Yeah weird in that regard that a car wash can render it non-functional if you forget to put it into car wash mode

I initially thought it was a joke

The folders actually do make sense.

Roaming: this data can be moved between machines in a domain if you have a roaming profile. E.g. go to another workstation and your browser configuration is the same? Means it’s in Roaming.

Local: this data will not be synchronized between machines when you roam. This could be your browser’s cache.

LocalLow: like local, but for applications that are “low integrity”, like Internet Explorer. These folders have special properties. https://helgeklein.com/blog/internet-explorer-in-protected-mode-how-the-low-integrity-environment-gets-created/

Ah, to be 13 again.

You can’t tell me you’re not using an extension cord for the controller

The same as for a lot of other use cases ;)

Yes! Apologies, didn’t proofread what my phone produced from swiping

NixOS has the best concept and even pioneered it, but whether its implementation and documentation is perfect is a topic for debate.

However, it’s been quite long since I had to fiddle with my config and as such, the downsides don’t really affect one on a daily basis. In fact, I recently reinstalled my machine to change the root filesystem and it was an absolute breeze. If not for secure boot, it would have been absolutely trivial, and with secure boot it was easy and convenient.

As such, I consider the pains an investment into system that runs much better down the road. Though I’d love it if these pains were reduced.

I’d personally advise against NixOS as a first distribution for that matter. It’s a great distribution, but if you want to understand the underlying mechanics, start with something where you interact with them, like Arch or whatever.

nixpkgs is holding out with it because it’s part of the current GNOME 46 draft pull request: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/282102

Though I agree it’d have made more sense to migrate to freerdp 3 earlier and have two versions available, like with pipewire.

There’s also a nix file in that discussion with a more recent version.

NixOS, did a ldd (which zstd) and then ldd on the reported libzstd file.

Not using a POSIX shell before people complain about syntax

Edit: if you look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/tools/compression/zstd/default.nix, you’ll see that buildInputs is not being set, which means it can’t link to anything except the standard libraries.

Maybe Debian’s goal is to make liblzma a dependency of everything possible? It wasn’t a standard dependency of OpenSSH either, but rather something they patched in. ;)

Here, it’s libzstd.so, libc and glibc, and libzstd only libc and glibc. What do you mean? At first I thought you were implying an liblzma dependency, but there’s no such thing, at least can’t see it.

As far as I know, you can use ChatGPT without a subscription, but still paid. I found https://nano-gpt.com/get-started the other day where you pay with cryptocurrency per request, I guess someone behind the scenes is paying the subscription and is offering this as a service. The model behind can be chosen. So in case you have some lying around, you can just use that, or if there’s more interest from others, give me the prompt and I’ll pay for it, still have Nano around.

Not the homie’s fault that the Dreamcast is the king of arcade accuracy, together with the Neo Geo AES.

The Dreamcast was just stronger than the PlayStation 2 when it came to putting sprites on the screen.

It was also the primary home platform for other, now legendary games, like Street Fighter 3 (not arcade perfect because it’s a port from CPS III) and Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2.

He’ll keep talking about it until you understand it

Fedora 41, Fedora Rawhide, Debian Sid are the currently known affected ones AFAIK.

Definitely not

The fact that I can’t seem to find traces of this game online makes me think that maybe my memory is wrong? But also hard to find information from back when the internet wasn’t flooded with stuff

I had a provider before that blocked tethering and hotspot, the solution there was also to increase TTL on the clients connecting to the phone by 1. The phone would lower it by 1 again, making it look like data originated from there.

Unreal Tournament 2k4 on one of the earlier Ubuntus, back when ShipIt was still a thing. Most have been around 2005 or 2006, as I used it in my mom’s flat which I moved out of in 2006.

I also played some games on an old version of Suse Linux back in 2001 or so? Maybe earlier? There was this game where you had to manage public transport in a city. Looked for that game recently but nothing came up. Also Kartoffelknülch back then. I tried to get some distributions running (like Mandrake) but only Suse somewhat worked. Being 14 and English not being your mother tongue doesn’t help with documentation when nobody in your family knows stuff about computers.

uTorrent sold out, its decline is not only due to BitTorrent becoming less popular, but also because what was once a very thin client at one point was bundled with malware so a lot of people kept using old versions or switched to clients like qBitTorrent
