Another good reason to not use it is the risk of having illegal material downloaded from a server hosted internationally.

Naev is a good choice for Eacape Velocity fans looking for a modern game. Naev has a lot of depth and polish, very well crafted.

SC4K - The original binaries run at 1080p on modern hardware with excellent performance and gameplay with a few command line tweaks.

With respect to SC3K being great still, I would run it but I haven't been able to get some performance issues ironed out.

Worst might be SC2K for N64.

Neat concept would a game to import cities into a GTA-like engine.

Kmail worked great for years then one update akondai would no longer sync and that was the end of it.

Can't make "Gate C4" jokes anymore.

I had them tell me I couldn't bring an M&M novelty childs toy bat on the plane, complete in its original packaging that said "ages 3+."

The Bluetooth integration needs work - missing features such as "never connect automatically."

Default lock screen experience still has a needless delay of 5 seconds when entering a wrong (even blank wrong) password, even on the first attempt.

I suspect that is not KDE's fault (or Wayland's) - it's probably PAM, which by default has a 2 second delay (+/- 50%). That default is extremely difficult to change, but you can configure it. See my instructions here: https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/issues/778#issuecomme...

Also if you follow that issue you can see I've been trying to convince the PAM developers to fix it (by changing it to a 0.5 second delay, which is much more tolerable and no less secure). Unfortunately they have this weird idea that users want the delay, because it lets them recompose their thoughts after getting the password wrong or something like that.

Wow, that has bugged me for years. Frustrating it's not easily configurable.

Good lord that thread is a dumpster fire. Thanks for finding out wtf is causing this, it has annoyed me for two darn decades, but never enough to go as deep into finding the cause…

Bluetooth autoconnect configuration is a Wayland issue? I honestly would have never guessed. I always figured it was the responsibility of the DE or bluez service.

Well, seeing how systems are brute-forced and how much speed you can achieve today, these delays are more and more welcome on my end.

Authentication systems had lock out periods or increasing delays since decades. 1 attempt per 5 seconds and 12 attempts per minute would be equivalent for brute force. And 12 attempts per minute would be a very loose lock out policy.

However, it's a good starting point for any systems which might be user facing and reasonably secured by the network around the system.

There's such thing as bad defaults and starting too heavy-handed is starting with bad defaults.

In short, current default is a good compromise and a good default.

Z-Wave is tried and true, and works even without an available hub. I don't see the appeal to Matter from a professional standpoint.

It may have it's place in the consumer market, but with product financing from major adtech firms it is clear the ultimate incentives are different than that of the licensed Z-Wave revenue model.

Simple hypothetical: "A disaster hits and the workstation owner is unable to return to the location the workstation is stored. During that time period the workstation is stolen by a gang of looters."

Ah yes a typical Tuesday for me

I'm not getting insurance for the normal case. I get insurance for the bad cases.

The good thing though: the effort is low. You think through it once and you have your encryption and backup strategy for a long time.

I have a NAS System which only runs when i need it, i scrub every month and that basic setup is the same for the last 12 years.
