Yeah by “do whatever you like” I mean install MO2, edit the registry, run dyndolod, mess around with system dlls, whatever. One thing I’ve just learned about that might be useful: https://github.com/SulfurNitride/NaK

The “immutable” thing shouldn’t be a problem I’d think. Games installed through e.g. steam aren’t affected by that — it just does its own thing creating a wine prefix for the game somewhere in your home directory. You should be free to do whatever you like in there.

If that thought seems novel to you, your homework for this weekend is to watch a few Jackie Chan movies.

“What’s up?” It’s the direction in space opposite to the local gravitational field, why are you asking me?

Look out! He’s got a whole bag full of ninja throwing triangles!

date -r reports current date instead of date specified by reference file

Seems like it was not simply a “difference compared to GNU coreutils” — it was just giving completely the wrong date.

Reading more carefully I see that the real reason is "the /run directory is created as a tmpfs filesystem specifically for run-time files by systemd-tmpfiles.

I forgot that systemd had been allowed to take over /tmp and /run.

Why on earth would the permissions on /var/lock be something for systemd to decide?

Sure they’re utterly boring and stupid now, but just wait until next year when Sirius Cybernetics finally launches its Genuine People Personalities models.

Generate Random Numbers

I prefer to generate random words (mostly for generating passwords):

alias randword='head -$[$SRANDOM % `wc -l /usr/share/dict/words | cut -f1 -d" "`] /usr/share/dict/words | tail -1'

You can adjust the dpi setting in winecfg to fix the font size, but in recent beta versions of proton I find it necessary to set it back to the default (and restart wine) to actually play the game.

There was one fairly popular fo4 mod that didn’t work for me, but the only skyrim one I found that seemed to have a problem with linux was nemesis, and that has now been replaced with pandora. All the other thousand or so mods I tried (currently using 600 or so) seem to work about as well as they do for anyone else.

MO2 runs just fine for me. I don’t actually use it for Skyrim — I do that all manually — but it worked for e.g. Fallout 4 without me doing anything special. I just ran its installer the same way I’d run skse64_loader.exe using the same prefix as the game.

There are some ex-smokers who claim that they never enjoyed it. Then there are some who go on to claim that nobody ever does. The former, I can believe.

Hi future kids! If you tracked down this account you probably either work for the NSA or you’re a super-talented hacker. So I’m either very proud of you or very disappointed.

Not bad considering it’s only been around for a couple of years.

This looks a lot like they’re just trying to squeeze a bit more public relations juice out of last year’s news.

Holding on to unshakable belief in the most outlandish lies you’ve been told, always the best way to prove that you’re a strong independent thinker who won’t give in to outside influence.

Hooba-dooba-dooba!

Sounds pretty good tbh. Peaceful, secure, quiet, lots of trees, low taxes.
