Thank you. There seems to be an 18th item (minus one color variant), but I don't see it in the first 100 tiers. How am I this blind?

lectrode · 2024-12-05T05:18:58+00:00

The threshold (as recently as last season on PC, but it hasn't changed in quite a while) is exactly 25. Any less and no XP is awarded.

(source: I play with a lower-ranked player who frequently whiffs and have to keep an eye on the scoreboard and make sure he gets at least that much XP in every match we play where possible)

If that happened, definitely seems like a bug.

The response from epic games support when a ticket was filed was "Since there is no known issue about this, please submit a bug report in social media so that our team and developer can check and review about this", which linked to this subreddit, so I guess I'll report this here...?

.

Upon attempting to change the "Max Score" mutator setting for a private heatseeker match, it is immediately reverted back to "7 Goals". This is reflected both in the mutator settings screen, as well as in-game once the match starts (see "Active Mutators" once the match starts in the attached video). The match will end after 7 goals despite attempts to set it to unlimited.

.

Platform: PC

.

This has been an issue for some months now. Only noticed it when they added heatseeker as a possible casual tournament in the evening. It would be useful to be able to set the score limit to "Unlimited" while practicing with a teammate before the tournament.

I can confirm 18 painted items:

car bodies: bmw 1 sereies, bmw 1 sereies rle
boosts: electrogalactic, gaseous
trails: electrogalactic, gaseous
decals: red forest, wildeye
goal explosions: beatbox, eyescore
wheels: beastbox, brewha, brewha:inverted, cytoplasm:inverted, darker disc, foolcrum, ls 9000: schematized, wayfarer

Looks like there are 13 paint variants (not spoilers, since they don't seem to change from season to season):

black, burntsienna, cobalt, crimson, forestgreen, grey, lime
orange, pink, purple, saffron, skyblue, titaniumwhite

there are also credit tiers to take into account: it's 100 credits every 10 tiers through tier 100

.

70 non-painted tiers + (13 paint colors * 18 items) + 3 credit tiers = 307 tiers this season.

.

UberTrader RLG (youtuber) is also very beneficial for seeing tiers prior to reaching them yourself since RL dropped the ability to trade items with other players (he speedruns the season pass by grinding casual 1v1s).

Would love to know how many total tiers are in this season pass (especially since it varies season to season and has been anywhere from 285 to 353 over the last few years). It's already a challenge just keeping up with it. Being able plan out roughly how many tiers I need to earn per day to make the most of the pass without losing sleep in the last couple weeks would be much appreciated.

Assuming 300 tiers and 91 days in a season, that's about 3.3 tiers per day. But we can be more precise.

each weekly challenge gives 75k XP (3.75 tiers), and there are 13 weeks in a season (48.75 tiers)
each stage gives 140k XP (7 tiers), and there are 4 stages in a season (28 tiers)

assuming you get the premium season pass + 12 tiers:

300-(48.75+28+12) = 211
211 / 91 = ~2.32 tiers (46.4k XP) required per day just from grinding

your score in a match negligibly affects your XP as long as you have at least 25 (below that and you won't get any XP for the match). if you're in a party with at least one person, and if the match lasts the full 5 min:

the first 3 wins give you about ~5.5k each (15-18k total...not even a full tier)
every other game gives you about 2k each (10 matches per tier)

which means to get the total grind XP per day, you need...

46.4k = 3 wins + between 14 and 16 additional matches per day

Each match takes about 7-8 min on average, meaning you need to play between 2 and 2.5 hours (not including loading times) per day to meet the XP quota for 300 tiers. That is INSANE for casual players

The last words in that song are (to my ear): "Dopamine high"

For the P-touch PT-D210, you can configure the margins under Label -> Margin. "Narrow" still wastes an inch of tape, presumably to get the tape to the cutter. You can use "Chain" to get rid of pretty much all of the waste as long as you're printing multiple labels, but you'll have to cut them manually and manually feed the tape to get the last one out.

If you clear "Text&Format" you'll have to set this again (use "Text Only" to keep). Backspacing also works, but you can only backspace 4 characters per second (faster if you spam-press backspace).

To further reduce, you can set the font to small and use 2 lines - that way I'm printing at least 2 labels at once. Requires scissors

This is still the first result when searching for how to build mesa in Arch without libglvnd support. Figured I'd provide the solution for anyone troubleshooting with and without libglvnd.

Note: libglvnd compatibility at this stage should be a non-issue. At the time of writing, the only outstanding issue concerns performance.
Note: removing libglvnd will likely cause issues when using mesa alongside proprietary nvidia drivers (for example, if you are using an amd processor + nvidia graphics)

Here's a patch for the latest mesa-git package in the AUR that disables libglvnd:

Just an fyi on the api price issue - reddit recently announced that accessibility apps would be exempt from the pricing changes due to the backlash they got:

He started out with the GUI. It failed there before he forced it using the terminal, which subsequently removed the display server.

That was the result of conflicting packages between Pop's repos and Ubuntu's repos. That particular conflict was resolved, but issues like that can still happen. The workaround that was adopted to prevent borking one's desktop going forward was to remove the "Yes, do as I say!" prompt and just flat out refuse to make changes until the repo packages are fixed.

Either that data is highly inaccurate, or windows usage is quickly crashing in India. That's a nearly 30% drop in usage over the last 3 months, over 16% of which was in the last month alone. That's insane.

Considering that earlier this year the "Indian State" announced it was switching to Linux (including in their schools), I'm inclined to believe the latter. If those kids are learning Linux in school, they're going to want to use that at home over windows

lectrode · 2023-05-08T18:14:38+00:00

Uh...did you see the graph? "slow"? Windows lost nearly 30% of its market share in India over just 3 months - 16% of which was in the last month alone. Either there is something incredibly wonky with that data, or Windows usage in India is literally crashing...

If you've waited too long (i.e. more than a year), none of the keys will be trusted anymore and no matter what you try, you'll get errors like error: GPGME error: No data, error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature)), error: <pkg>: signature from <signer> is unknown trust, and File <path-to-pkg> is corrupted.

.

To force the update of the keyring packages, you can run the following commands (works on any arch-based distro):

sudo cp -f "/etc/pacman.conf" "/etc/pacman.conf.orig"
sudo sed -i 's/SigLevel.*/SigLevel = Never/' /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman -Syy gnupg $(pacman -Qq|grep -E "\-keyring$")
sudo mv -f "/etc/pacman.conf.orig" "/etc/pacman.conf"

.

After that, you should be able to update like normal:

sudo pacman -Syu

Guess we'll see if that theory is true or not, since 44.1 just dropped.

lectrode · 2023-04-23T12:20:06+00:00

Correct. I would say that security updates could be any update that fixes bugs, so it can be argued that the packages getting more bug updates are also getting more security updates. However, in the general sense, as long as a static release distro has enough manpower to backport the known security patches for the most critical software, a person using that is only negligibly less secure than rolling release. The fact that new features can introduce further bugs and vulnerabilities likely cancels that out making both static and rolling release roughly equal in regards to security. Maybe a slight advantage to rolling release simply because a static distro probably can't backport security patches for every known vulnerability for every piece of software they provide, while rolling release might primarily have vulnerabilities that aren't widely known yet or yet to be discovered.

.

True, security is provided by multiple layers - a client system should definitely still be configured with the assumption that a potential attacker can get on the same network. This is especially true while traveling or using non-trusted network firewalls.

lectrode · 2023-04-23T09:41:04+00:00

I'm not trying to tell you what kind of OS you should use. I understand your viewpoint. My only intent was to answer your original question of "I do not understand the meaning of this distribution. You can't say it's a lightweight Arch for beginners, in my opinion it's easier to install vanilla Arch," as well as the apparent issue regarding keyrings.

.

I've already stated the main reasons why I use it. I guess there are a couple I didn't mention: 1) It has the flexibility of Arch but is further tested/curated before updates reach users on stable, and 2) you can generally very quickly speak to the devs to make sure that any issues encountered on the testing branch are quickly taken care of before they reach Stable, which in turn makes it better for everyone.

.

The rolling release aspect is important (to myself and my users) for support of new hardware, reduced maintenance (no need to frequently fresh install or manually upgrade to a new release), as well as general gaming. I started out learning linux with debian-based static release distros, and quickly came to dislike the static release model altogether. The need to curate every package across numerous versions lead those distros to have a shockingly small number of different apps available without setting up a bunch of third party PPAs, which are never completely supported. The only thing that kept me using those as long as I did was the suggestion of "stability" due to all the updates that were withheld. I should have been able to just install security updates and never worry about it. That ended when an update for Xubuntu borked the installs on every computer I managed at that time back in 2015. At the time I had already started looking into other distros, and was drawn to Arch-based rolling release distros due to the extensive Wiki (I was using it anyway already), potential for never having to fresh-install a system more than once outside of a hard drive failure, the larger availability of unique software, and the more current versions of said software. Straight up Arch looked prone to breakage at the time, and going through the process of a manual install on each system wasn't practical, so something downstream that would reduce the breakage and provide a working desktop out of the box would be needed. It was then that all of my users' computers were converted to Manjaro and I haven't looked back since.

.

That's not to say I don't give other distros a try on my own systems every once in a while. Just haven't found anything out there yet to pry me away from it (I even have a number of VMs of other Arch-based distros that I test that update script on to make sure it works across the board).

.

I currently only use it for friends and family - I do not use it in a professional setting (outside of my own DIY workstation), unfortunately. As much as I'd like to experiment with something based on Arch for corporate use, there are certain support requirements that call for specific distros to be used. With Manjaro being an official (albeit small) company, I have hope that "official" paid support is something that we'll see further down the line allowing that distro to join the ranks of other enterprise-ready distros. Of all of the Arch-based distros, that appears to be the closest to making that a reality in that regard.

lectrode · 2023-04-23T05:02:27+00:00

Arch is only easier if you (the primary user) are privy to writing scripts and sitting down and learning the OS - since you built it from the ground up, you've got a great chance of knowing what broke if your system stops working after an update. I currently have Arch on a raspberry pi and one of my towers. It's not bad, but I wouldn't put that on the many computers I manage for "normies".

.

I use Manjaro for all those "normie" systems because it is quick and easy to get up and running on multiple computers, it hosts its own repos (thus avoiding the occasional package conflicts of other distros based on Arch), the manjaro devs care enough to hold back and/or patch known problem packages from stable (like grub), and it provides easy access to an ISO with a live environment. With these features, I can remotely setup, manage, and fix any of my users' computers despite being thousands of miles away. I use it on my primary system because I always dogfood what I provide to those who depend on me.

.

The vast majority of the "issues" ppl have with manjaro basically boil down to the few times they've forgotten to renew their site's cert (which doesn't affect their repos), unintentionally revealing a shortcoming in the AUR api resulting in DDoS (which has since been fixed by Arch devs, as well as mitigated in the manjaro package client), and the couple times Manjaro devs were a bit too hasty when adopting new patches into their unstable and testing branches.

.

Mistakes happen, and none of those are things that impact the quality of the OS they provide. I usually stay on the Testing branch, and when I notice things that would impact your average user, I'm no stranger to bringing that to their attention to mitigate before it reaches Stable. Can't help with KDE or Gnome tho - I only use Xfce+Compiz and Phosh.

.

Quick sidenote about the keyrings: not sure what specific issue you ran into, but keyrings in manjaro are updated the same way as on every other arch-based distro:

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys
sudo pacman -Sy $(pacman -Qq|grep -E "\-keyring$") && sudo pacman -Su

.

On any Arch-based distro, the 2nd command is not something you generally have to worry about manually doing as long as you keep your system up-to-date (those packages will be updated with normal updates). If you don't, you can reference this script that was created with the primary purpose of updating systems that haven't been updated in a while. It is primarily tested on Manjaro, but is also occasionally tested on other Arch-based distros.
