Ah, well I didn't see this 4 days ago... did you figure it out? Since you're on linux, one thing to check is whether you've got case insensitive filesystem problems, e.g. one mod gives you "SKSE/Plugins" and another uses "skse/plugins" which gets quite likely the more you install. When there are two files with the same name like that, Skyrim is only going to find one of them.
I don't know if MO2 fixes that for you or not, I just install them with a shell script. If you're just starting out, probably better to make an ext4 case-sensitive filesystem for windows games with mods to use.
3.28bn tons (2.98 metric tons)
I bet you didn't know that a metric ton was 1.1 billion times bigger than whatever non-metric ton they're referring to.
If the best that a vast Russian sabotage campaign can do is to send idiots to try making TATP in a hotel room, they're worse off than I thought. The only advantage that stuff has is that it's very easy to make, but if you're in a position to need things to be that easy you're not in a position to control it well enough to avoid having it blow up in your hands. And aside from losing some fingers it's not really something you want to do in a hotel room where everyone's going to hear the loud bang and your screams of pain.
If it's any kind of campaign it's stochastic terrorism, I guess.
...more fancy such as using tar -X, which works for me. I'd never actually tried it before. The 'weird globbing' it uses is regular expressions, which are worth learning how to use. Run grep "$expression" $_tmpfile where $expression is a line from your exclude file to see which files it's going to match and exclude.
I don't know what fd does, but at a guess maybe what you're missing is that tar includes all the files in directories you give it? So if you exclude 'foo/bar' but include 'foo' then foo/bar will be in your tar file.
What I do is basically tar cf `ls ~ | grep -v $files_to_exclude` but if you want to exclude something that isn't a top-level directory you'd need to get slightly more fancy.
Suddenly I'm worried about AI's energy draw. "6 percent of global electricity" is not a small amount of electricity.
Further searching turns up the information that "federated" Bluesky PDS instances are limited to ten user accounts each, and API usage limits which may constrain things further. So that would explain why there aren't any big ones.
So far as I can tell they do all still "federate" through the central server, not directly with each other. So there being not much point in it may also explain why it hasn't caught on.
Almost as bad as Threads, really.
Well, what's a popular server? Are there several big ones? Sorry, but I really don't understand why the answer isn't turning up in web search results.
PS: Are you sure it isn't just people who've done the "set your domain as your handle" thing but even so are still on the central one? Because even if they have made some small progress towards decentralization they absolutely have not gone so far that there isn't still a central one.
Is it really? Seems hard to find out. Anyone have a list of Bluesky servers other than the central one with open signups?
[email protected] for a link that seems to work on from here. Hmm, maybe the original link didn't work because this server wasn't aware of that community when it parsed the original post, i.e. just a bug.
@[email protected] for a link that seems to work on mbin. I guess maybe the original didn't because the server wasn't previously aware of that community. So just a bug, so never mind.
Me? I'm not so anarchist that I personally have a problem with pledging allegiance to a flag or whatevs, just anarchist enough that I find it somewhat odd when people assume that everyone is part of "you" and "us" groups of that kind.
I guess it's just that having to acknowledge the sovereign powers of some country other than the one you're applying for citizenship in is unusual enough to make this sort of weird power to define our views of the world that the modern state has achieved stand out a little more than usual.
The intention is good I suppose, but it seems unfair to those who don't believe that nation-states in general have rights that should require our affirmation, even while they have many powers we must respect. Are they also made to affirm the right of Germany to exist? They've made a rule which denies would-be citizens the right to espouse anarchism, which seems like a step in the direction of removing human rights.
tl;dr: Here's everything you need to know about the fediverse, assuming you're never going to use it. Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Friendica. Now, back to our regular coverage of all the biggest social companies, including TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Reddit, as well as funding and acquisitions of new social startups.
I mean he's not winning the election anyway, may as well go for it.
I wonder what would happen if he announced tomorrow that he had a really good acid trip the other day and came to the conclusion that what the government must do is abandon the F-35 jet fighter deal, stop subsidizing oil companies, stop subsidizing car companies, stop pretending that rapid population growth is good for us, nationalize most of the telecom sector, get serious about fighting back the power of the other oligopolies that run most of the country, double the carbon tax, cut the income tax, eliminate most of the deductions that make it so complex, tax capital gains at the same rate as other income, consult with economic experts willing to design an effective regime for preventing businesses from growing too large, renew efforts for electoral reform, cancel all the bad Internet bills, fund electrified passenger rail transport, and run all government systems with 100% free software.
I have no data on that. Cheaper and easier to get tlds like .world might be the most dangerous of all.
Ah, so chimps are monkeys in the same way that whales are fish.
Mark Carney, apparently. I thought he was still Governor of the Bank of England, but he went on to work for Brookfield and Bloomberg and is now being talked about as a likely successor to Trudeau. Perhaps Canada will follow a few years behind the UK. Some seemingly endless years of thorough mismanagement by the increasingly delusional Conservatives, followed by a nominally left-wing party lurching to the right to occupy the conservative but slightly less-insane position the Tories once held.
Short scene from a dream
Feeling the need to urinate, I went in to the appropriate room and found the big black cauldron that people are meant to piss in on the floor next to a fireplace. As I got going I noticed that the room wasn't empty, and that I was standing right next to a table for two where a man and his wife were trying to eat dinner. "Excuse me sir, didn't see you there" I apologized. They looked unhappy. As I continued, everyone else in the restaurant turned to look at me. As if I was the one doing something weird.
how to fix Skyrim game balance, the complicated way
Here are some mods I can recommend that directly affect game balance, feel free to suggest more. For the most part I've listed only things that directly affect the basic variables in simple ways, not including survival mode stuff, combat overhauls, perk tree changes, the paraglider, and many other things that obviously do also affect game balance but aren't only about that.
*Skyrim Skill Uncapper for SE and AE - Adjust rate of level up for each skill individually. I like level-ups to be way slower than the base game, like 10 times slower, but with skills where tedious grinding is already the only way to train them left closer to normal but contributing less to character level advancement. Enjoy being level 1 for a meaningful amount of time.
*Armor Rating Overhaul - Makes early-game armour not completely useless. Getting some should be the priority it normally is in such games. The base game armor rating algorithm seems weirdly broken, any of this mod's options is better.
*Yet Another Difficulty Mod - Adjust damage dealt/damage taken, optionally changing it automatically as you advance. In my current game it's set to start with 1.0/2.0 at level 1 and smoothly progress to 0.5/5.0 at level 30 (compared to 0.25/3.0 for default legendary mode) and so far that seems good.
*Extra Encounters Reborn - Encounter more problems when wandering around the world.
*High Level Enemies - Make those you encounter more dangerous. Many of the people and animals who live only to murder passing strangers scale to higher levels than previously possible.
*NPC Regen Nerfed - Taking away their infinite magicka supply makes things a little easier.
*Simple No Health Regen - If you don't go full survival mode, maybe at least have no health regen.
*Smart NPC Potions - They might use two or three healing potions during a fight. Also they might poison you.
*Maxsu Combat Escape - When fights are actually difficult you might want to be able to run away without that stupid ogre continuing to be angry at you forever from the far side of a mountain.
*Simply Better Movement Speeds - My current choice of movement speed mod.
*Encounter Zones Unlocked - Probably helps if you're going to have a playthrough that goes on for a while.
Squardle - Wordle squared?
Squardle is the best one. There's something of a learning curve. It looks intimidating at first. Once you get the hang of it though, it's just right.
It's given me a few minutes of word game entertainment every morning for the past year. I may not know much, but I know all the five-letter words now.
Why didn't anyone tell me that Papyrus Tweaks NG is mandatory once you have too many other mods?
Why didn't anyone tell me that Papyrus Tweaks NG is mandatory once you have too many other mods?
Too many being probably about four hundred in my case. Script lag was getting ridiculous and then it started locking up, and now suddenly with that one addition, it's smooth and solid again. With that I guess my personal version of Skyrim is pretty much done, or at least ready for play testing.
This legislative triad would grant the government sweeping new powers to censor and censure, undermining privacy rights.
Update available! This version is very old.

Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?

I've just done a kernel build for the first time in years. Don't know why I ever hesitated, it was about as easy as doing a load of laundry. Push a few buttons to start the machine working on it, come back in an hour and it's done. The build scripts even made a .deb for me.
I seem to remember it being more complicated 20 years ago.

This bill passed second reading in the House of Commons. It is a serious threat. The age verification lobby is making its push, trying to bring this arrant nonsense to Canada before we and the rest of the world realise how little good and how much harm it can do.
Federation is more broken than usual
When I look at https://fedia.io/all/newest right now there seems to be very little getting through today, with only 3 new threads in the past 10 hours.
Edit: 4 now that I've posted this one, and now I notice that they're all from local users.
I agree with Pierre Poilievre: The next election should be about the carbon tax.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ What is the reason this add-on was removed? It used to be spotlighted at https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/enhancer-for-youtube/
Yet another popular extension has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It seems that its author might have requested its removal, but if so then even in that case the longstanding Mozilla policy of telling its users absolutely nothing about what happened applies.
It happened a month ago but it took me this long to notice since the feature I like best only recently stopped working. It's the sort of thing that requires periodic updates to keep up with changes to the youtube UI.
Does anyone know of another extension that can automatically resize the youtube player to fill the browser window? Or, for that matter, the invidious one?
A world Skyrim sized made to be used with Campfire/Hunterborn/Frostfall. Huge, no civilization. To expand Skyrim with wildlands. Two full worldspaces to explore. Portals from Falkreath hold and The Re
I've spent most of my gaming time for the past year gradually applying more and more mods to Skyrim, and finally got around to trying Chanterelle last week.
It doesn't have much in the way of quests or npc dialogue, but everything it does have is top quality. Lots of wilderness to explore, a couple of dungeons to crawl. Somehow the landscapes feel more realistic than most of Skyrim. Recommended for those who enjoy walking around in the woods. There are many wonders to discover. Next new game I'm going to try starting there.
Adds support for the extended plugin (ESL) range introduced in game version 1.6.1130 to versions 1.5.97, 1.6.659, and anything in between.
It allows older versions of Skyrim to handle files with the new plugin version number. Removes any temptation I might've had to install the update any time soon.
If you reverted to 1.6.640 for example and it was still crashing (as some reported) it's probably because they snuck a new .esl file in that you didn't notice, and this mod should fix that as well.
Even if we never get another Elder Scrolls game worthy of its legacy, Skyrim modding will continue.
As you might know, Bethesda's own modding service - Bethesda.net - has been offline since 29 November for maintenance. This has meant that the in-game mod browser and Creation Club content were not available for Skyrim Special Edition players on Steam, Epic and Xbox Game Pass (GOG users are not a...
In the unending quest to extract money from the mod scene, an update has arrived. Make sure to take a backup before you next launch the game from Steam. There's already a new release of SKSE but who knows what else might be freshly broken.
