Ironically Marvel Cosmic Invasion came out December 1st and it’s a very solid sidescrolling beat em up

If you’re confident that your system is compromised and it persists beyond re-installations, you can try to reduce the attack surface by switching up your setup a bit.
-
Try installing something like OpenBSD or FreeBSD if your hardware is supported. Software made for Linux often doesn’t even work on BSD flavors unless it’s recompiled specifically for those Operating Systems. Another alternative would be Alpine Linux. Software that relies on
glibcoften doesn’t work on Alpine thanks tomusl. -
If your network has been compromised, consider looking into your router’s settings. If you can, try to setup OPNSense so you have better control and visibility over network traffic. You can setup some pretty extensive firewall rules, and if you’re savvy with
pfyou can really go all out. Alternatively, you can setup an app like Wireshark to take a look at what ingress and egress traffic looks like for your device.
None of this has to be permanent unless you’re comfortable with a different setup. Hackers will eventually get bored and move on. You just need to outlast them with a setup they can’t do much with.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Has anybody been able to successfully selfhost a 2009scape server?
10 monthsSure. I wrote the docker-compose file in the repository. Unless something major has changed, it should be pretty straightforward to just clone the repo and then run
$ docker compose up

Gaming@beehaw.org•Young Americans Are Spending A Whole Lot Less On Video Games This Year
1 yearI mean yeah. Games are getting more expensive and we’re not making more money to be able to afford them. Compound that with inflation of other more crucial goods (groceries, hygiene products, gas, etc.). It feels like anyone could’ve seen this coming lol.

Linux@programming.dev•Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging
1 yearThey have individual people maintaining over a thousand flatpacks.
I don’t believe this to be the case with Flathub, only the Fedora repo. I’m asking about the wider flatpak ecosystem, not the fedora-specific repo or how it’s setup.
Additionally, if you go to install the real flatpack, Fedora pushes you to use their poorly-maintained unofficial one instead.
I’d agree that seems like a needless hoop at the very least, but my concern is more to do with the growing trend to shit on Flatpaks as an ecosystem, not just this particular instance of Fedora head-assery.
I think it’s decent software and has really solid use-cases, far from unreliable shit at least in my own anecdotal experience. But my experience is limited, which was why I asked the OP to elaborate on actual flaws they see with the Flatpak ecosystem.

Linux@programming.dev•Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging
1 yearcause they’re honestly pretty shit and known to be unreliable.
Can you elaborate here? I’ve had very few issues with Flatpaks and the documentation is pretty thorough. I’m curious what wider issues it has to make the whole ecosystem “pretty shit” and unreliable.

Programming@programming.dev•Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?
1 yearNah. When I’m using Zed it’s typically for Elixir/Erlang and I’m usually run debugging tools outside of Zed in a separate shell. When I’m using
iexand/orobserverI like to use a full screen terminal on a separate workspace/tab than the editor itself

Programming@programming.dev•Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?
1 yearDepends on what device I’m using. On my tower(s), I’m typically reaching for Rider, Pycharm, or Zed. On my laptop(s) it’s pretty much always Helix or Zed. On servers it’s vim 100% baby. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable working with theses tools, so I haven’t really needed to look into alternatives at all.

Programming@programming.dev•Little frustrated with Github, gpg keys, access tokens and correct setup
1 yearIn my work organization, we don’t allow pushes from users that have not signed their commits. We also frequently make use of
git blamealong withgit verify-commit. For this reason, we have most new developers at any level create a GPG key and add it to their GitHub profile shortly after they join or organization. We’re a medium-sized FinTech organization though, so it’s very important we keep track of who is touching what.That said, I can’t see it being all that important to an individual unless they’re very security-focused. For me personally, I have multiple yubikeys and one is meant specifically for SSH authentication and GPG operations including signing commits. Since I use NixOS and
home-manager, I use theprograms.gitmodule to setup automatic signing and key selection. I really haven’t touched it at all in years now. It was very “set it and forget it” for me.
First result of a search:
Gitorious was a free and open source web application for hosting collaborative free and open-source software development projects using Git revision control. Although it was freely available to be downloaded and installed, it was written primarily as the basis for the Gitorious shared web hosting service at gitorious.org, until it was acquired by GitLab in 2015.
No particular order to these.
- A full XFCE release with wayland support
- HDR on DEs other than Plasma
- More support for Snapdragon X laptops and ARM64 platforms
- NVK support for Maxwell GPUs
Interesting read. Wish I would’ve found it years ago when I started my first DevOps gig. The company used AWS and CloudFormation (YAML, not JSON) quite a bit along with Ansible. The things I saw in that hellscape were brutal.
These are a few I’ve played over the years and really enjoyed. I think most are still available, but some are unfortunately only distributed via discord servers.
No particular order to these:
- Pokemon Prism - A very in-depth mod of Pokemon Crystal with 2 entirely new regions and a large catalog of Pokemon from multiple generations to capture. To my knowledge, it is a successor to Pokemon Brown
- Pokemon Brown - A very in-depth mod of Pokemon Red. This was made 2 decades ago, and was the first mod I ever played. Includes a new region and many Pokemon from different generations.
- Polished Crystal - A faithful (or not) upgrade to Pokemon Crystal.
- Pokemon Crystal Clear - A mod of Pokemon Crystal that brings in many new features and vastly upgrades the AI.
- Pokemon RedStar/BlueStar - A mod of Pokemon Red/Blue that includes the SpaceWorld 1997 assets.
- Pokemon Crystal Kaizo - A mod of Pokemon Crystal that adds in much better AI and a fair bit more difficulty. All Gen 2 Pokemon can be captured and just about every trainer presents a new level of difficulty.
- Altered Emerald - A massive mod of Pokemon Emerald that adds “(almost) every move and ability from gen 1 to 7” along with a few extras while making all 386 Gen 3 Pokemon capturable.
Edit: Just realized this wasn’t strictly Pokemon mods… Oops lol.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 29th
2 yearsCult of the Lamb - Got this for my birthday from my buddy and it’s been very solid. I see why the reviews hype this game up; it’s a weird rpg with base building elements and that’s right up my alley. I’ve been playing it on the steam deck with a conservative power profile and it’s been a lot of fun.
Tactics Ogre Reborn - I’m a FF Tactics fan and I was told this game would scratch the itch. So far I can say it’s at got a captivating story. It’s great that my choices matter in this game and that character development is based on those choices. The gameplay is familiar and fluid. The AI also seems to scale well with the difficulty setting. I’d say fans of FF Tactics should definitely pick this up.
Here’s my top 8 in no particular order
- Golden Sun / The Lost Age
- Drill Dozer
- Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland
- Summon Night Swordcraft Story 1/2
- Mega Man Battle Network 3, 5, and 6 (either flavor of each is good)
- Mother 3
- Astro Boy Omega Factor
- Sonic Battle
You should give Squadron 42 a shot on one of their Free Weekends. It’s pretty close to Elite as far as flight mechanics and maneuvering goes and a lot more forgiving about getting the parts you want in your ship. It’s pretty jank on foot though. Not sure if that’s a dealbreaker.







It also lacks reminders, alerts, and notifications. I really wanted to like it when I tried it out, but this was a huge deal breaker for me.
