Valmond,

Does Mint let you do that? I was mildly annoyed about having the “bar” only on one screen, I did some looking around but didn’t find anything useful.

Valmond,

Hey it actually works! But it only gives me an empty one 😅

Valmond,

Is there some way to mirror the original bar? I’d like access to open folders & softs on both.

Thanks again!

Valmond,
  1. achtually 1111 (as the new 100 will be targeted as well and so on)

🙂

Valmond,

What about the illegal, but moral acts?

How do we know if there aren't a bunch of more undetected backdoors?

I have been thinking about self-hosting my personal photos on my linux server. After the recent backdoor was detected I’m more hesitant to do so especially because i’m no security expert and don’t have the time and knowledge to audit my server. All I’ve done so far is disabling password logins and changing the ssh port....

Valmond,

Well not too up to date as we just have witnessed 😁

Valmond,

Thank you will check out! I always thought it was realtime.

Valmond,

Or even better Advance wars on my gba micro! 😎 Such a shame that my DS linker died some years ago and there seems to be no new ones, good screen and lots of nice games (I used it for GBA games too because of the screen).

Valmond,

I’m not a that huge fan of the a bit too random probability to win in PD, have only played the original though…

Valmond,

Thanks, gotta see if a 22 yo game still has it :-)

Valmond,

Interesting, will definitely check out now. Thanks!

Valmond,

Already had it installed 😊 but didn’t get through the tutorial, a mix of too much “stuff” hard to grasp (right away, I mean it’s the tutorial).

Valmond,

You mean Heroes of Might & Magic? I remember there were several closely named ones. Played the 3 so much :-)

Valmond,

Already tried it :-) a bit ooold but I’ll try to plod along for a while.

Stoneshard looks promising, if it works on Linux it’d be a breeze to setup from steam too, thanks!

Valmond,

Thanks, will check out the 4 :-) !

Valmond,

Will check out, thanks!

Valmond,

I already have that one on steam, good catch, I’ll check if it runs well on my little linux box!

Valmond, (edited )

Can someone back up my claim that 10-20GB writes per day is nothing for a modern SSD?

Edit: with a 256 TBW and a 20GB write/day it gives some 13.000 days so the lifespan of an SSD will largely be the limiting factor.

Valmond,

Yeah even the free email is perfect IMO. Got the VPN packade (and more IIRC), very very cheap, fast, and no bullshit.

Valmond,

I wouldn’t put it past Microsoft trying to spy on you, just changing some line in that 11 pages thing you click “OK” to because you don’t have an alternative.

Is there a unified scanner (the hardware) driver like what we have for printers?

I’m building a sw that should be able to read the papers read from a scanner and process them with a minimal user interaction, basically I don’t want the user to jump into another sw, output an image or doc, and insert that into my sw, this kind of problem seems to be fixed when it comes to printers printing, but I...

Valmond,

I know TWAIN, so mow I’m curious what SANE stands for.

Valmond,

Lol 😁 those people sure do know how to acronym!

Valmond,

If someone on my instance checks out a post with one of your photos, it will be downloaded to the pictrs folder on my server, and then served to the user. This is how Lemmy works.

I don’t see how your boost can manage to delete it from there.

Valmond,

Fuck them all (and so much much more the russian oligarchs) but actually a bit funny.

Valmond,

HAAAARGH!!! <= Guys red face

Valmond,

I imagine open source boot software being better than closed source (a real no brainer) but whats the difficulties with the open one? I’m not very versed in those very low level things.

Valmond,

Are there no mandatory service in the USA?

Cronjobs: When First Connected to Internet

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to instruct cron to carry out a command when a connection to the internet is first made after boot? I have a few jobs that only need to be done once per day and require an internet connection e.g downloading the weather forecast and my rss feeds. I’m not always connected to the internet on boot...

Valmond,

If it should be done say only twice a day, then your way would be completely cumbersome.

Valmond,

This is a great explanation! I have struggled so much (and feared messing the fstab up) now I will be able to change my clunky HD where my home lives 😊 thanks!

Valmond,

Dick in French is, you guessed it, female.

Valmond,

How does that work out? I mean in french you’d gender it by what it is defining. A yellow car, the “A” is gendered the same as the cars gender.

Oh.

I think I get it. That must be confusing for foreigners!

Cheers Polish brothers and sisters!

Valmond,

So a bit like French maybe, faché, fachée, fachés or fachées for example depending on gender and numbers.

Valmond,

They’ll just find the signal in what you’re doing. Sorry but checkmate, mate.

Valmond,

Use png and IDK I don’t remember which cmd line soft but it stripped out unused colors and compressed images like that one hard.

That, without the red lines and circles, and without jpeg jitter should be like 1kb. Or less less.

Now, as an oldtimer, when you load that 1kb image up, it will still take like 640x320 bytes (it was all 8bit) so 200KB of RAM. But back in the day I guess it was more like the original GB 160x144 so 22.5KB RAM needed to show that image.

Did it work like that?

No, because cartridges didn’t have a lot of space, and the consoles didn’t have much RAM, so you used tiles. You had a tile map image, each tile was 8x8 pixels pointing to a palette (so you could use 4-bits for the color. More or less so, there were a lot of ‘modes’). Each tile had a number and your screen was some 20x18 tiles x 1 byte numbers, designing the ‘tile’ to be shown at that particular position of the screen.

All done by hardware so way fast!

To make the scrolling run you had a ‘delta’ pixels to slightly move the “screen” around.

Fun times.

Time to go to bed 😪😴

Valmond,

Yes yes! But wasn’t there some limit, like if you had a 1Mbit cartridge you still had to shuffle the data around? Or was it just a penalty to map a different chunk of memory?

My memory is sure not that fast or reliable:-)

Valmond,

The plane.

Valmond,

The screen is already modded lol

Valmond,

Might this be our first Lemmy hug of death 😚🥳?!!

Valmond,

Yeah wild times, those cigarette commercials too man, “doesn’t take your breath away” with two tennisplayer girls smoking…

Valmond,

I have the same but without the workout…

\s

Valmond,

What about 2024?

Valmond,

The market will regulate the market.

Promise!

Valmond,

You can wire up a computer like people did in the eighties. Beep beep boop boop.

Designing modern cpus is crazy complicated and expensive.

Valmond,

But made its best to make you stay on the page over the 12 second watermark or some SEO bullshit.

Valmond,

Aargh triggering shit yeah it’s horrendous what funneling everyone on the internet through a single (or so) “research portal”

Valmond,

Thanks I’d look it up, guess CNIL might be a start.
