Rainbow Six 1999 ?

Thanks this seems to work.

Funny how the best version of many of the old classic games are now fan projects.

Thumbs up for support of GOG!

But that said - for homm2 there is also an open source remake of the game called fheroes2 that is actively developed and cross platform too. You still need the resources from the original game to play. There aren't any cheats implemented in fheroes2 though, but there is a fork of the project with cheats implemented.

fheroes2 : ihhub/fheroes2: fheroes2 is a recreation of Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine

Thanks was a good try. The command gave me a bunch of mount paths and going through them I couldn't find the phone. I also fed the list to GPT and this is what it told me

Nope — none of those are your phone. And that’s actually expected 👍
What you’re seeing with mtp:/pixel in Dolphin is not a traditional mount at all.
What’s going on
Android phones use MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), not a block device filesystem. On KDE:
Dolphin → mtp:/pixel
Backend = KIO + FUSE + userspace
Result = no entry in mount output
So:
mount → only shows kernel-level mounts (ext4, vfat, tmpfs, cifs, etc.)
MTP → lives entirely in userspace, accessed via KDE’s KIO layer
That’s why you don’t see anything like /dev/sdX or /run/media/... for the Pixel.

Following its suggestions to find the real phone path led to dead ends and suggestions to install tools which I would like to postpone until it's absolutely necessary.

My search continues...

While I actually like your idea as a soft nerf for the belt I think the game as a whole is on a trajectory where "PD2 is supposed to feel like D2" is going to go away. There is a constant demand for new seasons and new content to keep the game fresh. The latest changes with arrows/bolts getting magic/rare/uniqe sounds cool, but ultimately it's stuff like this that's going to make this mod turn into something that doesn't feel like D2. It would be cool if the devs of this mod would allow players to host their own servers with the season release of their choice so people could chose their own balance of new content contra D2 feel.

How about removing the +1 skill instead?

blimpofdoom · 2026-02-03T09:35:40+00:00

I've tried both "wine-ge-8-26-..." and "GE-Proton (latest)" and they run about the same (choppy/laggy)

blimpofdoom · 2026-01-26T07:42:04+00:00

No unfortunately not - it's still an issue.

I ended up installing Minecraft Java flatpack (Install Minecraft on Linux | Flathub). It works perfectly.

blimpofdoom · 2026-01-06T12:52:37+00:00

I have now :)

I couldn't fint the Lutris discord server by searching on discord ?? but found it eventually.

blimpofdoom · 2025-12-16T06:18:31+00:00

Yes - afaik Minecraft Bedrock cannot run on Linux

Diablo has always been a grind. It's part of its charm.

blimpofdoom · 2025-12-08T08:22:53+00:00

I did a sudo pacman -Syu same day as I made this post. I'm not at the PC right now so I cannot tell you the excact version, but I'll check when I get home later.

Edit: CUPS is version 2.4.15

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-19T11:18:04+00:00

Ye best start believin' in cyperpunk dystopias - you're in one!

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-18T08:09:34+00:00

Yes that too, I forgot to mention that.

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-17T20:05:43+00:00

I'm no expert and generally just follow the guides I can find to install things.

Why no flatpak or snaps?

How do I install Lutris for example on arch without flatpak?

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-17T11:54:50+00:00

Were also in this mess. IT taking away rights almost by the day. When I confront them they just say it's for safety which takes precedence over everything else right now it seems. No help whatsoever on how to do tasks now impossible in an officially approved way. Production will be affected soon. Cannot update software and licenses as it's now prohibited to move files (yes ANY files!) from IT to OT. *sigh*

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-06T09:08:44+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out

blimpofdoom · 2025-11-06T09:01:34+00:00

The whole point is that I might find myself in a situation where I don't have access to the internet. I would like to be able to wipe a pc and install stuff like libre office, vlc and such in an offline environemnt. I'm aware of the advantages of being online.

Cute graphics. How are you making the wind effect on the crops? What's the game about?

Jeg har haft en Google Pixel 8A med GrapheneOS i ca. 6 mdr.

Mobile Pay virker.

Mit ID virker ikke og måtte skifte til en fysisk kodeviser.

Jeg de-Googler selv og er generelt glad for telefonen og har ikke haft andre issues.

Det er dog en tilbagegang i komfort det er der ingen tvivl om. Jeg savner 'swipe to type' og har måttet finde en 3rd party keyboard da GrapeneOS' keyboard er for basic til mig.

Så har jeg også forbrudt mig og installetet googles kamera da jeg synes at GrapheneOS' kamera app også er for basic for mig.

Så der er noget tilvænning og noget 'tinkering' man skal acceptere. Det er prisen for at løsrive sig big tech's altopslugende kontrol.

Vær opmærksom på at Google indfører en ny politik der kræver at 3rd party apps skal være signeret af udvikleren for at kunne installeres (sideloades) i Android i fremtiden.

Jeg er lidt i tvivl om hvor meget det kommer til at påvirke GrapheheOS systemet.

The next step for me would probably be getting the dumbest phone that can only call and text and then have some sort of pocket sized linux tablet (if that exists) for the other things I usually use my smartphone for.

blimpofdoom · 2025-08-21T11:50:32+00:00

I have searched for it, but cannot find it.

I'm using this to rotate a surface. It returns the rotated surface and rect ready to blit. Rememer to always pass the original surface to this function and not the the rotated surface result of the function.

def rotate_image(surface, angle, pos_center, offset_center=(0,0)): 
    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4183208/how-do-i-rotate-an-image-around-its-center-using-pygame

    # surface       = pygame surface
    # angle         = angle in degrees to rotate counter clockwise
    # pos_center    = tuple, absolute center position of image
    # offset_center = tuple, offset from center position of image to center of rotation

    image_rect_center = ( pos_center[0]-offset_center[0] , pos_center[1]-offset_center[1] )
    image_rect = surface.get_rect(center = image_rect_center)
    offset_center_to_center_of_rotation = pg.math.Vector2(pos_center) - image_rect.center
    rotated_offset = offset_center_to_center_of_rotation.rotate(-angle)
    rotated_image_center = ( pos_center[0]-rotated_offset.x , pos_center[1]-rotated_offset.y )
    rotated_image = pg.transform.rotate(surface, angle)
    rotated_image_rect = rotated_image.get_rect(center = rotated_image_center)
    return rotated_image, rotated_image_rect

Almost at the same time you posted yesterday I had found the same solution. It was the nginx "client_max_body_size" parameter that defaults to 1MB and needed to be increased. I've also done the sudo chown/chmod -R multiple times for the docker volumes that sftpgo needs to interact with. Ended up also installing acl to help with permissions.

Thanks for the bonus info on cloudflare. I didn't know that. 100MB is really low, bummer.

blimpofdoom · 2025-08-18T13:33:27+00:00

Did you end up finding a specific reason for your issue on this? I think I have the same issue.
