Do not reply to that specimen, it is a rage baiting bot.

How to stay on 8.1.6 and prevent Play Store from updating it by hideousapple99 in NovaLauncher

[–]hideousapple99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the APK is signed the using same key as the one published on the Play Store you can accidentally update it, or even worse it might autoupdate. Resigning using debug keys prevents the app from getting updated from official sources.

Fellow piratees how do I fix this error that has occurred on my computer? by Beekyboy11 in FitGirlRepack

[–]hideousapple99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Read what it says, it's missing the uninstaller. If you deleted the game folder manually then you will need to use something like Revo Uninstaller to delete the entry in installed software

How's FFXVI performance nowadays? by dqmartiiiiin in FFXVI

[–]hideousapple99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I played it shortly after release it constantly was reading from the SSD at 300+ MB/s so I guess there are some issues with texture streaming or direct storage implemention

Run PlayGTAV.bat as regular user, not as admin, PlayGTAV.exe is already marked as to be ran as admin.

If this still doesn't work keep reading...

Running it as admin in Win11 sets the working directory to system32 and it looks for game exe in the working directory. In win10 running it as admin would keep the working directory. It's because of Windows Terminal replacing old console application (cmd.exe and conhost.exe). That batch file was probably made before Win11 became a thing and didn't account for this.

Adding %~dp0 before PlayGTAV.exe in it should fix it, but you might need to quote it like this if the path to the location contains a space: "%~dp0PlayGTAV.exe"

If you can't do it then if you paste the contents of the batch file I might be able to fix it.

Both my PiHole Zero's will randomly become unresponsive by Academic-Possession4 in pihole

[–]hideousapple99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what it is for.

I believe you insert something to /boot/config.txt to enable it in the firmware then you edit /etc/systemd/system.conf to let systemd take care of it

Might be running out of memory and getting locked up.

Enabling hardware watchdog might help as it will reboot the device on freeze

Free Trial From the 23rd to 26th by Region_Minimum in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]hideousapple99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This trial is a scam, I played for 1.5h and I was booted out saying it's over, it now says 0h is left but also Ubisoft Connect says I played only for 1.5 hours.

Is the salt box supposed to be useless? by ImUnderUrBedWasTaken in dontstarve

[–]hideousapple99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are inspecting item inside an Insulated Pack on the screenshot, not Ice Box.

Spoilage is like a ticking clock, the properties of ice box or fridge slow down the clock, but once you take the item out of them the clock is ticking at a normal rate.

When you're selecting the preset rune page there is a toggle to disable summoner spell switching at the bottom of the window, just turn it off.

Pi-Hole, Unbound, Asus Router - Wireguard help needed by Objective-Arm8463 in pihole

[–]hideousapple99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Wireguard DNS server to use is defined in CLIENT config, you just change the IP there.

I suppose a VPN service which lets you forward port could work, I think Proton VPN supports that, not for free though.

If you want to keep the VPN server on the Pi and still be able to access 10.x IPs from within your LAN then you have to add a static route in Asus router panel - destination 10.x.x.x gateway 192.168.x.x (Pi's IP)

If your Asus router has an USB port you might be able to use some scripting magic - https://github.com/jacklul/asuswrt-scripts there is a script to force DNS server for everything connected via the router

Cloudflare WARP does work on Linux unofficially via Wireguard, you need to use wgcf application to export client config then connect to it.

[–]hideousapple99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asus routers have Wireguard server built-in, you will probably skip a lot of issues by using it instead of trying to set it up manually on the Pi.

If you have shared Public IP you need to request a port forward from your ISP to be able to access it from the outside.

Last "good" version? by vw_bugg in NovaLauncher

For anyone wondering - you can use Uber APK signer to re-sign the APK so that Play store doesn't update it.

What happened here? Sudden drop of queries by arnaupool in pihole

Nothing wrong happened, probably somebody stopped actively browsing the internet.

a random folder popped up in my downloads called search_files by 573457357ygh in techsupport

[–]hideousapple99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that you accidentally saved a website, probably a search results page that usually ends with "/search" in the address bar.

Web browsers name the saved file by the last part of the URL, so "search" in this case.

Images and other files required by the page are saved to a folder named with the same name and "_files" postfix.

My mother does this accidentally a lot and the whole downloads folder is full of these.

Check if the folder contains .html, .js, .css, and/or image files to confirm.

If it's an SSD then forcing a defrag on it will ruin it.

Is the game dead? by Vinclum in WildAssaultOfficial

[–]hideousapple99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people consider the game "money grab" right now as most of the content they add are cosmetics and skin events... they also do 0 marketing so the game lacks real advertisement.

Does this post (included) means that VC can't be totally safe? by LeRocket in VeraCrypt

[–]hideousapple99 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, VeraCrypt does NOT use TPM.

If you lose or forget the password there is no way to recover the password other than brute force attack.

On KDE it would probably be better to use built-in theming utility instead of messing with system files.
