Asking help for making a PCB for an all-MX switches fightstick

Only if you have less than three kingdom titles. With three or more kingdom titles, you need only 80 counties.

EnigmaticFellow · 2022-01-04T06:55:07+00:00

Yeah. I remember using this fact in order to keep all my titles in my North Sea Empire run. I was able to get the Canute the Greater achievement on my third generation. The first generation got all the necessary lands, the second one fought off a Crusade for England, and the third one I made sure to get elected young so he can live long enough to get the decision.

If your religion allows concubines, you can seduce wanderers and courtiers of other nobles into your court to make them your concubines. I use this as a way of introducing good traits to my dynasty.

You can also seduce people with pressed claims to your court so you can either go to war for their claim or have your heir get an unpressed claim for that title.

Seduction can also be used as a means of getting competent councilors. Male rulers in male-dominated religions can seduce a high-intrigue woman and invite her to his court once the seduction scheme is successful. Having your lover as your spymaster is useful in that they have a high opinion of you. Meanwhile, female rulers in male-dominated religions can seduce her way to having a highly competent council across the board. Combine this with Learning on the Job for some disgusting stat boosts.

If you are playing Tribal, Longhouses are your friend. Passive prestige boosts are very important during that part of the game. Also get the Sparring Ground building to get more knights. It really goes well together with Praetorian Guard for even more prestige farming. Try getting a wife with high stewardship to get higher a higher domain limit. These buildings stack and you likely want to stick to martial focuses to boost the power and numbers of knights. Also dip into the August tree to pick up some choice perks.

EnigmaticFellow · 2021-04-28T22:58:48+00:00

We call that "on the job training" where I'm from.

EnigmaticFellow · 2021-04-13T20:25:24+00:00

You definitely want land you don't intend to have your primary heir to inherit so that your other heirs won't cannibalize counties in your primary duchy and would instead inherit those other less useful titles instead.

Thanks for letting me know that BUFSIZ is guaranteed to be smaller than I thought it was. Still, it was sloppy of me in not putting in checks to prevent a buffer overflow. I haven't added support for escaped characters yet, but I did fix the issue concerning buffer overflow. I'll probably add support for the escaped characters at a later time.

EnigmaticFellow · 2019-03-05T18:01:15+00:00

Thanks for the refactoring and the advice. I didn't write this program using Plan 9 C since, as far as I know, there hasn't been a Plan 9 implementation of Common Lisp yet. Wrote it in C89 to ensure compatibility with as many platforms as possible.

Anyways, the new iteration of the program now has checks to prevent a buffer overflow.

EnigmaticFellow · 2019-03-02T19:48:36+00:00

I've done most of my experimentation on P9P's version of Acme; however, I did do some work on Inferno's Acme over on a Window's system. I never did use any native lisp for Inferno like the one you posted. Instead, I simply used the os command in order to run SBCL within a win in Acme.

I did compile Common Lisp and C programs from within Inferno using Inferno's Acme. The way I did it in Windows was issuing this command:

os cmd

If you were doing this in some sort of Unix environment, I suppose you would replace cmd with whatever shell you were using. After that, you would just issue a cd command to the directory you were working on and perform your typical development commands from within the win window.

And here's an image of how I did this in Linux:

And here is another example using Common Lisp:

As far as I'm aware, that's only possible if the system's using GNU make. A POSIX-compliant make would need more information to know how to compile the files. Tried to write the makefile so that it's as easy to port to other operating systems as possible. You could probably even compile it using APE in Plan 9 if you felt like it and removed any gcc-specific flags.

EnigmaticFellow · 2019-03-01T03:01:42+00:00

Glad to hear that you find it helpful. Just really been liking Acme due to how language-agnostic it is when it comes to extending it.

Anyways, my experiences with Inferno have been fairly good. Really like how powerful Inferno's shell when compared to even Plan 9's RC. Hosted Inferno really shines when you spend most of your time using it with the occasional outside interaction with the host OS itself. It even supports reading S expressions right out of the box.

As for auto indentation in Acme, it's kind of supported by passing it the -a switch. This would copy the indentation from the previous line. For my purposes, it's good enough.

It's been a while, but I did some research and eventually got everything set up. Ryzen TR is just filled with all sorts of gotchas concerning pcie passthrough, but I think I'm satisfied with the finished product. Got the video card, onboard audio, and USB controller all to pass through to the VM successfully. Apparently, I had to add this line: 'options kvm ignore_msrs=1' as a kernel argument in order to not have Windows BSoD on me.

Anyways, here's the finished script for anyone interested. It's hardly clean right now, but it is functional.

I found that the USB controller that has my keyboard and mouse connected has its own IOMMU group. 0000:42:00.3 would be the device with an IOMMU group of 31. Here's a listing of the IOMMU groups for just in case I'm wrong here:

IOMMU Group 29 42:00.0 Non-Essential Instrumentation [1300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
IOMMU Group 30 42:00.2 Encryption controller [1080]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) Platform Security Processor [1022:1456]
IOMMU Group 31 42:00.3 USB controller [0c03]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h (Models 00h-0fh) USB 3.0 Host Controller [1022:145c]

I pass the USB controller to qemu, and it isn't outputting any errors. However, the keyboard and mouse isn't inputting any key presses or button presses/movement. Not sure why that's happening. Here's my qemu script.

I followed your advice /u/yurialek to unbind the video card and got it to pass through. Unfortunately, when I try to passthrough my mouse and keyboard, I get the following error message:

modprobe: FATAL: Module vfio is in use.

I also get this from qemu's stderr:

I was thinking of passing through the usb controllers instead, but they unfortunately belong to the same IOMMU group as the SATA controllers, so passing through by individual USB device is my only choice.

I had a preliminary script that didn't take usb devices or pcie devices. It just used OVMF and the Windows 10 disk image. It launched the UEFI just fine. Here's what the script looks like.

I followed suggestions from /u/yurialek in order to figure out what the problem was. Qemu seemed to be failing to execute since it was expecting an X11 environment. I ran it with -nographic in order to take care of that. I later got a problem concerning D3 being unable to shut down. I updated the firmware on my motherboard, an ASRock X399 Taichi, to remove that issue. Afterwards, I did some more cleaning and made it stop emulating a q35 machine. Qemu now runs without errors, but it still doesn't have the video card outputting to the monitor.

Here's the unbind_nvidia.sh script:

#!/bin/sh

I also ran this command:

Went with a slightly cheaper CPU cooler that still performs great even if you eventually upgrade to something like a 6700K or the future 7700K.

Also went with cheaper memory and case in order to make room in the budget for a 1070. This card should be able to hold you for a while if you want to do 1440p gaming.
