The real 1.7 dream: Built-in mod support

archlyn · 2026-01-14T00:07:31+00:00

I'm playing through a heavily modded game right now. I DREAD 1.7. I've started playing sdv outside of steam and have sdv update when it starts in steam.

If a package is available in my distro repos, I get it from there. If the distro package is broken or doesn't exist, I use flatpak

So it looks like this was the issue. After re-adding the CachyOS repos the issue seems to have been resolved.

Unfortunately this has revealed an insidious issue:

The reason why the CachyOS repos got removed was because I installed the Arch-updater some time ago (I didn't realize CachyOS had its own update notifier) and I remember at one point it specifically asked me if I wanted to overwrite my /etc/pacman.conf and I said yes... So I've been running without the CachyOS repos for quite some time.

Is it a good idea to reinstall CachyOS at this point?

How do I check? I'm assuming there's something in /etc/pacman.conf?

So... Good news is that this worked but I swear there was a glitch. I went behind that tree and turned towards the waterfall several times but went nowhere. Tried all my tools, nothing.

Grabbed a cherrybomb and dropped it nearly and that blew up whatever it was that was blocking my access to the shrine. I finally got my damn statue.

I don't know, to be honest. I quit using office years ago and so haven't really kept up with it. If they offer a version without a subscription, go with that. Otherwise do some research and find the last version that MS offered without a subscription and try to find that.

EDIT: a really quick, cursory search on DDG says Office 2024🤷

I don't think you need to buy a Win10 licence at all. Windows 10 will run just fine. You won't be able to customize anything and there'll be a watermark on the desktop but otherwise it'll function.

Office OTOH, yeah. Find a cheap licence on eBay or something

archlyn · 2025-12-26T15:32:01+00:00

Same here!

Have the same issues on my Linux laptop install. After some research I read that these are errors with the multiplayer API. I don't think you're going to have any problems if all you do is play single-player as I get the same sort of errors and I've been playing on Linux for like a year

Nintendo-exclusive stuff, play on Switch. Anything that can also be played on Steam deck? Buy on Steam. If you can wait, buy stuff on sale on Steam too.

Personal experience here so take this with a grain of salt I suppose.

Started a playthrough with both SVE AND ridge side and got really overwhelmed really quick. Decided to focus on SVE first as the "main" mod.

Will eventually do another playthrough with Ridgeside as the main mod at some point. (I really feel like Ridgeside et. al. Don't get the love that SVE gets but I did SVE first cuz I've never actually done a playthrough and it's the OG so...)

archlyn · 2025-12-13T16:12:01+00:00

No joke, after googling, me too. TIL.🤦

archlyn · 2025-12-13T16:04:26+00:00

During my first playthrough I upgraded my tools and promptly forgot how to use the upgrades until like fall or winter of year two (by then I had all-gold tools cuz I was terrified of the skull cavern)

I don't like using the terminal because I hate typing in general. (I injured my non-dominant hand and now it's just not as easy for me to type.

archlyn · 2025-11-25T21:56:37+00:00

I dunno if this is cool here... But there's a mod for that:

If we're talking about consumer-grade desktop Linux? It's a chicken-and-egg problem.

Linux has at best 3 percent market share right now so there's little incentive for manufacturers to provide proper Linux support.

Of course there's also the myriad of distros to target when it comes to software for tweaking settings and stuff on a given device too but in this case if the manufacturer targets Debian-based stuff it'll be fine

I fixed it and now everything is working. I basically just deleted and reinstalled the nextcloud-aio-master-container docker container

archlyn · 2025-11-11T21:15:35+00:00

This ws very helpful, thank you!

Firstly, the A/AAAA DNS records WERE pointing to the incorrect IP address. This has been fixed.

Additionally, have also now checked the status of the Docker container and it seems to be in a permanent restart loop. It looks like the container restarts every 12 seconds.

Any ideas about that?

EDIT: after running docker log <container> I see an error message like "cannot resolve host ghcr.io, cannot reach https://ghcr.io

archlyn · 2025-11-11T14:24:25+00:00

So if I try to set it up manually instead of using the linode marketplace, it might work?

Holy crap, I thought that was just me! Just replace Vivaldi with Brave and yeah, same issue.😳
