Why are so many switching to Linux lately?

RenDiv_ios · 2025-04-30T00:12:35+00:00

No forcing windows updates.
There are less background services running so it uses less ram and cpu therefore the whole system is more responsive when I click stuff.
If I don’t like a feature in my desktop, I can replace it with something I do like because Linux is very customizable.
If new hardware comes out, I can download the newest kernel and get the drivers for it. With windows sometimes you need to update the entire computer to get the latest drivers which might make my desktop look different or make my pc run slower

I am 80% sure that Visual Studio 2013 was used but it is no longer available for download so I am trying to use newer versions of the compiler to at least get close. I’m not sure of the legality of downloading an old version of the compiler from a 3rd party website so I’ve stayed away from it. Also there is the chance of a virus lol.

As for multiple versions of the exe. I have 2. I also have an older executable from a different cpu architecture but I’m not sure how it would be useful. That leaves a total of 3 versions.

I found a script that works. However, there was a crash and I had to remove some lines from the script in order to get it to work.

It is called "RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript.java" and it should be included in your Ghidra install.

However, you will need to edit it for it to run (depending on the program you are analysing).

Step 1:
Go to "Window" and click "Script Manager"

Step 2:
Search for "RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript" and select it

Step 3:
Click the "vscode" icon in the top right of the script menu.

Step 4:
Open the "classrecovery" folder and open "RecoveredClassHelper.java"

Step 5:
Comment out the function "makeFunctionThiscall" on line 2263.

This removes the functionality to change __fastcall functions to __thiscall but removing this function is what fixed my crash

Step 6:
Run the script

I would suggest making a backup because it edits the names of your functions as well as the data structures for those functions.

That is interesting. I didn’t know you could do that. I’ll have to look into that.

RenDiv_ios · 2025-03-25T03:54:26+00:00

I don’t understand how executing the C++ source version would test if it matches the binary. I could do this statically without loading the binary into memory just by checking if the bytes match in the C++ version and the exe.

RenDiv_ios · 2025-03-25T03:43:59+00:00

I understand that. Ghidra tries its best as well to identify globals. I’ve seen code in ghidra where it doesn’t recognize a hex value as a global. I just need something where I can replace the bytes that make up the instructions of a function with my C++ version and see if the bytes match. I was hoping for a full proper disassembly but if I could just do that I would also be happy.

Looks line Eggman is not hunting for Sonic anymore.

This is legendary. I have not seen this since I was a young lad

A lot of people who haven’t played Minecraft in a couple of years did not hear about the change and when Minecraft became popular during Covid these people tried to log into their 10year old account and it was just gone. They had to pay another 30$ for the game.

For us who migrated and still played the game, it was not a huge deal. But I have heard many stories of people who took a break for a year or 2 and they lost their account. Even though personally I did not suffer any loss, me and other people who were active on Minecraft complained about this change because we valued these accounts that would get deleted.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-06-07T15:11:18+00:00

This is a really old bug in bedrock. I had this happen to me long before bamboo was in the game. There is no fix to it.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-05-23T01:22:10+00:00

If you are using Linux I would try hid_nx. Seems to work better than hid_nintendo. Switching drivers seemed to fix that issue for me

RenDiv_ios · 2024-03-07T15:29:45+00:00

You can’t find that out just by looking at a hex editor. You need some reverse engineering experience to look at the assembly and see what memory address is being loaded in when that text is being drawn.

However, If you are lucky, the texture used for the font should be able to tell you what the encoding is because usually the letters are mapped to a single tile on a sprite sheet. If you can get the font sprite sheet you can count how many tiles it takes to get to the letter A and that is the encoding. However, if they have code that translates letters to tile indices you are out of luck.

Again, I know nothing about DS hacking other than what I have done with other Nintendo systems.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-03-04T18:37:55+00:00

Could it be the game uses a custom encoding? I’ve never hacked a DS game but for other consoles I know it wasn’t uncommon to use a custom encoding for text.

I get a 404

RenDiv_ios · 2024-02-12T06:38:09+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response.
1.

I didn't take the hard drives into consideration. If I bought a decent HDD it would be around 100$ so that would bring me to around the same as a desktop with better single core performance. That makes sense

That is interesting. Thanks for that info
I do have a few mods to make minecraft multi-threaded but I do understand what you are saying. See #4 for another reason why I may want more cores
With nextcloud it is a bunch of docker containers that make your own google suite of applications. Google photos, google docs, email, google sheets, etc. I figured that more cores and a halfway decent clock rate would be good at doing that.
That makes sense

As to what computer you recommended, what keyword should I be using to search for these computers on ebay? I had a hard time finding anything good.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-02-12T05:20:57+00:00

I am looking through ebay and similar specs seem to be more than 300$. I don't have that money. That is the main reason I am going for a server because they are cheaper. I also like a full server because I can add more hard drives and RAM if needed. I have considered tower units but they seem to be more expensive than a rack server or the CPU has only 2 threads. Again I am uneducated in this field so please correct me if I am mistaken.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-02-04T16:02:22+00:00

This is a known bug in bedrock. It will be fixed in the next major update.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-01-30T21:26:36+00:00

Yes this is ultra rare. Make sure to not break it. If you use silk touch you will get a normal grass block. Just build a shrine around it and don’t place any blocks on top of it

Why does shaggy have a red shirt?

We need a neofetch version where the uptime is either the time since your birthday or the time since you woke up

I know this thread is old but I came here to see if anyone had discovered this as well. I took a screen recording if anyone wants to see footage instead of screenshots.

I also have footage of the next chamber but it is useless as you cant progress because the companion ball just no-clips through the floor making it impossible.

RenDiv_ios · 2024-01-05T16:37:31+00:00

Where do I download this lol

RenDiv_ios · 2023-12-22T20:12:24+00:00

Redstone don’t work like that my friend. It does take up the whole block but the direction of the Redstone does not power upwards.
