Academy has been good so far, way lower stakes, but you have to get past the first ten minutes of episode one. It sets up the main plot, but it's way more... Discovery style bad shit happening and baseless action, than the rest of the show. IMO they should have filled it in as backstory later in the ep, after they'd established more of a tone, but otherwise it gets good quick.

I have a giant FLAC collection and I sometimes wish I could use these local players because I used Winamp/XMMS/quod libet back in the day, but I feel like I just can't give up consistent access from outside the house.

I ran Tauon for a while (and have run a few of the others over the years) but I always end up back at my Airsonic setup. Works in any browser, works in a few different Android apps (Subsonic compatible), less of a pain than mpd.

Maybe it'd be different if I was still sitting in front of my computer virtually all the time, but nowadays phone to Bluetooth speaker/car/Chromecast is like 90% of my listening.

Basically, the executing thread might get interrupted in a window of code where the interrupt flags are wrong. Not looking at the specifics, but this could lead to various things from mostly harmless (e.g. potentially holding a lock for many times longer than expected but eventually releasing it) to program crashing (e.g. if taking an interrupt while handling the fault leaves the data structures in an inconsistent state).

This is likely the first one, since it was missed for so long in a very well exercised piece of code.

Are you running the native version or through Proton? When I played Civ VI the Linux native version performed worse than using Proton, ironically. Either way, maybe try switching?

Since you specified multiplayer I'm guessing it's not time to load from disk or anything.

For ancient stuff, maybe, but AMD is also active in enabling new stuff in the kernel and userspace. AMD basically invented Vulkan, and have had the best open source driver stack for years at this point.

I love what Valve has done for Linux, but it's the last mile of track at the end of huge amounts of outside work enabling the hardware to work in the first place.

As lime mentions, look at swap. The Mint installer should have suggested it, but if not it's pretty easy to setup after the fact (just use a swap file instead of a partition). Windows does this as well and it should pretty clearly deal with OOM.

Coral Island has a platinum rating on ProtonDB so it should be absolutely no sweat to run if you have the resources.

I'm with you for the moment. I may get deeper into the episode at some point but I put it on hoping for some Trek optimism and it instantly shat on me. I get enough miscarriages of justice and jackboots beating people up in the real world, thanks.

I have done literally nothing with my printer except print parts and benchies so they're all just PLA black. Wish I could help!

Haha, I might have to dust off my Ender for this.

Just used this as an excuse to setup a monthly donation. I love this little instance...

It did say I would get Jamaharon included though? I assume my Horgon is in the mail?

He doesn't need to actually stop them, just make them appear illegitimate. Also, in places where Republicans are in power already, they will absolutely do this and suddenly we're looking at a midterm where the best outcome for Democrats is losing no power instead of gaining any.

Uhh, is this not a direct reference to that song? I immediately took it that way...
