There's nothing wrong with my old PC case, except I'd like some USB-Cs in the front panel.

The panel itself is unfortunately integrated, but it's possible to get additional front panels to 3.5" and 5.25" slots (the ones traditionally used for CDs etc). Here's one example from akasa with at least one USB-C: https://akasa.co.uk/search.php?seed=AK-ICR-36

It's perfectly fine if I have to just disconnect the integrated USB-A ports due to lack of motherboard connectors. They suck anyway.

So, please share recommendations for such devices. Let's not let those old cases go to waste!

Excellent resource for USB4 M.2 enclosures.

Be aware though, the word is these things run hot.[^chip]

[^chip]: Apparently it's not just the drives. The chips themselves heat up.

It would be nice if there would be some basic info readily available here. E.g. a pinned post or just some links in the sidebar.

Questions in my head right now:

• What to look for when buying balisongs?
  • Materials
  • Bearings or no?
  • Latch or no?
  • Size
  • Weight
• Some concrete recommendations
  • Training
  • Something for utility, not just flipping
  • Available outside US too
• Guides or videos for getting started
• Anything you wish you had known back in the day..

My bike is exposed to the sun on the balcony where I keep it. This is probably not so great for the leather saddle, so I improvised a sun cover from some wire and folio. This highly advanced design doesn't trap heat underneath.

I've used to be able to play this game just fine at around medium graphic settings through Proton (GE), but today when I launched it again after a while the performance was just really poor.

Like mouse-moves-at-30fps-in-the-menu-poor.

There have been plenty of package upgrades since my last launch including plasma 6, proton and the game itself. So I don't really have any particular suspects here.

Running Arch with AMD GPU. Wayland/Xorg didn't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone else experienced similar performance degrading in this or another game lately?

Full of totally useful stuff. I recommend checking it out.

Ehdokkuudessa on tuollainenkin puoli

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

Hey!

I just found out about KSP and really want to get into it. However I'm a bit a confused about the best way to begin. Here are some questions about the setup:

1. Apparently KSP2 isn't all that great and I should just get the original game?

2. Given I did that, should I get DLCs? Do they add meaningful content or are they just overlapping with mods?

3. Mod recommendations? Not looking to make the game needlessly complicated, but just the kinda mods that a beginner would consider improvements.

4. Install method? Steam Linux version, direct download Linux version or windows version through Proton?

Thanks!

PS. KSP is on Steam sale until 11.9!
