i think it's really, really bad that the most viable way for most websites to defend against attacks nowadays is to have a single company that hosts/defends/funds harassment groups/fascists and provides services to booters who do these kinds of attacks for payment act as a middleman to your server

i feel like not enough people talk about how the gba already had a relatively active homebrew/emulation scene before the console even launched in japan
did you know that you can link oppo and oneplus (the smartphone brands) back to "educational computer" famiclones
i'd better see konqi doing a 67 on my timeline on June 16

dear distro package maintainers: when packaging libvips, please ensure that you are marking cgif as a dependency and not giflib
libvips doesn't use giflib! it uses cgif and a vendored libnsgif for handling the format!! you are shipping a package with broken gif encoding support!!!!

i think it's awesome actually how i have a system that can only boot from hard disk or floppy where both hard disk access and the floppy drive are broken

am i missing something or does apple provide an HTTP client out of the box for swift on their platforms - but not a DNS client

there's still some stuff missing in that converter but, like
it's published. it successfully accomplished the goal i set out to reach with it

no wonder i haven't been able to bring myself to play any games or start the projects i really want to do or treat myself to anything substantial or ask to get with anyone or learn any new skills or watch any movies/tv or
i'm a bit curious whether or not anyone has experimented with using a custom index with searxng, since it has support for querying various "offline" providers (e.g. postgresql, elasticsearch, valkey, cli scripts) alongside remote search engines
Replying to
there's definitely stuff i miss coming from vscode/codium though, particularly the lack of certain git functionality like cherry picking and merging branches (though i very much appreciate how it integrates certain gitlens features like inline blames and commit graphs)

(in case it isn't clear here, this is effectively a test of a custom load routine; i'm not using any of the BIOS routines for disk loading except for what's necessary to start the program)

(note: this is specifically when using mini displayport to connect, hdmi works fine)

i doubt it; the vertical writes could be caused by something setting that bit on $2000, but the actual code for that part looks correct (it works fine when using an fdskey on the same system)
i feel like this isn't being caused by any of my code, but rather garbage data from the disk
Replying to
@rpgwaiter@based.zone i have an fdskey that i use as a drive emulator with a real famicom and RAM adapter in most cases; to test with a real disk, i load a copier program from there, load a .fds file from an sd card, disconnect the RAM adapter cable after it's copied the data to system memory, and connect it to the actual drive to finish the job
i can then load whatever was in that .fds file using a real disk
Replying to
i'm aware there were some issues with this at original launch, but it's my understanding that these issues were supposedly fixed with a driver update nearly a decade ago
i've also tried updating the card's displayport firmware to no success
Replying to
@scudo yes they released an official windows 8 port on the windows store back in the day, i played it a fair bit

@chaekyung@ieji.de @antimundo@mastodon.gamedev.place fwiw laravel has existed for many years before the current boom and is arguably the most popular/well-known php framework, but yeah everything else around this isn't great

this is a quite modern (released in the last decade) system playing back chiptunes on a 30 year old PCI sound card with an OPL3-based FM synthesis core inside
