To be pedantic, the MW in OpenMW doesn’t stand for anything. It’s supposed to make players think of “Open MorroWind”, but only Bethesda has the right to use the name Morrowind.

Skywind: Playing the plot of Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. Game mechanics, spells, skills, models, textures, and bugs are all going to be similar to what you have in Skyrim, give or take some modding.
OpenMW: Playing Morrowind in an open source, crossplatform game engine. You are playing the exact same game as TES III (gameplay mechanics, spells, models, textures, etc are 1:1 identical in a vanilla install) but the code behind it is less buggy, more moddable, and it provides many modern quality-of-life improvements that the original engine couldn’t do.
Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install?
Yes. Just double-check every part of the install process so you don’t write to the wrong device.
Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?
Probably yes (depends on the options you pick during the install process). The external drive will get its own boot partition with appropriate EFI files. Then to boot from it, you would select the external drive in your UEFI.
I use rEFInd as my EFI bootloader: It lets me chain load other boot options (external drives) without touching my motherboard UEFI settings. I leave it installed to my main boot partition, but it scans for other bootable partitions at startup. Then it auto-populates a selector list of my main install, or whatever other external devices are plugged in. It can chain load GRUB, other EFI bootloaders, Windows, etc from these devices, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility with whatever bootloader the OS expects to use.

But I’m actually safe: Last month I fried half of my BTRFS array, and decided that instead of recovering the system, I’d rather copy over the relevant data and reinstall Arch from scratch. In doing so, I’ve shed the majority of AUR packages that my old system had. Of the handful of AUR packages on my new system, none were attacked.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to run a Flatpak Terminal without internet permission?English
1·10 days agoYou said you don’t want the page to load. Do you even care if the browser opens?
What about overriding the default browser application that the terminal tries to use? Maybe there’s some env variable to override the xdg browser default, and you could point it to a script that exits instantly.

rpg@ttrpg.network•Cracking a player character's egg out of game?English
1·16 days agoIt seems like the problem you ran into began when EJB left the table and began to act separately from the game.
Personally, I would never let players create a character who is a 1:1 match for a person in the real world. Now you have that player “my guy’ing” about real world events instead of letting the story and other characters impact what they would do. At that point, why don’t we just read that real person’s biography or journal or whatever and skip the game entirely?
Another complication: would this 1:1 IRL person even be comfortable with being in the game at all? If my friends told me they were playing a game and I was a character, I’d ask them to stop. My question, as someone who is not at all familiar with headmates: Why would T/EJB want to be in the game at all, with someone else controlling them? And if T/EJB plays herself, then she’s already getting ejected from my game for misogyny.
I’ve never had to deal with a case where the 1:1 real world person came to exist because of the game, but I probably would ask the player to create a new character at that point. I understand the argument that off-table events can be considered fan fiction, but when there’s a feedback cycle between play and real-life, I don’t think such events can be easily separated.

Not sure if it’s a mistake by the comic artist, or a mistake by the instructor from the comic, but the shooter was destined for failure.
The butt should be pressing into the shooter’s shoulder, such that their body absorbs recoil. In this picture, they have it squashed beneath their armpit where recoil could flip the gun out of their hands and maybe smack their face.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Meta] Removing definitions from Decronym?English
31·21 days agoI agree with the person who suggested linking to Wikipedia articles.
For example, it’s not much help to learn that PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, because nobody calls it that. As an outsider, now I’m wondering what a component interconnect is. It’s much more useful to link to a page that gives context about how PCIe is actually used.

Technology@lemmy.world•AMD pulls a bait-and-switch on Linux users with Vivado licensing changesEnglish
4·28 days agoVery true. I believe FPGAs are also popular for aerospace applications, since it’s cheaper to design and patch programmable hardware than to design and physically install ASICs.

Technology@lemmy.world•AMD pulls a bait-and-switch on Linux users with Vivado licensing changesEnglish
801·28 days agoVivado is software for designing hardware on an FPGA. AMD bought out Xilinx, one of the big FPGA manufacturers, a few years back. FPGAs are basically programmable digital circuits: you configure a series of internal logic gates to represent the function of a circuit with memory, data busses, registers, gates, etc. In this fashion, an FPGA could be programmed to function like a CPU, a radio, a video encoder, or nearly any other piece of digital hardware. Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.
The thing with FPGA software is that there are no open source alternatives. FPGAs have so many complicated blobs and signing keys and proprietary IP blocks that your only choice is to use the manufacturer’s offering.

C Programming Language@programming.dev•The electronics/logic behind "while(1)" and "for(;;)English
3·1 month agoAt some level of abstraction, the end of an infinite loop is just a point where the program counter will never move past. In hardware, this is a kind of branch instruction causing the program counter register to point back to the top of the loop.
Metaphysically, best not to think about it too hard.
I set up a very straightforward Godot dev environment yesterday using toolbox which is built on top of rootless Podman.
- Create a new fedora toolbox
- Enter toolbox
- Install DotNet dependencies, git, etc with dnf
- Install Godot binary from release page
- Turns out there were other dependencies I needed
- Godot wanted a few Wayland libs on the container, so I installed Weston (maybe overkill)
- Godot wanted libxrandr so I added that too
- Godot just works ™
The nice thing about toolbox is that it uses my native host Wayland compositor. So whatever I have running in the toolbox can be interacted normally through sway (my host WM).
You can either distribute a container image with your given toolbox configured, or just document the setup steps.

Hypothetical Scenario@hilariouschaos.com•You get $25,000 a week but twice a week, you're abducted by aliens just as you're leaving for work. They'll do weird experiments on you and then drop you off at work two hours late.English
6·1 year agoWith $25k/week, I would retire. Then the aliens would never be able to pick me up on the way to work.
I’ll play nice though: They can pick me up when I’m making my way to the beach instead.

















“Shake” is scraps of cannabis plants left behind after processing it for consumption (trimming). It’s less pleasant to smoke and contains less THC than the main bud, so it gets sold off in bulk or reprocessed into concentrates.
