KeePassXC and SSH Agent
A previous article discussed password management tools that use server-side technology. These tools are very interesting and suitable for a cloud installation.In this article we will talk about KeePassXC, a simple multi-platform open source software that uses a local file as a database.The main advantage of this type of password management is simplicity. No server-side …
I like how this article about KeePassXC mentions the SSH agent integration [that is usually skipped in such articles]. Good stuff:

Native Linux Gaming

…and then Valve dropped their Proton bomb
Did you know that you can play hundreds of games nowadays? Not just Windows through Proton – no. I’m talking about native games.

Bye Squeeze
Pulling the plug on old servers of mine always makes me sad.

Suspend On Systemd Based Systems
tl,dr: `systemctl suspend`
Sometimes I let my pc play music at night. Spotify still didn’t manage to implement a sleep function (even gorram Audible has this – and chances are the app crashes way before anyway).
I usually use `shutdown -h 60` or similar. Suspend tho? That’s another story. Hint: “suspend” is a bash builtin and not what you’d expect 😉
Looks like this changed (again) from `pm-suspend` to… systemd:
> sleep 1h; systemctl suspend
No sudo. yw.
NCDU
Did you know `ncdu`? I’m using this for years to find out where all my precious disk space is lost. Unlike other solutions it works in a terminal and this way even on remote servers… or gorram mobile phones always short on anything.

Portal
So.. computer games for small children.. that be Portal. Portal 2 to be specific. My kids started to demand me playing Portal 2 on the Steam Link in the living room. That game with the mean computer. Can’t argue with that ;-P
The Witcher 3

Playing The Witcher 3 on Linux. So much progress since my first play through 2 yrs ago when I hardly managed 25fps with many tweaks. Game is beautiful af and runs smooth on highest settings nowadays. This penguin is really happy. Attached images show GOG version run via Steam Play aka #Proton.
The Builder

Heh, that moment when you find an underground shrine dedicated to yourself raised by some nutters to appreciate your builds – that can only happen in #RisingWorld.
MAIA

This game is a little gem for colony/base builders (and mayhap even SIM players). There is so much going on and it takes some time to get all the details even at it’s slow pace. Sadly not much is explained in-game [yet?]. Figured most stuff out by playing or watching others play. I still absolutely recommend this. It’s very relaxing and hilarious fun at times when an unfortunate chain of events culminate in an unexpected disaster 😀
This game always had a very steady progress, unlike other EA games, and it was fun keeping an eye on it and watch the improvements over time. Remember that this is an Indie and not a huge studio. I’m a dev myself and I tell you it’s amazing what S. Roth managed to achieve here. He could also be reached e.g. via Discord or Twitter so I’ve absolutely no idea why some people here complain that they were ignored. Mayhap they were simply rude?

Don’t give the bad reviews [on Steam] too much credit. The annoying repeating crashes e.g. that many players describe did only happen in fact for Windows players due to a bug with async operations in a library from Microsoft. That was not related to the game itself, and is fixed by now. This game didn’t crash for me in hours on Linux so I believe this statement by the dev. And to this dude blaming this killed his hard-disk or boot-loader or whatsoever: Just no. This is not how computers work o0
