Sadly all real firewalls need root. I was using AFWall+ for a long time it has neat controls for every app to allow or deny Wifi, Cell or LAN (if you have). It is a iptables/nftables frontend so you can customize the rules to your hear

That is weird. Seems like crc optimization is quite a rabbit hole. https://github.com/komrad36/CRC has a massive section about it in the README. Really interesting.

Interesting. I guess M1 doesn't have the 'crc32' "acceleration" that is included in SSE4.2.

There is one for the weird lz4json format they use now: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozlz4-edit/ But it is super unwieldy. Pretty much the only way to decode those files without compil

Exactly. As I understood the problem lies in the import of new packages. That was hanging and the deletion of one single file from the folder took ~30s. In the older versions <=0.9 this was working faster. This caused the IPFS mirror

It worked like this: rsync2ipfs-cluster fetched the packages from a rsync mirror into an IPFS-MFS-Folder updated the link in IPNS and then added this folder to a running IPFS instance/cluster. All of those packages are then available f

Torrents don't handle frequent updates very well. You'd have tons of outdated torrent floating around. They work well for archives and installation media though that doesn't change that often.

You could update Archlinux with pacman over ipfs from around 2015 until last year. https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/84 Then the mirror became too slow and couldn't handle the amount of package data

Thanks. I didn't know that.

I really miss the MSDN CD-ROMs. They had all of the information without network latency. Indexed and searchable. Categorized in a tree, complete with code examples you could immediately try. Press F1 on a function and there is the reference

They are great. 1 & 2 might have aged less well than Noir. Some puzzles are quite nonsensical, true to adventure game standards of the day. Sierra gamers found it too easy, people new to the genre too hard. Eric Idle as Rincewind is a

Sounds like Space Quest 4. That one had a Nose/Smell and Mouth/Taste icon. The narrator (Gary Owens) was also amazing in the CD version.

Some of the best parts of the SQ4 talkie are the sarcastic narrated death screens. And SQ5 has neat animations. The manual tells you to "save early, save often" for a reason.

You can die in Monkey Island. Twice. One is a Sierra Spoof complete with a Sierra death dialog. That one lets you continue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6F55am-rOY The other has to do with the fact that Guybrush can hol

It's highly optimized, but it still needs quite a bit of RAM when the index is large. But RAM is cheap nowadays. It's the only thing I really, really miss when I am on Linux. (there is FSearch, but it's not quite as great,

The stable version cannot. 1.5 Alpha can do it. It can also index properties (as in resolution, author, song/movie length, etc.) So far I would recommend that one, it has tons of new features (including a change journal that shows rena

I think Valve disable baloo (understandable since you don't want file indexing while gaming). That's probably why the default KDE search will perform poorly. You should be able to use KFind which will work kind of like the Windo

The server version called "Windows Search Services" was rather alright. It was even integrated into the Win7 Libraries and you could search through contents server-side from Explorer. It supported plugins and was reasonably fast.

If you had it index everything you want to find it would do just that. And be excruciatingly slow, unreliable and wasting Gigabytes of storage. All while consuming tons of CPU time in the background. The idea of an indexing service is goo

It's amazing. It does what Google Desktop tried and failed to do on Windows XP. And it's blazingly fast by reading NTFS directly instead of using the Windows API. (OK, back then needing 1GB of RAM was pretty much impossible.)

Good thing those old games are still just as fun today ;)

Bad Company is a staple at our LANs, you need a server emulator though. It's really fun when a few dozen people are playing.

Windows kind of does have that. They call it the global catalog or Win32 Device Namespaces. somehow C: is easier to type than \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\ or \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\ or even \\?\Volume{1ab2d2f9-

Japanese DOS had ¥ as the path separator or more specific at 0x5C. It still causes headache with the MS Mincho font. Japanese users are used to seeing ¥ at the DOS prompt so some Windows Console fonts just replace the backslash. Since you n

I switched to EURKey since I figured I type code more than emails in languages that use umlauts or accents. It takes some getting used to (even more when coming from AZERTY) but it makes me so much more productive. No more cursing at CTRL+]

The real fun starts with UNC paths. Is it `\\\\server\\share\ with\ space` or `//server/share\ with\ space` or any combination of those, preferably with quotes.

Does Helldivers 2 have a LAN mode? The first one didn't. Or does this LAN have Internet? Where I am at LAN parties are completely offline, so genuinely curious.

Their ToS also classifies Crypto-Mining, farming or plotting (whatever that is) as grounds for cancellation. Also everything forbidden by German law results in a cancellation. So if you would have for example posted something before 2017 ab
