People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.

People walking too slow to stay behind them but too fast to pass in a reasonable amount of time and distance.

I am pretty sure, this one uses real photos to generate a random face on every refresh of the site.

Have you tried what the message tells you?

Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.

“If you enter a room it feels like someone was leaving” - but in an ironic way.

Supports both programming and gaming

Both is super uncritical.

You can install Steam as Flatpak without any real or major issues nowadays and thanks to Proton you can basically play any games except those that use Windows-specific ring 0 spyware as their DRM or anti-cheat mechanism. Pro-Flatpak: You don’t need to deal with 32-bit libs dependency hell.

Same with programing. The relevant compilers are all available for pretty much all common distributions. Same with the common scripting interpreters as well as all common IDEs.

but I’m considering moving it to a VM if the performance impact is manageable

Depending on your VM solution you can usually pass-through CPU and/or GPU and have nearly the same performance as on bare metal.

but am open to exploring new options.

This might be a bold move, but have you considered Arch Linux? You need to do most things by yourself, but the wiki is one of the best and most complete and extensive distribution-specific Linux wikis available. So if you’re willing to read instructions and learn new things, why not give it a try? (Disclosure: Arch is my daily driver since 2008 on desktops, laptops and homeservers).

That’s a lot of text for “we’re not open source, please don’t trust us and please use another system”.

German here.

I am not writing anything in my code in German. All of my code, my variables, my default texts, my comments, my documentation, my UI strings, etc. are always and explicitly in English.

The only German I use, is when I provide translations for UI or documentation.

Of course!

WinAmp hurt itself while slapping

I’m not going to search further to find the original discussion, but another user in this thread mentions seeing talk of this about a year ago.

There were plenty of those threads and discussions happening during the past few years. This is a constant topic that came up in the forums and sometimes GitHub over and over again.

It initially was that. Also the name wasn’t meant to stick around forever.

But, out of a sudden, between updates, not even the new website URLs ready?

I don’t follow Minetest development that closely anymore, but last time I checked there were no issues or pull requests on their GitHub, nor something official regarding a name change in the forums.

This feels like there are just a bunch of people haphazardly deciding there is a new name now.

It IS a terrible name. But it also is an over one decade old brand.

It will be hard to propagate the new name and have it as recognizable as “Minetest”.

Luh-Anti?

Also luanti.net (which would be the most logical step to use that address because of the same TLD).

Why isn’t something like this done prior to announcing the new name …

Is this an out-of-season April Fools’ joke?

Startup times getting down below 20s definitely helps with this.

Absolutely. SSDs, systemd, and recent kernels definitely help. From the moment the EFI hands over to the kernel, my ca. 9 years old system is ready for login 3 seconds later.

What’s your typical “stand-by” mode for your computer when you’re not using it?

Off.

Ideally I’d like to create a simple wiki for creative projects […] and give others editing access […] I’m moderately tech savvy

Codeberg allows to create wikis, even if this isn’t their main feature.

The best thing: It is Git-based. So you have a regular Git repository for your wiki and you don’t need to learn a new workflow. You can also edit pages in the browser. Permissions are a no-brainer of course. For editing pages, Markdown is used, so you don’t even need to learn a new markup language.

Since Codeberg is an open source platform run by a non-profit association all and everything is free to use.

And if you ever want to migrate to somewhere else, just git pull your wiki and you’re good to go.

I just checked their FAQ. They have information about SSH, SMB, RDP, connecting private networks (VPN), etc. available. I did not dig deeper regarding specific ports, though.

You could always use a reverse proxy on your side just accepting port 443 connections (https) and forwarding to a specific docker container using a specific port without the outside world even knowing.
