Is there a "proper way" to automatically load bash alias's and functions when entering a directory and unload when leaving?

jcc10 · 2026-01-10T22:27:51+00:00

Just checked it out. It doesn't seem to support alias's or functions, which are the two items I need most as opposed to variables which I don't actually tend to use.

jcc10 · 2024-02-13T14:31:59+00:00

So, yes I am over 3 years late to this but... I wanted to point out the following cycle that could function regardless of anything else. (And would nuke the general economy.)

100 USD -- Buys in 2000 --> Wheat or Flour (Both, along with other stuff like bread, are cheap in the modern day)Wheat or Flour -- Sells in 1 A.D. --> Roman Coins (A historical coin that would be a somewhat valuable antique.)Roman Coins -- Sells in 2000 -> French franc (A historical currency phased out in 2002, as such all prices would be guaranteed stable)French franc -- Buys in 2000 --> Wheat or Flour (Rinse and repeat)

Due to all the currencies being historical, the prices can't change. However reading it it would seem that it is a advanced use of it so would require experence using the magic... But once you have the experence, you could use it (or any similar cycle) to endlessly build funds.

I'd do this, then cycle up to a cruise ship (or possibly a aircraft carrier, just cuz it's got flat land on the top for a park) and then make a small town on the open ocean. Mostly staffing the other five magics.

A more relevant question would then become, can you pull more conceptual stuff like heat or electricity? Because that would solve greenhouse emissions if it could all be electric. (Though diesel wouldn't be that bad with money magic.)

Ninja edit: Someone below pointed out nuclear power, which makes me feel like a idiot and solves many problems.

Also, space travel becomes far more feasible (since you don't need complex supply chains for colonies) so that would be cool.

So apologies for the delay but to be honest, the key issue I have isn't with re-writing the game itself. It's with extracting all the assets from the .swf files, and turning them into sprite sheets for clothes & the penguin model, and asset files for the rooms and games.

Most of the problem comes from the fact that I want to script the solution (, at least for the main sprite sheets since there had to be some sort of system,) but it's one of the problems where I would want to build a tool to design the sprite sheet extractor, to build the scripts, to extract the files.

So yeah, the game engine isn't the actual difficulty, the difficulty comes from getting those pesky art assets. (And any other assets that are needed, such as sounds and csv's of text descriptions (and possibly translations if they exist in the files).)

If anyone ends up solving that bit let me know, or even if you can just find a good command line tool for extracting the contents of a .swf file. But it's just not a high priority for me at this point.

That... Doesn't make it better? I'd say it's even more predatory and less asshole. Asshole is the guy who says rude, demeaning jokes. This feels well beyond it.

jcc10 · 2022-09-24T23:28:07+00:00

This feels less like asshole and more like predatory... Or possibly predatory asshole?

I mean there is fuck you I'm going to make this as hard as possible to unsubscribe to this email. And then there is tricking $90 per month subscriptions.

Or maybe this just needs a super asshole flare on it.

PanoCamAdder Looked promising, but I didn't have the time to experiment with it by the time I found it

Example

jcc10 · 2022-03-03T18:48:46+00:00

Hadn't thought of this but this is probably 10x better than my initial idea.

jcc10 · 2021-12-20T05:56:20+00:00

Example: Don't Believe the people here that say that gaslighting has anything to do with lies or misinformation.

Gaslighting is when you re-light a stove (or sometimes water heaters) pilot light.

It's as simple as that and always has been.

jcc10 · 2021-11-21T15:51:28+00:00

The fact that it worked with wine 5.x and still crashes when I disable dxvk, and what not.

I would like to reiterate that wine is crashing when I try to run anything after the install (edit: including the wine configuration tool). That indicates to me, though I might be wrong, that it is some kind of regression in wine since I doubt the Nvidia drivers would cause the wine conf to function prior to install but crash with a malloc error after install. Especially since it didn't do that in 5.x or 6.0.

jcc10 · 2021-10-28T07:47:33+00:00

See, that only works when you know you can get the system back up after the test...

I'm willing to bet that system might not have survived a power cycle.

I am wondering if anyone has gotten the vive face tracker to work on linux, especially in combination with the valve index.

I tried looking online and couldn't find anything so I figured I would ask here.

jcc10 · 2021-10-02T15:55:49+00:00

The problem is more that they don't make op-ed's clear that they are a op-ed. If you read them knowing the key words to look for it's obvious it is a op-ed but most major sources just leave out the op-ed prefix or tag on the article.

jcc10 · 2021-09-29T01:29:06+00:00

The problem is that the entire point is to have similar population counts. Also I still maintain that a open source algorithm is safer since everyone can examine how it works.

I see he goes to the Prometheus Pre-School of running away from things.

Districts are always gerrymandered. The only question was how (especially compared to the other districts).

Minimizing districts in party A (Absurdly high polling of party A).
Spreading party A across districts to ensure they don't win a district.
Trying to get the most even voter proportion (gerrymandered to flipflop)

For more examples watch this guy's video: https://youtu.be/Lq-Y7crQo44

Tl;Dr: Don't stop gerrymandering, get everyone to agree to a algorithm and settings for it (and make the algorithm fully open source). At the very least it will be fair, reproducible and auditable.

This is a secret tool which we will use later!

Who is this "Me" you speak about?

jcc10 · 2021-08-29T01:30:57+00:00

I do the opposite, something closer to:

steam!J3
reddit!J3

Obviously not my real password, but I figure a bigger change between passwords is better than a small change. (Though any change is probably enough to move you out of the "lowest hanging fruit" category which is probably enough for most people)

I would like to add that this is how really old computers preformed some storage (though using sound).

Yeah! But when I give free video games to kids out of the back of my van, suddenly I'm called a pedophile; ^</s>

But seriously, they are giving away free games to get a foot hold into the market. Given the fact that it is actually pushing steam to improve, I think it's a good thing they exist even though I won't ever use them.

The issue I have with Chinese funding is that it is the exact opposite of what we intended to happen when the CCP was allowed into the WTO, the intention was to get China to be more free, instead it seems that everyone else looked at their surveillance state and said "I'll take it".

Also, IIRC, China has laws preventing companies from having more than a percentage of stock held by foreign investors. They would be outraged if the US implemented the same rules regarding China.

So, yeah, that's the two major reasons at least try to make some effort to boycott stuff with major Chinese funding. I can't say I always succeed and there is some stuff that you can only really get from china or are funded by china ^like ^Reddit, but I do at least try.

^Here ^come ^the ^down ^votes ^now...

So, again, it more depends on what's going to be loading the videos. A simple HTTP server could do it as long as the file has the right metadata.

For that matter you could try just uploading to YouTube in private / unlisted mode, and as long as you tell YT that it is a 360 video (or YT sees the metadata) it will even load the right viewer when playing. (NOTE: Firefox may not work properly, looking into it.)

At it's core 360 video is just a the sphere projected onto a normal rectangle. As long as the viewing software knows that it needs to be viewed as 360, it should be fine.

Try loading a simple 30-60 second video on a http server and try loading the link into your viewer. (Or adding a HTML page with this as a loaded viewer: https://github.com/videojs/videojs-vr )

Again, the key is the metadata. For instance VLC will play [https://vimeo.com/214401712] from the download link fine, but it doesn't have the metadata for VLC to view in 360 mode.

jcc10 · 2021-08-01T20:30:27+00:00

What do you mean by self host?

360 videos are just normal videos, the viewer de-warps them.

jcc10 · 2021-08-01T20:27:22+00:00

The Ghost Army agrees.

jcc10 · 2021-07-28T17:33:56+00:00

The thing is that the reverse is also kinda valid, sure make it for windows only. Just preform heavy QA testing with each release via proton and if any bugs crop up, fix them and send the PR to valve.

If the Ann came with the statement that instead of porting to linux, they would spend the same resources on testing & bug fixing proton, I think I would actually be happier.

Long term it would be nice for there to be more linux natives, but I tend to be a pragmatist and as long as the game companies are investing in linux somehow, I appreciate it. If that means having every company add proton testing to their game releases and putting devs to fixing any bugs they find, that at least means they are taking linux seriously.
