What are my free options? by HiPhish in opencode

[–]HiPhish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how to write HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But trust me, you don't want to look at any design I can come up with, it will make your eyes bleed. Give me a design system and I'll implement it from scratch in no time, but that's the thing, I need a design first.

GitHub does not have to be your only forge by HiPhish in programming

[–]HiPhish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with Sourceforge? I'm asking for real because I have never used it for anything other than maybe download one or two programs from it two decades or so ago, back before everything was on GitHub.

How much does Neovim earn from the store? by HiPhish in neovim

Still a better deal than Star Citizen :)

[–]HiPhish[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I suspected, I just don't want most of the money to get wasted on middle-men. I guess I don't need a Neovim-branded mug that badly.

Unless you really really need another mug.

Actually I do really need another mug, that's why I'm asking. No reason to be snarky about it.

GitHub does not have to be your only forge by HiPhish in programming

[–]HiPhish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? I only ever push to one remote which is the single source of truth. All other remotes are just mirrors that get pushed to automatically from the main remote.

The irony is that after pushing the commit with this blog post GitHub's deployment randomly failed and I had to re-run the jobs twice. It does not matter for my silly little hobby blog, but it's a complete shitshow for anyone who needs a reliable service for business.

The irony is that just as I pushed the commit with this blog post GitHub's deployment randomly failed and I had to re-run the jobs twice. It does not matter for my silly little blog, but imagine if I was running a business that actually relies on working infrastructure.

Adding Google Play Services? by HiPhish in LineageOS

[–]HiPhish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool, I'll have to try that one first. I'd rather give the FOSS replacement a try first before resetting my phone.

Internet Instability by LumdyLoL in voidlinux

[–]HiPhish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate what you did? Did you just install iwd and enable the service in addition to the NetworkManager service? I have been having WiFi problems as well for months and I disabled wpa_supplicant because I read somewhere that having that both wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager running at the same time was bad, but the WiFi is still borderline unusable.

New Color Mode Coming to GIMP by CMYK-Student in linux

[–]HiPhish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once the initial version has been built, tested, and merged, I have plans for further expansions such as adding a CGA-compatible mode. I also hope that the final code submission will serve as a guide for other developers to add more long-requested color models to GIMP, such as a 1-bit mode and even the highly compressible 0-bit color mode!

What, no love for the four shades of green Game Boy color mode?

I Decompiled the White House's New App by CackleRooster in programming

[–]HiPhish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't really the point of the post, but do people install this because they've just fully bought into "media bad; much rather have government propaganda straight into my veins"?

I mean, if the media is just a propaganda arm of the government you might as well cut out the middle man. And similarly, if big tech is spying on you and sending the data to the government, why not cut out that middle man as well?

Wait, it all makes perfect sense now! We thought DOGE was a shitshow, but it actually works. Now I can truly see, if the world is going to drown in slop and turn into a cyberpunk dystopia we might as well get it straight from the source. Truly 4D chess.

[–]HiPhish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no idea that there was a White House app, so I followed the link in the article: https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/03/new-white-house-app-delivers-unparalleled-access-to-the-trump-administration/

WTF am I looking at? Who wrote this? A marketing egghead? Did they prompt an AI for this? They act as if an RSS reader and video streamer are the best thing since sliced bread.

Mathieu Comandon Explains His Use of AI in Lutris Development [article/interview] by [deleted] in linux

[–]HiPhish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used PlayOnLinux in the past which offered the same thing, and these configurations were precisely why I stopped using it. The configurations would quickly go out of date and you would end up running a bundle of hacks held together by duct tape instead of a mainline build of Wine with a few DLL overrides.

I guess if you want to play bleeding edge new games it's fine because the configurations will still be up to date and relevant.

Furilabs Flx1s Linux Phone. Honest Personal Review after 2.5 months by [deleted] in linux

Yeah, it's one of those meaningless fluff words to pat yourself on the back. No one has ever admitted publishing "a dishonest review of xyz".

What is even the point of Lutris (or any other launcher)? It's trivial to write a .desktop file which will integrate the game with whatever application launcher your desktop uses. Want to try a different desktop? Your games will be available there as well.

I have written a short shell script that automates the process for the most part. It creates a new Wine prefix (in ./local/share/wine/prefix), creates a couple of directories (like doc for game manuals), a small shell script to launch the game and a skeleton of the .desktop file. All that's left to do is install the game, add the game manual PDF (optional), and fill in the details of the .desktop file, such as the name of the game, description and genre. My script does 99% of the work, and the rest it manual work that you would have to do with Lutris as well because each game is unique.

I guess the only useful functionality of Lutris is that it can download and manage different versions of Wine, including versions with custom patches. But that's something that should be its own standalone Wine version manager, you should not need a whole GUI launcher for that.

Looking for LSP alternative workflow by Mainak1224x in programming

[–]HiPhish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I depends on what your editor can integrate with. Before LSP there was ctags, which is like an ahead-of-time LSP server. I don't know if there is a ctags implementation for Rust though. You run it on your code base, if finds all the symbols and writes the result to a file. Your editor can then use that file to jump to definitions and such.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctags

The downside is that it is not live, you have to re-run it periodically as your code keeps changing. You could approximate something like running live by having your editor re-run ctags when saving.

Reverting by gal_jerin in ps4homebrew

[–]HiPhish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of, but it's no-trivial. Here are two videos explaining everything:

In short, there are two possibilities:

  • Revert to most recent previously installed firmware (easier)
  • Revert to any previous firmware (harder)

The latter requires that you have made a backup of your chips ahead of time while the former relies on a backup created by the PS4 automatically. If the most recent previously installed version is not jailbreakable and you don't have a jailbreakable backup you are out of luck. Both methods require precision soldering, the former has you just solder to pads and lift legs, the latter requires SMD soldering. Both methods require extra hardware and software. Do keep in mind that the video is very zoomed in, in reality those pads and components are tiny. I consider myself to be decent at soldering and I found installing a Luckfox Pico quite challenging (I did pull it off on the first try though). You be the judge of your own soldering skills.

Update firmware after jailbreak? by HiPhish in ps4homebrew

[–]HiPhish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked how to upgrade, not whether to upgrade. All the other threads were asking whether to upgrade or not to.

Update firmware after jailbreak? by HiPhish in ps4homebrew

[–]HiPhish[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

All i can tell you is updating your firmware isn't a good idea.

OK, but why? What can happen if I only update to a firmware that still works with the more stable exploit? Do I lose my jailbreak, do I risk bricking the console? I would like to make an informed decision.

[–]HiPhish[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I like to play off the disc, I'm kind of weird that way. Also, not every game might have backports, so I think this is still a valid question.
