  So, A1/A2 is yet another scale they invented because, why not.
  A2 is supposed to have more IOPS than A1, although in benchmarks, some A1s perform better.
  I wouldn’t worry too much about it tbh.

  So, the SD Association is absolutely fucking insane when it comes to giving labels to literally anything.

  The Steam Deck supports UHS-1 microSD cards.
  That’s the name of the bus. There’salso UHS-2 and UHS-3, but they’re backwards compatible with UHS-1, so that’s whatever.

  Speeds…
  Some cards used speed “classes”, like Class 10…
  There’s also U1 or U3 speeds (which is a speed rating independent of the bus. (A U3 cards is probably a UHS-1 card.
  Some have a speed rated with a V, like V10, V30, etc.
  They often have multiple labels too.
  These can all be used to label the speed of a UHS-1 card:
  UHS Speed Class

  • U1: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
  • U3: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.

  Video Speed Class

  • V6: 6 MB/s minimum write speed.
  • V10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
  • V30: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.
  • V60: 60 MB/s minimum write speed.
  • V90: 90 MB/s minimum write speed.

  Class 10

  • Class 10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed (legacy).

  Anyway, U3 is basically the same as a V30.
  U3/V30 would be the minimum I’d get for the Deck. Price being the deciding factor for the rest.
  I don’t really care if the card ever fails, so brand was irrelevant in my choice.

  I forgot to mention Ascent which is one of my favorites. I played it early 2024, which feels ages ago It’s a cyberpunk twin stick shooter RPG.
  It was really fun.

  It’s also one of the games for which I tweaked my SteamDeck controls a lot.
  I vaguely remember the right stick “snapping” too much for my tastes to the horizontal/vertical cross, which went completely away when I mapped it to a fake keyboard/mouse input instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name your most played and most surpring game you played on Steam Deck 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2024? Lots of different titles that I played for a while then moved on.
  Helldivers 2 was nice enough, I’ve also played a lot of Slay the Spire and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor.

  Most surprising (to me)… I got Moonstone Island on a whim.
  It’s usually not a game I’d get, but id that was fun, it’s kind of a mix of Stardew Valley, with bits of Pokémon and Slay the Spire.

  About on-par with the rest of their hardware.
  Expensive, fancy-looking, form over function garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you have your back buttons set up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the game a lot.
  Sometimes it’s just ABXY buttons where I don’t wanna move my thumb off the right joystick.
  Sometimes, one paddle activates a layer shift to have more mappings.
  Like if a game has more controls than you could fit, layers can help extend the possibilities and paddles area decent way of activating them.
  If a game is heavy on QTEs, like spam X really fast to do something, I might just map a paddle to enable a layer shift that turbo spams the other button.

  About 14 football fields, stacked up to the crossbar.
  according to GPT-4o-mini that I haven’t double-checked, which means it’s likely wrong somewhere.

  Summary of Paper Volume and Football Fields

  Data Capacity of a Letter-Sized Page

  • Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 inches
  • Average Text Capacity:
    • Approximately 500 to 600 words
    • About 2,500 to 3,000 characters
    • Roughly 2,500 to 3,000 bytes (using standard ASCII/UTF-8)

  Total Pages for 100 Exabytes

  • 100 Exabytes = 10^20 bytes
  • Average Bytes per Page: 2,750 bytes
  • Total Pages: Approximately 36.4 trillion pages

  Volume of the Paper

  • Volume of One Page:
    • Volume = 8.5 inches x 11 inches x 0.004 inches ≈ 0.000374 cubic inches
  • Total Volume for 36.4 Trillion Pages:
    • Total volume ≈ 7.89 million cubic feet

  Volume of a Football Field

  • Dimensions:
    • Length: 120 yards (360 feet)
    • Width: 53.3 yards (160 feet)
    • Height: 10 feet
  • Volume: Approximately 576,000 cubic feet

  Football Fields Needed to Hold the Paper

  • Calculation:
    • Number of football fields ≈ 7,890,000 cubic feet / 576,000 cubic feet ≈ 14
  • Result: Approximately 14 football

  It works the same a a remote instance lemmy page.
  Most likely .zip banned that community, which I’m also considering since it’s mostly spam.
  Actually, kbin itself is mostly spam lately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea… no moderation would mean flooding of ads, spam, porn, child porn, etc.
  I think it’s dumb af for someone like him to bitch about moderation.

  Example:
  kbin.social/m/opensource

  I’d definitely do this on a work computer, especially with the screen-on and printing requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of blood stains from paper?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is more for fabrics than paper…
  For blood stains, cold water is usually better than hot water.
  Hydrogen peroxide or salt water might work.
  Not sure that you can really remove a bad blood stain from paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cron job running, but script not doing anything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Errors while running cron jobs often generate “mail” whether you’ve set it up or not.
  You can likely check your mail by just running the mail command.

  Also, in your crontab, add >> /tmp/cron.log after your script, at least you’ll see whatever logs get generated from that.

  Most likely though, the script works when ran manually because it uses your user’s env variables, such as PATH.
  I usually just use absolute paths for everything when using cron and this takes care of the vast majority of my issues.
