... certain parties violating the old license, by not attributing and stripping my copyright. Packagers being collateral damage was a beneficial side-effect, considering they don't clearly mark their versions as modified (also a GPL requirement), break functionality, and expect upstream to provide support.

Emphasis mine, snipped from the authors comment

As a maintainer of few AUR packages this is always so hurtful.
Where does this position come from? Packaging is the avenue that people using any linux distro use to get your software. This also my first time hearing that packages (re)building GPL code have to mark the packages as modified in some way. I can understand that being a valid concern (if it is one) but that's a problem that can be rather easily fixed without throwing all of the maintainers overboard (?).

I can see there being bad maintainers that will come shouting to upstream with every little thing that does not work on their platform, but man that's just insincere towards maintainers that will dive, analyze and help where they can to make it work.
For every one maintainer coming to your github issues with their problems there is probably shitton of patches and time spent on making your program work with the given distro.

Unpopular opinion?: without wordpress, mysql/mariadb would have died years ago.

For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

Instead of giving access to Crystal Mines, Gas Extraction Wells, and Mote Harvesting Traps they now increase the number of mining districts available on the planet and, after researching the technology to extract the relevant resource, add a small amount of resource production to miners on that planet.

Oh finally, managing where and if you had the special resources was uselessly tedious.

EU should not care about non-EU companies

Uh probably not that helpful but I am somewhat sure that this was super easy to do from virt-manager (on Arch qemu & kvm, virtualizing Tiny11 )

So the lower-ish difficulty answer would be to run the iso installer in a VM with the usb stick forwarded to that VM.

Or you can learn what those fancy installers do: on debian you would use debootstrap

Here seems the whole guide on how to install debian manually with it:
https://gist.github.com/tr3buchet/6407920

Btw, this is also basically how you install Arch. As of until recently there wasn't any installer and you had to go through each step manually (create partitions and fs, install the base system with <insert distro specific tool>, chroot, update fstab, distro specific finishing touches, voilà)

/sbin are system binaries, eg root only stuff, dunno the rest but I would guess there are some historical reasons for the bin usr/bin separation

Afaik you can self-host the Renovate bot, though don't remember if it's fully open source & self-contained.

How did you install jellyfin?

It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.

You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this: journalctl -u <name of sevice> so in this case journalctl -u jellyfin (Tip: add -f to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).

Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into /var/log/ directory.

Maybe that LTT linux challenge?

While Hopoo Games are the original team behind Risk of Rain, Gearbox under Embracer took over the IP back in 2022 so the series will continue on without them.

No, by all means it's dead

I just usually do !map

 

Small disclaimer this is from the txt log which is not exactly complete, there are few pixels missing here and there.

One second of the video is about 30 minutes of drawing (one frame contains 1 minute of drawing, 30 frames per second)

Also a little bit of bragging - couldn't resist the challenge and got this all glued together in Python! Which is obviously a valid tool for this considering the rich data processing ecosystem.
Well maybe except the video generation part... definitely except the video generation - Pyav - bindings for ffmpeg, are really badly documented, luckily they have at least good enough examples.

The short story of how:

  • little bit of python script to convert the txt log into csv
  • from csv to pandas, there I made a few cleaning passes to get the "format" just right (mainly dealing with the mod_fill action)
  • pyav, ffmpeg and the world of video - oh boy:
    • for each one minute of drawing data
    • replay them over the canvas (numpy RGB array)
    • embed/copy the canvas into the video frame (another ndarray)
    • (add the timestamp above the canvas - cv2)
    • invoke pyav magic to mux/append it into the video
    • hope that your numpy array slices, splices, "broadcasts", pyav codec options and stream configurations are correct. Otherwise, watch as you end up with 1GB+ of mp4 file - 3 hours to watch whole (1s/30fps) with really bad resolution or inverted/wrong colors:)

If anyone wants to tweak this or has ideas how to make this better just hit me up. Can also put the code somewhere if wanted.

What a wild ride ha!

So, finished RoW, I did not read the halfs (yet?) Edgedencer & Dawnshard - instead I cheated a bit and looked up the summary for these (Dawnshard mainly) as I was too hungry for more "spice" of the SA story so I wanted to continue with next SA book straight away. I did read all of the current Mistborn series we have before SA though about a year or something ago

So I do have some notion about the...shards, investiture and stuff but... I am still confused how the Cosmere magic works in general - I know that magic (Investiture) is different for each planet/system of the Cosmere and guessing it has something to do with the specific shards of that system... ?
⠀⠀

Well, if anyone wants to chime in with pointers I would be very thankful!
Meanwhile I will be scouring the wiki and WoBs to get a better picture.

 

The server does not even respond to pings but I can see some comments/posts from the instance made few days ago.

 

I think this should be seen by more people, it's also not just a US thing.
