If you want fediverse support WordPress has that through plugins. Lemmy is pretty heavy on resources. Just don’t look at Wordpress’ code and you’ll be fine.

Systemd can use .mount files to make services and stuff depend on the availability of a mount. They can either be created by hand or are created automatically from fstab.

That announcement was about the first release. The merger was announced months ago. And even if it wasn’t released you could just easily use whatever fits your environment.

Seerr together with the rest of the *arr stack is pretty easy to use.

With the amount of times I’ve heard /e/OS and others being referred to as a non-Android mobile Linux I can hardly blame them.

Reminds me of one job I had where my boss asked shortly after starting there if their entry test was too hard. They had gotten several submissions from candidates that wouldn’t even run.

I envision these types of people are now vibe coding.

Optional support for using game controllers as regular input devices

Nice, can’t wait to try that out on my Steam Deck. If the new Plasma Keyboard also supported modifier keys that would make 6.6 doubly useful.

Similar to how ReCAPTCHA was meant to train neural networks for image recognition the anti bot protocol is used to train an autist to find an efficient factorisation algorithm.

“Prove that you’re a bot by factorising this large number.”

My first project was a jump and run based on drawings by my son. I learned that it’s pretty hard to get a six year old to draw you sprites. My kids liked the two levels I could cobble together from his drawings.

The player was a stick figure that could find a dagger and a spear to fight zombies and later a spider boss. Later he was supposed to meet a friend who’d continue the game with his crossbow but I didn’t get to go on.

I made the levels from tiles made out of drawings. i wanted to pivot to entirely drawn rooms with basically one page being one room, but time, energy and motivation left us.

What I did somewhat complete was Diarrhea 4, a game based on a Lemmy comment. I wanted to add some flying aliens as enemies and stages to getting higher but making this game has drained my health. But at least it is somewhat playable.

But using free assets kept me sane during development. Even when not everything ended up looking like I had envisioned it.

I come in peace.

Take me to your lizard!

Not too loud. Don’t want the suits to find out.

That’s because every time you run a new program with Proton on Steam it creates a new Wine-prefix (fake Windows drive). So when you run the installed battlenet.exe it creates a new Windows environment where Battle.net is not installed.

But the installer is using the environment where Battle.net is installed and apparently it has a function to run Battle.net when it detects that it’s already installed.

If you don’t want to go the Heroic route (you really should go the Heroic route) you can

1. download the offline installer from GoG
2. add the installer as a none-Steam-game to Steam
3. select Proton for compatibility
4. run the installer
5. add the installed game’s exe to Steam as a none-Steam-game
6. select Proton for compatibility

Trouble with that method is that Steam always creates a new Wine prefix (a kind of fake Windows drive) every time you run a new none-Steam-game with Proton. They can pile up and take unnecessary space away. It also makes it harder to install dependencies or mods or add ons.

So yeah, Heroic is the way.

In my mind when I see MySQL somewhere it actually means MariaDB. It’s also the default in Debian. Probably in other distributions as well. Or maybe Percona.

You could probably do this with FUSE. Guess nobody cared to make that yet.
