    I've read about the lightning reversal before I knew he would use it, so I know what to try. The one time I had the opportunity, I timed it completely wrong, jumped too early and was on the ground again by the time it struck.

    I'm at the top of ashina castle. Spent a good couple of hours on that boss, was super happy to get past it. Then he threw off his clothes and got all lightningy. Haven't managed to get back to that phase yet.

    I know this is very late but the term you're looking for is "Access Point" often abbreviated as AP.

    "Mesh access point" search should come up with the right products, probably mostly UniFi. You can also roll your own with some second hand routers, if they support mesh like Asus AiMesh or via custom firmware like OpenWRT. But that requires a bit of skill/learning and time.

  • TLDR: Why do so many routers support >1Gbit/s on their WiFi while only having 1Gbit/s ethernet interfaces? So, I've been upgrading parts of my home setup and have a router (without AP) that has 2.5G interfaces. My PC also has a 2.5G interface, but that only going to the router is kinda useless (the ISP offers 1G). The place my PC is at is also a good position for an AP. So, I went looking for a cheap second hand wifi router and stumbled upon quite a few that were boasting >1G connection speeds, not only AX but also AC. Now I know this is often a combined theoretical Max, but still a lot offer >1G for the single band. The vast majority of these routers, though, have 1G Ethernet ports. Putting that between my PC and router reduces that linkspeed and I can't actually reach over 1G for the WiFi devices as well. Why would you sell a product like that. Undoubtedly those radio's were more expensive but their in a package that can't fully utilize them. I can think of some reasons: marketing, radio's are mostly not fully utilized anyways, helps with latency, maybe? Does anyone know why it's done like this?

    WTF is up with switches?

    Certainly not an expert here but the GUI "being there" means you can configure something about the traffic flowing through, maybe VLANs or QoS. That also might be why some switches have fans. Deciding what packet has priority or is allowed is a bit more computationally complex (read: heat generating) than just pushing a packet to the right address.

    You might want a VLAN if you have a server connected to the same switch as your PC, but they shouldn't "see" each other. If you didn't have a VLAN there, your router or firewall can't manage anything about the connection. Say you have a website and database on your server and only the website should be accessible by your computer, you'd be able to configure that with the firewall.

    Yep, I really hope a future will become reality where Adobe has some competition and/or an incentive to port the suite to Linux. I just can't help but cheer on the sounds against Stockholm syndrome. So much of these "it doesn't work on Linux" is just the company intentionally trying to prohibit integration with open systems (looking at you HDMI forum). In the end I agree, though, when giving advice, it's best not to assume the "only gaming" use case.

    From my experience it's still a common misconception and I think it's the largest potential group that can switch. Sucks that your usecase is unsupported, though. Just out of interest, what software can you still not run?

    It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

    There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.

    Another Many-to-many example within this usecase would be "subscriptions". Users can subscribe to multiple channels and channels can have multiple users subscribed to them. You would use another relational table that stores the channel_id & user_id, with uniqueness for both together, since "being subscribed to one specific channel multiple times" doesn't make sense and perhaps put a column to store "hitting the bell" in there too.

    You can cancel when receiving the first reminder, or probably also immediately. Good initiative though, I might do the same.

    At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as remote and was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day...

  • I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there's a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?

    Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

    TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a [File](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File). I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with [html2pdf.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/html2pdf.js). There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is `print()`, no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
