I did. I agree it's not obvious. But you cannot run OpenGL, Vulkan, Glide or DirectX on Windows either without having the proper hardware and software installed. So yeah. Waydroid needs wayland. Anbox runs on X11.

w3m can even display images in a linux console if you have the proper drivers or use KMSCON. It unwieldy but surprisingly usable. And my laptop battery runs for 8 hours which is quite amazing for a Zen1.

You can't run X11 programs on Wayland without Xwayland. Likewise you cannot run Wayland programs on X11 without a wayland compositor like Cage (a wayland kiosk) or Weston. Both run as a window on X11 inside of which Waydroid works just

Hard disagree. You can run the same programs on any DE or Window Manager or even without one (on pure X11 for example). That's not a hurdle it's a feature. Users who don't know about the feature can just use a pre-configured

Has happened: Core2Duo, Opteron64 and Athlon64 can run W11 RTM They will bluescreen booting after an update to 24H2 because they are missing the POPCNT instruction. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/wind

True, but then the spammer still needs to have your phone number or your @username. Sadly there are too many data leaks so those phone numbers are out there.

Same here. Telegram does not suggest contacts, groups or anything else to you. If you see wackos it's because you have them in your contact list. It's the only IM I have used that works most of the time, is not Google or Meta, is

Yep, most film (also photo) attracts dust like a magnet. Kodak made a Static Eliminator to mitigate that with high voltage to an extent: https://mcnygenealogy.com/book/kodak/static-eliminator.pdf

The cool thing with KeePass is that each client is also a local backup. It's pretty neat.

There is an even quicker way from the monitor: 6 CTRL+P Will instantly divert output to slot 6. (and boot the disk if there is hardware there)

Yeah. It was neat. But it rebooted in under a second so a complete crash was no biggie. RAM wasn't even cleared so usually no (or limited) data loss. I thought it was PR#6 (redirect output) to boot from the disk controller in slot 6. I

It was always awkward to do low level disk stuff by basically "remoting" into the drive to execute code. OPEN 1,8,15,"N:NEWDISK,01":CLOSE 1 was always a weird way to format a floppy...

And if something didn't work he included a complete debugger inside "Apple II Machine Language Monitor" in ROM so you could always just disassemble and poke at things, pipe disassembly to the printer, read memory, change code

Renaming anything (without a manifest) setup.exe will cause Windows to ask for UAC elevation. The user cannot opt-out. There are a few other hard coded strings like "install" that cause this AFAIR. You can also use its_a_setup_mr_

They also did this: https://web.archive.org/web/20160314132836/http://www.opnsen... And WIPO had to take the domain away from them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PfSense#OPNsense

I'm weird. I'm still using the RoR Plugins for NetBeans. It still works pretty great (including haml and coffee autocomplete and code highlighting) for maintaining some legacy apps if you don't intend to reinstall it from scr

It also has pretty neat support for emailing patches. And it's practically impossible to lose data as long as any single dev still has an intact .git directory. Nobody is preventing the devs from just setting up a second "upstre

Yeah. At least you got a good MSDN CD in 1999 with tons of example code and all the info you'd want on Windows. Now we get: {{ Fill in the Description }} https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module&#x2

Yeah I messed with that. Sidechannel DLLs for RDP aren't fun. XFreeRDP actually also supports that on Linux. I used it for signalling phone calls from the client to an RDP RemoteApp and initiating calls from the RemoteApp. I would decl

You could try Barrier (formerly Synergy) for input and clipboard. I found that it's really good latency-wise on 100MBit+ LAN.

For my personal stuff I also included a Nepenthes tarpit. Works great and slows the bots down while feeding them garbage. Not my fault when they consume stuff robots.txt says they shouldn't. I'm just not sure if legal would love m

I completely dumped the windows search and only use voidtool's Everything when I am on a Windows box. It can search multiple indexed NTFS drives in miliseconds. Indexing is usually a few seconds since it works directly on the NTFS stru

Sadly under the horizon for me. But it's raining anyways. Better luck next time to anyone around here and happy eclipse to the people that can enjoy it.

That's something I'd use a canvas or even a SVG for. SVG FFT Analyzer sound like a fun project. Oh, looks like I'm way late: https://cprimozic.net/blog/building-a-signal-analyzer-with-m...
