Colonel Panic

makes sense

probably because the video resolution has been abysmal to begin with to fit it on the cartridge

disco elysium - i guess i’m an ageing alcoholic cop now

no

the sauce is not so secret, people actively try to leak them: https://github.com/elder-plinius/CL4R1T4S

it’s weird how the same console would have still worked fine if it were modded and had pirated games on it

as they should. fuckheads being afraid for their lives is the highest form of satisfaction we can get.

check out this list: https://publicdns.info/best-adblocking.html

using the adguard dns is probably easiest, fire and forget. nextdns gives you more settings and controls.

on android you can e.g. drop “dns.adguard-dns.com” in the “private dns” setting and you’re good, system-wide

i think they meant the app “smarttube next”

what i did is going for the smallest sd card, and buy a proper bigger one, then clone the “stock” card, and copy over roms and metadata from my nicely curated Batocera drive.

it can be super tricky to get any OS that officially supports the R36S to run on the clones, so i run the OS it came with. the device isn’t connected to the Internet so i don’t worry too much about malware.

dreamcast is simpler to emulate, n64 notoriously isn’t, I’ve been struggling with this system during my Raspberry Pi 3 emulation era already. the “real” R36S apparently is a tad more powerful than the cheap knockoffs, but i can’t seem to find it anymore - the closest available official one would be the RG35XX for $55

at that price point, the R36S clones on Aliexpress, i got one on sale for ~€22. they play everything up to ps1/dreamcast, n64 not so much though. the romsets they come with and their metadata are really bad, and the sd card is prone to die spontaneously, so it requires some tinkering

it’s cross-posted, but not every lemmy client shows that explicitly

time for a Nero move

yeah i’m running a lts distro but keep the kernel up to date, it’s super simple, there’s even gui apps for it

it’s fun for microcontrollers, for when you get bored with software and want to venture out into hardware

true for eg MS’ C++ extensions or copilot - they actively block installing and running it on codium, based on some internal “app name” config of the IDE.

there’s a workaround for that though. install both codium and vsc, install extensions on vsc, symlink the “.vscode” folder to “. vscode-oss”, and edit codium’s app info json (forgot filename) to match vsc’s (mainly the “app name”).

last step needs to be done after each update, but can applied with a script, happy to share if anyone needs it. Just make sure the installed codium- and vsc versions match.

i agree - the last letter in FLOSS stands for software, and everything before that is describing qualities of that software. the term has nothing to do with hardware per say in my opinion.
