Heroic has a log tab in the settings iirc. Also this same log is generated when running from the terminal. You can launch them from Wine or forks, or through steam steam://launch/appid_goes_here/Dialog

Also, if you'd be interested and/or you have games outside of Steam, Heroic Launcher has a compatibility layer manager that lets you install and swap around different versions (and forks) of Wine. Only installs to Heroic though, not system-wide or directly to Steam (though you can add external games to Heroic).

Not all too knowledgeable about Wine myself, but I'd imagine that like Windows, Wine must have its elements so tied together that updating something could potentially break something else. So on a hypothetical example, if you update how Wine interprets Vulkan API calls, you could end up breaking how it interpret Direct3D calls, as, to my knowledge, both do more or less the same thing, except Direct3D is much older.

RSS's a big for me and had been considering originally using Mastodon + RSS Parrot. But though I don't like the UI of Friendica, its native tracker bot function sounds rather interesting. 👀

Thinking here, the site engine I'd pick for daily use would probably be Mbin. But as I hear it is a bit of a processing hog, running it and a Friendica instance on the same device would maybe be too much for the device, so maybe I should buy another Raspberry Pi or some other SBC for it.

@piratepost@poliverso.org if it's on poliverso, then users from the "threadiverse" should be able to find it with !medmastodon@poliverso.org. And iirc, Friendica groups (or the equivalents from Lemmy, Mbin & PieFed) on Mastodon can be treated as both hashtags, and as users, e.g. on mastodon.social.

Tangencial comment, but as I'd presume your instance is running on a Linux server (usually sites are), maybe check with ncdu (if available) which folders are the biggest?

Been managing to feed !gamedelistings@thebrainbin.org quite a lot recently. That's... Good?

Also noticed yesterday !gamedelistings@lemm.ee still seems able to federate despite the instance not existing anymore. haunting~

Sadly not many people seem to be engaging with !defeat_the_backlog@thebrainbin.org. come on, these games ain't playing themselves

!grayjay@thebrainbin.org sadly is pretty slow. Meant to keep posting update news there but no having a more automated means of getting info makes it quite a task. Also maybe I should make a NewPipe/PipePipe community?

And considering making a Vita Handhelds community, and that one by news alone I think would be more lively.

"Consolidation" = "keeping just the first"?

If so, I'd say it's good to have alternatives around.

Dumped the disc and the save. In an emulator, I set speed at 200% wherever precision wasn't needed, put an Infinite Lives cheat and used Timmy as his maxed out basic attack is AoE. The game then got between neutral and barely enojoyable, so profit?

Also on the images issue pointed by another user, maybe also see if Lemmy now has a solution for it, or if any of the alternatives do.

Maybe there's a way to import contents through federation? Just, if both run on the same hardware when doing it (possibly the new instance on a subdomain), both would run way slower.

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 5 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Directly compatible with Lemmy, there's Friendica (Facebook-like; also compatible with Twitter-like posts e.g. from Mastodon), Mbin (simplified/cleaner UI; also hybrid like Friendica), and PieFed (apparently more Reddit-like than Lemmy from what I read, in a technical sense).

Dunno which are better/worse to run, but I remember seeing hardware requirements on the docs of each of them.

Also it's not uncommon to see single user instances from my experience. But if you feel it's a waste of domain/resources, you could also create some dedicated community or something to give further use for it.

Effective January 20, 2026, verified purchasers can download the EPUB and PDF files of your confirmed DRM-free books.

Also lower in the same page:

Change DRM settings

You have full control over your DRM settings and can change them at any time. Your DRM setting affects future download availability for all customers, regardless of when they purchased your book. After you select not to apply DRM, any verified purchaser will be able to download EPUB and PDF files effective January 20, 2026. If you later apply DRM, no new downloads in EPUB or PDF format will be available. However, readers who already downloaded EPUB or PDF files will retain access to them.

And this applies to older releases too, as per the paragraph and steps immediately after.

And where to download the files, from the bottom of the page:

Reader download access

Effective January 20, 2026, readers can download EPUB and PDF files of your DRM-free books from their Manage Your Content and Devices page on Amazon. Only verified purchasers who have bought your book can access the EPUB/PDF files. Customers who borrowed your books through Kindle Unlimited or other services can't download the EPUB/PDF files, even if the books are DRM-free.

If readers downloaded EPUB/PDF files when your book was DRM-free, they will retain access to those downloaded EPUB/PDF files even if you later apply DRM. However, the option to download EPUB/PDF files will not be available after your DRM setting change is live (approx. 24-72 hours after you publish).

Needed to find some super old DMs, iirc before even the pandemic, and was greeted with this beautiful message. Luckily the DMs aren't absolutely necessary for what I need, just would make things much easier.

Didn't confirm anything so not going to bother, but I wonder if this type of thing could be challenged through my country's consumer protection laws.

 

Recently, by accident, I set the subtitles of some anime to Spanish, and to my surprise, for the first time in who knows how long, I could focus fully on an episode. Tested over the days, and indeed it was helping.

After that, it got me wondering why.

Being able to understand some Japanese, the impression I get is that it's in a weird position where it's too straight to the point and too verbose at the same time. Meanwhile, in languages like Portuguese and English, it seems to me as if the speaker needs to walk around ideas a lot to explain them. And almost like they'd be in the other side of the spectrum, languages like Spanish (oddly enough despite being Portuguese's sister language) and the Scandinavian ones feel very straight to the point.

Perhaps then, less information added in helps at not straining one's focus, specially when the person's focus is already on the weaker side?

And going by that, it makes me think, if the person is struggling at focusing at something, despite the medium, maybe changing to a less verbose language (when possible and the person knows the language) could help?

 

Was checking the news of its release and it got me curious. As a Steam release was linked, went to check the public information SteamDB compiles, and on the list of files, near the end, I see these two very suspiciously-named files on the screenshot I've attached.

Will get either of the PC versions when I can to check, but it seems promising already!

 

Though still on the weaker side, today I was able to pull 5 more kg in about half of the exercises, and been going there somewhat sporadically. Luckily my job compensates for when I don't or can't go.

Seeing progress surely is uplifting.

Estou vendo de criar uma instância minha, e por enquanto não queria comprar mais um Raspberry Pi. Mas daí, nunca tendo mexido com VPS, fica a dúvida, qual seria alguma boa e confiável tupiniquim?

E buscando brasileiras especificamente para incentivar a economia nacional. Mas caso infelizmente não haja, aceito sugestões de outros territórios.

Obrigado desde já! ^_^
