Cancelling Beyond Good & Evil 2 for a 13th time, huh?

Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe/Newswipe shows.

A lot of people missed those back in the day and they missed them as the origin of the voice of our generation: Philomena Cunk. I really miss her compatriot Barry Shitpeas.

Also Charlie Brooker’s police procedural sendup A Touch of Cloth starring John Hannah is similarly criminally underrated.

Just imho Brooker’s comedy is way better than his dark scifi of Black Mirror.

Just a warning, the episodes you’re really looking for will be episodes 5 and 6 and soon enough the focus on Bud’s buds will make more sense in context to the larger story and the connections to existing Fallout lore. So you’ve got two more episodes that might be kind of a slog for you (based on what you’re looking for) before it really picks up in terms of what you’re seeking.

Watch out I’m speeding up to pass you so it doesn’t look real!

Seriously though, I don’t entirely disagree, the season is too short for any storyline to really cook with only two episodes left.

I don’t really have an option. I have four monitors and four video outputs, and only one output is HDMI. In fact, three of the cables are DP to HDMI because I don’t have any DP capable monitors. So yeah.

Some weird quirk of its protocol basically fubars it.

Seems like this would be something to be producing logs on for community developers in hopes of finding a solution though. Could you maybe point me to the info you found on this? I’d be interested to see if there’s any timeline that anyone is working toward in fixing it.

Interesting, I find this season more intriguing as I think it overall has better character development, just not specifically as much for the main characters from season one. The strains between Barb Howard and Cooper Howard in their pre-nuclear war lives. This season spends much more time with Howard pre-war than post-war. More background on Hank MacLean and his philosophy and drives. While there is less focus on Lucy, she still is getting some growth as the wasteland begins to change her, from addiction to drugs to theft to murderous violence. I would say I am most disappointed with Maximus’ storyline this season just because it seems like he has less time for growth as much as events keep happening outside of his control, but perhaps that’s intentional, as he has a line that references that idea in a recent episode. Frankly, I also wish the seasons weren’t so short because I think Norm’s path is intriguing but hasn’t been given enough screen time to really develop, and the things he learns are important to the future of his origin vault.

They broke out in laughter again
His lip beaded with sweat as they strapped him in
As he stood by and waited to be called
The talk was of times that’d gone by
And the quantity and quality of women they lie
His eyes welled with wet and his mouth had gone dry

As he stood by and waited to be called
He stood by and waited to be called
He stood by and waited like the others before
For his turn to go over the falls

Well deserved, it’s a well written and executed show even for those unfamiliar with the games.

Come to Butthead.

And if editing fstab yourself is too daunting, there is also gnome-disk-utility which has a nice GUI for setting auto-mounts that edits fstab for you.

Heroic Launcher on Linux is pretty good as an Epic storefront and installer, honestly.

Good suggestion, but I just checked and my Wake-on-LAN settings are already disabled.

That sounds less like misconfigured DHCP and more like the wonky setup is preventing DHCP handshakes happening consistently, but could be several different issues, really.

What bothers me more is that the laptop doesn’t receive an IP address from my DHCP server over WiFi, while my wife’s Windows PC and my phone do. But that’s more likely due to a misconfigured DHCP server than the OS.

Do you have static DHCP IPs being handed out or do you mean it’s just not getting an IP from the DHCP pool? Because for static IPs with machines that sometimes connect via hardwire and sometimes connect via WiFi I always make sure to provision two separate IPs with the MAC addresses for ethernet and WiFi each assigned to the different IPs.

I have similar issues with even edited bluetooth config files occasionally being overwritten with a system update. Suddenly the way I had it set on purpose by editing the config file has been reverted back to the way I don’t want it.

They also go great with dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Screen blanking, or rather screen blanking not functioning properly.

I have literally spent 9 months researching every possible angle and even going as far as buying some of those Edid Emulator passthroughs for each monitor to see if those helped. Tried disabling the Kscreen manager in KDE. Tried manually controlling it via CLI and DPMS. Tried different mice and keyboards to see if it was my inputs waking it up. Tried making sure all the monitors had their auto-select input option disabled. Nope, my monitors blank for a second or two and then unblank immediately. The issue is present in both X11 and Wayland.

I have had to jump through hoops to enable a screen saver in wayland. I have to turn my monitors off manually every night. It’s really frustrating. It seems like a really simple thing, but it’s like, literally all I want is consistent screen blanking and I have spent the better part of 9 months on and off trying to find a fucking solution to no avail. I still have no explanation for why they wake instantly, they don’t seem to be triggered by anything on the system, based on the logs.

I even made a post asking for help regarding it here on Lemmy about six months ago. No luck.

It drives me up the wall because I’m actually really good at researching and finding solutions for problems I’ve run into online. This one mystifies and eludes me and while seeming minor I feel like is a genuine pain in my ass.

Related: Have an old laptop running a server OS with no GUI and have no ability to disable the monitor since technically there isn’t any monitor rendering set up, so all commands to screen blank the monitor fail because there’s technically no monitor to turn off according to the system.

I’m trying not to waste my time getting all worked up

Too late, you’ve done nothing but rant in this thread. Get over yourself.

Thanks for the link. I’m personally not even vegan and only what I call “half-vegetarian.” I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it’s dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.
