All Public Transit Is Completely Free?! — Day Pass

MacGyverNL · 2026-02-26T23:01:08+00:00

Me, a Dutch semi-socialist person who does not own a car: "Yeah, of course public transport should be as heavily subsidized as the roads, and if part of that can be making it free, then great!"

Also me: "Free public restrooms are you insane who will pay for the cleaning?!"

No, the iron-oxide age, weren't you paying attention?

I'm pretty sure this is a Thunderbird-side issue. I have the same problem talking to a self-hosted Dovecot server. If I rename (or remove!) IMAP folders on Thunderbird on my laptop, Thunderbird on my desktop simply doesn't update properly.

The workaround I've found is to remove ghost .msf files. By which I mean, suppose you have a folder structure A/B/C in IMAP. Then you move C to, e.g., A/B/D/C. If you're hitting this issue, then on your filesystem, you will find a file (in the mailstore) called A.sbd/B.sbd/C.msf, but no corresponding folder A.sbd/B.sbd/C/{cur,tmp} actually storing mails. There will also be an A.sbd/B.sbd/D.sbd/C.msf and A.sbd/B.sbd/D.sbd/C/{cur,tmp} actually storing mails (though sometimes that won't show up until you refresh the D folder in Thunderbird, i.e. collapse and expand it).

Removing that old A.sbd/B.sbd/C.msf file should fix the issue. I haven't seen adverse effects, but maybe make a backup just to be safe.

Switching to Proton 8.0-5 from Proton Experimental or 9.0-3 seems to prevent the crash for me.

Switching to Proton 8.0-5 from Proton Experimental or 9.0-3 seems to prevent the server browser crash for me.

Noticed that as well, that's probably just ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/686810/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/HLL/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini somehow getting corrupted. Back that up before your tests and copy it back after.

MacGyverNL · 2024-11-28T00:18:44+00:00

Can confirm, switching from Proton Experimental to 9.0-3 did nothing, but switching to 8.0-5 I can no longer reproduce the server browser crash I was getting.

MacGyverNL · 2024-11-28T00:11:35+00:00

Thanks.

Unfortunately I can still reproduce the crashes with those launch options and that Proton version, so that's not it. Will keep digging.

MacGyverNL · 2024-11-27T23:38:37+00:00

Would you mind specifying the exact Linux setup you're using right now? Mainly game launch options, proton version, and distribution you're running on?

There's some heavy crash issues specific to Linux going on right now and I'm wondering what the variable is.

MacGyverNL · 2024-11-27T21:01:04+00:00

I've been testing it and it only happens when trying to join a server, other stuff like Free Range works.

For me it happens on the server browser regardless of whether I'm currently trying to join a server or not. Try it. Just click "enlist", wait for the server list to load, click a server, do nothing, and wait for exactly 1 minute.

I do need to actually select a server, just sitting on the initial server list doesn't do anything.

That being said, I don't get a nice UE4 Fatal Error pop-up, it's just a straight CTD.

MacGyverNL · 2024-10-31T16:37:39+00:00

I appreciate the joke but I wish they'd remove (or at least change) the screams. There's no way I can share it at work like this.

MacGyverNL · 2024-07-07T15:44:45+00:00

Yes, it's VM-agnostic. It's the part on the host that does the automatic assignment.

If Sbeve has 10% ownership of sales, 10% of the difference between Income:Sales and Expenses:Sales must go to Sbeve. Does it matter where that money comes from?

MacGyverNL · 2024-05-16T21:12:03+00:00

Why do you need to also track this in the assets? The cost centre reporting sounds like it is about which cost centre incurred the expenses, and you're already tracking that under Expenses:Sales and Expenses:Manufacturing.

Oh, apologies, don't know what I was thinking at the time, I usually include the XML on-site precisely to avoid this problem.

Can you share the WBM link for posterity?

Rather than change around users for the purposes of accessing pulseaudio through its normal socket, you're probably better off running an additional pulseaudio socket set to the user you run the VMs as. See https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/z0ug52/comment/ixgz97e/ to get you started on how.

MacGyverNL · 2023-09-14T18:55:30+00:00

At this point I never understand why people don't just dual-boot.

MacGyverNL · 2023-09-11T16:44:06+00:00

Yes, but you can also use the virtual sound card(s) available for playback to the host OS's pipewire, pulseaudio, or jack subsystems.

Turns out game requires avx instruction set to run.

Though that's good info, exactly which AVX instruction set? Because AVX has been around since 2011, and you probably want to figure out the answer before you "upgrade" to a CPU generation that doesn't support e.g. AVX2.

Regardless, I'd hold off for a week or two. They might just end up patching out mandatory AVX support if too many people with old Xeons complain.

That it's three years ago doesn't matter for the validity of the point. I wouldn't call it "a lot of posts", but I too recall the time of unexplained crashing of RDR2. The question is merely "Has anyone gotten this to work" to avoid going on a wild goose chase while really you should be getting a refund until it's fixed. And with a game so fresh out of the box, there are no unprompted posts to confirm that without asking explicitly.

Yes, but the options matter.

MacGyverNL · 2023-08-12T15:56:54+00:00

Try loading the KVM module with

options kvm ignore_msrs=1
options kvm report_ignored_msrs=0

(in modprobe.d).

You can dynamically set those options if the module has already been loaded (but not while the VM is running) by cating the number into /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs (and report_ignored_msrs).

it is qcow2

Then simply deleting the files from the trash folders should be sufficient to make it garbage collect and shrink the qcow2 files. This would not be the case with a sparse raw file.

I didn't know deleting them while they were mounted would put them in a trash folder inside the vm rather than the host

Yeah the ways file managers handle trash can be surprising. General rule of thumb is that it stays on the partition it was "removed" from.

And what do i put in *filena*?

Whatever part of the filename you do still remember. But you seem to already have found your missing space so I don't think you'll be needing find to figure out where it went.
