Still had the warning from pacman show up when I posted this. But the CachyOS-provided kernel I’m on is “linux-cachyos-rt-bore” (realtime kernel, using it for low-latency audio work) while my regular kernel (basically there as a fallback option) is vanilla Arch and still on 7.2.11. I assume the realtime kernel will get the fix later.

    For the most part I don’t think a community as slow as this should have much in the way of moderation. The fewer restrictions, the better. We are all adults here (well, probably).

    Content-free clutter like OS playground fight memes and “Look! I, too, have answered the Steam survey!” posts is an exception.

    And if somebody’s talking to us via an LLM, that’s (in my own dramatising-prone opinion) disavowing what makes us special among animals (apart from our infinite capacity for conscious cruelty): Language, reasoning, imagination, creativity, self-expression, personal flair and style.

    AI-generated code is unknown territory for me. The people using it sometimes seem to know pretty damn well what they’re doing, in principle, even if they’re not quite doing it themselves. So I’m not in favour of banning it outright. But, as with the parent reddit community, I have set a “two months of verifiable development time” barrier.

    What do you think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Too lenient? Too strict? Just vote or make alternative suggestions. (I haven’t got the energy to discuss this again…)

    PS: I do miss the old banner but it was AI-generated back when that was still fresh & weird & interesting to play with… now it’s more like a plague

     

    Hello world! Finally finished an album a few days ago! It’s a slow-burn electro-post-industrial darkwave kinda thing with very sparse vocals for exploratory listening; dark, but more viscous/haunted than vicious/aggressive…?

    That just sounded more advertisey than I’m comfortable with.

    I don’t recall where the dump is from. I have a Game Cube and a (German, PAL50/PAL60) Twilight Princess, but no matching monitor/TV. This firmware here looks like it should work with my SATA Blu Ray drive and enable ripping the disc, but I don’t know if I want to risk bricking the drive. The dump I have works with Dolphin, anyway…

    Still stuck? I was going to wait for it to show up in the repos, but it hasn’t so far. So here’s how I did it (for my regular user account, not system-wide):

    git clone https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack
    cd NetHack
    sys/unix/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/linux.500
    

    Now you’ve got a Makefile in the top-level NetHack as well as the src subdirectory. Find the else #!WANT_SOURCE_INSTALL block in both and edit HACKDIR to set the directory for the game itself and SHELLDIR to set the directory for the launcher script.

    (And if I actually knew how to use make, I’d probably have a less clunky method than this. Anyone?)

    make fetch-Lua
    make all
    make install

    While I prefer Dynahack these days for the more luxurious TUI and additional content, Nethack has been one of my favourites from as far back as my Amiga days. Once you realise you can at least try to do anything with anything¹ (use the * wildcard character when asked for an item), the game opens up in ways most RPGs just can’t.

    ¹ use a wand to write in the dust, train a pet to steal from shops, throw potions at monsters, eat (or refrigerate) slain monsters to gain their abilities, rub lamps just in case, wash the ink off scrolls, use a credit card to unbolt doors…
