They have definitely convinced me to never buy anything they make. I have too many other games in my library, so they can just piss right off.

Yup. I put in a ticket with Rockstar and here is their official reply. TLDR: Fuck off.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.

We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.

Best regards,

M______. Rockstar Support

So I guess those of us who would just go to a friend only server immediately upon starting the game, are fucked now if we are using linux. What a bunch of shit.

You don’t think I got this rich by writing checks, do you?

Secondly, I’d attempt to write a bash script to walk a directory tree, cat out files, pipe it through grep and get every instance where VirtualBox is mentioned in a file. Trying the name of proccess, or of the executable too.

Move to the top of the tree you want to search and do something like this:

find . -type f -exec grep -iH “virtualboxexecutable” {} ;

That will give you what you want without the need for a script. -type f makes the find command only search files, and -exec has it run the grep command on any files it returns with -iH giving you case insensitive results showing you the file it’s found in. Substitute ‘virtualboxexecutable’ with whatever the process name is that is being run. If you want to ignore binary files, the add in "| grep -iv “binary file matches” to the command. That will strip out any results where it has searched a binary file.

Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below?

I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

Same. I also have an old Backbox distro that I used daily for years and every once in a while fire it back up for shits and giggles.

It doesn’t seem to make my fan go nuts. I have been playing it for a while on the deck and can’t recall that issue.

GTA V. I mapped the top right to hold down the trigger for flying helicopters, or when I don’t want to let off the gas in a car. Bottom right releases it. I use this when I am hauling stuff with the cargobob so I don’t have to keep my hand on the trigger which can be painful after a while. I use them in Valheim to do things like repair when I am at a crafting table. I really like having them and how programmable they are.

FYI, you don’t need to either on linux. Look up sudo.

Maybe a little primitive, but I copy my .bash_history file to a folder with a dated name every afternoon using a cron job. Then I can just grep that for commands I know I ran in the past. ‘sort -fu’ will remove the duplicates in the results.

Well I think neither of the numbers mean much since in my opinion a majority of those games on both systems are just slop. So the numbers of available games is irrelevant to anything to me. It would be like stating or bragging about how many words can be made from the alphabet.

Same here. My Dad has been using Mint for years now, and wouldn’t know what to do in the command line. He gets on, does what he needs to do, and it just works for him.

I will take a look, thanks! And I got a huge ad right at the top of the page, how apropos.

There used to be lynx. Oh look, it’s still being maintained. Not sure how well it works though, might have to try it out:

https://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/

And so it begins!

Well damn. Isn’t that just ripe.

Not sure if you can use rust to write browser plugins, but I really want a plugin that when you right click a link, you have to option to open the link with javascript disabled. Chrome or Firefox.

Set up a cron job to run every hour that deletes them if they are older than 60 mins. Eg:
0 * * * * find /var/tmp -type d -mmin +60 -exec rm -rf {} ;
