    My website officially turns into its 1.1 release! While it doesn't look any different form the last update, I've managed to clean up the backend making things much better for me to add stuff in future updates!

    Kind of deciding on what to add next come to think of it, but for now, I want to try styling my Bear Blog to see if I'm able to make it look just as close as it does to my website. So far, it looks kind of close but not as the same as my website, presumably due to Bear Blog limits

    a bit of me wants to know how adding a rule such as "if you don't have anything to say in a new project other than 'DMCA incoming!!,' then don't interact with the topic" would have this platform running like.

    I think that would be such a good idea fitting in with the "no spam" rule on the site. Getting quite fed up of this shit in the news section. However, this rule would've been broken so many times tbh.

    Replacing my Windows 11 Home on my HP Elitebook 840 G1 with Windows 11 IOT Ltsc after remembering the amazing free space that I had on my Gaming PC. Edge hasn't forced itself back onto either of my systems with it on there

    Now with the MacBook Neo selling, I wonder what Microsoft is doing to add to the competition. I also want to know how it's doing on the Linux side of things, with stuff like Framework.

    Didn’t Microsoft already try something similar with the Surface Go? I have the Go 4 and it’s pretty solid, though I could certainly imagine an ARM Surface Go would really do well. Go full circle for the Surface line lol

    This is an interesting question that I like to know about: if you were to state or people would have found what your programming to have LLM contents inside of this, would you not get the developer role? or you can?

    An LLM can just reorganize stuff it has seen. A few weeks ago I asked Proton Lumo to help me building a Bash script that can be the basis of a DPM scanner for measuring data density on optical discs. To my knowledge there still is no open source implementation.

    It gave me an sg_raw command with syntax errors, but crafted a little loop that reads single sectors from CDs measuring the needed time once the command has been corrected.

    I uploaded the corrected version and asked for command line arguments. Lumo included standard command line arguments in a great way, but dismissed the syntax correction delivering another broken script.

    Then I started trial and error with my script until I found out how to get meaningful timings. Backward, forward, single sectors, larger steps, big jumps putting data into a text file for usage with Gnuplot. Now the output matches data delivered by Alcohol 120% at a given area.

    The LLM performed exceptionally well in including standard features any classic search will bring up ("Bash script command line arguments"). It saved me some time by producing a standard CLI. But it was fundamentally unable to do the creative part, things beyond rehashing existing knowledge.
    Now you decide: did I develop that little script or would you say this is illegitimate?

    LLM allowed me to do some stuff I always wanted to do, but couldn't figure out on my own

    It can be used as a tool in the right hands - so I am not on the 100% hate bandwagon a lot of the community is on

    I can't believe they've managed to get modern Linux distros running on the PlayStation 5. Consideing the power of that system, A bit of me wants to know just how strong the system is compared to the Xbox Series X for instance. Like, with the power that it has, are you able to make all PlayStation consoles work on there via emulation?

    I tried looking it up and I've gotten this. Even though they're stating that AI is becoming better and better, it still has annoying as fuck hiccups like this.

    @DragonMals It seems that there's a custom firmware for 3.55 that re-enables OtherOS, but beyond that from my skillset, there doesn't seem to be anything else. Sony did get sued because it was a requirement to sell the PS3 as a computer to avoid extra costs when importing them, and they broke that trust with the enthusiasts who always needed Linux for tasking.

    A lot of people are praising the year of Linux, but recently, I've been hearing that they've been constantly getting hit with malware attacks lately. The CEMU emulator being one of them! Some of their versions minus the flatpak have been affected by said exploits.

    I guess because so many people are moving to Linux, so are the hidden malware people

    They do get patched very quickly at least.
    It should make it more secure once the exploits are all found.

    Once patches are made available then there wouldn't be such fuss. People are saying that Linux had recently been exploited; well, so does Windows, as well. Doesn't matter which OS you use there's going to be vulnerabilities found or not.

    I'm smiling yet again, I hope that Vins is doing well.

    I don't know if I've been sleeping too much, but has there ever been a front page thread about the DS PicoDrive?

    Thread 'DSpico - An open-source flashcart for the DS(i)'

    banner2.png


    Over the past four years, we - the LNH team - have been working hard on a project that some of you guys may have already heard about: an open-source flashcart that supports the DS, DSi and 3DS (in DSi mode), by the name of DSpico.


    The project evolved from a simple flashcart, to a collection of individual components that work together. Each component has been separated in their own repositories, and can be modified to your liking. Each repository comes with their own README's and documentation.The DSpico project consists of the following components:

    impeeza I was confused by the name, this was exactly what I was looking for. I need to remember that PicoDrive is the Genesis emulator, and DSPico is the modernized flashcart.

    Never have I expected to be hacked on Discord. Thank goodness I caught wind of it just as soon as it started.

    If you only downloaded a soundtrack, you should never had gotten an executable with it. That's a major red flag. Only thing you can do once you get an infostealer is do a complete reinstall of Windows and change your passwords, but if you did that without getting hacked again, then thank god you got it sorted. Sorry to hear about that, DragonMals.

    Reminds me of the good old days when downloading .mp3.exe files off Limewire was a real threat.

    What happened?
    DragonMals
    There was this discord server I used to be in called "All Things Linux." Its a wonderful server that gotten me into Linux, and when I needed help, people who've helped were kinda easily accesible.

    Fast forward to today (or a couple days ago), and the server gotten destroyed, rebuilt, and nuked all cause of the main owner being outed as a pedophile.

    I am really temped to make a blog post on either my website or here on moderation and the way for it to be effective on the long run.
    DragonMals
    can you voluntarily ask the mods to be banned off a section of the forum so that you don't have to ever interact with such

    I remember vins saying to someone or someone saying to someone that they had apart of the forum removed for something I forgot
