The word naphtha comes from Latin through Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft ("wet", "naphtha"), the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian 𒉌𒆳𒊏 napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ ["petroleum"], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum)

This is extremely dangerous command! If anything goes wrong for whatever reason and the variable $tempdir is empty at the time of this command, then it would delete everything.

And this danger is not merely theoretical. Steam for Linux did it in 2015.

The go env -w command can make most go environment variable settings persistent for the current user. Alternatively, you could set the environment variable in your shell's login script.

Be sure to read go's docs for individual environment variables, because go doesn't respect all methods of setting them in every case. (For example, it ignores certain approaches to disabling its telemetry. How convenient for Google.)

Matrix is… really crashed and often breaks.

Matrix is a protocol. It's not possible to crash it.

I did find that certain Matrix implementations had a habit of breaking when encryption was used, until about a year ago. From what I've seen, recent versions appear to have fixed it. Element X is worth a try.

Back to your original question: Matrix apparently supports whatever UnifiedPush distributor you choose, such as ntfy.

Are you implying that Spice Hoarder is a camel?

Question for the devs here: how much do you think about low-VRAM users when optimizing your games?

I generally don't make games, but I do make other software. Avoiding waste of my users' resources is one of my guiding principles. It affects my decisions in a variety of ways, ranging from time and effort spent on optimization, to avoiding bloated frameworks like Electron.

They already screwed me over with the trilogy.

How?

This is my first guess, and a facet of my single biggest criticism of Go: the module system they added has an enabled-by-default policy of phoning home to Google servers, which turned an otherwise decent toolchain into spyware.

The GOPRIVATE environment variable may be what you need to avoid that error.

Unfortunately, license plates are but a small fraction of what these things can capture. Your face, gait, and voice, for example.

Time for the usual troubleshooting steps:

  • Have you Checked for errors in the log output of...
  • What changed on your system between the last time WoW worked properly and the first time it didn't?
    • OS update?
      • Kernel?
      • Drivers?
    • Proton update?
    • Steam update?
    • Game update?
    • Battle.net update?
  • Are you watching for other people discussing the same problem?

Blizzard has a recurring history of making changes to Games and Battle.net that break in Wine. When this happens, workarounds can sometimes be found (such as reverting to a prior Battle.net version), but a real fix often requires waiting a few weeks or months for Proton to adapt. It happened roughly once per year when I was last playing their games.

Good luck.

If the game ignores the disabled state that you applied in Wine's controller config, I wonder if it's using SDL for input. In that case, you might try exporting an environment variable telling SDL to ignore the controller.

This bit from the article is what caught my attention:

Fructose is not just another calorie. It acts as a metabolic signal that promotes fat production and storage in ways that differ fundamentally from glucose.” — Richard Johnson, MD, professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz and study lead author
