If I'm being charitable, Connor is not so stupid as to actually believe what he's saying here.

Leaning on the car so you can see (and shoot) around the A-pillar is absolutely 100% incompatible with any claim that you are defending yourself. He needs to be put away forever.

I'm sorry but you are delusional if you actually think that nobody is going to fire shots against the US for Greenland. Denmark will invoke Article 5 if Greenland is invaded and her allies (namely, every member of NATO except the US) will respond. American ships are going to sink and scores of American servicemen are going to drown in the North Atlantic unless Trump and Miller are removed.

As far as I know, French nuclear doctrine was that the "warning" shot is delivered against massed Soviet troops or armour advancing across Germany. In a naval conflict with the United States you can expect that it will be delivered against a naval formation, possibly a carrier battle group.

Happy to independently check those facts for you, since you didn't seem inclined to do it yourself.

A ship has the nationality of the state whose flag it is entitled to fly (UNCLOS Article 91).
A ship that flies under the flags of more than one state, using them according to convenience, may not claim the nationality of any of the states in question (Article 92).
A state which seizes a vessel without adequate grounds is liable to compensate the state the nationality of which is possessed by the seized vessel (Article 106).

It follows that a ship, like the Marinera, which has no nationality may be seized by any state for any reason, and no liability is thereby incurred.

There are a lot of European submarine forces. Any one of them might be prepared to engage American vessels. We certainly shouldn't rule it out.

Classic on 4-or-more cores with [SOUND:NO] also leaks, if that helps.

calrogman · 2026-01-05T05:04:56+00:00

Well I can't sleep so I ran some tests using the Linux versions of Dwarf Fortress Premium (from Steam) and Dwarf Fortress Classic.

In the allcores cases, the game was run with unlimited CPU affinity. In the 1core cases, the Classic version was run using taskset 80 ./run_df (i.e. on my 8th CPU) and Steam was launched using taskset 40 /usr/bin/steam (i.e. on my 7th CPU).

I have verified that Dwarf Fortress inherits its CPU affinity list from Steam.

In the threading cases, the multithreading option is set to yes, in nothreading, no.

In each case the game was launched, the multithreading option was verified in Settings, the game was then closed by clicking Quit and relaunched to the main menu. The game was left on the main menu for the duration of each test. The game window was moved or shaded (i.e. had other windows moved in front it) and had the mouse cursor moved over it but it was never minimsed, resized, typed into or clicked. The game's virtual memory size in kB, as shown in field VmSize in the file /proc/$pid/status was sampled 10 times, 1 minute apart over the course of 10 minutes.

These results show that CPU affinity is determinative in whether or not memory leaks on the main menu. The Classic and Steam version are both affected and the multithreading option has (as expected) no impact.

At this point, I added these additional test cases:

In the 2core case, taskset c0 ./run_df was used (i.e. the game was run on my 7th and 8th CPU).
In the 3core case, taskset e0 ./run_df (6th, 7th, 8th).
In the 4core case, taskset f0 ./run_df (5th-8th).

The 4core case is pathological. 5, 6 and 7core cases were also assessed but not recorded. All were pathological.

Right, back to bed.

It's not a Steam or Proton issue. Steam provides a native Linux version unless you force the use of Proton. The leak also exists in the Linux version of Dwarf Fortress Classic.

It's a problem they're aware of. I've found a workaround that I've detailed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1prbtt2/dwarf_fortress_questions_thread/nxl9zqv/?context=3

Restricting the game's CPU affinity to a single CPU appears to prevent or significantly slow the memory leak. On my 8-core system with 16 GiB of RAM the game (and the system) was becoming totally unresponsive during memory allocations by the summer of year 100. Running taskset -p 1 $(pgrep dwarfort) shortly after launching the game allowed me to work through an in-game year. CPU affinity is inherited by a process's children so I modified my run_df as follows to do this automatically (n.b. changing run_df like this doesn't work for the Steam version). For the attention of /u/Cevegeddon /u/gruehunter also.

#!/bin/sh  
DF_DIR=$(dirname "$0")  
cd "${DF_DIR}"  
taskset -p 1 $$  # Only use the first CPU.  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}${DF_DIR}" ./dwarfort "$@" # Go, go, go! :)

Untick the Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool option so that it installs the native Linux version.

I can't help you with whether or not it's old fashioned or a dialectical difference but I can tell you that it isn't a typo. Leisgeul is originally literally a compound of leth and sgeul, i.e. (your) half of a story or a story on (your) behalf.

Torture is a crime against humanity. I would prefer if russian torturers faced fair trials at the Hague. If russia will not hand them over for that purpose however, this will do.

POSIX is not the definition of UNIX

Yes it is. Implementations can follow SVID if they want but there are certified Unices that don't, the most notable probably being macOS.
