INeedMana@piefed.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mirror Instance for Interactable ArchivingEnglish2·1 day agoSorry, I’m not sure:
You don’t know about the mastodon unofficial bots reposting from X (without interaction of person postingon X) and Lemmy unofficial bots and sometimes whole instances following RSS feeds or those somehow don’t fit what you aim for?
INeedMana@piefed.zipto PieFed Meta@piefed.social•What are your ideas to improve PieFed? Vote for your favorites!English1·2 days agoAfter thinking a little bit more about it, would it be possible to add a follow to a mastodon user, as if they were a community?
Kind of similar to how federation to peertube works
- Mastodon user -> community
- A post without a reference up -> PieFed post
- A post referencing another post -> PieFed comment
- boost -> ???
INeedMana@piefed.zipto Linux@programming.dev•Asahi Linux Lead Developer Steps DownEnglish16·4 days agoWe’ve succeeded beyond my dreams. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn’t too bad… Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem.
“Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”
“Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”
INeedMana@piefed.zipto MapMaking - A Map Making community for DND/TTRPG@lemmy.world•How do you map an area with inconsistent curved space?English4·5 days agoCheck out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections
But since this is probably going to be a fictional map, I’d just put on a square grid/hexes that will be used for calculating movement without the projection
If you want to have a hole in the ground, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_line#Elevation_and_depth
Adding lines themselves might be tricky. I think I would rather open the map in GIMP and modify the colour of the area with a mask layer. I guess there should exist some map software where you could just “click and carve” but I haven’t heard of it

EDIT: You’re right. Apparently Lemmy needs 3 spaces before a sub-level, where PieFed is happy with 2

INeedMana@piefed.zipto rpg@ttrpg.network•What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?English1·5 days agoBTW, I think maybe your lists need 4 spaces before the second level, and maybe no newlines between items?
No, those are second level lists (under the numbering), so that’s why are the empty ones. Deleting the sub-listing
__
prefix makes numbering stop, adding additional two doesn’t change anything* thing 1 * thing 1.a * thing 2
- thing 1
- thing 1.a

INeedMana@piefed.zipto Linux@lemmy.ml•Are there any Linux distros that handle updates similarly to FreeBSD and OpenBSD?English1·5 days ago- it partitions same things into separate locations
One library is here, another one is here, some older version there, which one should this binary load? Where should I point the
-L
to? Of course, compiling things completely from scratch is unmaintainable anyway (that’s why PKGBUILD was another big point - it’s easy to create your own AUR packages that will get pacman-level maintainability), but sometimes you want to check if that new patch solves your issue - if distro does not care, the packages will have different prefixes
I can see some use of
/opt
. But it should be my decision if I want something installed in/opt/bin
or/usr/local/bin
. In distros that did not enforce where things are put in, it was all over the place. But to be fair, to me, evenbin
/sbin
separation is bs
- it partitions same things into separate locations

INeedMana@piefed.zipto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play StoreEnglish1·5 days agoBut if the forks are able to tear out the gapps, shouldn’t this “cert” check go with it? I understand that the check would have to be in the installer app. Even if it’s a part of launching mechanism, it should also be possible to tear it out
Linux Phones, are not alternatives.
I’m sorry, I don’t follow. AFAIK GRUB did not need to get some blessing to get installed on UEFI. So Linux Phones should be free of big tech gatekeeping. This exchange we are having here is on technology community, not privacy (where I would get your point)
INeedMana@piefed.zipto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play StoreEnglish2·5 days agoThe way I understand what /e/OS is, it sounds like it should be able to not include this check
INeedMana@piefed.zipto Linux@lemmy.ml•Are there any Linux distros that handle updates similarly to FreeBSD and OpenBSD?English8·5 days agoUnlike Linux, these BSDs have a clear separation of OS from these packages. OS files and data are stored in places like /bin and /etc, while user installed packages get installed to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc.
What do you consider the OS? Is firefox a part of OS? Is office part of OS?
On FreeBSD, the freebsd-update command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg command is used for managing user packages. On OpenBSD, the syspatch command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg_* commands are used for managing user packages.
Personally, the ditching of
/usr/local
mess was one of the selling points of Arch for me, but in a way you could achieve this in Arch. Create a secondary pacman config with RootDir set to /usr/local and aliaspacman --config /etc/pacman_local.conf

INeedMana@piefed.zipto rpg@ttrpg.network•What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?English1·5 days agoOrdered list because some differences can be understood better in relation to others, but then dropping someone new into the deep waters of crunchy games would probably only confuse them
- Knave/MorkBorg/Fireball
Use applicable setting if fantasy is not their thing- get them introduced easily
- show more or less what we are coming from
- to understand later on, what this branch distills to
- Something Gumshoe based
- it needs to be understood that without combat, TTRPGs are not “20 questions” - guess what GM wants you to do
- Blades in the Dark
- show that it can also be very gamified, almost approached like a series episode
- narration doesn’t have to be only in GM’s hands
- Shadowrun/GURPS/Traveller
- crunch games can be heavy to play but offer the most character customization possible
- lore doesn’t have to fit in the rulebook
- SWADE/D&D
- see what kind of games have the crown currently
- Knave/MorkBorg/Fireball
INeedMana@piefed.zipto rpg@ttrpg.network•TTRPGs that have a "small fish in a big pond" feel?English2·5 days agoI have always felt like this playing Warhammer. The stats and hp progression rarely led to being OP, and even if the character had some political clout there has always been some cultist agenda that will sooner erode that edge before you get enough proofs to convince anyone to believe you. Every approach you consider, you can’t be sure of the outcome

So instead of searching after every page load, the search would happen only when the user clicks “check on Lemmy” button in the search bar or in the extensions tray

Has it been included in the trailer somewhere?
I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts
Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)
