I don't have a 3d printer though I will see if any public library has one I can use. Making it by hand instead of a 3d printer is something I have not seen done so it may not be practical.

Thanks I haven't done any 3d printing before but I will look into if any libraries have a 3d printer and if recycling plastic to make the filament is also an option. Either way it 3d printing the the holder and building the container to attach it to out of recycled material would be better than buying a new one out of new plastic.

Its the little circle thing you clip the disc onto that goes through the hole of the dvd to hold it in.

 

I have a few dvds with some missing their cases and was wondering if anyone has tried making their own. The problem with a lot of tutorials is you already buy a basic case to modify that already have the push buttons. From searching online I have found them refereed to as push hubs and spider hubs though there doesn't seem to be a consistent name for them.

Just an update since youtube blocked invidous it has been a lot harder to use, jing rocks is the only one working for me atm. Piped seems to also not not be working. Youtubes illegal monopoly needs to be broken up.

Canabis driver: Where to?

Bag of weed strapped into the backseat: Says nothing because its weed.

Cannabis driver: Okay to the dispensary it is.

Does Sam Conman really think people will fall for this?

The OS that comes preinstalled will always have the largest market share unfortunately. The average person is not going to install a linux iso to a usb and disable bitlocker and whatever else windows adds to make it harder to change the OS. That is before even setting it up and making sure everything works. It helps if you are friends with someone that is into installing operating systems that can help you but not everyone has that friend. The best linux can do is try and keep microsoft in line. Valve has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that regard. It is also why user friendly distros are so important. Somebody who thinks emails and the internet is the same thing is not going to go for Arch.

I do think linux needs some tools that automate that sort of thing so the 18 steps becomes like 3. It doesn't even need to be by the distro itself but scripts made for it. I managed to make a script that does the same thing as robocopy does on windows to replace a certain rundata file for gamemaker 8.1 since it had that glitch that caused the the rundata to become invalid. I did share that script on my magazine in kbin.run and kbin.social unfortunately both are defunct but I could always share it somewhere else or make a community where people ask for help with installing stuff and people make a script for it like /c/makemeascript or something. I will have a look at the affinity suite and see what steps it takes to see if It is something I am skilled enough to automate.

Would games with anticheat work in a windows 10 vm? I am not interested in games that go out of their way to not work in wine but if it works in a vm of windows 10 you might be able to use that for gaming and whatever host os for your web browser emails etc.

I know the value of a collectable would accumulate over time but the thought of a 30 year comic book doubling in value in a year when it turns 31 is kind of funny to think about.

 

For example people consider ps2 retro but I always considered retro being in the 80s and earlier. No right or wrong answers it was just something I was curious about.

Its one of my favourite abandon-ware games. I have been more interested in the campaign so I used the all in one launcher for singleplayer though I could only get 1.06 to work in wine since 1.09 in the launcher made some sort of call to the windows task manager which results in an error. I have used micro 10 in a virtual machine to test things other than bfme2, Using a vm or dual booting is a good option if you want to play bfme2 in multiplayer. I will test it out if I ever feel like playing multiplayer though I imagine most of the players are really good at pvp.

I recently decided to reinstall linux mint 21.3 Cinnamon to clean any extra packages I installed over time so I didnt have to manually look for and uninstall packages that I no longer use. Though when I tried to run lutris it would no longer run so instead of trying to get it to work I thought I would try pop os. First thing I noticed when installing Pop OS was the different layout. I was use to the linux mint layout since I went from windows to Mint. I never used Mac so this layout might seem normal for mac users. So far I have reinstalled Lutris and got lord of the rings the battle for middle earth 2 to run. This is part2 of my first post from a few months ago. 1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts.

 

I have been getting into emulation though there is no emulation community here to talk about it. I assume emulation discussion in gaming is welcome any thoughts?

 

I have only been browsing here occasionally so I am not sure what all the new things happening here are. I did notice kbin.run is down so I am not sure what is going on with that.

 

This can also apply to peertube instances if you use that.

 

This seems like an odd question I know but I have been thinking there are probably so many theoretical hobbies that nobody has actually done before.
