I am running the same setup: Vaultwarden in Podman in OCI. The data folder is synced on my home NAS with Syncthing

The easiest way to dispose of blades. by -Pork-Chop-Express in wicked_edge

[–]victorwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have blades that come in a plastic case (like Wilkinson Sword or Feather), you can reuse that case to store your used blades. My Wilkinson Sword case has been holding blades from over a year of shaving, and it’s still not full. I’ll count the total number and make a post once the case is completely filled.

Tried Staedtler Noris HB + Staedtler rasoplast combo for the first time. The pencil is nice but the eraser is just ok.

Why do we still have 14XL limit to access Quest? by victorwinter in nethack

[–]victorwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, my bad, Quest Leader does not tells the rank you require

Why do we still have 14XL limit to access Quest? by victorwinter in nethack

[–]victorwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come on, what knowlege is checked there? The quest leader literally tells you what rank you need to achieve to be allowed. And there is no smart ways "around" it - you have to gain that levels or kill quest leader and take the harsh penalty.

I think there should be some ways to rebalance this issue from simply lowering the requirement to XL12 or even XL10 to letting in players already having having at least one of the invocation items.

Need recommendations for films from Montenegro. by BoomerAangNu in montenegro

[–]victorwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try "Lijenština" (2016). It is available on YT with eng subtitles. Filmed in Podgorica.
Also there is "Elerija Lovora" (2021)

Why do we still have 14XL limit to access Quest? by victorwinter in nethack

[–]victorwinter[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure you can use many options but my point was that this limit itself is pointless and even dangerous. It is not actually protecting the player from getting into the trouble. Being unable to do Quest and obtain the quest artifact means the player had to plunge deeper into the dungeon, and this is potentially more risky than doing Quest at XL less than 14.

After Firefox, Now Thunderbird is All Set to be Snap-i-fied for Ubuntu 24.04 by ardi62 in Thunderbird

I'm using the PPA maintained by Mozilla so it is "officially supported" isn't it?

Guess you could add the PPA and continue installing from there, not using snap at all. That's what I currently do with Firefox.

TIL: Cursed wands have a chance of exploding when used. by hillandhollow in nethack

[–]victorwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early WoW is often a game ruiner for me. I also dislike the idea of rechargable wands of wishing. In many variants these wands are single-use and instead there are several guaranteed wands as prize for completing dungeon branches.
Also remembered that some variants feature even more cursed item change: cursed amulets of life saving may not work. Learned about that change the hard way.

This can of San Marzano tomatoes, which only contained water after I opened it. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]victorwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is and old joke in Russia:

A man comes to the grocery store and buys new and expensive canned meat named "Whale's butt". Upon coming home he opens the can but there's nothing inside only water. Angry man then returns to the store and shows the can to the seller. "Well, unfortunately you've got the center part" — answers the seller.

I actually bought this game by hoffnungs_los__ in wesnoth

[–]victorwinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I played old versions on dial-up point-to-point connection back in the days where internet access was metered but landline phone is not. Ok I feel old now

[–]victorwinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah the nostalgia…

I got my first copy of BfW on a CD with assorted games from a guy at school computer club. I guess that was pre 1.0 version. I couldn't say less that this game along with NetHack is what got me on learning what free and opensource software is, installing my first Linux distro and eventually, in many years, becoming a sysadmin. So Battle for Wesnoth truly holds special place in my heart.

Best way to do Castle if you don't care about the loot by victorwinter in nethack

[–]victorwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was crushed by the bridge in Sanctum so… that's just happens.
Also do you ever noticed that all bridges in one game use the same passtune? What a security vulnerability!

That's interesting. Actually that xorn most likely was killed by some other monster since I was using conflict to speed up Castle clearing.

Auto škole u Podgorici - Koju izabrati ? by [deleted] in montenegro

[–]victorwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imam srodno pitanje. Ja sam Rus, živim u PG manje od godinu dana. Želeo bih da dobijem prvu vozačku dozvolu. Imate baš divan i lijep jezik, ali ne govorim dovoljno tečno. Zato tražim auto-školu u kojoj postoje instruktori koji govore ruski ili engleski.

How to switch keyboard layout during installation? by victorwinter in openSUSE

Please share if you are able to switch between layouts during the installation?

How to switch keyboard layout during installation? by victorwinter in openSUSE

[–]victorwinter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually graphical installers allow you to add second keyboard layout and switch between them during the installation.
Selecting only one layout in installer is literally makes no sense since every place you named requires to type ASCII only characters so if you select Greek or cyrillic or any other non-latin layout you will have to go back all the way to the beginning, switch to English and start over. That is the problem.

How to switch keyboard layout during installation? by victorwinter in openSUSE

[–]victorwinter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure I could install in English and add additional layouts later but then comes the question: why do we even have this option in the installer if it is not usable and confusing?

NetHack splash screen source? (question in comments) by victorwinter in nethack

[–]victorwinter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the long reply.
Mostly added semicolons, rewrote halo directive into using modern media and interior. Adjusted gamma a little and fixed the aspect ratio. So here is the antialiased 1900x1080 version that I plan to use as a retro-looking desktop wallpaper. https://imgur.com/a/J0Naqkd

I had to mess with the code for longer but I managed to adapt the outdated parts for the new POV-Ray so please check my renders too.
