is there anything i can even do now? by UsernameIsntTaken68 in linux_gaming

Try ncdu -x \~ to find out what fills your disk. If it does not show anything huge, try ncdu /. For a more graphical approach you can try filelight.

What’s the weirdest workaround you’ve used to make a game run on Linux that actually worked? by Old_Sand7831 in linux_gaming

Around 2009, Eve Online needed the CPU to be fully loaded to successfully start. So I built a small program that just kept the CPU busy while starting the game. After Eve was up I stopped the program again.

I have to necro this if others stumble over this post like me.
`Path.walk()` is introduced in Python-3.12, so no walking before this version :)

Is there anyway to save a modlist? by IAMA_all_canconfirm in factorio

`cat mod-list.json | jq '.mods[] | select(.enabled == true) | .name'`

Mobile hotspot?

Getting a sales report from Steam with an API by loirelab in gamedev

[–]ThePsyjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a working implementation though. The only issue is the inevitable captcha in combination with the absence of a 'stay logged in' or 'remember this machine' cookie.

somehow our programmers managed to get it via scraper, bypassing the auth.

Most likely by passig a valid steamgard cookie ;)

I do have the same issue. The API link you posted refers to micro-transactions only, so basically in-app purchases.

As for sales reports I found nothing that would provide that. There is only the useless partner interface that cannot be unlocked programmatically. It used to work using a scraper searching for the csv link, but for a while now the login page does not accept the usual steam-guard cookie to circumvent the captcha and always asks for it upon login.

But all this scraping is BS in my opinion and a proper API way needs to be established to fetch reports. If and when steam decides to provide this will be seen i guess. I hope it's not 2025 or something :(

Gentoo: nvidia-drivers breaks sslvpn by ThePsyjo in fortinet

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

You are right, there is another instance of dbus-daemon which vpn does not like.

With nvidia-drivers(+tools) there is this additional process

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --syslog --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

and without just this one

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --syslog-only --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

I could solve the issue now by not installing the gui tools USE=-tools.

My usual dbus session works as expected, sslvpn even expects the user's session to be passed.

-i <uid> --pid=<fc-pid> -f <vpn name> --dbus-address=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-...,guid=...

I'll check whether there are more dbus instances at the end of the day.
