  • What's your favourite "I have to do what you told me, but not in the way you wanted" story?

    Jump

  • Part is still waiting to happen

    Our characters were hired in the past to extract the country-level head of security of one of AAA corps. After they did that, in "wishes and stars", one of the players expressed that it would be cool if things they get in contact with would come back later

    So in close future they will be hired to extract him from a secure train and in doing so they most probably will (unless the decide to fail that mission) antagonize their fixer, which just so happens to be Lofwyr - a great dragon that is the owner of another AAA corp

    And the plan is that in beat climax run the samurai will meet a heavy modified clone of the guy, that is bodyguard of continent-level CEO of the first corp

    The further plan is, that after that beat, this arch will try to explore the reality when cloning is possible.
    I'm sure they'll be thrilled to meet the first guy again :)

  • What is it?
    From one of the projects

    Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.

    So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?

  • Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs

  • I setup a Mastodon relay - anyone want to help me test?

    Jump

  • What is a Mastodon relay?

  • Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs

    Jump

  • DID as a permanent, global ID you own, independent of any server

    So there would have to be another server, hosting my identity? Would identities somehow be federated between identity instances?

  • Mirror Instance for Interactable Archiving

    Jump

  • Maybe you need to wait a bit for federation to kick in?

    I don't have links at hand, but from some other questions I know that federation is not "download everything the moment someone looks at another instance". Basically follow something and wait until some new content appears on origin instance. If after that you don't see the content federated, then it's time to start asking around

  • [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users?

    Jump

  • I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts

    Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)

  • Mirror Instance for Interactable Archiving

    Jump

  • Sorry, I'm not sure:
    You don't know about the mastodon unofficial bots reposting from X (without interaction of person postingon X) and Lemmy unofficial bots and sometimes whole instances following RSS feeds or those somehow don't fit what you aim for?

  • What are your ideas to improve PieFed? Vote for your favorites!

    Jump

  • After thinking a little bit more about it, would it be possible to add a follow to a mastodon user, as if they were a community?

    Kind of similar to how federation to peertube works

    • Mastodon user -> community
    • A post without a reference up -> PieFed post
    • A post referencing another post -> PieFed comment
    • boost -> ???

  • Asahi Linux Lead Developer Steps Down

    Jump

  • We’ve succeeded beyond my dreams. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn’t too bad… Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem.

    "Excellent!" the Prince exclaimed. "Your technique is faultless!"

    "Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I follow is Tao -- beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off."

  • What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?

  • Huh. What are you viewing with?

    1. test

    EDIT: You're right. Apparently Lemmy needs 3 spaces before a sub-level, where PieFed is happy with 2

    Jump

  • BTW, I think maybe your lists need 4 spaces before the second level, and maybe no newlines between items?

    No, those are second level lists (under the numbering), so that's why are the empty ones. Deleting the sub-listing __ prefix makes numbering stop, adding additional two doesn't change anything

  * thing 1.a

    • thing 1
      • thing 1.a

  • Are there any Linux distros that handle updates similarly to FreeBSD and OpenBSD?

    Jump
    1. it partitions same things into separate locations One library is here, another one is here, some older version there, which one should this binary load? Where should I point the -L to? Of course, compiling things completely from scratch is unmaintainable anyway (that's why PKGBUILD was another big point - it's easy to create your own AUR packages that will get pacman-level maintainability), but sometimes you want to check if that new patch solves your issue
    2. if distro does not care, the packages will have different prefixes I can see some use of /opt. But it should be my decision if I want something installed in /opt/bin or /usr/local/bin. In distros that did not enforce where things are put in, it was all over the place. But to be fair, to me, even bin/sbin separation is bs

  • Are there any Linux distros that handle updates similarly to FreeBSD and OpenBSD?

    Jump

  • Unlike Linux, these BSDs have a clear separation of OS from these packages. OS files and data are stored in places like /bin and /etc, while user installed packages get installed to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc.

    What do you consider the OS? Is firefox a part of OS? Is office part of OS?

    On FreeBSD, the freebsd-update command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg command is used for managing user packages. On OpenBSD, the syspatch command is used for upgrading the OS and the pkg_* commands are used for managing user packages.

    Personally, the ditching of /usr/local mess was one of the selling points of Arch for me, but in a way you could achieve this in Arch. Create a secondary pacman config with RootDir set to /usr/local and alias pacman --config /etc/pacman_local.conf as pkg_pacman

    Jump

  • Ordered list because some differences can be understood better in relation to others, but then dropping someone new into the deep waters of crunchy games would probably only confuse them

    1. Knave/MorkBorg/Fireball
      Use applicable setting if fantasy is not their thing
      • get them introduced easily
      • show more or less what we are coming from
      • to understand later on, what this branch distills to
    2. Something Gumshoe based
      • it needs to be understood that without combat, TTRPGs are not "20 questions" - guess what GM wants you to do
    3. Blades in the Dark
      • show that it can also be very gamified, almost approached like a series episode
      • narration doesn't have to be only in GM's hands
    4. Shadowrun/GURPS/Traveller
      • crunch games can be heavy to play but offer the most character customization possible
      • lore doesn't have to fit in the rulebook
    5. SWADE/D&D
      • see what kind of games have the crown currently

  • TTRPGs that have a "small fish in a big pond" feel?

    Jump

  • I have always felt like this playing Warhammer. The stats and hp progression rarely led to being OP, and even if the character had some political clout there has always been some cultist agenda that will sooner erode that edge before you get enough proofs to convince anyone to believe you. Every approach you consider, you can't be sure of the outcome

  • I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration - Now with standalone FF extension.

  • @rozodru@lemmy.world

    How about a button? So instead of searching after every page load, the search would happen only when the user clicks "check on Lemmy" button in the search bar or in the extensions tray

  • Token help?

    Jump

  • If you don't want a generated image, pick a "base" from itch or dtrpg or some patreon creator token pack, make a copy and apply the tentacles in GIMP. It doesn't need to be photo-realistic, only needs to be recognizable and spark imagination
