  • Which is better, Unity or Godot?

    Jump

  • Building on top of Unity is a massive risk as made evident by last year's rug pull incident. And there's nothing stopping them from trying again

  • Anyone have some good electric cars?

    Jump

  • The 2024+ Long Range Single motor (rear wheel drive) is rated for 655km which is pretty decent. Compared to the 2021 first gen dual motor (long range) which was rated at 390km

  • BMW i5 Touring and Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo are the only electric stationwagons I know of. I share your dispair at the lack of "medium" size electric cars. For a decade there was only one sedan, the Tesla S. And later a second sedan, the Tesla 3. At least these days there's greater selection of sedans, though still not many wagons. Although to be fair there's hardly even fossil wagons for sale these days.

    The prevelance of tiny or massive EVs kinda make sense. Small city cars are usually used for shorter journeys so they can get away with a smaller lighter batteries. Big SUVs are heavy to begin with, so the heavy battery doesn't make that a massive difference. Fossil sedans and estates can be relatively light but are still often used for long journeys, but a longrange sedan EV will be very heavy.

  • The Polestar 2 is great at being a (fun) car first and a electric car second, if that makes sense. The door handles are just regular door handles, the instrument cluster has an extremely clean and minimal design without visual noise, there's physical buttons for the radio and defroster and the gear (direction) selector! Range isn't as amazing as Tesla 3, but as a daily car I think it's nicer. Also the optional tow hitch is rated for a 1t trailer load which is a bit more than the Tesla 3.

    Skoda Enyaq is another good alternative, though slightly bigger, more of an SUV. The Honda E was really fun to drive, but a bit expensive given size and range. For smaller cars the Renault Zoë is a a top contender, and quite popular here Kia has a whole range of great EVs, as does VW.

    If I was in the market for a new car, I'd be seriously looking at the new Mazda 6e right now. It looks slick as hell, and it's one of the very few non-SUV non-5-door-hatchback EVs on the market. Another alternative is BMW i4 and i5. The i5 is even available as a stationwagon / estate , which as far as I know is a first for EVs.

    The Lucid looks slick as well, for those with deeper pockets :D

    You didn't mention where you live or what size and budget you're looking at, some of these models may not be available in all markets, and as you can tell wary greatly in size and cost

  • I wish I installed Plasma on my Ubuntu sooner

    Jump

  • It is, up untill Plasma 6.8 (estimated release early 2027) Plasma can do both direct to X11, or direct wayland with xwayland support for legacy apps.

  • Correct! And yet....

    Though to be fair the chances of ISO 8601 goes up when year comes first

  • Verified just means we can believe that they are who they say they are. Doesn't mean that they're trustworthy or believable. Or to put it another way: The identity of their account is verified. The contents of their posts are not verified.

    I don't agree with the point OP is trying to make in this instance regarding verification. (Letting that well documented lethally violent gang of thugs use their platform is Bluesky's actual transgression here)

  • Yes, though it works a bit differently.

    In your mastodon bio you link to your other precenses on the web (webpage, twitter, GitHub, whatever)

    On those profiles you add an (invisible) link to your mastodon profile. Mastodon can then verify that your mastodon profile and your other sites are controlled by the same entity, and get a blue tick.

  • Dune3D is a relatively new 3D CAD for Linux. https://docs.dune3d.org/en/latest/ I haven't tried it, but it looks very promising.

    Personally, I use FreeCAD, which is leagues better than it used to be, and improving quickly

  • Yikes, are those required? Looks very rug-shaped, perfect for pulling things. Or not. Who knows?

  • Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a normal model, but BitWarden is a bit special in that their original server-side implementation was enough of a pain to self-host on a small scale that an alternative implementation Vautlwarden was created. And Vaultwarden became very popular in self-hosted circles. And now many years later BitWarden offers a Lite server which scales down. I think it's a good thing, just a bit unusual. I'm struggling to think of similar examples.

    I'm sure Vaultwarden still funnels plenty of enterprise use of BitWarden, since Vaultwarden users still use official BitWarden client.

  • Forward thinking venture capital funded companies are getting rarer, hence the question on motivation. Especially the last few years many VC Foss companies have squeezed harder the other way (gitea, Terraform, docker). So all kudos to BitWarden for launching Lite.

    What you say a about brand dominance, or brand protection makes a lot of sense. It's not a good look for them that a large number of people choose to use an unofficial implementation instead of theirs. And should there ever be a catastrophic security issue with Vaultwarden, it would still reflect bad on BitWarden as that kind of nuance (like "unofficial server side implementation") tend to get lost in reporting. Having more IT workers self-host official version probably also helps pave the way for bringing enterprise-bitwarden to companies.

    Valve are a bit of a unicorn though, because they are privately owned. There's no investors demanding ROI the next quarter, which gives them freedom to think long term.When Microsoft launched windows8 and the Microsoft Store, Valve took that as an existential threat to their whole business model (the Steam store). Valve feared that Microsoft was trying to position itself like Apple on iOS and Google on Android, where there is only one platform store, and all apps are purchased through the platform store, and the platform store takes that sweet sweet 30% cut. So Valve pivoted to ensure the Steam store would not be obsolete, and give customers a reason to still use the Steam store. And what they achieved is awesome, for Linux, for Valve and for gamers. But it took nearly a decade, which is a level of patience few companies have.

  • Wonder what's the reasoning behind offering this Lite version. I don't imagine competing with Vaultwarden is very lucrative financially.

  • To be honest I don't remember why I set up gitea with MySQL instead of sqlite (or MariaDB), its quite a few years ago. And sqlite would probably be fine for my single-user instance

  • I just did it not long a ago. Gittea -> Forgejo10 -> Forgejo11 LTS, in Docker. Surprisingly quick, painless and smooth.

    (My only issue was not Forgejo, but MySQL. Because the hardware is ancient and Docker compose pulled down a new version of mysql8 at the same time as pulling forgejo. New version of mysql8 didnt support my CPU architecture. Easy fix was to change the label mysql8oraclelinux7 in Docker compose and pull that image. There is a issue with solutions in the MySQL Docker GitHub repo)
