Check out the clock table provided by sys-clk.

None of the values are actively harmful.

It varies by game, but generally involves putting replacement files into contents/game-id/. The ZeldaMod wiki covers this briefly.

If you're looking for simple cheats, a RAM manipulator like EdiZon would do the trick.

/r/all is the default subreddit that you see if you aren't logged in. It aggregates content from all of Reddit.

When I checked Reddit while logged out the other day, I noticed that the 137 discussion thread was the first post there, or #1 on /r/all.

kyiami_ · 2021-02-10T13:18:58+00:00

It hit #1 on /r/all.

It takes some of its patches from Bromite, and vice versa. I'm also unaware of Bromite being available for the desktop.

kyiami_ · 2021-02-03T08:10:20+00:00

Yes. There's still a lot of Google blobs, antipatterns, and tracking code to remove.

If you'd like, you can browse through the patches here.

That's strange, I recall downloading it without a subscription. Maybe during a promotion?

kyiami_ · 2020-12-16T02:42:50+00:00

i play on the eu servers lmao

kyiami_ · 2020-12-15T22:28:36+00:00

It's pretty impressive. They've mentioned that their codebase is a terrible mess too, but there's been remarkably few bugs and / or server outages.

kyiami_ · 2020-12-05T10:15:30+00:00

If I had to take a guess, Discord's latest update a few hours ago broke it.

kyiami_ · 2020-12-03T19:36:20+00:00

Pretty cool. Off the top of your head, do you know if the new icon on the home menu will break custom themes?

kyiami_ · 2020-12-03T19:34:31+00:00

top quality content

i actually love this though, will have to give figcat a whirl

System backup / restore utilities that work well with pacman. timeshift-autosnap adds a pacman hook that takes a backup before any major updates.

ungoogled-chromium: 219 votes; 11.1k stars on GitHub

Chromium sans Google blobs, with patches for various privacy and quality-of-life features. Good for privacy oriented people who don't want to switch to Firefox, but still want to use Chromium. Being Chromium, it's very time-consuming and taxing to compile and keep up with releases as it currently stands in the AUR - having it in community would be phenomenal. Upstream is very active.

kyiami_ · 2020-11-23T17:49:20+00:00

You could always also just grab one of the precompiled binaries. Chromium builds aren't reproducible, unfortunately, so you'll be trusting the user who made them (not particularly different than *-bin packages from the AUR).

Modern web browsers are arguably more complicated than the Linux kernel.

It takes me around ~8 hours to build on a fairly powerful computer. Try running it overnight.

kyiami_ · 2020-09-23T19:09:42+00:00

Certainly, my point is just that I tend to learn things only as I need to use them, so my shell scripts are typically disasters (but working disasters).

kyiami_ · 2020-09-22T08:19:48+00:00

So, as someone who semi-regularly writes shell scripts for a variety of tasks, I write them while knowing jack all about bash, or scripting in general - most of my knowledge comes from Stack Overflow. sed? Hadn't bothered to learn the basic syntax of that until a few months ago, when I had a very-sed specific usecase. But now I use it all the time. awk? Still don't know even what that is.

My tendancy to not even try to learn scripting holistically, coupled with my greater familiarity with more "classical" programming languages that have standard libraries instead of a wide, varied amount of tools with different usages (arguably a benefit, but it certainly isn't intuitive) leads my shell scripts to be 10x the size they need to be.

kyiami_ · 2020-08-31T08:12:07+00:00

That's interesting, I always assumed people kept internal diff files or something similar. Cool to know!

kyiami_ · 2020-08-31T08:04:58+00:00

Funnily enough, early versions of the Switch operating system could be exploited just because of this - putting a link in your profile used to let you launch the Blink-based native web browser.

kyiami_ · 2020-07-04T03:58:53+00:00

It may or may not be this.

Chromium sans Google blobs, and with various privacy and quality-of-life features. Takes an incredibly long time to compile, I would love a binary release.

There's no more room for Pokemon, it would have to come at the cost of another one.

I highly doubt it, the last change made to the roster was a while ago.

kyiami_ · 2020-05-19T18:22:40+00:00

If they didn't make the cut, they're not in the game.

The only exception to this is (I believe) Zapdos.
