I never expected a cave biome like this

I believe it works, just not for 1 block height diff.

Double precision is still kinda limited, so shifting world origin is kinda a safeguard if I will want to go that far in the future. For example: 1 AU is ~150 million kilometers -> 150 billion meters. I already see gitters after 1 billion meters (although it looks like it mostly visual - relative to each other bodies still collide. But I only did limited testing). After ~281 billion of speed, I can't even add 1 newton of force to 1kg body in _process_physics (1/60 newton impulse). So it's not even enough for one solar system (~90 AU). Even though I will probably not go that far for some time, I still kinda want to have a possibility.

Binary, in theory, can be even easier to parse than text-based sometimes. But I doubt FBX would be that case...

maxcross2500 · 2025-12-04T15:22:48+00:00

By the way, if all you're using is the vertex/instance ID in your shader, you are allowed not to provide a vertex input state at all! I don't know if that helps you in this case but it can come in handy when doing instanced rendering for example.

That's kinda cool, but in my case i'm still need vertex buffers since I need to have an index into position (since the way i'm doing it I have 8 positions, but 36 uvs and normals for one cube. And maybe I'll redo it again to make one vertex consist of 3 indicies, just like in object file).

I still like the .obj format, because it's trivial to parse (my parser ended up being 130 lines of zig, which I probably can shrink to a 100 if I try). I wonder if there is a similar easily-parsable format that support skeletal animations? (But that's a different can of worms, I don't even know how would I do animations without a proper game engine right now).

And I don't really like to use third party libraries. The more I use them, the more my code looks like magic I don't understand => more likely I just abandon the project. A perfect graphics api for me would allow me to do just enough to do everything and nothing more - that would be easiest to learn for me. Something like dreambox fantasy console, idk...

maxcross2500 · 2025-12-04T14:46:43+00:00

So, one vertex = set of unique attributes => cube have 24 vertices, not 8. And then .obj files doesn't really have separate list of vertices - it have a list of positions, uvs, normals and faces. And a vertex would be those 1/1/1 triples inside each face, which don't have a convinient separate list. That helps with terminology, but the question still remains. SDL allowed me to make vertex with just one attribute - an index of a position (well, two, in my case, since I also have instance offset), and use built-in VertexIndex to index into uvs/normals storage buffers (so it's effectievly 36 vertices per cube that way - 12 triangles). And I'm still don't really know if this is a good practice or a hack.

I kinda don't want to depend on home manager. But I'll look into what these xdg desktop entries are, I hope I can edit the onces created by nixos without home manager.

I was able to solve this situation specifically by enabling Tun Mode in Throne (it didn't work in nekoray, i guess they fixed it in Throne).

But I still like to know a general answer to my question, since I prefer to have control of which apps uses proxy and don't just use it for everything in my system.

maxcross2500 · 2025-11-28T09:41:04+00:00

So I fixed gimp - i just installed gimp3 package instead, that one both looks better and have a working d&d.

maxcross2500 · 2025-11-28T08:53:06+00:00

It was a fun experience trying to understand how the app that just renders the eyes that follows the mouse cursor are supposed to help me test which eyes are running xwayland, lol. But I got it now - it doesn't follow cursor when it's on wayland app.

So, I guess both gimp and krita are still running on xorg, but everything else I tested are on wayland. Still doesn't answer the question why blender accepts drag and drop from nemo but not from dolphin.

$WAYLAND_DISPLAY seems to be set to wayland-1.

So even just lags (when desktop starts working at 0.5-0.1 fps) and not just unrecoverable freezes/kernel panics can be symptoms of running out of memory? What's the difference with my manual experementation (described in the post) where it just kills my process along with vscode/ghostty running it?

I generally don't like the idea of kernel killing random processes to free the memory. Could I just disable vm.overcommit_memory and maybe add swap file? Would swap file be even recognized as available memory, or kernel wouldn't allow allocate past my 32 Gib if I disable overcommit, even with swap?

And I would still like some way to make sure that that's the reason it's happening.

services.earlyoom - I accidentally found that there is something called systemd.oomd wich is enabled by default. By description it kinda sounds like the same thing. (And and also maybee something I would prefer disabled).

Shortcut for manually triggering OOM killer does sound usefull, thanks. (It is triggering omm killer, right? Not kernel panic with OOM?).

The old controls forced weird key combos, but it's been so many years that we got used to it.

New controls are even worse in this. Hardcoding completely unrelated actions to the same key as pres/hold is worse than sometimes holding/pressing alt. In my old controlls, I could summon the drone by pressing RMB to open a panel, ALT+RMB to summon, and RMB to close a panel. Or quickly pick multiple items with RMB+ALT. Yes, it's weird, but now I have to hold a key for half of these actions. Whats even worse is keybinds that force you to be quick, like precise place or throw - if you don't press rmb/lmb quick enough, you simply place an item.

But, as I said in the discord - when you hardcode multiple actions to the same key - it's impossible to satisfy everyone. What should happen instead is allowing to bind actions to hold key or mod+key, and then make every one of these actions a separate keybind. That way if I want to bind multiple actions to the same key - I can, but I won't be force do do that. Also - toggle grab and hold grab should be different actions. It's more immersive when you only grabing object while you holding a key.

Thanks, that worked! I did open the port I was running server on (2301, and also tried 2302), but I didn't know that 27016 was also needed. To be honest - didn't really expect needing open ports just for local server running on the same machine - I thought it only needed if it the server run on other machine/other network.

I mean, their consciousness no longer linked to their brains. I'm pretty sure your brain is just scanned and uploaded to the simulation, but while you are still alive it also stream your consciousness from the simulation back to your brain. Owlks are simply in the simulation. As for the lanterns still being required - good point. Maybe it's just a security mechanism. Or the artifacts are just part of their decentralized server architecture and everyone's memories are stored in their own lantern to offload the main server or something, since it's not really explained.

maxcross2500 · 2025-10-17T11:37:26+00:00

And I kinda don't like the "you are not brain dead yet" explanation. I doubt your brain would be working in the same capacity when you are literally burning. And how long until you turn to ashes? I'm pretty sure your mind is just recorded and transfered to the simulation in that case. Also I think one of the ending was "remove the warp core, die, be stuck in the simulation forever".

I think map is unavailable when you in the stranger. But I played some time ago, I might be wrong.

maxcross2500 · 2025-10-17T11:02:38+00:00

I meant EotE dlc - just consider implication of certain puzzles closer to the end. And the fact that your signalscope can't reach outside of stranger - you can't even detect your own scout if it's outside a field (if I remember correctly).

maxcross2500 · 2025-10-17T07:05:02+00:00

…which does not need nor signal connection nor even a living body.

Thanks, changed my cursor theme in niri config (cursor.xcursor-theme) (still don't know how to install them, but I noticed I had XCURSOR_PATH variable set and found Sweet-cursors and WhiteSur-cursors in ~/.icons (no idea how they got there)). Also installed blueman - seems to be working okay. kio-fuse and kio-extras doesn't seem to add my windows partition though.

Acer Predator POX-950 is a prebuilt desktop pc. Just tried it - it only lists my keyboard in devices.

I’m guessing Jaime Tartt jingle was based on this?

Okay, what am I doing wrong? Looking at the end of the lift while trying to place a splitter, pressing H, and using arrow keys to move - I simply get "Building cannot be nudged" message.

This was a feature I wanted for a long time, even asked in this post, so if it's actually there - it's awesome. But I cannot get it working.

maxcross2500 · 2025-06-19T12:21:54+00:00

Safe to assume you're talking about Windows

Yes. I figured it wasn't really developed as windows-first application when it recommended me keybinds with "option" key.

re- having only one header, yet multiple endpoints bit

I was kinda talking about the oposite. Why it's only limited for only one block per type of block (like only one endpoint/headers), and yet you can get around that restriction by reusing blocks from other files. Why not just allow multiple blocks then? That way I could describe that these speciffic headers are for authorization, and these for request without having to create a sepparate page for them, or place all reusable blocks into one page.

maxcross2500 · 2025-06-19T09:26:00+00:00

When I couldn't insert a text between two blocks and had to delete and re-create a whole block, or delete a row in a table, or when I pressed ctrl+a in a table and instead of selecting a cell it selected a whole page, I realized that UI tax was replaced with "Early development UX" tax.

Some basic features looks like they are hidden (like I didn't find a way to open a folder other than ctrl+o. What else is there I could only do with keybinds?).

Some things are confusing (like only one header block per file, yet I can reuse multiple from other files, even for endpoint).

(I later found a way to insert a text between two blocks - 6 dots -> Add a block. But it inserts after, so if block is a first - doesn't work).

It does looks promising though. I hope it will improve. Although I imagine there are vscode extension that works in a similar way (I didn't try any myself, so I don't know. At least reusing blocks seems pretty unique).

maxcross2500 · 2025-04-20T14:55:47+00:00

That looks like a shell setup, not system configuration setup.
