Yep, as a metal head who loves to play along to his favorite songs, this is the next frontier I want!

Sadly same here. firefox ran FoundryVTT poorly in the browser, like 12 fps, on Linux. Chromium had 0 issues with it, 60 no problem.

Ahhh this takes me back to playing on various private UO and DAoC servers. Part of that experience is why I am a developer today. Cool name for a project like this along with the art!

I agree with your assessment, as a full stack dev with CS degree that just kinda waltzed into Salesforce for the last 5 years. Claude is more capable at delivering the customizability that Salesforce tried to offer with it's "clic

Right, there's always room for the "exception" in startup land. But majority will fail right? For me personally, it just wasn't worth the risk to jump, especially given this surge of AI right now. Also, already working a

I had an interview request from this company, which I declined after taking a look at the premise. Somewhat glad I did now

That's fair, I've had similar experiences working in other stacks with it. And with some niche stacks, it seems to struggle more. Definitely agree the more narrow the context/problem statement, higher chance of success. For t

Agree with this. I'm a software engineer that has mostly not had to manage memory for most of my career. I asked Opus how hard it would be to port the script extender for Baldurs Gate 3 from Windows to the native Linux Build. It outlin

It's 2025, not 1995 or even 2005. Installers for apps like this are tiny for cloud storage today. Cloudfront's recent flat tier pricing would even probably do the trick. free tier is 100gb data transfer a month, 1m requests. If th

Yes - why are these adjectives even coming up at all? There are alternatives that would probably make your point in a succinct manner without being sexist.

Moonlight is great, but be careful about overestimating how fast video decoding is. I would get 10-40ms additional latency, jitter doing moonlight from tv, vs running it on Linux on my mini PC homelab hooked up to the TV, my decoding/n

++ for the LG homebrew community. The homebrew store literally has an app now that will auto refresh your dev token so your TV doesn't go out of devmode and uninstall all of your home brew. Used to have to setup a cron job to renew&#x2

All my random open source contributions/projects I think have helped. Especially since I've been working in a niche like Salesforce, it really gives me a leg up to show that I've built stuff in nodejs, c#, etc. The other gain

I dunno, I feel like I can be transparent with my manager when we ask each other that. I think it depends on your relationship with them and the company culture.

I worked at a company that used Proofpoint. Often had to reach out to get emails out of quarantine, etc. Have you tried contacting the customer and asking them to have their IT team allowlist you? Had similar issues with Yahoo/AOL.

This is the same company that put out a local dev server for their frontend stack and let it rot into an unusable buggy mess 2 years later. They are planning to re-introduce it in 2025. Ive been using MS copilot successfully for Apex (Sales

Maybe it's time to finally try the Linux desktop. I mostly game hobby wise, and proton is in great shape nowadays.

I've played wow on my steam deck, in addition to Warcraft 3 remastered. Blizz games are definitely doable now for the most part.

Agree with this. I'm fine with companies that make profit while still providing "free" knowledge/diagrams/software. Valve's contributions to proton/drivers has improved Linux gaming potential, even if you

Languishing in ignored obscurity is fine for the stuff I open source. There's no expectations but it's not hidden from anyone either.

I'm glad they mentioned Steam Deck! I figured there would be a healthy bump from that.

I also fell into my first programming experience with DAoC! I worked on fixing some very simple bugs/exploits on an emulated server (C#) back in 2005. There's a ton of fascinating stories coming out in the last decade around hacki

I think it's unrealistic for someone to post "evidence" in this case. Not worth the risk of doxing/etc. Think all we can do is take people at their word, or explore the market ourselves and get data from our own experien

Ha! The hex/exe patch! Had to do the same thing. This issue also sent me down the path of downloading cutter and trying to reverse engineering/interpret the .exe.
