As soon as Siemens restarts support for NX on Linux I'm so gonna push for us to switch the rest of the clients. Windows is a nightmare to work with...

Which I honestly think is an issue of its own. Con block hotels might not always be the cheapest option, but they provide an incentive to keep prices low in other places.

I dunno, I like to stay as close to a con as possible, makes it easier to store stuff and retreat if needed.

That I don't know... Out of the big American cons I've only been to MFF. (Tho main looked like elevator con...)

Ok now I'm starting to wonder how large EF could get at the current location... I've been told not *that* large, but what is the limit?
Hotels were already difficult from when I checked

To be clear: NFC was a blast, going again this year and I wanna try EF too. But afaik there's nowhere you could hold a 20k con in EU if size is what you're after. And it would be cool imo to have like one of that level here.

I was at NFC last year which is now capping attendance at 5.5k due to space limitations. EF had 6.7k this year and had to rent a convention center, which in contrast to the US ones is not attached to a hotel complex, as well as not being anywhere the size.
Large cons exist but EU large != US large

I wish we had an MFF-like in Europe. We just don't have the locations to even house that size of a con.

Happy lap round the sun complete day! Keep doing what you do, the world would be a grimmer place without you!

Apart from the fact that my VRChat client had an awful case of the stutters today lol

You guys wasted no time at all

Honestly what annoys me the most is that as an engineer, the whole server architecture is still quite relevant. X-forwarding is just such a helpful tool. I get the trade-offs but damn

I love how in Wayland random things just crash random other things. Tabletop simulator crashes Discord. VPN crashes start menu.
What?

Mist.

So basically go smoothly from tempo A to B, instead of just having a tempo marker, and having samples change speed gradually with the automation

Depending on your setup, a friend has tried both and they seem to work

Fair warning: Ubuntu can be totally fine or quite broken. It's a bit hit or miss. If it's the latter, don't give up, there's others.

And once you're comfortable tinkering a bit, there's even open source Linux stuff to get VR going, but one step after another.

sudo systemd enable --now sshd
