I did the same search some six years ago for our company and ended up with MediaWiki. We had two requirements: ACL and Ease of Use for non-technical people.

Both of the above are missing in the plain MediaWiki but extensions helped out. There were few different ACL extensions and I can't remember which one I picked. Ultimately now we have the secret access controlled side of the wiki and the internal "public" side where everyone can access.

VisualEditor was a key extension. It's a rich text editor with minimal fuzz for MediaWiki. Users never have to deal with the MediaWiki markup which is a must for non-technical users.

I had the exact same problem on one of my virtual boxes. The problem baffled me for two years and I just added more space to the box a few times to fight it as I couldn't solve the issue. It wasn't the inodes, deleted but open files or anything common like that.

The problem was my mounts. I had occasionally failing mounts combined with crontabs that accessed and wrote data to those mounts. Do you know what happens when you accidentally wrote let's say 200gb data to /mnt/a and then later mount a drive over that mount point? It magically 'disappears' as you'd exclude that mount from the calculations.

Might be you don't have anything mounted and none of the above is useful to you. But this solved my issue and it's quite curious and silly. Just set up mount points to not be writeable and problem went away.

I used Linux Mint and GTX 2070 for over a half a year without any major problems. Installation was incredibly easy as there was a dialog box asking to install drivers and everything just worked. I have 4 monitor setup even.

Ultimately I switched to AMD (last week) because of the tiny problems that I experienced but mostly because I wanted to support AMD and could reason for an GPU upgrade.

I'm going against the grain and say I love watching someone else play the game they're good at. And I will provoke a bit and say it's the same as watching someone pro playing football versus playing it yourself.

I cannot play horror games at all but I will consume every and all playthroughs of known good horror games. Then again I would never watch someone play crpg or mmo, the games I'm actually good at.

I just love to see some high level rocket league game play or trackmania or Fortnite or a Elden Ring challenge run versus playing myself those games. I have limited time but want to experience many games and I feel watching them is almost as good as playing them without actually spending thousands of hours getting good.

Thanks for making these posts!

Just to add more info on those images you found for Dolphin. The original art without the text is from this artist https://www.artstation.com/pierreroussel/albums/8482338. I love them.

Awesome read. I bought the game few weeks ago and the tutorial was a huge letdown. I'm glad I took time and played the game instead of trying to understand the tutorial which made the game look so complicated and confusing. I hope they remake it someday and summarize it instead of overexplaining.

Been playing for ten hours now and hoping to win with each deck. So much fun!

Quick version:

  • Install latest Java
  • Install latest Minecraft Java server
  • Play vanilla Minecraft

Rabbit hole:

  • Bedrock / Java version differences
  • Modpacks, mods and Minecraft version differences (1.12, 1.20) require different Java versions.
  • Official server vs 3rd party software (papermc, purpur...)
  • Publicly open server vs firewalled

Why not both and add a few more. Make the game randomize which attire the duck has from a limited pool of costumes and force a change maybe as often as after every save/load/level.

Totally unnecessary but silly feature. If there is any mention of the duck in the environment/narration you can add jokes about ducks being indecisive.
