Black Friday sale. If you're still using a Virtual machine or TailsOS, today might be the day for a needed upgrade. $10 off thereabouts.

Googling this question gives a wide variety of results but I don't see anyone actually asking or answering it so...wtf?

Long press, nothing but share, delete, archive, or add to album. No sync, download or anything of the sort. Is immich supposing it's a one-way trip? What if I want a photo I backed up a year ago, I have to open the webui?

It's impossible to see which alts are up on their own merits and which alts are up because Bitcoin is.

So, I sit with my tether and wait.

For the last two years, I've been treating compose files as individual runners for individual programs.

Then I brainstormed the concept of having one singular docker-compose file that writes out every single running container on my system... (that can use compose), each install starts at the same root directory and volumes branch out from there.

Then I find out, this is how most people use compose. One compose file, with volumes and directories branching out from wherever ./ is called.

THEN I FIND OUT... that most people that discover this move their installations to podman because compose works on different versions per app and calling those versions breaks the concept of having one singular docker-compose.yml file and podman doesn't need a version for compose files.

Is there some meta for the best way to handle these apps collectively?

I'm using Emudeck's installation. I've tried wux files, extracted file-folders, and going directly to the xml files and nothing picks up. I tried running wux files directly via load and games don't start. Native and proton. I refresh and nothing. Is something up or am I missing some easy detail?

All of my roms have been moved over from my main server over samba. Should I be expecting some sort of corruption? It's never been an issue before on my desktop so I know the roms work. Can anyone show some screenshots of their rom folder, or detail what they had to do?

Four days ago, I woke up, as I usually expect to after going to sleep and I turned on my really fucking awesome Archlinux gaming rig, hit the desktop and decide, hmmmm... I haven't updated in a while(a week), let's pacman -Syyuu and get up to speed. Well, I got up to speed and my favorite game, the best game of all time, Team Fortress 2

##FAILED TO LOAD! 🚒 🔥

In the imminent crisis-state that I had found myself in, I did what any filthy scout-main Archlinux user would do, I googled the problem and put the word arch in quotation marks.

The first five results yielded ancient bullshit useful to someone five years ago, probably. The next ten, redditors complaining about old tat. Then I did what any old wine veteran would do. I shut steam down and started it in the terminal so I could monitor its raging bitch-fit in real time.

Team Fortress 2 failed to load because of lib32-libtcmalloc.so. Arch had updated it to a future version not yet even coded, and steam wasn't having it. The answer was on protondb all along! So, some fella says

The native version of tcmalloc introduced a bug on TF2 that it randomly crashes the game. You need to install lib32-gperftools (name of the Arch AUR package, other distros should have similar names) and add LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libtcmalloc.so %command% to your launch options to override the library.

et voila, I'm torturing 25/7 2fort.

Now, I know what you're thinking, who in their right mind would suggest Archlinux for a beginner? See, that's where I already caught you because this bug trickles all the way down to Garuda and Manjaro users too since they have the same libraries (and that fancy SteamOS that's floating around).

So while I love Linux and software freedom, I find suffering Linux on someone might be more suited to a person that actually wants it, and not to work through it to get to what they actually wanted to do.

I wanted to play Team Fortress 2, and I was rather irate about the last thing on my steam account that shouldn't work, not working all over me. This system has been a saint for six months, but when it's a devil, boy, is it.

Anyway, KDE is better than gnome! Thanks for reading!

I care for her well-being. I mean, I spent 15 years with someone, and I feel like I'm following a guidebook on divorce.

My marriage ended in a mutual tone. She obviously didn't love me in the same ways she used to, same for me as I used to for her, but she's still a person, and we still spent 15 years together. Formative parts of our teenage lives were experienced together. It's not even as-if there's a void, it's a gaping hole through to the other side.

I don't know if she's dead. I don't know if she's ok. I don't know anything, and I'm afraid to ask. I cut off all contact, as was pretty much universally suggested and even I had a lot of ideas that I'd never really come away from it entirely unless I literally separated my life from her. It's a divorce. It's what you do, isn't it?

I just want her to know it wasn't so much by choice as it was a commonplace necessity, but... why would she care? I also get the sense that the second my name is seen on any note, it would just the thrown away, and am I even right to send one, and for what long-term purpose?

It's just a waste of time, isn't it? We should just move on, but... can I? 15 years. I'm 35 now. I should be spending my last five decent dating years finding someone new, but I'm stuck on her being ok. I don't even have to be the one to find out, just someone tell me she's ok.

She probably just hates me and never wants to hear from me anyway, and what good would it do? I'd know how she is, I guess, but she'd have another thread into my life and things could end up more complicated overall.

Every time this comes up in my head, I decide against it, but it keeps coming up, almost daily, like a self-induced torture. "Just don't think about it!" Easy talk...

ETH at $1500 and BTC under $25k? Doubled my DCA this week.

"I don't care enough about my life to take care of myself."

"haha"

Hello all. Long-time smoker, 35, male. Anything and everything but edibles. Mostly legit. Some D8 in a pinch but nowhere near the majority.

For the last four months, about once every two weeks, I'll wake up, take a shower, walk into my living room, have a sip of water, and then run back into my bathroom, where I will vomit until the bile comes out and writhe on the floor, onto the bed, holding my stomach for 6-12 hours, screaming for God or Satan, whoever shows up first.

I've been in the hospital three times over the last month over it and only on the last visit was I asked if I used marijuana. There is nothing on any CT scan I've done, ultrasound, kidneys, liver, pancreas, appendix.

"Well I've never heard of this gobbledygook and I also have no idea how to search for stuff!"

Apparently, had you the genetic disposition, cannabinoids can bind to your stomach, and the sphincters to and from it, altering the timeframe it takes for your stomach to empty and the lagging or simply disabling entirely of the functions of the bottom of your esophagus until it's over. You'll be screaming in pain for around 8 hours. Buckle up.

Do I believe Cannabis is solely responsible?

The disease is rare and only shows up in people (usually men) who smoke daily for two or more years. I've been smoking daily for ten.

(Obligatory) Psyop?

If it were, I'd expect a little more than a matter-of-fact "quit and you'll be ok". Usually money or some type of group wants your attention from such things. I'm more leaning to this being a legitimate disease, and peers are kind-of agreeing on it. Multiple sources seem to be finding the same conclusions and I haven't met a Doctor yet who hasn't heard of it in some capacity.

I'm open to bribes, though.

I don't blame cannabis. I smoked it. It didn't jump in my mouth and light itself. I don't blame anyone else. I am unlucky, genetically speaking. You may never get it. You may never have a single symptom, or you might. If weed works for you, fantastic. It worked for me for years, until it wanted to kill me one morning, such is the diceroll of living.

Edit: I'll answer everyone after 4:30pm est. At work.

Ladies and * of the simracing Fediverse, my name is BlinkerFluid and I don't even own a wheel yet... it's out for delivery. G29, btw. Yes, YouTube.

I, am a nerd and I like operating systems that are light, utilitarian, pretty, quick and easy to use. The last part may be subjective, but I like Linux. It gives me the ownership feeling of actually owning my PC, and I don't want to give that up to race simulators.

This will all be done on Garuda Linux, KDE variant, for those following along at home.

I will catalogue my journey for historical use, for the Linux driver of the future who came here from his SearX search on his self-hosted AMD 6600 AIO he got on ebay for $200.

So where are we at, Mr. Fluid?

I own a lot of racing games and I happen to know quite a few run on Linux, like BeamNG! I also know some... kinda... work or not so well, work on Linux, like Assetto Corsa, despite spending an hour throwing protontricks commands at it from blog posts to install lots of missing Windows libraries, and the content manager. That works, at least.

Yeah so far, AC has loaded, then failed to load the exact same car and track setup, then hang, then crash. BeamNG has been a saint, and runs well, so it will likely be my first choice for testing my wheel, despite being like, my 5th choice for a racing experience, it's closer to my 1st-2st choice for a solo driving experience.

Huzzah, PCSX2!

Then there's Gran Turismo 4 and PCSX2. First off, I know I can run it as I've ran about half the game on an Xbox controller and my PC doesn't suck... that much. This hits all of my marks, personally even if it isn't that modern as this is my gaming generation, and also my generation of cars.

but a massive grey area is the wheel. I've seen general how-to's for Windows users but I'm not sure if the same information applies for me and I can't know until I have the wheel.

Dirt.. 3?!

Yeah, I'm 35 and I've been gaming forever so I own Dirt 3 on steam despite it not actually being on steam anymore. I'm pretty sure I can get the wheel running with this, although I wonder at what level.

I have a few others but I'm not sure what the utility of a racing wheel with arcade racers would be, but I'm at least going to see what chaos unfolds, and I'm also interested in cruising around GTA 5 with a wheel despite it not really being a sim. The experience would be tight.

I will keep you updated! Stay tuned!
