I'm wondering if there is a chance of a PC release. The modern-day system releases of the first two episodes are released to PS4 and Switch only.

Sadly I don't know what the actual uptime is but I think it's close to a year.

I hope it's not the start of the decline of the Xperia 5 series.

Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

wired.bluemarch.art runs on the cheapest Hetzner VPS, so €4.18 per month plus yearly domain cost. Right now there is only one active user on this instance so the price for an active user is a bit high, but I don't really care because I would pay for a VPS even when I don't run a Lemmy instance on it.

This method seems to not work reliably with Brother-HL-L2370DN-series printers right now. At least after a quick search I've found a bug report about an infinite loop problem in certain circumstances and sadly with my HL-L2372DN I was unable to print at all (infinite loop with occasional ! USB[0]: zero-size read error; CUPS 2.4.10 and ipp-usb 0.9.27).
For Brother HL-L2372DN it is possible to use Gutenprint with the supplied Generic PCL 6 Printer wide margin printer driver but two sided printing is quirky sometimes if you print odd number of pages.
Anyway, thanks for your post!

Phoronix did a really in-depth review of Zen 5 which is refreshing. From the Windows based gaming biased benchmarks you can't really see where Zen 5 really shines.
btw {"code":"command-failure","msg":"ffprobe Failed with exit status: 1"} on the tl;dr image.

> On this Saturday (tomorrow) my boss asked me to get to work, because of a “family day”, for no real pay and no additional leaves, especially not for a month at least, because the aforementioned construction work.
In normal circumstances you should've got a weekly work time schedule where it's written down and if there's no work for Saturday in that schedule then the call for Saturday work can be ignored. (Munka törvénykönyve 97. § (4).)
Thanks to "veszélyhelyzet" (bruh) that rule is temporarily changed now for national defense employees. (120/2020. (IV. 16.) Korm. rendelet 5. § (7).) If my interpretation is right that rule should remain unchanged for employees who are not a national defense employee.
I think you should read Munka törvénykönyve 56. A rendkívüli munkaidő too.
> In addition I also have epilepsy, and my medication has really strong side effects, many of which are so bad that I should have been given different medication, except my doctor refuses to see me.
I think you should search for an another doctor if you can. You don't have to visit your old general practitioner to sign up at a new one, they can exchange data behind the scenes.

I don't think so. As I see it in the Lemmyverse there are threads without comments (image posts for example) but if there's a topic with a question or where opinions can made you can find activity there.
Yeah, it's not a million subscriber reddit community level activity, but it's still activity.

I use Xfce on my computers except my Pi where I use Window Maker. Window Maker with its lower resource needs really helps when the Pi is used with resolutions over 1080p.

Where I can buy the cheapest non-counterfeit MC68000/MC68HC000 within the EU?
user68k 1 year ago • 100%
Thank you for your information. I did not know about Utsource but next time I am looking for an obsolete part it'll be definitely on my check list!
Hi, I am planning to build a computer based around a Motorola 68000 just for fun. I already ordered 3 MC68HC000FN20's from a Chinese eBay seller but they are visibly rebadged chips with rough surface so there's a chance they are not 68000's at all - we'll see when I can test them in an open loop as described in '68000 Hardware Manual'. Anyway, I think it would be wise to buy a non-counterfeit one from a trusted seller. I tried to search for a shop where 68000's still sold and I found that I could buy a "MC68HC000FN, 20 MHz" or a "CPU 68000/8 MHz Motorola (64-pin DIL)" from Vesalia Computer for 11.9 EUR. I would like to ask is there a trusted shop where I can buy a not necessarily NOS MC68000/MC68HC000 for a cheaper price within the EU?

This Is Not A Faceless Megacorporation: a second reminder to be measured in what you expect of us
user68k 1 year ago • 100%
I think people sometime think they deserve the same experience on a different environment just because they are used to one behavior pattern. As more and more people sign up for a Fediverse instance there is a chance the number of people who thinks like that will increase.
For them I recommend to think twice before they become impatient. Fediverse is for people, by people. Who usually work on their instance in their free time.
As a conclude I would like to thank most of the Fediverse instance operators and users for what they are doing. Without them the Fediverse would be a deserted place.
