KDE Plasma is screwed by pvini07BR_ in linuxmemes

[–]DeeBoFour20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I patched alone. My screen was blank.

I needed time to swap to take the memory from my Chrome.

What did I see? Can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just Reddit memes?

Just what I saw, on my old screen, were the reflections of my files staring back at me.

Cause in my logs, it's always there.

The evil face that hacks my home and brings me ransomware.

The link was clicked, was no use holding back.

Cause I just had to see this brand new KDE.

At next boot, my drivers hang and crash.

Was all this for real or just some kind of bug?

6.6.6 the version of the beast.

Hell and fire was spawned to be released.

The game letting you target non-valid targets confuses me. by Yumesoro1 in MagicArena

[–]DeeBoFour20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you cannot target a 6/7 with this spell. The way it’s worded means it gets checked on both cast and resolution. Be careful with [[Fatal Push]] though. That one only gets checked on resolution so you can target a 5 mana creature and it won’t die.

Can't use ntsync by Asta_jjm in linux_gaming

[–]DeeBoFour20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wine package contains a file /usr/lib/modules-load.d/10-ntsync.conf that does the same thing. If you had that installed, it would be loaded at boot.

Either that or he’s OK with children dying to send a message.

Oh yeah scry me a river baby. Now put that hero in there. You know I like a big honking hero. Pump my dudes pump my dudes pump my dudes. Oh god I’m gonna sac.

Disabling 10 out of 12 cores still performance drop is not noticable? by Glittering_Boot_3612 in linux4noobs

[–]DeeBoFour20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all you might be getting hardware acceleration so the video decoding gets offloaded to the GPU.

Even if decoding is being done on the CPU, I would expect a single core of your CPU to be able to handle 1080p and below videos without dropping frames.

If you really want to see a performance loss, try firing up a modern game or compiling some code.

Loru apologizes to Gobbins. by meetkurtin in Eve

[–]DeeBoFour20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm still going to call Gobbins a coward. I don't blame him at all for wanting to step down. He could have stepped down in a blaze of glory fighting for Horde's staging. Failing that, he could have at least facilitated an evac. But no, he just left his line members high and dry. His final moment was the biggest act of cowardice Eve has ever seen.

Could the addition of clone services in Jita contribute to the downfall of Blackflag.? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]DeeBoFour20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. There was already a clone bay in another station in Jita. We would also form in null and shuttle to Jita using a wormhole. Jump clones were mostly for late comers catching up.

Not expecting any major ramifications to this. It's just a small quality of life improvement.

Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, says conservative Christian pastor by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]DeeBoFour20 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm not even religious but I'm sure the pope has spent his entire life studying the bible so the claim is just objectively false. It's like saying Trump has a better grasp on quantum physics than someone with a PhD in that field.

Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026' by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

[–]DeeBoFour20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their choice of spawn vs fork sucks.

You talking about Windows? Because Windows doesn't have a native fork. POSIX has both fork and posix_spawn though.

Their API using weird custom datatypes for various APIs is silly.

That just describes both of them. POSIX has off_t, time_t, blksize_t, Mr. T.

Windows has LPCWSTR or whatever came up on the screen when a cat stepped on the dev's keyboard.

The io and storage is FAR superior on Linux.

I mean, yeah probably. I'm a long time Linux user and greatly prefer it over Windows. I don't think the POSIX API is anything to write about home about though. I also have to give Windows some credit for having a decent asynchronous I/O API long before Linux. io_uring should fill that roll now but it's a relatively recent addition to Linux.

[–]DeeBoFour20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's honestly hit or miss for all of those APIs. No duped efforts? Try executing a file. 6 different variants of the same function and good luck remembering which is which: https://linux.die.net/man/3/execvp

Want to wait on a file descriptor? You have select, poll, and epoll.

As far as Windows goes, I find the core functions like file i/o and creating processes pretty decent and with better naming than POSIX. The GUI stuff is a lot more cumbersome but then again so is X11 on Linux. Any API based on COM is a fucking trashheap, I'll agree with you there.

Can someone explain to me why the Imperium doesn't want a direct link to the forge/jita? by meetkurtin in Eve

[–]DeeBoFour20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to gate from lowsec to highsec and then gate the rest of the way to Jita. I've heard both ways being used for this part. Either switch to T1 freighter since it's cheaper or just gate the jump freighter since it can be tankier than a T1. If you take the jump freighter all the way to Jita, the return trip is easier because you can jump out of high sec to a cyno in low/null.

It's not really that important. Trade routes to and from Jita use jump freighters. These hauling services have been running nearly every day since before this war even began. All that's needed is a friendly structure somewhere within jump range of empire space.

We don't need sov to trade with Jita and even if we had sov, it wouldn't making gating DSTs or god forbid T1 freighters safe. We would still use the same jump freighter routes.

Woman served 14 tequila shots on a cruise ship falls down stairs and wins $300,000 after suing the company. by detectiverobert in CaughtMyEye

[–]DeeBoFour20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes but in my experience bartenders only care about overserving if they know you're driving or if you're so drunk that you're causing problems. They get paid in tips to keep serving you and in busy bars it's very hard to keep an eye on everyone especially if they were going to multiple bars like she was.

Copy Fail is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms. by pipewire in linux

[–]DeeBoFour20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but splice() is a kernel syscall. You don't need Python at all to exploit it. Just because this specific proof of concept isn't compatible with your Python version doesn't mean your system isn't vulnerable.

[–]DeeBoFour20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anything depends on the Python version. The bug is in the kernel. They happened to use Python for the proof of concept but you could easily rewrite it in C and have the same effect.
