They play wrong.

I feel that. A few times I had to stop the stream and play the game better myself.

What the fuck, bruises and not being able to sit for a few days. That's way worse than what I envisioned from the beginning of the article.

A centuries-old tradition in Germany's Borkum where young men hit women on the buttocks with a cow horn using cow horn during the Klaasohm festival will be discontinued.

With a cow horn using a cow horn? Sounds like a difficult thing to do, holding a cow horn with another cow horn. I'd have assumed the coefficient of friction would be too low.

pfSense would be a better choice than OpenWrt

I heard pfSense had a hard time with wireless radios, and that's where OpenWrt shines comparably. Is that not true?

Packet loss occurs when a router has to drop some packets because the buffer to store them is running out because the link where they are supposed to go is overloaded.

Bufferbloat is the issue where you make your queues too deep, i.e. you allocate too much RAM to buffering, while the cause of the buffering still exists, so the deeper queue just fills up anyway, so you haven't improved anything, and have induced extra latency on the packets that do make it trough.

Deep buffers can help in situations where you have a step down in link speed, but only bursty and not sustained overloading of the slower output link.

The big bottleneck in router hardware is more about TCAM or HBM memory used to store the FIB of the global routing table. Since the table has grown so much the devices with less high speed memory can't hold the table anymore, and if they start swapping the FIB to normal memory your routing performance goes to shit.

So not all of your concerns seem to apply to this class of device, but of course you're right, The Register should have mentioned the RAM.

what can I do on the LAN when the internet gateway is down

Access your NAS from your workstation or your media PC.

Can confirm. I've seen this on multiple boards. I think this was Asus nomenclature.

Depends on which instance you use for your client, I would say. For me only discuss.tchncs.de gets to see my IP address, and Milan Ihl, our admin, as well as his Lemmy server, are in Germany.

This means two things:

• You can shop for a location of home instance that you deem Nintendo-safe
• Nintendo would have to multiply its legal efforts many times over and through different jurisdictions if they wanted to get all users of a community, which might affect their effort-value-considerations.

But I've probably doxxed myself with personal stories. Pretty sure a dedicated person could find my employer, the team I'm in, and my age.

Counterstrike Source was later and still had these tight knit communities on the gun game and surf community servers. There wasn't any matchmaking in the client either. And we voice chatted in game for the non-competitive modes.

More importantly, they can't adapt Windows to their needs.

I've tinkered plenty even when using Windows haha. I even have a Windows 98 and Windows XP virtual machine for some old things, but everything I care about seems to have a modern HD release, a userpatch or can be hooked with dxwnd, so I don't use them anymore at the moment.

But yeah probably the long term solution is Linux. Personally I wouldn't run Windows 7 anymore. The unfixed CVE list has become quite long. I just went checking for the above titles out of principle, because I don't like this conflation of PC gaming with only Steam.

I still haven't made the jump to gaming on Linux, unfortunately. Although I've been running a dual boot for the last 8 years or so, because I used Linux for my studies, use it for my work, and for hosting my game servers on a second computer, so I would be in a prime position... but so far I have just gone the way of least resistance, which is still Windows 10 at the moment.

But I have a deadline now: October 2025. Just need to figure out the best distro, I don't think I'll use my existing Fedora KDE install for this. Maybe Arch, or one of these new immutable distros, that might be neat for when different games require different versions of libraries.

Ah sorry I hadn't heard that they switched to Java 21 with 1.20.5
