Java > Bedrock

F*ck M$ for even making Bedrock…
It’s an inferior version of Minecraft and it fractures the modding community.

RedLib, the continuation of LibReddit,
still works:
github.com/redlib-org/redlib

I use it in combination with this GreaseMonkey script,
to redirect me to a random RedLib instance:
greasyfork.org/…/469587-reddit-to-libreddit-redir…

Due to instances often going down and/or stop working.

I run [linux-xanmod-anbox]aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-xanmod-anbox) for root support in Waydroid (Android on Linux).

And I configured my kernel to support VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output).
So I can fully pass through one of my GPUs to my Ameliorated Windows KVM,
which I use for both work and gaming.

Amazing, basically native speeds,
currently playing Horizon Forbidden West with maxed out graphics and DRS disabled at a steady 60-80 FPS.

Previously I also played Horizon Zero Dawn in it, also maxed out graphics, steady locked 100 FPS,
below is a benchmark comparison of HZD in the Linux host OS and the Windows KVM guest OS:

Yush, it does under the KVM :)

Gotta admit, it was very hard to setup initially.
However it’s been working perfectly ever since I did.
Been using it for about a year or 2 now.

Also when I linked the Arch wiki,
I noticed in it’s article that there’s now a gpu-passthrough-manager,
which will likely make the process of setting up a little bit easier.

Root on Android is a necessity for me.
I’ve been rooting all droids I use for the past 10 years or so.

Imagine using Linux as a power user,
without being able to use sudo/su.

Also, Magisk does not just allow any application to access root, you have to manually allow apps to make use of it.

Just like administrator rights on any other OS,
things only go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, and then grant rights to something malicious.

This is not a fair comparison.

Instead you should compare Chrome with FireFox.
And Brave (privacy focused Chrome fork)
with LibreWolf (privacy focused FireFox fork).

I’ll stick with LibreWolf,
no way I’ll drive anything Chromium based as my main browser.

Enuf with the Arch hate already…

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don’t use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

Genuinely the only time Arch has broken something I can't fix myself (lemmy.world)

Context: A few days ago Arch pushed out a legitimately broken update. This was because they shipped out a testing version of util-linux. They very quickly fixed this… except I use SE Linux (say what you will I wanted to dive into it) and now I’m stuck waiting for the maintainer to update the AUR package so I can fix my...

Rikj000,
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

If working with the AUR,
you can alter the PKGBUILD and other build files on your own behalf.

To either fix what’s wrong,
or to roll back to a previous version of the package.

I’ve did both a few times already,
however I’m on Manjaro.
Pamac, their graphical installer,
prompts me if I’d like to edit the build files before starting the build/install process, unsure how to do it in Arch, but the ArchWiki should be able to tell you.

Also, if you’d fix what’s wrong,
please post your diff on the AUR package thread, that can save the maintainer some work / help with rolling an updated package out to the other users faster.

Rikj000,
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

You can try rolling back to a previous version though.

By checking the log section in the AUR,
you can see all the commits (changes) done to the build files.
aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=util-linux-…

Clicking on a commit message shows you the diff.

Start by the last commit,
undo the changes (green lines),
re-apply the removals (red lines),
then attempt to re-build.

If that did not work out,
do the same for the commit before that until you rolled back up to the latest working version.

Never ever would I consider playing a game with kernel level access.

Rikj000,
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yes that is the actual site.

LuckyPatcher has been around forever,
and has a good reputation + community.

Never seen anyone mention anything that it might contain malicious code.

The developer receives revenue through donations and showing ads on the site.

Sadly the project is not open source though.
My guess would be to prevent the hacks / patches it uses,
from being patched / made un-usable.

To be 100% sure though,
you’d have to de-compile the app,
and reverse engineer the source code,
which is a very tedious and time consuming task.

Please don’t,
I just blocked that guy for spamming my feed…

Perhaps Checkpoint?
It’s mostly a save backup/restore tool,
but also has cheat support.

Latest current stable release for 3DS is 3.7.4

Have not used them myself,
but a quick internet search for “Checkpoint cheats” gave me this guide:

SimpleLogin,

It’s still WIP,
but ForgeFed, an addon for ActivityPub,
will do exactly that
once it will be in a releasable state +
integrated into Forgejo
codeberg.org/ForgeFed/ForgeFed

FYI, Suyu (the active fork of Yuzu)
already moved to Forgejo:
git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

Rikj000,
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

To improve readability on mobile

Rikj000,
@Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I guess they saw the DMCA coming,
since their Forgejo has been up for a while now,
initially as a mirror, now as the main repo.

But starting out on Gitlab/Github,
helped them with getting the initial exposure to attract new devs to the project.

Which they successfully gained,
so I understand why they did it,
and glad it all panned out as they hoped for :)

Figure out which politicians are behind this.
And throw them out,
since they are trying to take away your rights (to privacy).

They are looking to apply mass surveillance upon you guys wrapped into a “For the kids safety” package as usual…

Relic Castle,
is the site name that got DMCAd by Nintendont.

Saves you from opening the article.

It automatically happened,
I believe with every install of an updated Flatpak, which is rather often.

Been a while though, since lately I’ve been happily using AMD for quite some time.

But I do recall Nvidia driver updates slowing down my update process by a lot,
while I have none of that with AMD.
