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

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/<steamid>/config/compat.vdf where <steamid> is your id).

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ..

Hot take: yes, google is evil but imo the whole thing about slowing down FireFox is so obvious and dumb that I can't assume it's malicious or intentional.

CS2 Linux is .. OUT!

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

I pushed what I have for Quake 2 remastered support in GtkRadiant and wrote a short blurb about it: https://ttimo.typepad.com/blog/2023/08/quake-2-remastered-support-in-gtkradiant.html

#dota2 #linux is now shipping on the 'sniper' runtime. Big changes behind the scenes ..

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