I believe I may have been able to mostly reproduce your setup directly in Bottles, or at least found another way to achieve the same.
I made a completely fresh bottle, went to dependencies and then installed cnc-ddraw. Then I installed the game, and it works. The intro videos play fine, but then the menu doesn’t draw properly as you said, but the whole menu is drawn at least which makes it just janky but totally fine to navigate. Then once in-game it runs just fine.
My cats will eat anything if it’s served with Churu. That stuff is wild. Just a blob of Churu in my hand with the pill in it and the cat’s so into licking the Churu they don’t even realize they just took a pill.
The daily injections though, those weren’t fun. Especially once he started feeling better and had energy to fight us.
It’ll never abused nor fall on the wrong hands. Never. And then it does and they act like nobody could foresee that happening. It’s infuriating.
All the data collection going on, it’ll backfire spectacularly eventually.
And I’m too hungry to make that decision let alone take on the cold to obtain the food in question.
There’s definitely security advantages to running things across multiple instances: if one gets hacked, the others are unaffected.
The networking should be pretty simple for what you’re doing. A few things just change to like 127.0.0.1 to something like 172.31.X.X or whatever IPs your VPC ends up using.
It looks like you’re doing very well, I’ve seen big companies with less security than that.
My experience has been quite the opposite: Windows is the one that’s constant problems for me, with no obvious way to fix and if I were to follow the common advice on the Internet I’d be reinstalling it more than I use it.
Linux has been very reliable for me. Sometimes I look at my uptime and I’m like, maybe I should reboot soon.
They’re always some initial problems just like Windows but usually once it’s all fixed up it stays that way. My install is 13 years old and still going strong.
I’ve got 6.5 years before I finally locked myself out and had to reboot it, which was entirely my fault.
Misconfigured CORS is no worse than someone using curl, or postman, or any other tool of that kind. What could compromise your server is the backend side of things, the frontend is just a limited HTTP client in the end. The real risk is those making direct requests to your server. CORS is just an ask for browsers specifically to stop cross domain communication, it protects the users not you.
You can help that a lot by using containers like Docker or Podman, but you should also make sure your backend is secure. But the most risk really even then would usually be, break into your database via SQL injection or something like that, still not breaking into the whole instance.
If anything, making sure to use SSH keys, disable root login and general server best practices is way more important than your app. You’re more likely that your server itself will be attacked than the backend. Security comes in layers.
But realistically you’ll be fine, and if you do end up hacked, it’s a learning experience.
~Not really. All the features of that tool are basic functions we’ve had before LibreOffice was still OpenOffice.~
~Since this converts to Markdown, it’s inherently a very lossy conversion. What’s hard to pull off is preserve the full formatting when converting to an odt or something.~
Someone pointed out it doesn’t just convert word documents to Markdown, it can also transcribe and OCR, so I guess it does have some usefulness!
Bazzite drive me nuts. It’s pretty good out of the box but I had to do some crazy shit to make stuff work for my friend that’s just starting on Linux.
I measured it, I was able to install like 2GB worth of Arch updates in the time it took to rpm-ostree kargs --append. Waiting 5 minutes to install a tiny <1MB utility package gets annoying fast. It’s nice to be able to just tell my friend to boot the last generation though. Tradeoffs.
It runs great otherwise though, I see the appeal especially for new users and fixed hardware like the handhelds. Just works.
Yeah there’s those situations, fairly rare. Most of the ones I see coming here are the free speech kind that are mad they got banned for harassing people and generally being major assholes.
Welcome to Lemmy then! The mods aren’t perfect either but at least you have choices in instances.
Fedora is usually pretty good at being up to date while still user friendly and still operate like a classic distro. The immutable ones are also pretty nice if you’re into that. Otherwise you could consider Arch or Endeavour. If you’ve been using Linux since 2012, an Arch distro’s probably easier than you think.
I switched to Arch in 2011 after being on Ubuntu since 7.04 and the Unity disaster… and I’m still running that install to this day. I’m typing this from it!
In practice I’ve found Arch’s always up to date packages to be less of a hassle than dealing with dependency hell of carefully pulling newer dependencies when you inevitably need a newer feature of a package. Worst case there’s containers for the few stubborn “only works on this exact version of Ubuntu” cases but it’s pretty rare.
There’s a few, and they proceed to get downvoted to hell and banned from here as well because people are even less tolerant to those that love to test the rules here.
Legal content that violates community rules or instance rules but is otherwise harmless like spam, is kept in the modlog just fine. People don’t generally browse the modlogs as you generally can’t interact with the stuff anyway. No upvotes (more likely, tons of downvotes), no commenting. Not much better than going to the internet archive to undelete a post elsewhere.
More extreme content like CSAM usually gets deleted then purged instead, which is a feature that properly goes in and wipes the content permanently.
I use systemd-boot so it was pretty easy, and it should be similar in GRUB:
title My boot entry that starts the VM
linux /vmlinuz-linux-zen
initrd /amd-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux-zen.img
options quiet splash root=ZSystem/linux/archlinux rw pcie_aspm=off iommu=on systemd.unit=qemu-vms.target
What you want is that part: systemd.unit=qemu-vms.target which tells systemd which target to boot to. I launch my VMs with scripts so I have the qemu-vms.target and it depends on the VMs I want to autostart. A target is a set of services to run for a desired system state, the default usually being graphical or multi-user, but really it can be anything, and use whatever set of services you want: start network, don’t start network, mount drives, don’t mount drives, entirely up to you.
https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.target.5.en
You can also see if there’s a predefined rescue target that fits your need and just goes to a local console: https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.special.7.en
How’s the disk encrypted? I’ve never heard of anyone setting up an encrypted drive such that you can’t manually mount it with the password. It’s possible but you’d have to go out of your way to do that and only encrypt the drive with a TPM-managed key. It’s kind of a bad idea because if you lock yourself out your data’s gone.
I just have a boot entry that doesn’t do the passthrough, doesn’t bind to vfio-pci and doesn’t start the VMs on boot so I can inspect and troubleshoot.
Yes it does, I’ve regularly updated my system that way. It is a bit buggy at times though, I ended up uninstalling the backend.
But it’s still useful for managing Flatpaks and stuff.
Seems a bit harsh considering single user instances or very small ones. I can be away for a week but not dead.
Maybe it can be hacked together with Syncthing: have your phone’s camera sync with an inbox folder on the desktop, have the desktop pick up the files and transcode them with handbrake, then move the original out of the inbox. This will cause Syncthing to sync the deletion back to your phone, and sync the transcoded version back on your phone.
I’d also check if you can just change the bitrate in your camera app’s settings in case there’s a way to lower the quality there. Could be noticeable, could be just as good as handbrake, never know with hardware encoding.
