This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:

https://archipelago.gg/

This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.

It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games

I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.

I used to have one, but everything I’d use it for should really be going in the compost, not the sewer.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.

The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).

Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

This as close to actual England as EPCOT England has ever been.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Yeah, I would love to stop getting potato quality videos on MMS, but not enough to install a proprietary app. I’ll just have to create matrix accounts for more people.

I can’t vouch for it as a music player, but it’s what I use for videos when I can’t get on a bigger screen. It’s nothing like the desktop app, so you might want to give it a try.

Have you checked these all on winehq? It would be nice for them to be reported with logs if they haven’t already.

Garmin Express for example is on there with some discussion here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=40213

It might not help in the short term, but even just having logs for more broken programs could be useful for the wine project.

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

Did you grep that log file for ‘amdgpu’?

I wonder if the error is related to this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/229108

I’m still using x11 on my system. Maybe try that and see if it works?

No, I haven’t seen anything like that. That’s odd.

I’ve had those errors on my system for years. I never thought that they were NixOS specific. I just assumed something to do with a buggy firmware:

Enabled 4 GPEs in block 00 to 1F
ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH.RHUB.POT3._PLD due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT) (20240322/psparse-529)
[x~20]
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 00-ff])

I don’t notice any ill-effects from them, so it may be a red herring. I have a:

$ < /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name
ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

with a 5900X.

I don’t usually see as many prints as you have there, but it’s quite a few, and the number seems to vary (grow?) over time. I keep meaning to investigate it, but haven’t got around to it.

I think you should keep looking in your logs for other problems. If you can share the full log I’d be happy to take a look.

At least you still have ribs. When I do interesting stuff with the oven it usually involves my food becoming charcoal.

I’m not afraid of scissors, but I’m very afraid of my victorinox knife.

I case you haven’t seen it, there’s a famous photo giving that same vibe that would go around on Reddit regularly:

Am I just failing to use that site properly, or is it missing a ton of stuff in ‘replays’ that was available live?

I feel like the CBC had a better version of this thing 12 years ago.
