Hopefully this teaches people there are platforms to upload video other than Yotube.
Oh no by all means do preach. I was just about doing the same about schroot. :p
And, like I said, it's not that I don't like it. It was just too much for the rather small usecase I had back at the time. I'm pretty sure if at some point I move to a distro less featured than Debian Sid I'm gonna have to pay more attention to Flatpak and Nix again.
I basically took the general idea from this Ubuntu doc and made som changes. After installing debootstrap, I followed these general steps:
- set up an user for Steam, with
adduser steam
. - created a directory to host the "virtual machine" at
/var/lib/chroot/steam64
. - used the page linked above to create a schroot profile directory with the chroot data I want.
- used the page linked above to create a schroot profile entry for the chroot, adding
steam
as one of its allowed users. - set up an Ubuntu 18.04 schroot with the following command:
debootstrap --variant=buildd bionic /var/lib/chroot/steam64 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
- on the host, allowed cross-"host" applications to lauch windows with
xhost +local:
. - once completed, entered the schroot as root and added the needed i386 arch and packages for Steam and for bubblewrap / Chrome containerization.
- still in the schroot as root, installed enough packages for a basic graphical environment (basically: a text editor,
xnest
andxterm
; between their dependencies, they'll take care of most of everything). - exited the schroot.
- entered the schroot as
steam
and fired up the Steam launcher manually.
It's not perfect, there are a few issues (in particular with audio) but once I had the installed schroot ready, I never had to worry about its 32-bit packages ever again. And that was back in.... like, 2019 or something. Six months ago I copied to old schroot to my new machine and resumed playing, with no more cost than having to set up the schroot packages and the steam
user (with the same old UID) on the new machine.
Here's a sample of the schroot profile file I'm using. The "steam64.local" is the profile directory, which is basically a copy of schroot/buildd (or of schroot/minbase) with some configurations in fstab
and copyfiles
to account for eg.: isolating /var/run and dbus, and giving the schroot access to the home directory for the steam
user.
Tried Nix once, I liked it but overall found it too complicated to setup and manage for the [counts fingers] three programs I was using it for. Might be worth the while if I need a larger library of programs from Outside, but so far Debian and AppImages have not failed me.
Do they get to stay in the tautology club?
Part of the problem is, sure, that installing an entire arch for a package touches up a lot of stuff... What I did was I set up a debootstrap schroot and added i386 arch to that so that neither they nor Steam touch my main system. Not only did I never have problems with Steam again, but I actually resumed pretty much from what I was when I got a new machine, simply by copying the schroot files over. Didn't even have to install anything (but the schroot serve on my new system itself).
Eh, I prefer my boob processing to be tactile. Juuuust to check.
My understanding is that Matrix is worse than XMPP in basically every way.
Signal is unfortunately as vulnerable to this as Telegram is, as it is a fully centralized service so once the CEO is grabbed is Game Over. Something like jabber / XMPP would be better.
So wait, Apple effectively mandates that users of their store lie to their users? Wonder if that's something that can be tackled legally.
And that's why IMO the project should ensmallened. Instead of trying to catch up to everything bloatware internet and Google are doing, Neo Firefox / Neo Mozilla could instead focus on developing a subset that's lean and safe to use (no JS, for example) or even promote and offer first-class support to alternative internets like Gemini (the actual one, not Google's namesquat).
There are still versions of Opera with their own original engine going around.
Damn, Presto should return. That thing could load like 300 tabs in like 30, maybe 60 MB RAM tops.

Hey, it works wonders for Python.
I mean, you can even suicide on water (inb4 dihydrogen monoxide memes). This is just normal biology of a normal thing in the world.
Heck, forget water: you can even suicide on the ground below your feet. It's just usually lots more work.
Eh, at least beats the Trump mpreg.
Is this new work of art in AO3 yet?

Just about the title question. Google has now legally been declared a monopoly so they no longer have a reason to be paying Mozilla. And Mozilla never had to slut themselves (and us) for Google in the first place.
I'll make my thesis about the methodology issues in that one!
So now Mozilla can stop receiving their hush money, right?
if it’s a superior system, then it’ll become the new standard
Not even remotely close to how it works. Remember: we had pulseaudio as the "new standard" for a decent while.
Only after the researchers tried a Bayesian analysis
If I remember my college classes right, this basically means "we invented data to fit the curve we want", right?
Half serious question because I've been browsing this for a while, but, is this /c/ really about Linux gaming? Most if not every post is about Steam, Proton, Windows games, and Windows game companies. Feels more like /c/windowsgamingonlinux to me, which I'm not contra to but, I feel it deprives some naming space (good names are finite!) from something like... well, native Linux games.
Could help if there was a way to tag posts that are not really about games for Linux.
Los eventos climáticos e hidrológicos de estas últimas semanas me recuerdan una triste realidad de este país, que es lo ignorado que ha sido el aspecto hidrológico del medioambiente a la hora de la construcción y urbanización. Y, por supuesto, pic related.
Dejo el espacio para pensamientos al respecto.
