How do solo devs make an entire game themselves? M
  • If you end up going in the Godot direction, a friend of mine has some useful tools to easily get started on animation rigging and controllers here.

    He got started a couple years ago with no game dev experience, and he's done a couple of game jams recently, but most of his time has been spent building workflow tools. A couple months ago he finally got around working on one of the original games that he's wanted to make since he started.

  • Plex; Introducing Plex Photos Beta
  • I appreciate the response, and as i said, I understand that jellyfin is completely accessible from PS4 even though there is no dedicated app. Unfortunately, that's not an option for all the users in my household, which is why I'm running both a JF and Plex server.

    As far as PS4 not being designed as a streaming device, the fact remains that it does stream media, and since I have it in my house, it does serve that purpose when it is not being used for gaming. I'm not ruling out the option of adding a dedicated streaming device, but I am loath to the idea of trading in one data harvesting service (plex) for another.

  • Plex; Introducing Plex Photos Beta
  • Does a Firestick require WAN access? I know my PS4 calls out of the network pretty regularly, but I'm a little hesitant to add more data harvesting into my network. I haven't ruled it out, though.

  • Plex; Introducing Plex Photos Beta
  • The only reason that Plex has survived every service purge on my system is because Jellyfin doesn't have a PS4 app. Every other device that accesses my media is going through Jellyfin. I have my PS4 connected to Jellyfin via DLNA, but asking my wife to give up the polished (turd) Plex app for the file-picker front end in the media player app isn't a viable option for me.

  • Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11
  • Since they mentioned the workarounds but didn't explain them, I'm copying my comment from another post a couple of weeks ago.

    Lemmy probably isn’t the target audience for this, here’s the steps to bypass the MS account requirement when setting up W11:

    Configure your keyboard, but before you select your wifi network press Shift+(Fn)+F10 to open Command Prompt.

    Type in the following command and press enter. Your computer will reboot: oobe\bypassnro

    After the reboot, configure your keyboard and location settings, and click the option at the bottom of the page to say that you don’t want to connect to the internet

    Click the link on the next page to “Continue with limited setup”, then follow the prompts to enter a username and password.

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025
  • I agree, but I find something else even more weasel-y and annoying when I'm adding a second user to an already-configured W11 computer. If I'm adding them as a local account without a Microsoft account, I'll use Tab to navigate through the process of creating a username, password, and security questions. After the last security question, I'll hit tab to navigate to the "Okay" button at bottom left of the window, which seems like a reasonable expectation. Instead, Windows will highlight the "Back" button at the bottom right. If you aren't paying attention and hit enter or space bar, you have to start all the way back at the beginning.

    I know that is a small dumb complaint, but when I'm setting 5 computers up in a row and tabbing through everything, my habits get the better of me, and I'll have to redo it two or three times out of the five.

  • Post your Servernames!
  • When I was growing up, my dad had some sort of email server or ftp server or something for the university he taught at. I have childhood memories of trying in odin@[university].edu. My first fileserver at home was just called The Vault, but when I put together a dedicated VM server, it became Odin. The long term VMs that I host on there are named after some of the lesser Nordic gods. I also have a Pi running NginX for reverse proxy passing, so after the latest season finale of Loki, that seemed like an appropriate name for that device.

  • Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie.
  • It's not as impressive as some of the other projects mentioned here, but there was a one-year hiatus during the filming of Cast Away to allow Tom Hanks to lose all (and more) of the weight he had gained for the first part of the movie. His beard and tan were earned honestly during that time as well.

  • Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025
  • Anecdotally, I'm running Kubuntu on a Dell 7280 with a 4 cell battery as my personal computer, which gets an hour or two of websurfing and home network experimentation per day, and I'm having to charge up once or twice a week. I dunno how that stacks up to other devices or distros, but I really barely think about my battery.

  • Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?
  • I actually really don't like this feature, but I just went and checked on my S21, as well as my work S20, and both of them have a Flash notification option, which flashes the camera LED when a notification goes off. Is that what you're talking about?

  • I fit into about the same categories of use as you do, and I agree with most of your assessments. My one complaint is that, when I go to enter my master password the keyboard no longer pops up automatically, instead requiring that I tap the password field to bring it up. That stated happening sometime last year, and I've lived with it, but it's just a quality of life thing that I miss.

  • How do you clean your glasses?
  • Water and hand soap, unless they really need to be cleaned right now. I used to use a microfiber cloth, but I ran into the same problems as you. Soap and water will allow you to get oil from your hands and face off, as well as water spots and whatever else might be on there, and it's gentle enough that it doesn't hurt or scratch the lenses. When I put my glasses back on after cleaning them like this, It's a Whole New World starts playing in my head.
