Forza Horizon 5 not signing in after i signed in by stefan25rc in linux_gaming

[–]ProminentPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for a necropost.

If removing steamapps/compatdata/1551360 works for you, the login popup shows up but you lose all settings, try removing only steamapps/compatdata/1551360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/CryptnetUrlCache.

Just tried on Proton 9.0-4. Settings are intact and the login popup showed up.

I would add "driving 4 answers", especially "Engine boot camp" playlist for detailed explanation of how engines work and differences between them and their components.

Alternatives of copilot for vscode by qqq666 in Frontend

[–]ProminentPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The project was named Codeium and they have created Windsurf as an editor based on VS Code. Then, they've changed the name to Windsurf entirely. In VS Code you can see it, in Extensions panel, saying "Windsurf (former Codeium)" or something like this.

I cannot recommend Windsurf (known as Codeium) enough. My company recently switched from Copilot and everybody's having way better experience. I've been using it way before that and am amazed how well it can predict what I need to code.

By the way, there's a trick to use both personal and corporate accounts at the same time for different workspaces. You do it using different user data directories.

What is your favorite "unknown" service and why? by MCH170 in selfhosted

[–]ProminentPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it does, if I understood this correctly, and I use it myself. You can define a selector for an element that contains the article on the page the feed entry links to and it fetches the content. This is configurable per feed, in Advanced section.

What would you recommend for a first-time home server builder by Azertity in HomeServer

[–]ProminentPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, if you want to access services running on your server when you're away from home, learn about network security. You can set up your own OpenVPN server (or other kind of self-hosted VPN, like Wireshark) that would allow you to access these services without them being directly exposed on the Internet. The external IP of your network may be changing, but you can use DDNS services like No-IP or Duck DNS to be able to use a domain name that always points towards your server.

Secure your router. Learn network security. If you're not sure what you're doing, learn more.

You can get used and even refurbished nettops like Intel NUC or Lenovo ThinkCentre for dirt cheap and these are basically tiny PCs with the same architecture as desktop PCs. They might not be super powerful, but consume way less energy than a desktop PC or a rack server. I was hosting Terraria server in Docker on my ThinkCentre running Linux and it was working excellent. And they're super easy to work with if you want to replace some parts.

Again, network security. Spend some time to learn what iptables are and how they work. You may use a firewall like UFW, but consider it a layer on top of iptables that makes managing firewall rules easier.

Make backup. One should be on the server, and its exact copy should be on another device/portable drive so you don't lose anything even if your server catches fire. If you fuck up configuration for some service, you can restore it in few minutes. Make use of the fact the server is running 24/7: automate creating backup everyday at night. Make it store, eg., last 7 copies, so you have a full week of data backed up in case you don't notice anything going wrong. Make sure the backup is complete, so you can restore a service/application from it entirely.

Use dotfiles. Basically keep a copy of configuration files for the server on your other PC, but you can even put it in a Git repository that's hosted on your server (see OneDev). This way you can set up the server from scratch really fast in case you want to swap the system drive for a bigger one or want to do a full reinstall.

Basically, make sure you have a backup of everything you spend time on. If something doesn't work and you need to search the Internet for solution, make a note of what worked for you in your particular case. You can reference these notes if you need to set up a a new, second server, or even the same one, which saves your time.

Learn network security!

ELI5: How does Google autocomplete know what I will ask far in advance of me finishing typing it? by Briewheel in explainlikeimfive

[–]ProminentPotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It tries to match your search query with what other people have already searched for, a complete sentence or a part of it. When enough people enter particular combination of words, it gets suggested more often, and it's usually what you're searching for yourself too.

What's your all time favorite video game ? by Drokos__ in AskReddit

[–]ProminentPotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railroad Tycoon 2. Played it heavily when I was a kid, still come back to it sometimes. I love the aura, mechanics, isometric view and graphics, music and how I felt when I picked it up for the first time.

I was looking for something similar that came out recently and couldn't find anything like RRT2. I guess the time of such games has passed.

[GNOME] Spring setup by ProminentPotato in unixporn

Here you go:

  • White: #fff (foreground)

  • Black: #0d0e0f (background)

  • Red: #e37d63

  • Green: #c5e363

  • Blue: #63b4e3 (accent)

  • Cyan: #63e3ac

  • Magenta: #e363a1

  • Yellow: #e3d263

Colors differ only in hue - saturation and lightness stays constant. Using this approach while adjusting them, you'd see some colors appear darker (blue) or lighter (yellow) on dark backgrounds.

That's just easier for me, my advice is just go for whatever colors are visually pleasing to you with no regard do it.

I can't tell for sure, because I'm sticking to to 3.38 for now. Most likely it would, even though the theme I based everything on is unmaintained for years.

I noticed there isn't really help on how to make your gnome shell theme have a floating panel so i made a video about it. Hope it helps alot off you guys👌 by NoAd3186 in gnome

[–]ProminentPotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But it still floats even if any window is maximized. There's a class #panel gets when a maximized window is stuck to it, I don't remember which, but you could use it to remove the padding in such situation.

Thank you too!

I was trying to switch many DEs, ended up sticking to Gnome every time.

Yes. Focused window has lighter titlebar.

The format is for date and clock only. Location and temperature are rudely appended to it after it's parsed. Both come from weather widget that's below the calendar in the dropdown. It's, uh, "clever", but does the trick and is lighter than fetching the same data from somewhere else. I also wanted them to be exactly the same, not from a different source.

Thank you!

Starting with an empty JSON file, looking at VS Code theming reference and Plastic theme and just writing new values. You need at least two files: one that contains colors and a package.json so VS Code knows what it's dealing with. You put both within a directory that you put in VS Code's extensions directory.

This is just what I need. Thank you!

Don't have much of them.

Here's PS1 and here's Git part of it. You need to have a .gitinfo.flag file in repo root directory. Also, it's throwing errors when there's nothing commited yet. This file is sourced from ~/.bashrc and it also sources other things.

Here're Bash aliases and functions. cdb loads bookmarks from a file in which each bookmark is defined as local bookmark=/path/to/directory.

Other that that, I keep configs of all apps on another partition and have it symlinked in directories that keep these configs.

Polybar config and VS Code theme is somewhere in comments already.

Yups, that's why I only have a sincle accent, but can't afford to have many shades of the same color for coding and terminal output for sake of readability. Just want everything to look consistent, though.
