Update for the sad post yesterday

My previous post was about one of the two kittens I saved being near death and the vet said there was nothing we can do and suggested putting him down. As I said before, we decided against that and took him home to keep him warm. He slept in bed with us tucked into a heating pad. Still as weak and frail as before.

Suddenly around 5AM he woke up. He couldn’t stay still. He had so much energy. He kept jumping off our bed. So I put him and his heating pad in his tent with his brother. A few hours later we went to bottle feed him and he drank sooooo much. We tried giving him some wet food and he devoured it. He’s been acting pretty normal since. Still small but gaining weight.

So despite the vet saying it’s near impossible him for survive he proved them wrong and pulled through!

Thanks for the support on people who commented or otherwise thought about us to send good vibes.

Cross Progression PC/PS5

Update: I finally got the save to show on ps5 (I was impatient and excited the pc cyberpunk before the save actually uploaded) but can’t play it without the dlc since I got it on PC. Makes sense. I bought it on ps5 and the game doesn’t recognize it. My assumption is cause I upgraded from a EUR version of cyberpunk 2077 I got off Amazon….

Update 2: for anyone who sees this or cares. I did get it all worked out but that EUR copy made things a bit frustrating. Sony refunded the American regional version of phantom liberty for me. I then bought $30 worth of Hungarian ps gift cards redeemed them bought the dlc and everything works! Somehow I even saved 2.50 lol

I’ve seen lots of posts about this but sadly nothing that’s worked for me yet. I know CD Project Red used to say PC to console doesn’t work but they removed that I think and I’ve talked / seen people where it did work. Maybe even me but I forget (if the older saves started on PC or PS5). I saved my game on PC after enabling cross progression and it has the cloud icon. I go to ps5 and I only see 2 cloud icons (instead of 3) and the 2 are from 6 months ago. Back on my Pc again and I have 3. The 2 old ones I see from before and the new one. There’s gotta be something I’m doing wrong.

Fixing keyboard

I built my first keyboard a few years ago. Love it. Though my cat knocked a drink over into it a year or so ago and i was too upset to see what did and didn’t work. Today I found the keyboard and decided to see if it works! Well it seems the space bar and H key are effed. I think the 3 keys on the right are also busted but I forget what they do lol. They don’t trigger anything on the keyboard tester.

I hoped that I could just hot swap some switches and be good but it seems H and space and whatever is on my bottom right corner do not work no matter the switch. I imagine that means the board is bad? Prob no fixing? At least it seems I can just swap the board and should be good to go. Thought I’d ask for tips..

Spoiler-Free Tips For Beginning Starfield

While I personally enjoy finding all this naturally on my own, there are some items on this list I wish I knew about a little earlier compared to when I found out. Like Hot-keying weapons and aid took me a little bit to realize on Xbox, I also haven't gotten as far in the main mission as they suggest, so who knows, everyone has different styles on how they play.

[Use Spoiler Tag When Necessary] How are you currently enjoying the game?

As the community name implies, lets keep it civil in here, you can say pros and cons without being a troll. If you want to talk about something that could potentially be a spoiler, please use the spoiler function, as shown below.

::: spoiler actual potential spoiler, do not expand if you don't want to see. Just found a good place to sell some illegal contraband I stole from looted spacers and crimson before getting scanned and arrested like my last attempt. :::

I am about 14 hours in and having a great time. I believe I have visit about 6 star systems now? Some filled with fun side quests, others with dangerous atmospheres and small mining camps.

Still looking for a good place to set up an outpost and store resources until I have enough for research and crafting. Haven't gotten far on the main quest yet either. Loving this game! Might be my personal GOTY.

Anyone primarly use their xbox series x with a monitor?

Monitor: KTC H27T22

Console: Series X

Speakers: Micca PB42X powered bookshelf speakers.

I have an aux cable going from my bookshelf speakers to the monitor. HDMI from the Xbox to monitor. Works great but no easy way to manage audio. I either need to click the joystick on the back of the monitor and navigate through monitor menus to find audio. Or I can get up and turn my speaker around where there’s an audio control knob.

Any one have a better way to handle? It doesn’t seem I can change audio from the Xbox itself. I can’t find anything that would allow me to control them. I don’t want to get a different speaker for my Xbox.

[Question] [Linux] Firefox keeps randomly opening a new tab

It started earlier today, I was watching TV and looked up the cast of an episode of solar opposites on IMDB and promptly closed it. Now randomly throughout the day today that tab going to that episodes cast on IMDB opens. Anything on google pointed to malware but I am not convinced its not a weird bug. Anyone else have this happen? i am going to try to clear history and see if that helps or if it opens a blank tab.

that self hosted itch....

Anyone else have it ? The more work I do setting things up like dockers, reverse proxies, single sign on, etc. the more I want to do it. But I’m running out of ideas of things to host that would actually benefit me. But I have that itch where I want more lol.

So far I have the following: (EDIT: added descriptions for those who aren’t familar with all of it. )

  1. Caddy - use this primarily as a reverse proxy to access my applications via my domain and outside the house
  2. Nextcloud - mainly using it for cloud storage but also some of their other apps likes decks and tasks as well as contacts and calendar.
  3. Memos - simple note taking app similar to twitter but personal.
  4. Miniflux - rss
  5. Authentik - sso
  6. Portainer - web view of dockers and status / health
  7. KitchenOwl - groceries / recipe management
  8. Actual - zero budgeting (like YNAB)
  9. Firefly iii - finances management
  10. Immich - images / iCloud replacement
  11. Organizr (barely using it. Trying to think of more use cases) - dashboard of all my services
  12. Speedtest - runs daily speed tests and monitors.
  13. Plex - host my media library
  14. Plex_Debrid / rclone - sync real Debrid with plex.
  15. rsync to backup data to one onsite and one off site location. Automated backups
  16. Watchtower automated docker updates
  17. Home Assistant - home automation
  18. Home bridge - Apple home automation
  19. Zigbee2mqtt - manage zigbee smart home devices
  20. Unifi controller - manage my network

I think that’s everything!

Edit: Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I really appreciate everyone with their opinions. First things first I did get borg setup for both my server and my desktop so thats awesome! I am waiting for response from my backup server admin if they can install rdiff-backup for me so I can utilize that as well for my cloud backups.

Going to take a look at a few other of the many suggestions here! More than a few I like!

Mobile Truck Base - TTW

As I continue through my fallout tale of two wastelands play through I wanted to a share a cool mod that came with the package of mods I used. I totally forgot about it until I found it in old lady gibsons scrap yard and bought it off her for 250 caps.

Now I have a mobile base with automatic sorting and can easily travel around both DC and Vegas. Just needs flamer fuel!

Fallout 4 The Midnight Ride

After i finish Fallout 3 / NV with Tale Of Two Wastelands, I plan to play Fallout 4! I played it when it first came out but never the DLC. So I am going to give it a try with The Midnight Ride, brought to us by the folks over at moddinglinked (who also brought The Best of Times for TTW and Viva new vegas. I think they also helped with Wasteand Survival guide?

Finally got around to playing Tale of Two Wastelands

I haven’t played fallout 3 in a long time. New Vegas I’ve played over quite a few times. This time I’m doing tale of two wastelands.

Playing fallout 3 in new Vegas game feels much better then native fallout 3. Using the suggested mod kits keep it vanilla but modernize some textures and interface items. I haven’t finished 3 / gone to Vegas yet but I’m really enjoying my play through so far.

More info can be found on their website! https://taleoftwowastelands.com/

and https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/ for the initial modding kit

https://wastelandsurvivalguide.com/ for the additional modset

and https://salamand3r.fail/texture-guide for his texture guide.

also credit to the VNV team (Viva New Vegas) as I used some of their information as well (like LOD generation) https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/

Fun note, I am also playing just fine on Linux! (using steamtinkerlaunch) https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch

Major props to all the people involved in TTW and the modding community and steamtinkerlaunch for linux, for doing such a great job for the community!!!

RSS feeds

Wasn’t sure where to ask this but figured people here host their own rss platforms. I just started with miniflux. Between that and reeder it makes RSS nice and easy.

My issue is that until the 3rd party Reddit nonsense, i let Reddit monopolize my information gathering. To the point I don’t know where else to get info from. Like which websites I can trust that aren’t just bad forms of marketing. Forums and things like that. I don’t know any of them because I spent all my time with Reddit.

Anyone have ideas or suggestions of good rss feeds for people who are interested in tech and programming and gaming and whatnot

Edit: thanks for all the great suggestions. I’m building up a nice RSS stream.
