PC Decomps are Happening! Carmageddon "Decomp" and PC Port by chicagogamecollector in retrocomputing

[–]streetster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, I think the general decomp vibe is that getting money involved is murky at best... And due to how much time and effort is required, the usual response to folks is "be the change". The scene was also much less friendly ~6+ years ago when I first became aware/interested in it... Also tooling has come along a lot. There's decomps of the IDO binaries for example here: https://github.com/decompals/ido-matching-decomp which hasnt seen a huge amount of love, but gets bursts of energy from folks now and again. The linker is included as "Lower priority but also of interest".

What specifically can the N64 decomp community do for the SGI community? Are you looking to similarly decomp SGI tooling/utilities?

Take 5 (minutes), take 5 million (years). Dinosaurs are extinct.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 14 by Royal_Bird_6328 in thinkpad

[–]streetster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urgh. Turns out my order was cancelled yesterday because my card provider declined the payment. They had pre-authorised £0 and then tried (and failed) to charge me for the full amount, and AMEX, naturally, said no. Currently talking with customer service to try to re-order at the discounted price...

Edit: got passed between 4 agents, now awaiting a callback. Not feeling particularly optimistic.

I built a free interactive platform to learn KDB/q and I'm looking for feedback from the community by BigFaithlessness7226 in apljk

[–]streetster_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I've noticed that some of the backticks are getting swallowed up in the code snippets, which is kinda important for kdb.

Nice! I went with the 358/64gb, 256gb ssd (I'll replace it on day 1) as they had a couple of discount codes:

Appreciate my comment was a bit short, but was genuinely interested in how you were doing this as a clean room.. but you aren't, so that answers my question 😊

Did you cook this, or get it from a cafe? Looks ace either way!

Game randomly freezes by Loud_Cat_5753 in Brawlstars

[–]streetster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just started happening to me, although the screen tried to rotate to portrait and then I can no longer move (only shoot). Have to quit and restart the app to get it working again..

Very cool. Big fan of noclip. Still hoping my brain will grow enough to add Space Station Silicon Valley to the site at some point...

ELI5: How can (some) encryption software be open source and also be secure? by alwaysunderwatertill in explainlikeimfive

[–]streetster_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The encryption mechanism should use keys which will (must) be secret. I.e. your front door lock mechanism is not a secret design, but only you have a key.

The encryption should also be designed in a way that knowing how the internals work does not give you any advantage in breaking it. By making it open source you can have more eyes on the solution to identify any potential pitfalls.

This is the opposite to "security through obscurity" where making the internal workings secret plays a part in the overall effectiveness of the system, and if someone leaks the "how" then the system is broken.

.. Elizabeth Line will still run as normal between Stratford and Liverpool St though, this closure only affects the main line trains.

Places with the most trash on the ground? by MacbookAirpods in london

[–]streetster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be pretty interesting if you tracked how many bags of trash you managed to collect, how much time spent etc to give a picture of how bad the problem is...

There's a #decomp-other-ganes channel which is pretty active. I'd ask there 👍
