Since you are asking on Lemmy: “provider” or “news server” is like the Lemmy instance and “newsgroup” is like the Lemmy community except it’s a shared namespace across all servers that carry the group so sci.physics is sci.physics everywhere.

donio@lemmy.worldto Arch Linux@lemmy.ml•Set environment variable of last successful full sys update datetime2·1 month agoIn the subject you wrote “successful full sys update” but the script and the other suggestions I see so far don’t actually handle the “successful” part.
The log message only tells you that the update was started and the db mtime only indicates that the db was touched without saying anything about success.
I’d go about this by always performing the updates through a wrapper script that could check the exit status of the pacman or yay command and record a timestamp accordingly.

donio@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - March 20253·3 months agoFinally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.
I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won’t have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.
I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn’t end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.
donio@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.world•Fennec This morning, all my addons are disabled??4·3 months agoTo be fair I wouldn’t want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.
donio@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?451·3 months agoUndertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.
My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I’d already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn’t seem all that special. But I figured it out later on…
donio@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Mid game review: Superliminal (2019) PS51·3 months agoI haven’t played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?
I don’t mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

donio@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend generic controllers that work with Linux? [Update2]English71·4 months agoI like my 8bitdo controller but I have an older model so can’t speak for the more recent ones.
donio@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?2·4 months agoOn PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.
On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.
donio@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How can I tell if my GPU is being utilized properly?English4·4 months ago[ 5067.696] (II) Applying OutputClass “AMDgpu” to /dev/dri/card1
Make sure that you actually have permission to that /dev/dri/card1 device. This may be arranged by udev or “video” group membership.
Regarding AMD vs Nvidia, unless you need CUDA you probably made the right choice. This sounds like a config issue and you’d probably be dealing with the same thing with Nvidia too.
donio@lemmy.worldto Board Games@sopuli.xyz•Which boardgame has the most beautiful cards?English2·4 months agoI don’t know about most beautiful but Dale of Merchants and Ascension have some of my favorite card art. I also like Mottainai for it’s aesthetic simplicity.
Hm, yeah I can’t think of any from the top of my head. I guess the site’s format works best for euros and the audience seems to be geared towards that too.
Make sure to check out Yucata.de too. They have about 200 games with some overlaps with BGA. The site UI takes some getting used to and matchmaking is not as well featured as BGA’s but the in-game UI is actually very nice once you grok it and it has an excellent undo/replay/log system.
Some of my Yucata favorites:
- Bonfire
- Carpe Diem
- Cartographers (also on BGA)
- Fields of Arle
- Grand Austria Hotel
- Lorenzo Il Magnifico
- Mottainai
- Mountain Goats (also on BGA)
- Mystic Vale
- Newton
- Rajas of the Ganges
- Rajas Dice
- Red Cathedral
- Renature
- Taverns of Tiefenthal
And I am currently practicing Skymines.
In general, no the site is not open source. There are however some games whose implementation is public under various licenses. A few examples:

donio@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Are there any add-on like "YouTube™ Dual Subtitles", but locally translate subtitle?5·5 months agoSo, this is a more involved approach and it’s not a Firefox add-on but I thought I’d mention it:
https://fnordig.de/til/Machine-Translation/bergamot-subtitles.html
You’d play the YT videos outside the browser using mpv in combination with yt-dlp and an mpv lua script would do the translation locally using the Bergamot engine (which happens to be Mozilla’s translation engine). Could be adapted to use other engines too.
Not sure what’s causing the UI issues but another way to go about this is to create a custom collection and configure your browser to use it. This way you can control what shows up in “recommended”. IIRC you have to use nightly, beta or a custom build like Fennec to allow using a custom collection.
