  • Yes. I encrypt because theft. I know PopOS and Mint make it 1-click ez. …unless of course you want home and root on a separate drives. That scales difficulty real fast. There’s plenty of tutorials, and I managed, but I had to patch together different ones to get a basic setup-- Never mind understanding exactly what I did and repeating it (the latest challenge I’ve been dragging my feet on). I do hope this is an area that sees more development in the near future.

    Playing different Antes, Decks and Challenges has kept it fresh and interesting for me: forcing me out of my comfort zone to find new combinations and strategies that works. It might help to change the game speed to 4x so it’s not so showy with the jokers and you can iterate different strategies faster. Or it’s not your thing. Nothing wrong with that.



  • I respectfully disagree. While true that Houdini was one of the first visual effects softwares offering an indie license, it was by no means the only one. Substance comes to mind, before the Adobe acquisition.

    The timeline is also unconvincing: a considerable number of years elapsed after Houdini entered the market and Autodesk/Maya offered an indie license. However, is does coincide with better blender documentation and rise in YT content that rapidly grew the blender community.

    Houdini can do more than FX, sure, and I’ve consistently heard nothing but good things, but its professional use remains relatively [edit: departmentally] niche. So, it may seem to someone in the niche of FX that Maya is losing ground to Houdini, but on a macro level Blender has the features and price point to threaten a larger portion of Autodesk/Maya’s market share. In lieu of better data, I’ll refer to google trends of the three softwares in which Houdini is a flat line at the bottom. I will gladly consider data to the contrary if you have it.

    Either way, my main point was that competition is good, and who is responsible for how much doesn’t change that.




  • Autodesk Maya. Autodesk being the company, Maya the software. I disagree with the framing that Blender needs to develop (more) new tools [for the purpose of] competing. Maya is industry standard in animation mostly due to monopolistic practices (EG: purchasing competitors), not innovation or development. Blender needs more money to develop more tools. Full stop. Many professionals have been disappointed with Autodesk’s offerings and development, and look to Blender for innovation.

    I’m using xkb and modified the custom layout so RAlt is Altgr and layer 3 places arrow keys under my right hand and various brackets under my left when I hold right alt modifier. Sorry I can’t give more info at the moment. Feel free to message me if you pursue this and hit a wall. I can provide more details this weekend.

    [Edit: just saw the wayland info, apologies if that means xkb is out. Honestly don’t know the implications offhand. leaving this comment in case there’s anything useful]




  • Kudos on the release! And respect for using codeberg.

    I’m always on the lookout for a FOSS replacement to my biggest proprietary dependency, Obsidian (some exist, but too many tradeoffs so far). I didn’t see any mention of wiki-style links, is that out of scope? I imagine the encryption makes it complicated.

    Also, on the dev side, how has your experience with Tauri been? Have you tinkered with any other rust frameworks? How have you found their documentation?
