After some time off I finally managed to release the next episode of my little Cube 2: Sauerbraten map building . Today we'll learn about ho lighting works in this game. youtu.be/SxpeFFzXEYA

A 3D game scene from Cube 2: Sauerbraten showing a floating grassy island with winding dirt paths, two tall cylindrical brick towers, scattered stone structures and platforms, and a hazy blue sky. The Cube 2 Sauerbraten logo is in the top‑right corner, and the word ‘Lighting’ appears in large white text at the bottom.

Probably because the entire drive is actually 8 TiB in size and therefore, around 76% full. I guess.

@traecer Yep Winblows calls this "fast boot" and is enabled by default. The funny thing is, they started the discussion because someone of them was complaining about their Win 11 Laptop and how slow it is. Then someone brought Macs into the mix and the 3rd one mentioned how Mac are superior due to the "fact" mentioned before. I am also pretty certain if person A would wipe Winblows and either reinstalls or put Linux on it, it will be as fast again

Had a discussion recently. Someone praised the boot speed of a recent M4 Mini and how it only took it 10 seconds to boot up and that you do not get this on any other hardware and operating system. I tried to explain that Mac's by default do not cold boot but hibernate. While 10 seconds are pretty long for booting up from hibernate. Meanwhile my 13 years old low-end Laptop, which actually cold booted took 14 seconds. They didn't listen of course ...

A Linux Terminal showing systemd-analyze which reports the time the system took to boot up with 13.9 seconds. Below is a print of neofetch showing system specification such as the operating System: Kalpa Desktop, CPU: Intel i5-3230M and GPU: GT 730M

@nixCraft But I already did so in 2019. If I reinstall all my systems, can I make it double the year of my linux desktop? 👀

@nixCraft Worst thing, no matter how many AI channels you set to "Never recommend videos from this channel" or "Not interested" YouTube just spits out even more AI junk ... It's like a hydra. Cut of one head, 3 new spawn.

Wrote a little guide on how to install and setup @kalpa for the meantime while the dedicated installer is still in the works due to working on it's KDE Initial System Setup (KISS). While I like Kalpa a lot installing it is not very trivial: docs.z-ray.de/docs/kalpa-deskt

One of them also appreciated the lack of DRM video playback which allows them to host a watch party. Or better said the lack of blacked out rectangle where a video should play if streaming via Discord for friends.
