Me too! Am I finally part of the cool and hip Lemmy gang now‽

It’s fascinating to me that nobody has yet responded to one of these with:

Luigi, once again delivering us from ghosts and ghouls living in mansions!

Regulation guillotines maybe?

Or maybe they literally one have that one guy/gal installing the railings throughout the entire Republic‽

Great one! (Not just a nice one, a great one even.)

Now get out! Just Get Out!

Okay what the hell did I just read?

From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn’t this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto “fuse” (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?

Except most of those people who don’t know enough to recover most likely also use the default “all your data are belong to OneDrive” and thus won’t lose absolutely everything and no one group of livid people will both be livid enough and big enough at the same time for a lot to change…

So is that the “Zange”? Because you need to go from the things you are holding (the information, in “German”) to the hinge (the literal English translation) and back down again (actual German translation) to understand (aka grasp it)‽

No no! They were talking about the police chili last night! That was some serious ass-suicide this morning …

No don’t listen to them!

Keikaku means cake! (Muffin to be precise, because we got the muffin button!)

Didn’t one of the original devs die and his son “take over” for a last few polishing updates/as a memorial?

Or was that another “small” game series? 🙈

Also that’s literally Sir Primitive Technology on that picture, so you had nothing to worry about even from the start!

Uff this started out for me as being “easy! Minecraft, Factorio and a third one!”

And then quickly and only devolved into an abyss of deliberation…

• Do I take EU4+DLC+Anbennar because then I would finally have an excuse to actually learn and play this damn game? (Plus having base game and Anbennar basically doubles the replayability)
• Do I take VintageStory so I can finally learn to actually play it well and start creating meaningful mods for it?
• Should I take Noita or Caves of Qud? Should they be replacements for DF?
• Is either of Civ V or Civ VI replayable about for me for this much time?

And from there the more basic questions:

• Does any of the three games need to be entertaining enough to basically always run or could/should it suffice to simply rotate between them?
• How much time would I reasonably want to spend playing vs creating?
• Also am I allowed to spend some time basically daydreaming every day (aka the games are meant more to actually keep me sane rather than get people to recommend good games they have given thought and time to?) or should they/would I want them to keep me occupied basically 15/7?

So yeah, Minecraft probably still stands as there are way too many mods and building ideas for it to (probably?) become truly stale in a lifetime!

And Factorio because I still want to actually finish an AB run for once, or a SE run, or … You get the idea. Buut the third slot would likely be a make or break for this whole endeavor and now it’s back to square one again!

Without the creators having any way to patch in even harder endgame content because you got too close to finishing it too!

Okay first of all this message is really nicely written to explain multi collision attacks! (I knew some stuff about hashing and collision attacks before but not about multi collision and why that would be really useful here.)

However, I first thought they were looking for inputs which basically preserve a known state and then generating an alphabet with those kinds of blocks (basically have one for each symbol and up to n additional blocks to “reset” the state to the known value) because that could shrink the size of stored blocks by a lot (I’d imagine).

But now I am wondering if that’s even possible currently (even with an algorithm as “broken” as MD5 has become now)?

Except you already have that update installed, the box is not checked and the entry is still respected, nobody could possibly tell you why because that’s not how it’s supposed to work and everyone else works as stated! And now you have to live with the knowledge that your system is in some unobserved quantum superposition with a critical fix in place which may stop working at any moment for any reason and nobody can tell you how you even managed to get into this situation…

And then there are devs/games like Nolla/Noita which specifically included a nice little message for data miners which asked them to keep all the gained secrets a secret until a certain date with a reward for both them and the community if they did and who would have guessed: they did! And now they are immortalized inside the games credits!

Introversion habe so far pretty much only knocked out well written games afaik!

Too bad I also came too late to the party to buy the source code discs they sold at the end of its lifetime…

And then even when you try to peer behind the definition of “nothing” with math all you are greeted with is infinities which we handily just swept under the rug and pretended to be zero so we could define a “nothing” state in the first place!

This might be a bad place (i.e. post, the community is correct), but looking at the void has got me interested so I wanted to ask: What are the main advantages of using runit compared to systemd? Like I don’t want to know all the differences (of which there are apparently many since people complain about systemd being too “bloated”/spread out over different systems?)

Also in all the “typical” discussion on systemd vs runit plenty of people talked about serious problems with runit and sometimes said something or other about process security? Is that substantiated in any way (as in “yeah technically during the boot process runit could be vulnerable to X if executing an unsafe script while systemd can’t do that because it does Y instead” or is it more like “yeah no, people just claim X when it’s not really possible or systemd also has the same problem, they just don’t talk about it”?)

(Hopefully this doesn’t turn into yet another thread about people bashing each other over this choice since that usually leads to no information being really trustworthy unless one wades through tons of long posts external to the thread…)
