running processes, that have access to email and other accounts, decrypted...

Yeah, read that in the arch wiki article on Wine. As described there, I'd put it in the category tinkering on a per game basis? A semi-automatic - once set up properly - way to make sure games run as different user and still sandboxed regarding fs, on separate x server would sound great. A...

Yeah, maybe I've got a little worked up over battle.net. Still the bigger question remains. How to box in the games one runs in a consistent somewhat easy to maintain and to use manner? I guess, one could always just only use games in a vm or on a separate machine even. Or one could craft a run...

I've been out of PC gaming for 10 years now, due to the PC I concocted back then crashing when stressing the GPU or the PCIe interface. Never figured out why and couldn't sent the core components back for analysis, since I bought those from more than one shop. So since then I only played on Wii...

I see what you mean. I'd argue though, those companies are small in numbers, those reduced in their freedom are big in numbers. Very few get to be very free and very many get to be much less so. Sounds more like feudalism than freedomism.

Is it still called The Land of the Free?

He's saying, before there were fast paced markets of smart-everything people had more money to spend on computer parts.

They probably just haven't heard of email and client-side calenders, yet. Tell 'em!

DHL has pack stations all over Germany. Although I don't like registering, I eventually did so to be able to explicitly have packages sent to a station close to me, which was nice. But at some point they made it necessary to use their app for this - not if you had it delivered to your home...

@PowerGod I just don't use services that'd require of me to use proprietary apps (beyond driver blobs that is). What made you give in?

Then I don't get what you mean. The first iPhone couldn't do anything, other things before it couldn't do. They just combined phone and general purpose computer in one package.

Nah, I'm working. Stuff needs getting done before the convention in Southampton.

;) But what exactly are you saying? The tech in smartphones hasn't been conceived yet?

Indeed it has, several times actually ;) They are extremely wasteful, i.e. immature. The issuers of such phones or there parts - well almost all of them - are utter control freaks, which manifests in hard- and software and clouds and whatnot, which makes its user unfree to a significant degree...

Mature? Fuck off!
