Inspired by @i_lost_my_bagel - I converted one of my drives to winbtrfs (NTFS before on the left, WinBTRFS on the right)

Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.

The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ and use the official .deb

We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.

If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

Not being able to run your CI locally seems like a bit of a pain in the ass. I always end up with these N commit chains to fix simple problems in github actions because I can't just launch it locally and fix things the easy way.

@dotstdy @wolfpld I run into a similar problem with gitlab runners. I sort of make it a requirement that I can ssh (or rdp to windows hosts), go to wherever it's building and fiddle with stuff locally until I have something that works.

@dotstdy push force and squash, repeat ..

@dotstdy @wolfpld sometimes I wonder if this sorry state of things happened because of the 'ops people' vs 'dev people' distinction. I feel like those container technologies and CI integrations where written by ops folks primarily.

Everyone pushing Firefox .. it's definitely more wonky and unstable on my Arch desktop than Chrome

Shutting down (rebooting) my Linux box and I see it wait for more than two minutes on an "OOM Killer stop job" ..

@TTimo@mastodon.social avatar

@dotstdy @riesi it's also waiting to unmount filesystems that are no longer available with the vpn down .. yeah I should look for the configs and turn all those timeouts way down rather than complaining :)

Also I don't reboot quite often enough for it to be really annoying. Just time to get up and stretch out.

tfw when you didn't decide on the CamelCase naming of a variable, and when you try to compile you have 2 or 3 variants of the spelling all over ..

CS2 Linux is .. OUT!

Like Dota 2 a few months back, this release is using the 'sniper' linux runtime.

Ouch, so frustrating. Diagnosing and fixing github over https authentication problems is the worst. Typically after you clone a public repo and it'll never let you use your write access for push afterwards.

is now shipping on the 'sniper' runtime. Big changes behind the scenes ..

It's the first game to upgrade, with newer compiler and runtime libraries for improved performance and compatibility.

So say - if I was going to try and de-google my email hosting (custom domain), what would you recommend I look at?

I see some people mention "it passed QA checks" in reference to the xv backdoor .. You have no idea how the sausage is made, do you?

Even if someone casually looked at the particular commit (I doubt anyone did), that one line edit in the build script looks just like any od the other autotools garbage.

PSA - If your Steam Deck or Steam on Linux has started failing to download or launch Proton games, you may have caught a bad config from Valve's servers.

We believe the problem is fixed now, but you need to delete a cache file locally (~/.steam/steam/userdata/&lt;steamid&gt;/config/compat.vdf where <steamid> is your id).

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10846 for details.

Default OOM killer behavior on Linux: I start a build, and it kills slack and discord. Technically correct.
