Safe here, we use 999
- Comment on How long do you keep your backups? 3 days ago:
Most of what I would use proxmox for doesn’t even require backing up. A copy of each VM when it is setup and possibly update that every few years would be plenty.
I think you can export the whole VM? Using virtualbox currently which has import/export appliance. Doing that on an infrequent basis is pretty much what I would need.
- Comment on How long do you keep your backups? 3 days ago:
Other than my password manager database, the rest of my backups are not overly valuable. I don’t really need my 2016 factorio saves, but I have them. Adding more things to backup is minimal effort so I do, but if the space taken up becomes a concern there is plenty I could trim from it.

I install gimp on my work PC. Anubis isn’t weird enough.
- Comment on RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow 1 week ago:
I have liked all the DLCs. Probably royalty the least. Biotech and ideology tied for top and they go together really well. The most recent 2 are also pretty fun.

Yeah there may well be some fairly reasonable hardware configs that are powerful enough to run the game but end up unsupported because of the vulkan requirements.
But you can always stick to 1.6 if your hardware can’t run 1.7, so its not too bad.

I have them but I bought the game before it was even on steam. Then I got each DLC as it came out.
Game is great without them so don’t worry about not having them. Then if you like the game you can collect them over time if you want to.

Forget android. Linux phones can now run Factorio!

I suspect it depends on what kind of monitor you can afford. Its likely to fill more of your field of view.
But you could also just get a larger monitor so that it does fill your field of view. At some point its annoying to turn your head to see the whole screen so there is also a point it gets too big.
Its a virtual monitor though, so you can adjust it easily. I can certainly see the use in that, but on the cost side of things I would still go with a regular monitor.

How good is the detail on it for that, would it look like a somewhat lowres virtual monitor/projector? But I could see a use for that still, and if pixel densities can continue to improve it will only get better.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
What is HDR support on Linux like these days? Not looked into it too much as I am pretty sure my monitor isn’t HDR.
Would love to see some different monitors to actually compare tbh. My current screen essentially has built in motion blur, most visible with text if moved across the screen there is a slight trail behind it. I think its a common thing on loads of screens but some are better than others.
That kinda stuff also gets into the area where its harder to tell which screen is better, resolution and refresh rate are easy stats to look at.
- Comment on Steam Frame Release 5 weeks ago:
Had a VR headset but didn’t really use it enough to justify the cost tbh. These are double the cost too.
If I had that much money to spend I think it would be better to spend it on a screen instead of a VR headset. Should look up screens actually, aren’t they usually getting better/cheaper still unlike all other components? Could probably get a really nice screen for the cost of an RTXanything at this point.
Not that my current one is bad though. 1440p 144hz, think its only like 5 years old. Of course £1k could get something much better.
