  • Creative way to boost your business

  • Have you considered?

    Jump

  • Dex would be super important for them too. Cannons of all flavors aim with dex due to being ranged weapons.

  • Have you considered?

    Jump

  • I have issue with almost all of your points.

    • Dex & wisdom would be the important stats for sailors IMO (i am not saying strength and con are useless, but just not as important, they would be 3rd and 4th IMO).
    • Darkvision wouldn't do a damn thing, its range would barely get off the side of the boat.
    • Poison resistance is not disease resistance.
    • Some spoiled food would be poison, but some would also be disease (depends on how it spoiled and the food).
    • In order for short stature to be relevant to ship design, they would need a completely custom designed ship tailor made for them, which would have benifits but sounds unlikely for what pirates would be sailing. (That being said, a dwarven merchant ship designed speciifcally for their stature would be a massive pain for normal height characters to battle on)
    • lower speed means they swim slower too which means going overboard is even worse.

    EDIT: dwarven submarines!

    • short stature actually hugely relevant as submarines are notoriously cramped
    • darkvision means no need for lights in the sub, beneficial for multiple (admittedly somewhat minor) reasons.
    • honestly no clue what stats would be important for a sub, no argument here
    • toxic gasses less of a problem thanks to poison resistance
    • Dont even need to go to the surface, a fully underwater submarine port could be connected to existing dwarven settlements near the ocean with the correct design and planning.
    • Also benefits from legendary dwarven engineering.

  • Cuz the sewer pipes are known for being hermetically sealed.

    I imagine just checking if your windows are closed, sealing any cracks as best you can with wet towels, and staying inside would be far more effective

  • I wish...

  • Found this applies nicely to my career. Routineish work? Drag my feet and fight myself to do anything. Fixing problems (bigger the better)? Everybody stand back, I got it.

    Whole damn system failed due to a database failure that propagated to our secondary host too. Hacked our backup to usable in a day (meeting most requirements, including transition requirements) with a path forward for total system recovery on the main system.

    Documentation on any of that though, that was a .. struggle.

  • One thing that will be the biggest general qol for your new build is likely to get a M.2 NVMe for your games and OS

  • Civ 6 is pretty flexible and dwarf fortress will run on a potato, basically anything remotely in the gaming market will play them fine. Civ 7 is more intense, but being turn based cpu tends not to be the bottleneck

  • Linux gaming hardware/software

    Jump

  • Do you have any preferences (distro, cpu/gpu manufacturer, etc) and a budget? Most of the games on your list I am familiar with and will run on damn near anything remotely modern.

    Lacing direction, with the fairly low requirements (from what i recognize), and assuming you are price conscious id suggest you poke around the used gaming PC market (either gamer friends, or failing that online), which will also completely bypass the tariff issue too.

    PopOS is pretty solid for linux gaming and has a distribution specifically for Nvidia too which handles most of the headache with Nvidia if you go that route.

    EDIT: Poked around the requirement pages of the ones i wasn't familiar with, i didn't see a single game that had a requirement of anything newer than 10 year old hardware, depending on your friend network, you could get a computer that could play those games well for a song. Civ 7, your 'evenutally' game, is the only thing listed that has strongish requirements, and would be what i would pay attention to if you are aiming higher.

  • Top comment on the lemmy world this was cross posted with points out among other things that the app isn't a system app and doesn't otherwise have permissions to access most of what is claimed here, and from a cursory glance at the app on my phone that claim looks correct. is there something I'm missing or is this post just wrong?

  • Whats your use case?

    Was somewhat recently considering a linux laptop myself and ended up deciding the steamdeck fit my needs well.

    A dock + portable keyboard & mouse for when i need to do typing or w/e, and a fun handheld console for when i want fun.

    That being said, depending on what your "older" laptop is, it might not actually be much stronger, or it might be wildly overpowered for what you need.

    The government doesn't use SQL

    Jump

  • So they both store data in a table like structure, but that's about where the similarities end. Excel is useful for handling smaller more flexible data sets, but has performance, scalibility, storage, and structural deficiencies compared to SQL, it's also harder for computer languages to communicate with a shared excel dataset and modify it vs SQL.

    One of the major issues with excel as a database is data limits, excel only allows for ~1 million rows. Considering there are ~1 billion possible SSNs, excel would not be a great medium for them for that reason alone.

    One big advantage of SQL is you need to structure your data on the creation of the table and it's designed with the expectation that all data will fit a structure, including unique keys, format, and other limits and structures. This allows you to enforce database rules easily and massively reduce storage size and query times.

    There are a bunch of other reasons for using SQL but most of it boils down to either it's faster, easier for multiple computers to access and read/modify simultaneously, or better for enforcing rules and structures when modifying it.

  • Its funny, I'm currently using popos and my experience printing was easier than windows by a mile. Literally like 2 buttons clicks in the first related menu I found.

  • 2024: The Year Linux Dethrones Windows on the Desktop – Are You Ready?

    Jump

  • Same thing for any other software, see if you can get it running in wine, and see what the alternatives are and try them out until you find a solution you like. You need to accept there may be change, and may need to experiment and hit up Google to find solutions, but solutions do exist.

    From a quick Google search, i found about 4/5 potential open source options

    FreeCAD would probably be what I try first, but it's hardly the only option and seen some people complain that it feels archaic (but it's FOSS). I've also seen draftsight recommended a few times, and it has a free trial but is not free.

    Also apparently fusion360 has a web interface that may be usable.

  • Just checked the app on my phone, 0 bites used, I don't really think they get any live data from it.

  • Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

    Jump

  • As much as i dislike google, chromebooks are perfect for anyone tech illiterate that just need a simple web browser that works. Every family member I've recommended a chromebook to has not needed additional tech support for it, which IMO, is a truly impressive accomplishment on google's behalf.
