What are the best video games full of references to other media? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Oh damn, I didn’t think I wouldn’t be the first to post about Evoland 2 of all games in this thread, it’s pretty obscure, isn’t it. Great game though.

Here's a demo one that works on rooted Android: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/

(Also iOS 18+ Messages lol)

It's not RCS's fault Google locks down the API on their OS.

Don't use passwords for public SSH in the first place. Disable password authentication and use pubkeys.

I’m fairly sure you can do this with Wireplumber hooks. https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/design/events_and_hooks.html

“Frūctūs super populō” (edit: or “hūmānīs” given that this is “people” (plural) instead of “the people” (singular))

I have an automated setup that can torrent the same game 100000 times so I can make corporations go broke at the click of a button. Fear me

It’s very funny you say MOV and HEIC are proprietary and then list MP4 considering

  • HEIC is just H.265, the video codec, used to encode images
  • H.264, the codec used for most mp4 files has the same license as H.265 with patent bullshit license fees going on
  • MP4 container is pretty similar to MOV, and is also not an open standard
  • this also means MOV and MP4 can be losslessly converted
  • Apple provides documentation for MOV format free of charge while ISO really wants you to pay to get official standard PDF
  • All this doesn’t matter anyway because ffmpeg can decode everything (though I guess it might matter in bizarro land where software patents are a thing)

Also Android can totally read at least HEIC images. Not sure about MOV. Any of this is also not related to the problem the OP has.

GTK 4.16.0 released, now defaults to Vulkan renderer on Wayland in c/[email protected]

QtWidgets uses software rendering. It's completely fine on my 4K display except for a single application, KOrganizer, where it actually takes a while to redraw the UI. You can implement hardware rendering badly too (see QtQuick which is noticeably less responsive than QtWidgets)

You can use Freeform as a basic image editor on iOS (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I wanted something like GIMP for iOS with which I can stitch together/overlay/crop images, add text, blank out parts, draw on the image, and so on. Nothing in the app store looked appealing, most of what I could find seems to be geared towards photo post processing, so I had the idea of trying Freeform for this, because well, it lets you place various objects on a canvas. And it works pretty well!

Create a new board with the image inside, set it to no rounded corners and no shadow, and then do whatever you want to it with Freeform’s tools.

Then, when you’re done, select Export to PDF and convert it to an image. You can use this share sheet shortcut which I made which makes an image out of it and also cuts away the white frame it generates around the PDF: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa5e2386588742b2a1f5d41401f2238e

There you go, straight forward basic image editing with a free stock app.

It unfortunately doesn’t preserve the original resolution of the image but it’s definitely good enough for me.

Is there a Git repository activity aggregator, like GitHub's user activity but platform independent? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment.

Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :^)

Linux doesn't serve birth time attribute over NFS (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

According to this Phoronix article, Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client):

% stat file
  File: file
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file
Device: 0,70    Inode: 103416894   Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: ( 1000/   saiko)   Gid: (  100/   users)
Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
 Birth: -

What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.
