Pretty sure that was the case. I heavily use Tailscale at work and have been working steady on multiple VNC connected clients over Tailscale Wireguard tunnels without issue. Just wrapped it up for the day and hit the ‘ol watering hole (hackernews) to see this. I didn’t connect/disconnect or have to use the portal during that time period, but my in place connections were fine.
I'm not sure what is wrong here, taking into account that it's usual for Sony to make titles produced by their subsidiaries as exclusives for PS only (yes, e.g. God of War was released on PC too, but that was almost 4 years after the initial launch as PS4 exclusive). At least Microsoft releases games on Windows simultaneously with Xbox launch, and these Windows releases could run on Linux too (thank you Valve & Proton). Not possible with Sony stuff.
Wow. Microsoft releases games for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Xbox? And thanks to tremendous efforts by third parties they work on other platforms? Amazing!
I doubt you or most people would consider Breath of the Wild not to be Nintendo exclusive despite it being on TWO different Nintendo platforms and playable on other platforms thanks to third parties. Microsoft plays the exclusive game too no matter how much people like to pretend that they don't control Windows and benefit from keeping it the dominate PC gaming OS.
You can't run yuzu or Cemu on PS even if you wanted too. The Sony's platform is tremendously locked. Also I mentioned Proton in my original post, you get Linux compability for the "Microsoft exclusive" game basically for free.

You got my hopes up:/ I just looked and I don't see a single COD game showing proton/steamdeck support on steam. Maybe there's workarounds for some of the old ones, but I don't think any recent ones with working anti cheat have anything but Windows support.
The old ones work pretty okay. I played through WWII's campaign on my Steam Deck and a bit of multiplayer too. Black Ops III as well although my campaign save broke itself multiple times so I gave up. The Modern Warfare reboot and up ones seem to not work though. I think they also have more extensive anti-cheat too that might not be doable on Linux.
The issue is that this isn't Microsoft bootstrapping a new division that produces games exclusive for their platforms. This is a problem of Microsoft trying to buy one of the larger existing game publishers with some very popular titles and likely make many of them Microsoft platform exclusive.
The fact that Sony, who Microsoft insists is absolutely obliterating them in the gaming space, doesn't have the money to enact these sorts of massive mega-mergers seems telling that this kind of a deal is not just a natural part of the market. Rather, Microsoft is just leverating their wealth from their other businesses to armstrong the market.
That's why I additionally pointed about Windows releases. With Microsoft exclusive, you can play the title on Xbox, Windows PC, Linux PC, Steam Deck. With Sony, it's PS only.
What kind of "newer"? I only consider Spider-Man: Miles Morales as "new enough" and it was still released over 2 years ago. When God of War: Ragnarok will be available on PC? You get Xbox titles on PC on the same day of their console release.
Returnal which came out April 2021 and the PC version just released, technically Destiny 2: Lightfall (if that counts) was day-and-date.
Sony still has an incentive to sell hardware and keep games exclusive though. Unlike Microsoft, they don't control Windows and don't have an incentive to keep Windows the gaming OS of choice. Microsoft is also trying to push their own Xbox Game Pass and get users gradually away from Steam.
I was so sure that rise of PC ownership would spell the end of consoles. I still can't believe console gaming grew and became even more entrenched the last 10 years. It would be like if blockbuster grew and became more popular with the rise of netflix.
If you run two jobs right after each other and the machine tries to pull the image separately for each one and redownloads the whole thing, then that's a poor cache. Modern practices make this relatively easy to accomplish by accident.
Especially for Docker, which is typically a daemon that runs in a different execution context as the CI job, which means you cannot just tell the CI job to cache some directory. Podman makes this easier but isn’t used as widely as Docker is.
a sibling comment to yours[0], from 'treesknees, addresses what a decent caching setup for this looks like.
> We've since started caching our images locally using Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager plus hosting our own registry for some simple things we used to be pulling from Docker Hub.
I believe fish already does some of these things. For example: if there is no binary available in PATH for one of the commands in your history, that command won't be suggested. Same goes for commands that have file/directory names in them that don't exist.
An individual could afford computing power for such research activities (not exactly like this one, but e.g. for personal ML experiments) in 2018-2019 for an adequate price. You were able to buy 2 new RTX2080s for the today price of a used single unit. If you want to tinker and need GPU power today, your best option is to rent special datacenter-approved(tm) GPUs for the really expensive $/h. And you don't own anything afterwards (except if you bought GPU before the end of 2020). Does this make no sense? Is this how technological progress should work?
2080s? With only 8GB of VRAM that's not even ECC backed?
Even for ML model training back then, 8GB was on the small side (a lot of the research repos even had special parameter sets to allow running on consumer level VRAM GPUs). Also, for something like long running bio simulations, you'd probably want to be sure that your memory bits aren't being flipped by other sources -- the extra upfront cost is well worth preventing potentially wrong research results...
Nvidia consumer products have been a better value proposition in the past for sure. But they've always done market segmentation. It's not merely a matter of "datacenter-approved(tm) GPU" (though they do also do driver-based segmentation).
Sorry for the possible off-topic, but can anyone explain to me how the robo-advising is different/better/worse than constant passive investing into popular ETFs, e.g. $SPY, $BND, $VOO, etc.?
I mean that’s literally where the money ends up anyway. I have a small amount in Wealthfront to check it out. With my “10/10” risk allocation, my money is all in vanguard funds.
45% VTI
20% VEA
19% VWO
14% VIG
2% VETB
They do also offer some services such as “tax loss harvesting” that you can’t really do on your own, but I don’t really know if it’s worth their fee.
Really, I think one of the best investing strategies is to buy and hold a variety of Vanguard funds and stop thinking about it.
* tax co-ordinated investing - looks at both your taxable and tax exempt/deffered accounts and directs funds appropriately (for example, puts more tax inefficient assets in your tax exempt accounts)
You can of course do this on your own as well, so it's up to you to decide whether the additional fee is worth it or not. Also, not all robo advisors offer the same features - but most offer automatic rebalancing at a minimum.
Automatic rebalancing is not that useful as long as you're contributing, because that rebalances on its own.
Betterment's tax loss harvesting is good… unless you're expecting your tax rate to go up next year, in which case you want to harvest gains… also, it'd be better to not lose money in the first place. Since they have alternate portfolios like "smart beta" now which try to do that, their features conflict with each other.
The main problem is that every robo uses the same Modern Portfolio Theory based investing which despite being "modern" is from 1960.
Not a comprehensive comparison, but I've been doing monthly investments into robo-advisors (Wealthfront and SoFi) as well as ETFs (SPY and VOO) for 2 years now. The returns are quite similar to ETFs, sometimes higher or lower depending on the markets.
2 things come to mind:
1. These target the large majority of people with no will or interest in researching/picking/managing their own ETF investments.
2. Robo advisers re-balance your ETF portfolio (in much the way an individual ETF would).
One friend told me it was his way of "outsourcing investment research", whether or not that justifies these platform's "low fee" and their returns vs. DIY is another issue.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an absolute gem in all terms and it was released in 2019, not so long ago. Shiny new Halo Infinite is very nice too.
There were failures like Cyberpunk 2077, but such cases were always present in the industry.
What abysmal quality are you talking about?
So you're pushing for DeFi and all things decentralized, but whining that the centralized service has enforced its power upon your content about decentralization there? Nice.
I'm not DeFi fan (not by a long shot), but complaining about the practices of centralised services seems exactly in line with what a pro-DeFi person would do. There's no hypocrisy here.
It seems to me that an actual advocate of decentralized services would have nothing to complain about, because there would be no way to censor them (cf "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it").
So given that in reality, everything of consequence in the "Decentralized Finance" world still relies on centralized services (YouTube hosts your videos, a lot of cryptocurrency actually held in exchanges, not wallets, etc), charges of hypocrisy may not be entirely without merit.
