Not costly in anything but time, but I tried to crossgrade an i386 server to x86_64. Eventually it got broken enough that I restored from a backup and just rebuilt a new server from scratch in a VM to replace it.

Yet another dating app that gives me trust issues. ;_;

Should I play this even though I’ve not played the first 63 Zeldas?

Gender PHP extension is a port of the gender.c program originally written by Joerg Michael. The main purpose is to find out the gender of firstnames. The current database contains >40000 firstnames from 54 countries.

For anyone curious but not curious enough to go digging around.

Alt+SysRq+C, although your distro may have it disabled by default.

A fair warning though, safety is relative and crashing the kernel can be destructive. Make sure you have backups when breaking things.

I see lots of people recommending immutable distros to new users as if they are able to debug the inevitable breakages that occur or difficulty installing external programs.

Unless it’s a JavaScript app which uses some random build system (that was popular when they started work on the app but is now outdated) that you need to set up and learn.

Or it’s a Python app that doesn’t work because you don’t have the right version of python and backwards compatibility is a myth.

Ehh… I’ll do it tomorrow.

Oh lmao, I decided to look into this. https://github.com/flathub/com.ktechpit.torrhunt/blob/master/com.ktechpit.torrhunt.yaml

Looks like it just downloads the .snap package (directly from Canonical’s website) and extracts it. It’s also, of course, completely closed source so who knows what it’s doing when it’s running.

Personally, I think that the discussion around this will evolve as the news spreads, but I agree with Robert on this one. Sure, X/Twitter has become a less welcoming place than before, but shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn’t a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.

Nah, I think I’m cool if Debian doesn’t respect the input of Nazi sympathisers.

Now we just need to find a way to integrate systemd into wayland and watch people lose their mind.

I can’t believe they can ban people from the Year of the Linux Desktop.

… The paranoid part of me wonders if blocking Steam Deck support might be part of a settlement agreement with Nintendo…

I know it’s difficult, but I’d like for a terminal to have copy-paste work correctly, even over SSH. Most of my shell config fiddling has been trying to get copy-paste working through tmux+emacs+ssh in a way that doesn’t require xsel.

Other than that, one thing I’m missing from Alacritty is tabs. I know I can/should use tmux, but oftentimes I’ve launched a long-running command and then realized I want to do something else in another terminal.

The question is, what applications would run in ReactOS that wouldn’t run through Proton/Wine? Some applications require relatively obscure userspace quirks and tricks, in which case it doesn’t matter if they’re running through Linux+Wine or ReactOS+Wine if Wine doesn’t implement them.

Other than that, the rootkit anticheat that makes so many games not run on Linux are written by companies that have a near hostility towards Linux and open computing in general. If some version of their anticheat happened to work in ReactOS, they’d patch that out super fast. Same with DRM stuff.

Linux and Windows are, I think, too different conceptually to copy things from one to another. And I’m not sure what Linux-compatible innovation that ReactOS would have that hasn’t already been thought of. Performance of the Windows kernel is, at best, average.

Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

Looking at this guys other posts it could just be some bizarre attempt at absurdism?

How would this work? As I understand it, GE is used in things like Heroic or Lutris where you typically just point it to the exe directly (unless you own Skyrim on gog, I guess?). In that case, wouldn’t it be easy enough to point to the modloader exe rather than the main game exe?

Even if it could happen through steam (can GE be added to Steam?), wouldn’t Steam’s mandatory automatic update thing cause issues meaning you’d just launch it through your mod loader anyway.
