Quoting: WorMzySomeone needs to tell "Longhorn" about grep -i. >_>

I was thinking the same thing! :)
Given he's a "Kernel/hypervisor engineer", that ugly use of the cli makes me wonder about the quality of their code...

Am I missing something? No idea why `grep -i` directly would be better than using `strings` first. The former would print all *lines* matching the regex which is absolutely less useful, especially in a binary context where "lines" are just bytestrings that happen to be delimited by a 0xA byte. So the output would also be less useful due to the whole line being matched. You could change that using the `grep -o` option but that's GNU only. Further, this is probably even more efficient, since grep matching potentially huge lines is not a good starting point.

So this is actually the way to go: Converting a binary into a text "file" (a list of strings) and then using a text tool to work on this further. That's what pipelines are for.

They're referring to the first three lines, where the person on twitter tried different spellings for DXVK (Dxvk, dxvk, DXVK), which could've been handled by `-i`.

And here is me, contemplating when to get a new card in the ~200 watts, 400-500 Euros region.

Quoting: michaAnyone else getting greeted by Missing Executable:
 
Steam/steamapps/common/Vampire Survivors/launcher.sh
?

Forcing Proton (tried Experimental, 7, and 6) I get greeted by an io exception. Same my Arch and my Fedora notebook.

Well, at least it works great on my Steam Deck. :wink:

Had this on first start as well. But forcing 7.0-4 made it work for me.

On a slightly tangential note, this [External Link] is a long but very interesting article about the sh*t-show that is ABI-compatibility in C(++)-land (reminder: the languages of choice for many games). There are a couple other similar articles on that blog (1 [External Link], 2 [External Link]), also very enjoyable if you have the time to spare.

Quoting: notmrflibbleIt still needs systemd and is therefore still incompatible with Devuan. I still won't be using it.

GameMode also supports elogind which is how Void Linux provides the package.

Quoting: Doc AngeloThe meaning of the terms around "artificial intelligence" are weird

"Machine Learning" is a huge pile of buzzword/b*llsh*t bingo. That's just how it is.

sigh, no it isnt.
go learn how it work and what is possible with it, you have no idea what you're talking about.

on a side note, i can agree that the term "learn" is miss leading, its like calling an AI an inteligent system, as if the machine could "think", that i agree , its bullshit.

I'm strictly speaking about the rhetoric used around ML, to be fair that wasn't clear in my comment. What's coming from that field in terms of results is impressive at times.

As you seem to be knowledgeable about the topic, how far has it come on the "explainability"? Last time I dived deeper into ML (like a couple years ago) the "why" was pretty sketchy (coming from a more classic statistical modelling POV) and there was that whole issue about decisions made with these models no one could really understand (like ML-based credit ratings). I know there have been some advancements, but I'm not following ML closely. But I'm watching the occasional talk in academia about ML being used for some specific problem and that didn't bode well for the answer.

I love shortening things!

You might like `cp -b eldenring.exe start_protected_game.exe` then.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumSadly.. due to my usage case, while Linux apps do a perfect job of ripping audio, the log files produced are not satisfactory.. let's just say it's for "not linux's fault" reasons and not entirely down to my own decision.

Fair point. I'm not using those files personally, but remembered I saw them in my rip folders.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumOooh. This looks interesting!

Might be able to remove "PlayOnLinux" and replace it with this, which ironically these days I only use for one application, EAC which I require for putting my CDs on my computer (due to logs, cue file and such.. I just like a clean copy)

Not exactly on topic, but did you try whipper as an alternative? I've been using it for my CD collection and it usually works just fine. It checks the rips against the musicbrainz database and pulls other metadata from there as well. I know that some people swear by EAC, but maybe this works for you.
