  • All Gentoo users remember the pain of compiling QtWebEngine ;)

    I used to run Gentoo on my old computer. Installing it was quite the experience. That was where I learnt about most of how Linux works thanks to the wiki.

    I heard compiling your own packages with use flags can improve performance, but honestly it was not worth it for the compile time.

    When I switched to my new PC, the Nvidia GPU doesn’t work and I could not figure out why. I also don’t have the time at that moment so I installed Endeavour instead, which I’m still using.






  • It’s in some way related. This is the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, a glitch that happened to a speedrunner (not ABC) where Mario got randomly teleported to a higher position. It was speculated that a bit flip happened due to cosmic ray, but it’s more likely that it was caused by a hardware bug instead.

    pannenkoek2012, famous for creating A Button Challenge (ABC) TASes, put up a $1000 bounty for anyone who can solve (consistently reproduce) the TTC upwarp, since an upwarp would be very helpful in gaining height without pressing the A button to jump. This upwarp never got solved, but he already found ways to beat TTC without any A presses and it was insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EpPsaAF_k





  • The only difference is that -Syyu forces the database to update

    To explain what database means in short, it tells pacman what packages are available in different repos (e.g. core, extra). In some rare cases, the time of the database update may be incorrectly marked, and pacman would not know there are new packages/versions. -Syyu should be used in this case.
