Honestly I just installed in from flatpak and called it a day and never had issues. maybe your specific game has issues but it’s been hit after hit for me, especially useful for the games I don’t own on steam.

Lutris is probably your best bet, also try bottles.

It exists, but it’s generally really small shops that I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending.

The bigger hosting providers are fine with the status quo, because it means their support tickets are from people who at least know something about anything rather than complete noobies who need help resetting their password (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just higher volume and not what hetzner staff is trained on)

Any shop large enough that this is such a massive undertaking is large enough that the people who care about this aren’t the people making financial decisions.

The good news is this is horrendous for finance as well so unless you cut a deal for your licensing costs because you’re a titan, you’ll be switching.

Exactly. All enterprise software pricing is about liability and how much blame you can put on the software vendor when everything goes wrong.

Of course, your company’s employees are still going to be the ones picking up the pieces but you get to tell your investors “actually it was VMWare’s fault”. And you can’t do that with OSS, even if you’re buying support.

My mom kicked me out when I was 18 and I was homeless for 2 weeks. She took me back in when uni started.

This is one of the reasons I don’t speak to hear anymore. At all.

This year, she sent me texts demanding to see me on my birthday. I did not speak to her. At all.

I am now waiting for her to die and for one of my siblings to inform me. Apparently, my sister (who lives in another country, we don’t talk much) is also done with her and doesn’t talk to her at all. I guess our brother will let us know.

What I’m getting at is that you are under no obligation to cater to people who don’t want to tolerate you in the first place. If a guy you lived with for a while was an asshat and demanded to see your children, you’d think he was demented. But suddenly he nutted in your mother once and now it’s fine? Family means nothing on its own. Family means you have a default group of people you interact with, but it’s up to each individual to actually be friends and allies with their family members, and if someone isn’t being a good friend or a good ally, and even is actively antagonizing you, then why do you still feel like you owe them anything? What do you mean “finally getting to the point you should accept it”? Accept him into your life? Why?! What good will that ever do to you? Oh sure maybe you’ll get to think “well I made amends before he died” once he’s dead. Guess what, if you’ve never held a grudge against him like you seem to imply, then it’s actually not up to you to make amends. Don’t tolerate bullshit from people just because they happen to be related to you.

It’s unclear to me how the blue ones are supposed to work? Are you just going to wire stray wires to the appropriate places and put mostfets there? That sounds dreadful. Soldering to the already tinty pads next to the processor with a ribbon cable was already a pain, I don’t see a reason your should pay more to subject yourself to a worse experience.

I heavily suggest using a ribbon cable model such as this (I haven’t tested that particular vendor, the one I used is gone, this is just an example): https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005989694443.html

Ribbon cable models have all the parts premounted, you just need to solder it in place which is hard enough. It’s also unclear to me how the emmc stuff happens without a ribbon cable.

Other things I bought according to my AliExpress history:

• a set of switch opening tools and screwdrivers
• flux
• kapton tape (I wrapped the chip in it entirely)
• fine tweezers
• a better soldering station
• solder wick

Oh, it’s not just P2P. There are ways to make P2P networking work, but GTAO has several inherent networking flaws.

One of them is that a client is understandably responsible for computing things around it (pedestrians etc). This is fine in itself but what if two people meet and one leaves? What happens to the things it was computing?

Well, clients can send a packet that means “don’t worry I got it from here” that they can send to other clients to tell them that from now on, they will be the one computing a specific thing. Non-hacked clients are programmed to always agree. No matter what the thing is.

Unrelated, here are a few example of the types of things that are affected by this:

• pedestrians
• NPC cars
• various props
• empty cars
• cars with other players in them
• other player’s avatars (which are considered special pedestrians)
• various item pickups
• vehicles other than cars
• various scripts that have to do with single-player interactions, such as the casino wheel, slots, biker gang actions, etc.

This means that as a hacker, you get to decide what happens with the car somebody is driving, and change whatever attributes you want about it.

Note that this also means that any client is free to spawn any of the above items at any point, including the money bags spawned by tellers when you rob them (R* does do some checks when you tell them your new account balance but it’s really not that hard to bypass). Any client is also free to change anything about these items. Color, license plate, engine upgrades, hell, even straight up engine variables. And other clients have to accept that that happened, because that’s how the protocol is written.

This is just for regular stuff though. Hackers can already massively affect the game this way but there is some stuff they can’t do. Until they become the most senior client of the session (for example by crashing anyone more senior than them through various exploits - patched in their own clients of course).

Being the oldest client in a session means you become the script host, and when you’re script host, you unlock additional things that everyone agrees are your responsibility, such as what time of day and weather it is. Overall being script host isn’t that desirable because it doesn’t grant stuff that is really strong, just stuff that has wide impact (for example I think the script host has the capacity to make it winter anytime, but it’s just not that funny to do that after the 2nd time).

It’s much less funny than it seems. Inside jokes (that way the next time someone makes the joke, you link them thejoke.com or whatever and that’s a bit funny, or just phrases that sound hilarious when you’re on discord at 5AM (I used to own poggers.ninja which I thought was incredible for some reason)

Yeah but the whole point was that the @ would replace the a. Besides I have decided I would stop buying domains for single jokes.

I own poggers.website which is always funny when I tell people to look at my “poggers website”.

At some point I tried to register chee.se so my email could be themoonis@chee.se but unfortunately it’s a 4-letter domain that spells a common word, so it’s squatted to hell and back.

What a shitty article. The entire point is “well, they’re not wrong that Google is evil and clearly wants to kill adblockers, but they’re MAYBE factually incorrect on some aspects”, reported by the extension developers themselves (who may or may not be more knowledgeable about this than the author).

Yes, it might be the case that extensions manage to work through the limitations and still limp along. In fact, this is probably what’s going to happen. The point still stands that MV3 will severely gimp adblockers and Google knows what it’s doing, the factual aspects of which (that the author doesn’t actually know about, by the way) are largely irrelevant.

VMware has the massive advantage that all the money you’re throwing at them gives you support. Yes, communities can and do offer similar if not better support than paid offerings but tell that to the people who decide what software you’re buying :)

Well, I mean, that. It’s very capable but Microsoft gimps it by bundling it with windows server. The fact you have to use RDP to administer it is itself a non-starter.

VMware is effectively a monopoly on entreprise virtualization. What else are the costumers going to pick?

HyperV is a joke, promox is amazing but it’s free software, and every other relevant provider is just a layer on top of VMware.

The main problem here is that IRC moke libera has a lot of random ephemeral users who join once and leave soon after. For the bridge, this means creating a matrix account on the instance and either deleting it, which creates problems down the line and is inefficient, or leaving it be, which means the instance fills with a crazy number of inactive accounts really fast.

My experience as well. Yes there are problems sometimes but across 1k+ hypervisors that’s going to happen.

Untrue. Most electronics are special made for black Friday and are worse products marketed as just the same.

Been looking at these for a while but I can’t seem to decide on one, any suggestions?
