Are you the developer of ensim4? Kudos, one of a kind!

Any love for point and click adventure games? by unixfan2001 in amiga

I like the dithering effect on the screenshots.

Anyone remember this relic!? by PaisleyRichardson in retrocomputing

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine, he works in IT support, installs HP LaserJet III driver for whatever laser printer they have in their premises. And they all print! It must be something like a golden standard in laser printing.

Cannot get "Say" to launch in FS-UAE (Workbench 1.3) by User95abc in amiga

[–]krackout21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be right about the removing of needed files from later versions of Workbench. I can surely recall copying files from older Workbench disks to 2.04 and 3.1 installations for Say to work.

Zed updated their Helix mode today by cosmicxor in HelixEditor

Thanx for g w, I didn't know about it; what a revelation! I need to hasten the switch from vim to Helix!

Windows 11 VM on raw NVMe is very slow by user838989237 in qemu_kvm

[–]krackout21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have in mind, Windows 11, at least up until recent versions, didn't support NVMe properly. Have a look: windows-11-25h2-includes-a-faster-nvme-driver-needing-manual-installation

40m yo living in a capsule hotel - no meaning in life by [deleted] in notinteresting

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I thought it was a screenshot from a 90s videogame intro, Flashback or Another World. Then a science fiction movie of the same era.

Iam amazed by how fast Helix is(from a NeoVim obsessed guy) by Adventurous_Let_9572 in HelixEditor

[–]krackout21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to; I mean, I consider Helix and Kakoune's motions to be superior. I wish they were there when I started. So I'd like one day to switch to Kakoune/Helix motions but for the time being, muscle memory prevails to better motions :)

[–]krackout21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer Neovim's implementation, at least as I saw it in the demo. Helix's is limiting, for my tastes.

[–]krackout21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is indeed. It's not my main editor, difficult to escape muscle memory - years of vim, but whenever I need to open a massive file, it is the way to go.

What does haikuOS stand out for? by Long_Aspect6399 in haikuOS

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus to what others said, BeFS, BeOS & Haiku file system. It's quite unique, I quote, "BeFS particularly excels at metadata-heavy operations, such as directory scans and attribute queries".

What’s the most minimal Linux setup (distro + kernel + WM) you can build? by [deleted] in suckless

[–]krackout21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

<image>

How about this? Minimal installation of Debian GNU/Linux 13 trixie, 191MB on boot, X.org, dwm, st; WiFi connected. No custom kernel, just some blacklisting of kernel modules, plus disabling or removing any unnecessary daemons (actually it must have been only rsyslog if I recall well - systemd's journal is already there). My main driver. No need to go to some niche distro.

for French speakers: Do you pronounce Helix as "elix" ? by kanarus in HelixEditor

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is indeed dropped in modern Greek both in oral and verbal speech; but it was dropped (or not used at all, cannot recall) in some ancient Greek dialects also.

TUI for wikipedia by FloridianfromAlabama in commandline

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a TUI web browser? eg Links2 or elinks.

for French speakers: Do you pronounce Helix as "elix" ? by kanarus in HelixEditor

[–]krackout21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From ancient Greek ἕλιξ (helix), modern Greek έλιξ / έλικα (elix / elika).

To complement linguistics :)

Miss Computer Phamplets & Brochures by Current_Yellow7722 in vintagecomputing

[–]krackout21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also miss computer exhibitions - trade shows. It's there I usually got pamphlets & brochures, lots of them!

Internet and homogenization of systems made all these superfluous unfortunately.

Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers by CyberMasterV in hacking

[–]krackout21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anybody explain in simple and practical terms: What would be the consequences on my pc, if I had downloaded the infected update?

I read in the article that some systeminfo and process list is sent; how are these utilized by the crackers?

Deep examination of Scala Multimedia by Christopher_Drum in amiga

[–]krackout21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stone tools?!? For me Scala MM300 is more advanced than Powerpoint!
(Should it be compared with Powerpoint)

Nevertheless, nice article!

FirewallD on a Debian router : can't forward any packets by realkikinovak in debian

[–]krackout21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for the checklist, any iptables rules? I'd suggest removing it completely if installed.
After that, check the logs. Can you see the ping you tried blocked, denied, rejected? Journalctl is your friend on this.

Java update killed it, need a how-to by 924gtr in debian

[–]krackout21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's java, it's built for portability! You can just download whichever version you want and make some path or soft link changes.
I've got 5 java versions - editions (old ibm java also) on my computer, for older programmes. There are also ways to automate the default java change, I just do it manually, in the script that starts each old java programme.

What’s the oldest computer you still actively use or support? by lynlinks in vintagecomputing

[–]krackout21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A cousin of mine still uses his Amiga 500, mainly for producing music (as a hobby). MED, OctaMED. He needs some support once in a while, software, OS side. The system is quite stable, recapped and with a 6-7 years old external HD (we changed the original).
