I wouldn't call myself a distro master, I've been sticking with Arch for over 10 years now. I just feel that it is time to expand my horizons to see if I'd be happier with a different choice, but just because of systemd. We have so many options with distros, which I think is a good thing...

Yeah Debian tends to do a lot of patching, which is also something I don't like. I prefer when distros stick as close to upstream as possible, which is what Arch does. I'm guessing Gentoo takes this stance as well. This is not an easy choice for me, because I really like Arch. Have been super...

I haven't made a decision yet, and I absolutely love Arch Linux. Been using it for more than 10 years now, joined the Testing Team some years back. Overall, super happy with my distro. But.... systemd. I had the attitude that I don't mind, but this feature creep is starting to seriously annoy...

Agreed, that seems to be the most likely answer.

I have been reading up on other reports, and it really seems like this was a developer creating the backdoor on purpose. This person worked over time to gain trust from the xz maintainer, until they got co-maintainer status. This person was also working with Fedora devs to get the new and...

Mint never started using any of the known compromised versions of xz, so you were never at risk on Mint. Arch did package the compromised versions, but the exploit was made to be difficult to detect, and as such would not build on any other systems than debian/fedora systems are derivatives...

Yesterday it was announced that a backdoor was discovered in liblzma which seems to specifically target sshd. The unique thing here is that all evidence points to one of the XZ devs doing this intentionally. The same dev have contributed code to several other projects, so there's a lot of...

The native version worked fine when I had nvidia gpu, but that is many years ago. Ever since I got amd gpu, the in-game shadows render poorly. For some reason I also have problem running the game with Proton, so I just set up a regular wineprefix with normal Wine, installed dxvk, and can run the...

I already bought DL2 on Steam, haven't tried it yet as I've been busy with other games.

I never played Dead Island, but Dying Light was made by the same developer, and I absolutely love Dying Light.

Are you talking about the miniature wargame, or a computer game?

I finished making the awards+Steam Achievement unlocker for Stronghold Legends. Source code is on my gitlab: https://gitlab.com/Daerandin/shl_award_qualify The code will also compile and run on Windows, and I am planning to create a download page for a precompiled Windows binary. As for Linux...

The config.dat and stats.dat are files for your profile. So they will not be changed by Steam in any way. The only modifications I do to them are the same that the game does when you unlock stuff. The other program I will make, which will let you actually get Steam achievements, does not alter...

Yeah it just requires patience, and a hunch for what you are looking for. If I didn't have a hunch to work from then I would be way too lost to figure anything out. For this particular project I've had to learn a lot of assembly. I wouldn't call myself proficient enough to write programs in...

It should be fairly simple to do it from physical copies. Your cd/dvd-rom should be available in Wine, and you should see it in the winecfg window. I haven't done an install from physical media for many many years so I don't remember if there's anything to be aware of, but it should be fairly...

I still need to actually create the programs. And before I can do that, I need to fully go through the debug data to map all of the address offsets. At least I have verified that they all have a constant offset from the base game modules in memory. The full source code will be put on my gitlab...

I have the Steam Edition of this game, and I have managed to get all in-game awards and Steam achievements in the normal way. However, this was an extremely boring process as some had annoying requirements such as spending total 10 days in-game. So that got me interested in figuring out how to...

I didn't think of it like that, very interesting explanation. Thanks! Faster than light travel would be amazing, just a shame that we are not likely to experience any breakthroughs in this field.

Everything indicates that the speed of light is absolute. Of course, our understanding could be flawed, but everything indicates that it would require infinite energy for any object with mass to reach the speed of light. But, all that we know is nothing more than assumptions. We assume things...

The images are amazing! Thanks for sharing. As for life elsewhere, it's pretty much a guarantee considering the scale of the known universe. Just a shame that with the distances involved, we are extremely unlikely to ever have confirmation.
