What’s even better than that view? The view from on top of Proposal Rock! This morning was my first time up there and it feels like a dream.

Linux Gaming: It Just Works™
---
Tried the Gears of War: E-Day multiplayer beta, and it runs great out of the box on Bazzite! PLUS, Microsoft account login is OPTIONAL!? I'll need to play this one with my brother. So many exceptional memories of us staying up until 3am playing Horde Mode.

Hey Andrew, good to hear from ya! You're 2/3 correct :)
I kept the Asus AMD "Advantage Edition" laptop, the MacBook (I've tried GameHub on it -- promising but not ready for prime time), and here's the twist: I kept the original Legion GO with Bazzite as my handheld.
Surprises a lot of people given my adoration of Steam Deck, but ultimately the higher performance, kickstand, and bigger screen for my 50-yr-old eyes led to the decision.

2026-08-14 21:47:42 UTC

OK, so here's the actual power + gameplay differences with the Black Myth Wukong benchmark:
**Full power, no framerate caps, etc = 215W with average 56FPS.
**60FPS cap + Bazzite Handheld Daemon on Powersave + going from 16 CPU threads to 8 CPU threads = 166W with average 48FPS.
Better FPS per Watt for sure, and I'm content shaving 50W to only lose a few FPS in a demanding game like that. This is promising!

2026-08-14 21:08:24 UTC

- reply

To give you an idea how much power you can save by simply capping things at 60fps: think about how much time you spend in menus with high fps.
For my AMD laptop, doing nothing else but capping the Black Myth Wukong benchmark to 60fps reduces total system power consumption from 204W to about 100W inside a menu screen.
That’s CRITICAL for my lifestyle, but that power adds up for anyone.

2026-08-14 20:31:54 UTC

- reply

OK, simply rebasing to the Bazzite handheld edition on my laptop makes a world of difference. Easy quality of life tweaks for the win (like global 60fps caps — that ALONE drastically reduces power consumption)
Long live Bazzite.
Long live Gamescope.
Long live Decky.

OMG I missed you, Bazzite. And I missed you, badass AMD gaming laptop w/ the crisp 1440p display.
I'm feeling under the weather today, so it's time to bust out this old beast and do some tuning with LACT (https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT) for the first time.
The goal is to severely cut max power draw for the Radeon 6800M so I can use it for extended periods with my power station. Because I miss gaming, damnit. And just because I'm living the nature nomad life, doesn't mean I want to give it up!

Tried to convince myself it wouldn't always be a time-consuming grind. That producing enough videos to make a meager enough revenue stream to survive on wouldn't result in burnout.
But it did. And the burnout struck fast and without any mercy."

Yea. Soooo...
Project Hail Mary, the novel, totally ruined the movie for me. I was expecting to LOVE the movie. I WANTED to love the movie.
Every plot point felt rushed. The scientific discoveries didn't feel earned because they just seemed to magically happen. ZERO mention of the very necessary, biological reason that Dr. Grace *had* to be the replacement astronaut. And so many emotional beats skipped or diluted.
I missed the HARD SCIENCE. Ultimately, I am sad to say I'm disappointed.

Today feels like a good day for real talk.
I can't keep doing Linux For Everyone. I can't be surrounded by tech all the time, or allow myself to slip back into that workaholic role.
I've tried to build several personal brands, and I always end up pouring EVERYTHING into them, and I lose myself, and get burned out on life.
I don't consider reviving L4E to be a mistake, though. The universe had another lesson to teach me, and I'm grateful for it.
Unfortunately, this isn't the right path for me.

The view from here as I write this is breathtaking. It's not some iconic site in Yosemite. It's not a developed campground strategically positioned to present beauty in all directions. It's just a dispersed camping spot near a forest road, west of Donnell Lake, a few miles off Highway 108.
And yet it's magnificent...

At 7:15 this morning I went to a spot at camp I'm calling Meditation Rock. I brought my coffee and my Nemo pad. I sat down, faced east, and waited for the sun to creep over the nearby mountain and warm my bones.
While I waited, I tried to meditate, but my mind is too busy for traditional meditation. Instead, I let nature be my mediation, and I felt a deep sense of peace and calm just observing the details of everything in front of me...

On behalf of all hikers and nature enjoyers, thank you for what you do out there. You're appreciated.

I snapped this blindly out my passenger window on the way up to Pinecrest Lake last weekend, and kinda love it. Apparently I caught a fragment of a rainbow, too! (Or *maybe* it's a circumzenithal arc?)

An open source project maintainer rejected code submitted by an #AI agent. Then the AI agent "wrote" and published a scathing hit piece about the maintainer.

87% of video games released in the U.S. before 2010 are technically unavailable for legal purchase.
As of 2026, libraries and archives can digitally preserve, but not digitally *share* games, and can provide on-premises access only. Libraries *are* allowed to share books, films, and music both onsite and remotely.
This is all very messed up.

Between AI and enshittification, It definitely feels like the right time to being back the gold standards from the classic web, especially RSS!

I know this #Discord nonsense has a lot of people searching for alternatives (like Matrix, Stoat, etc), and those alternatives have a chance to shine right now. BUT we need to go back to discussions and knowledge being searchable on the open web!
I say bring back the forums. It's time.

Mozilla: "We Choose Humanity."
Also Mozilla: "But let's keep talking about AI until we're blue in the face."
The saddest part is that the smartest marketing minds at Mozilla haven't figured out one simple truth: if Mozilla wants marketshare back, all it has to do at this point is completely REJECT everything AI. It's that simple.

It is the year 2026, and a Windows 11 installer can’t detect the WiFi adapter in this mini PC I’m reviewing.
And get this: it’s not accepting wired keyboard input to run OOBE\BYPASSNRO even though it accepts the shift+F10 to open command prompt!
But a live session of @npub1hpw…cd0d
has no problem with either device.

Though the RAM situation is so awful, they were only able to ship out a barebones unit. But hey that’s more fun anyway!

Suffice to say, it's time to ditch Alexa and bump Home Assistant a little higher on the priority tree of things to get set up.
Bonus points if I can "dumb-ify" my Samsung TV.

Over the weekend I got Pi-hole up and running (first time user), and it sure is eye-opening seeing what your devices are up to.
The screenshot that's all red, for example, is my Samsung smart TV, which is constantly talking to Netflix (and other domains, even when using my PC and not interacting with the "smart hub".) I haven't opened the Netflix app in at least two weeks.
The other one all in green (allowed for now), is my Echo Dot with Alexa. That thing is talking to Amazon constantly...

So I have a Foo Fighters flexi-disc, and that led me down a rabbit hole of research. This Tedium article is a FASCINATING read if you're interested in this peculiar (but historically awesome) media format.

This is a camera photo of a YouTube Short I published, playing back on my TV's YouTube app.
I do not look like this. I don't look this young and I'm not trying to. My face isn't remotely this smooth. My skin has blemishes, and freckles. My eyebrows are coarser.
YouTube's stupid AI upscaler has clearly made a pass, and I dislike it. I dislike it very much.
