I’ve found this more understandable.

I’ve also hacked together a quick thing for spamwaves that were happening last year here.

The purpose of that script is to ban, but there’re auth bits that might help you get a grasp on your task.

Is this the repo of the tool?

Don’t really have anything to add, but wanted to boost the activity on this post.

If not for an occasional comment like yours - I would never remember I’ve defederated them. Thanks!

So… it’s a hack, but it’s not been hacked?

Come the fuck on, BBC, you can do better.

It’s kinda funny how we think the 100 watts of a desktop P4 was insane when now the TDP of a high end laptop CPU is more than that.

It really isn’t. Modern mobile cpus barely sip power.

tar was nearly and adult when zip was born.

I’ll consider it. Need to manage the available resources a bit first.

I haven’t announced it, yet, but I’ve been testing ph.lemmy.cafe for some time now if that’s your cup of tea.

I’ve been occasionally giving Linux a shot since bubuntu 5.04 and it would never stick. I guess many things aligned at some point in 2017-18 when I just gave up on windows and microsoft in general. I’ve been sticking to my beloved gnome, fighting it to do things it wasn’t built to.

And then came 2019 and sway 1.0 got released. It felt like reddit imploded. Decided to finally give this “tiling nonsense” a try. A week or so later it finally clicked and I’ve not been fighting my system anymore.

Fast forward a few years and I’m now a Gentoo, OpenRC, OpenRC-init and Hyprland nutter :)

Got me there :D

See, that’s a common mistake - MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. Valve is, unfortunately, still stuck to integers. Their floating point appears to be functioning correctly as they’ve managed to avoid kernel panic releasing hl2e{1,2} - you can look at that as floats 2.1 and 2.2.

It’s actually a technical problem - Valve is running 1 bit computers that, due to binary origins, can only represent 2 states. They’d love to release hl3, but that would require coming up with the whole new architecture - at least doubling up to 2 bit cpu. Imagine the headache of adapting all the toolchain to build the game!

Double check if you have the -modules and/or -modules-extra installed for that version of the kernel. Literally had this issue at work on a 14.04 (sigh, I know) box.

Because that requires actually understanding the way a computer works.

Excuse me, sir, it’s the Gentoo bits that are supposed to be hard, not yours.

On an unrelated note - I’m building a binhost. Currently stuck on trying to figure out a way of building packages without instaling them and not using quickpkg>

Wait, there’s someone here aware of hardened gentoo? Well I’ll be damned! Come out of the shadows, fellas!

You can run

apt install package=version

to be explicit about it.

/instances will give you that info
