@whitequark BF4 does some minimal version of this - I think it tracks one step in the middle (e.g. is the mag in but not loaded yet) for some weapons, but that is legitimately impressive
Okay so installing bluefin in a VM to test drive it as a post-nixos desktop. First observation, is installation meant to be very slow? Or have I configured this VM hilariously wrong somehow? With 16 cores and 16G RAM it's been crunching through the installer very slowly indeed, when I was hoping for one of those systemd cinematic universe things where you can dd a disk image onto the disk, reboot and then systemd expands and makes filesystems and stuff and you're done?...
@danderson the only thing I can think of is that the installer is single threaded, or your vCPU config is a bit unusual and the OS doesn't know how to use it? I've seen libvirt throw 16 sockets at a VM, and naturally the windows desktop VM wasn't having a bar of it.
Swapping it to cores and threads made the difference
My #ThinkPad A475 has the touchpad/touchpoint device on the PS/2 bus, and whenever the battery dies, my touchpad is no longer recognized in Linux - ANY Linux.
How do I wake up the PS/2 bus in Linux and get my touchpad back?
The only remedy thus far has been to boot to a Windows install ISO.
Anyone know what the little cloth loops you put around a socketed fuse to ease its eventual removal are called? Or where to get them?
Not seeing anything obvious under fuse accessories on Digikey. Feels like the kind of thing you can find a thousand of for a dollar at aliexpress if you know what they're called.
@azonenberg are you talking about something like a pull cord, like some devices have for batteries? Otherwise not sure I've ever seen something like that
Upgrading this raspberry pi to bookworm has been one of the worst Linux upgrades I've done yet other than the fact that it still, miraculously somehow, booted. Apparently, the bookworm keys weren't trusted by buster and somehow it "upgraded" a bunch of stuff to armhpf (32-bit) instead of arm64, resulting in some not fun broken dependencies. It was quite the foot-shoot over all.
I'm generally not a fan of AI but one thing I'd really like that seems like it wouldn't be impossible for a machine learning system to do...
give it a compressed file and an uncompressed file. Generate an algorithm to get from one to another
@foone I have a certain piece of Japanese hardware with full disk encryption, community's found what the key is, cracked the software on it, but not the algo in the chip that does it. Same sort of thing I'd love to "throw" something at and leave it for a while
