Next up please make a Steam Box. I just want a PS5/XSX equivalent with SteamOS.

And because I know people will say build a PC: No, I want a pre build smallish box with kinda certified hardware so I don’t have to worry about compatibility, cooling, drivers and all that stuff.

Since everything seems to be going downhill right now, how would I harness that power? You telling me the crystal peddling influencers were right all along? 🤣

I don’t understand. You think Factorio is visually not pleasing but Mindustry is? Are you for real?

Ghost of Tsushima - I've heard it's a nice game, but it overstays its welcome. Do you agree? in c/patientgamers

[–] brrt 7 points 2 weeks ago

I 100%ed it and had a blast. But you don’t have to 100% a game if you don’t have fun anymore. You can easily just finish up the story and be happy with what you got.

I think this is more a fault on the person playing the game than the game itself. If it was any less expansive then I’m sure there would be people wishing there was more to do in the game they like.

(F)OSS 2D floor planner (self.opensource)

submitted 2 months ago by brrt to c/[email protected]

14 comments fedilink

I’m just looking for a simple 2D floor planner that is easy to use and has the ability to show measurements.

The two most recommended open source tools I’ve seen have shortcomings.

Sweet Home 3D:

Very 3D centric, which over complicates things.
Project was recently acquired/handed off to a company and the iOS version is published by “AI Photo Editor Lab SRL”

draw.io / diagrams.net:

Very finicky to set up and create floor plans
To display measurements one has to add measurement objects to every wall/object

Does anyone have other recommendations?

A resource to get notified when certain open source projects change in a negative way? (self.opensource)

submitted 4 months ago by brrt to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink

I’m looking for a way to keep an eye on open source software I’m using, especially if there are detrimental changes. Like for example when there’s an acquisition (Raivo Authenticator) or the project has not been updated in a long time (potentially posing a security risk).

But I don’t want to have to read about every project, just the ones I’m using.

Anyone got any ideas?

Dedicated Authenticators from Password Manager vendors (self.opensource)

Does anyone know why there are no dedicated Authenticator apps made by for example Proton or Bitwarden?

I’m aware that they have TOTP baked into their password managers but you still need to have at least one separate solution to log into your vault.
