I hope this isn't bad news for the OpenTTD project.

I'll gift a copy to my wife. She could, of course, just play it on my Steam account, but the game is so good that I just want to show the devs some extra support.

Quoting: Mountain ManIt's about time we rechristened anti-cheat to anti-Linux.

Be careful what you wish for - there are some very loud Windows fanboys that would then start demanding Anti-Cheat in everything.

Today I am too tired, but this sounds like the next game I'm going to (try to) install on my ARM laptop.

Quoting: aidalgolAs a bonus for Rust lovers, the Rust bindings [External Link] look actually good this time around! (Disclaimer: I have no idea whether that crate is official.)

I haven't looked at the SDL3 bindings yet, but the SDL2 bindings looked pretty good to me too (except for that one bug with setting the music-finished callback, that I still need to make a PR for...).

And that is why I don't understand why anyone in their right mind would run cups-browsed. The (tiny) convenience benefit it offers is not worth it.

To quote the blog post:

Disable and remove the cups-browsed service if you don’t need it (and probably you don’t).

The other recommendation is also something that I have been wondering about basically ever since those services were introduced:

I’m also removing every zeroconf / avahi / bonjour listener.

That stuff is nearly useless and increases attack surface.

Without knowing anything about the game:
Let me guess, Unreal Engine?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYou know, 20, maybe even 10 years ago I might have gotten into this. But these days I just wouldn't have the heart--not that I think nobody should be making such games, but for me personally, even pretending to be an oil producer would just make me itch.

I feel the same. I already had a bit of a guilty conscience playing it back when it was released...

Once I had actually started playing, I found myself enjoying the gameplay a lot though. I just needed to remind myself from time to time that it's just a game, and that drilling for virtual oil won't pollute the real air any more than playing any other game.

So I think I will buy the DLC once they release it on GoG.

And with perfect timing too. Autumn is around the corner, and this game has the perfect mood for shutting all doors and windows, turning up the heating, and drinking a hot cup of tea.

Quoting: Claude_LibI have Windows on a separate drive for rare occasions when I need it. The only clue two systems have about each other's existence is that Windows messes up the clock because I keep forgetting to set the RealTimeIsUniversal registry key.

This update might break exactly such setups. The list of revoked keys is stored in an EFI variable (-> mainboard memory), and if Windows is unaware that there is a Linux installation, it will happily update that list - making Secure Boot prevent the execution of GRUB versions signed with the now-revoked keys.
