@hellomiakoda @edolnx Check the SMART values of the drives, this could indicate drive issues.

The most important things first: we’re safe.

In today’s episode of „things I don’t need to experience again“: a wildfire just about 15km away.

@GreenSkyOverMe "Iiih, ein Ball!"

TIL: japanese train stations have... live streams. On YouTube.

Yay, video issues on the Pi 500 are gone!

During the update from Debian 12 to 13, something went wrong with the X11 and Wayland configuration, so I was running a weird "hybrid".

Selecting wayland again in raspi-config and rebooting works, now OpenGL performance is as expected!

meow.

The only thing that can save Firefox is a hard fork without Mozilla's involvement.

Remember how LibreOffice saved OpenOffice?

@hellomiakoda The good thing: This is something that using wayland probably won't fix.

@hellomiakoda is this the "original" DOSBox 0.74 or one of the modern forks (DOSBox-X, -staging)?

IIRC the old one still relies on SDL1. which is not aware of multiple screens.

@hellomiakoda Wayland is just an unnecessary solution to a problem that never existed. 😁

Yes, 86Box 5.0 supports the SafeDisc copy protection for CUE/BIN images as well!

How did they do it? Well, they told the emulated drive something about reading errors... correctly.

I'm on a mission to save one of my childhood favorites from getting lost to time. We know what's going wrong. And we know how to fix it.

After more than 20 years, "Masters of the Elements" by the Dutch studio IJsfontein is working again! Natively. On Windows 11.

But I'm not entirely done yet.

Sometimes when I have an idea for a new blog post, the hardest part is to actually get started, finding the right introduction and such.

Dear writers - do you have the same problems and if so, how do you encounter them?

Please #boost!

That's it. I used PowerShell for the first time.

Please don't do the AI thingy, thanks

@captainarcee I probably shouldn't start 1000 things at the same time.

@captainarcee Actually, it is.

Do you want another cliffhanger? Well - things are looking promising! The only constraint right now is... time.

oopsie... I leaked my next article on my blog by accident... And yup, there's an empty RSS entry now.

GREAT.

The Wikipedia page for the ext2 file system (yes, ext2!) claims that the maximum length of a file name is 255 bytes.

Can someone tell if this includes the full path or only the fhe file name _itself_?

I truly wonder what the real path limit is...
