You can now play Half-Life 2 right inside your browser at over 100 FPS with save states & console support — Ingenious port recreates the entire game campaign using WebGL 2
Looks interesting, but it does have serious issues:

Need to clean my keyboard
It would be nice if there was a button or some app that could temporarily disable the keyboard, so it could be cleaned without accidentally changing settings for a running app, writing your boss you are not coming to work on Monday, firing few nukes, or wiping your whole system.

Software update
I'm still scared every time I have to update something, so I try to avoid updates if possible.
Most of the time when I had to update Windows or some software, something would break (and no previous bug would be fixed) and I would have to spend a whole day trying to fix the stupid issue.
TBH, I don't even remember if an update ever fixed something for me (but it probably happened at least once).

There are quite few things you can do, depending on where you live:

Reply in thread
I have the keyboard plugged into a monitor and accessing the USB hub is seriously complicated, so that's not really an option for me.
But I could try locking the system. I just hope I won't lock myself out for few hours, because I have pressed Enter multiple times while cleaning it.

60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market
I'm really glad that me and my friends decided to build new PCs the second we saw the first rise in RAM prices. It would have been hard to survive this on our 7-10 years old builds.

Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750
I never had the chance to try Plex, but how does it compare to Jellyfin? What kind of features does Plex have and Jellyfin does not and vice versa?
Examples of basic features I'm missing in Jellyfin:

If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ??
Every insteresting game I "bought" on Steam is backed up (including a crack if required).

What is that one software that you are using for 10 years and still loving it?
For that long? There are only a few left:
If I include games then:
There were more that I loved, but I have stopped using them a month ago. (Because I switched to Linux):

Does anyone know an app for storing receipts and tracking warranties for linux?
Reply in thread
That looks great for storing documents. However it is not really suited for storing receipts with multiple items and does not really track warranties. Still, good to know about it at least, thanks.

Pixel users report battery drain issues after March update, and this could be the reason
Interesting. I haven't noticed any change, but it is possible I haven't been paying enough attention because I don't use my phone when I'm sititng in front of PC.
I'm running GrapheneOS on Pixel 8 and my battery usually last around 4 days. It could probably last longer if Element (Matrix) wasn't running all the time on the background.

It would be nice if they could do the update with a single reboot. It is annoying to type LUKS password multiple times.

[Solved] Any opensource, themed CV generators out there?
I have written my CV in HTML, CSS, little bit of JavaScript and handlebars.js library (single JS file). I have all the texts inside JSON files (one file per language). I can switch between languages simply by changing a variable and refreshing the page.
When I need to update the CV, I just change the text and print the CV as a webpage into a PDF using an Ungoogled Chrome (Firefox has a bug that causes the page to print in a slightly wrong size).
It may be overkill for some, but for me it was easier to properly style the page using a CSS than using Writer/Word.

This looks like a awesome organization system app. I may decide to use it in the future for insurance purposes when I move to my own place. But I feel that it is a little bit cumbersome to use for my use case. Thanks for the suggestion.

Around 50 receipts + photos of bought items, so it would be around 100 photos. Searching in those photos wouldn't really be feasible and there wouldn't be any relation between photos of receipts and photos of items. Also I don't think I would be able to write all the information from the receipt and about the items anywhere (item description, date of purchase, last warranty date, price, store name, store address).

Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory
Reply in thread
On my Fedora system (KDE) I have unified all unused and pointless folders (Documents, Pictures, Public, Templates) into a single folder called Unspecified with a trash icon. You could probably do that as well.

Maybe I have missed it somewhere? The UI is pretty confusing.

Thanks. It looks like Plex does have more user friendly features, but still no info about relations. That's a bummer.
It is really important to know the watch order (even if I had to specify it manually). When I think about it, Jellyfin probably fails even for the simplest watch orders like The Lord of the Rings; not to mention Stargate (Movie 1 -> Show -> Movie 2+3).
