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

Having a monarchy is stupid, but not as stupid as selling the Royal Mail to foreign billionaires.

Is there a reason you're suspicious about that particular dependency, or are you just asking about dependencies in general?

It probably becomes CPU limited with those other compression algorithms.

You could use something like atop to find the bottleneck.

Sounds like it's not really a downgrade, but just an unreleased beta or test build? That seems a little less sketchy, and maybe it'll be generally released at some point.

Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.

I'd probably:

1. make sure it can be reliably reproduced using something like systemctl suspend
2. try swapping the cables and see if it still happens on the same screen, or the same port
3. look at journald/dmesg output for the period from suspend to resume

When the screen fails to wake, are you able to get it back by powering it off, or by unplugging it? Is it X or wayland?

If you stop shipping autotools generated artefacts in your tarballs, things will be a lot simpler.

Weirdly enough the malicious code does look eerily similar to the benign code, because both are unnecessarily obfuscated.

This is not a human written or readable file you're talking about. It's a generated script.

For 2d stuff my limit for non-nostalgic enjoyment is probably around:

• super Mario world
• Zelda LTTP
• ultima 7
• xcom

Stuff like that holds up pretty well IMO.

I agree with others about early 3d stuff being harder. Bad 3d physics especially drives me nuts. Carmageddon is the first game I remember with tolerable 3d physics, but I don't think it was until around Halo that games were consistently getting it right.

There's a couple of ways I could imagine debugging this.

One would be to disassemble MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists and see why it would throw that exception. It's quite strange because it should act like it's running on windows.

The other would be to enable WINEDBG stuff or possibly use strace to figure out what it did before throwing that exception.

Have you tried 32-bit wine?

This is me too, but I just switched to alacritty from urxvt (due to some new bug with control characters).

I prefer my terminal to purely show text, and I use tmux for all the fancy stuff.

So many, but the ones that come first to mind are:

• bubble bobble
• badlands
• hard Drivin'/race Drivin'
• DDR

It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION! MAGA2024

I think this is the most correct Trump has ever been. You just have to make a couple of small edits, and completely disregard his intended targets.

IMO there's no point in optimising without being able to measure the results.

A profiler should be able to tell you how much time is spent running the code you're attempting to optimise. It might turn out that the wine runtime code is not a significant factor in performance.

Oh the whole previewing of changes thing, I guess I'd probably just use git, to easily roll back.

You're making me want to find a hobby project to do in CL. Most of my Lisp experience has been in scheme or elisp.

I think in theory it's great. Email already has solutions for:

• decentralisation
• push notifications
• client sync
• e2ee
• groups / cc / bcc
• hierarchical threading
• mime / attachments

etc

I was just thinking about this the other day when I was bisecting something and almost every individual commit had packages in the cache.

I feel like I need to go set up a donation...

They really had trouble wrapping their minds around this, didn't they.

Slackware in 93 or 94, on a 386DX40 with 4MiB ram and a 40MiB HDD. A friend and I split downloading the disk sets 1/2 disks a day on our limited ISP time.

When Netscape came out, I ran it on that machine. It took literally 30 minutes to start (with much swapping), but was actually usable thereafter.
