Sure, no problem: ssh root@euv-deep-space-cleanroom-4. Followed-by: rm -rf --no-preserve-root /. I do this all the time, to increase revenue stream.

Try to clean your USB stick. Remove the worm and maybe use a cloth to remove the dirt.

Try C-band UV Lamp instead.

nowadays there is also malware that actually infect the firmware. Meaning just wiping the content isn't good enough anymore. Same is true for BIOS worms/infections.

@Aatube It seems that Mbin isn't handle those changes correctly and change the thread/post type after such a change.

Try Void Linux.

What is a backup?

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Understood. I'm also maintainer of several AUR packages.

I hate smoke alarms, especially since I have Tinnitus. So indeed I throw those away.

Mbin is a fork, Kbin is currently not in active development. See also: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

No not really. The problem is that Ernest wants to be a final person that does all the checks/reviews/etc. Creating a bottleneck in the process. Hence Mbin was created to give much more developers and contributors the rights to review each other code and merge code (also known as pull requests). And using the C4 specification. See: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md and: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Remember Unity?

nice

is Wine with -O3 and -march=native a placebo?

For nerd purposes I’ve been trying to custom compile Wine to see if i can squeeze some performance out of it, i pulled out the -g flag and put in its place -O3 with march native. i don’t know how to benchmark properly to see if there at least a marginal gain, so idk if it is a placebo or not. tried to search for articles in...

I think the position of the moon and the sun and the relationship between the two has more effect

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The reason I don't wanna use flatpack

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

good ;) I knew what it was, but I think it can be very helpful for others.

/me stil trying to get MS Office working under Wine.. But this Wine under Wayland is great news! I'm the developer of WineGUI so I'm in!

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yea indeed.. I try to get MS Office 2019 working.. Which is... challenging. Just installing msxxml6 & riched20 won't do it.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Ps. And don't get me started on Office 2021.

I'm going to move to Void Linux soon as well! I'm very excited.

But I did saw this simple ln -s (symlink) between the /etc/sv folder and /var/services. But who is maintaining / creating those runit files? The Void community? What if something is indeed missing?

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html *

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Another reason to move to Linux ;P

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Try Linux Mint with XFCE. I don't see this RAM usage issue at all. I have Firefox open with several other apps in the background again running XFCE with Linux Mint (Based on Ubuntu), it's using 1.9GB RAM total (thus below the 2GB).

You have the same problem with Steam already for years.. I mean you do not have a physical copy anymore. In fact if Steam is down, you might not be able to download, play or play multiplayer. So you own nothing and be happy - WEF.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I did thought you were crazy in the past indeed. Since digital is the future, right? It might still is, but for some reason all game studios, producers and distributors like ubisoft or steam just create bad software/games. Where you need 24/7 internet connection and doesn't allow you to own a digital offline copy of the product. It's not just games.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Nope.. Some games will fail to start if the "main" server is down or some authentication server or whatever server it nowadays might depend on. So even if you install a game now and let it rest of years, the changes it will start again over 10 years is very low. I'm not even talking about multiplayer, since multiplayer will be definitively broken by then. And LAN features are no longer implemented by game devs.

I do agree that gamepass will only make matters worse.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Some games might work fine, I mentioned "some" game will fail. Especially if they require you to login first to some kind of auth. server.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I think it also had to do something with Google Assistant that get replaced by LLMs, as stated in the article.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Or moves on to another game ;P

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Not Melroy.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I think there will be a PC launch eventually.. Like always.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Love it!

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Thank you so much for your kind words!

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Indeed leave Google Chrome all together yesterday already. Install Firefox

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Well they should be afraid. I want a ARM Linux laptop as well. Or even better RISC-V! Yes plz.. THE WORLD NEED RISC-V, Yesterday.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Sounds legit

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Pidgin. That failed. Then we have matrix. That kinda failed. And now beeper?

I don't know..

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Well.. I said 'kinda failed'. Synapse is still way too slow. And the new dendrite server is still not up to spec. Joining large rooms is still gives me a headache. I can't easily protect DDoS or spam accounts. I was forced to basically close registrations my Matrix server. And Dendrite is not yet production ready which is a shame.. Don't get me wrong, I do like Matrix in general. I just hope my previous remarks are taken seriously by their devs.
