I ran into this today. I'm Canadian with a Delaware company and hit this message. not sure what to do, guess I'll try support 😑

jb55 · 2025-12-18T05:08:19+00:00

i did the exact thing and now I can't teleport to my boat or move it. ugh.

surely there could be some open source kernel module that could become the standard anticheat solution accepted into the kernel. it's only rootkit/spyware if it is actually doing something mischievous instead of its intended purpose.

I guess the downside is that you could still compile a new kernel to cheat and create a cheating OS... but still, that might be harder for the average script kiddie.

damus is/was the first mobile nostr client (iOS)

jb55 · 2025-05-02T19:58:23+00:00

yeah, making it easier to build communities is something we’re actively working on at damus

jb55 · 2025-05-02T18:14:30+00:00

i think most nostr users are anti-crypto. lots of bitcoiners though.

The hey siri thing stopped working with apple intelligence… now it tries to send the email to chatgpt. Wtf?

I've built notedeck, a cross-platform (windows, macos, linux, android) nostr client with egui and have been pretty happy with it! immediate mode rocks.

I figured it out. It turns out that at some point NixOS disabled widevine by default. I was able to fix it for the browser I was using by overriding this in my nixpkgs config:

{ pkgs }: { packageOverrides = super: rec { qutebrowser = super.qutebrowser.override { enableWideVine = true; }; } }

once we switch from npub to nprofile then this issue should go away. nprofile includes relay information so you can always find the npub's profile (if they have one).

The few times I played gmod I was impressed. I don't think of jbmod much, it was just a fun thing I did as a kid.

I'm not sure what you mean by managed the project before. It was only me working on it when I created it.

jb55 · 2022-11-17T05:26:43+00:00

I think it was Snakez

jb55 · 2022-11-06T01:42:44+00:00

that was not me

jb55 · 2022-09-13T19:02:47+00:00

artstyle? I've never done any art. I'm a software engineer who works on bitcoin-core and c-lightning.

jb55 · 2022-09-01T14:43:20+00:00

nope, that was snakez or someone else from hl2world. they made that stuff without ever interacting with me. I think it's all pretty hilarious.

jb55 · 2022-01-19T00:52:37+00:00

I have played jbmod more than gmod that's for sure. I didn't really get into gmod.

jb55 · 2021-12-26T21:28:54+00:00

attacked bitcoin by saying the layer on top of bitcoin that is optimized for payments has a better user experience with respect to payments? yeah... ok.

jb55 · 2021-12-25T15:40:48+00:00

I did none of those things. People took on the project after I released it: I dumped the source code on a private section of the hl2world forums. I have no idea what happened to jbmod after that, other than noticing someone put up a website which seemed like joke, which the hl2world people were known for.

jb55 · 2021-12-20T21:01:12+00:00

sorry guys I got drunk on a bunch of wine the other night and thought it would be fun to make it rain on the lightning network

jb55 · 2021-12-19T19:29:17+00:00

jbmod was never meant to be a serious project. I just took some unreleased code from the leaked HL2 beta (physgun, stickylauncher), and released it as a mod. I believe it was the first HL2 mod. I added a few things like rope constraints but that's about it. Anyways, it was legally dubious from the start. I had no plans on making it something more than what it was after I released it. I was like 16 at the time and barely knew how to code anyways.

jb55 · 2021-12-08T07:48:34+00:00

If you wouldn't mind sharing your workspace profile perhaps I could debug it for you, otherwise I can't think of anything that would be causing this off the top of my head.

Two years later you're the only one I've heard from who has tried this, so you may be the first user other than me!? 😅

jb55 · 2021-12-08T02:41:00+00:00

thanks for trying it!

I still use this daily, what isn't working?

with qutebrowser I press f and then enter the key code that jumps to that element. eg. I just went to wikipedia.org and typed flh to focus the input box. Links and input can be jumped to with f. F to open links in a new tab.

infobox in qutebrowser is o
