  • Just as a general rule, I would start checking log files. You can start by searching /var/log for files that have been modified in the last few mins with something like “sudo find /var/log -mmin -10 -ls 2>/dev/null”. That will get you all log files in /var/log changed within the last 10 mins. Then you can tail those or grep them looking for clues. I have done searches of the entire file system looking for log files that were recently modified to find clues. It might also help to send the output to a file so you can view that and scroll up and down rather than just trying to read the output of the find, tail or grep commands. Put a “1>/{path}/filenameyouwanttouse.out” at the end of the command or you can pipe it to the tee command and it will show on the screen and write to the file you specify.


  • Pre-1990, you’re mostly looking at the NES library as the go to. The older Atari games I don’t think are worth it, outside of the historical context angle.

    With all due respect, I have to disagree with you there. You seem to be lumping all Atari games into the 2600 category. The Atari computers had plenty of classics.

    Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
    Star Raiders
    Choplifter
    Miner 2049er

    The list goes on and on, and if you add in the Commodore, Apple, and TI computers it gets even bigger. Pre 90 consoles, you have Colecovision, Intellivision, etc. Of which I personally love love love Utopia for the Intellivision.



  • Don’t see why you wouldn’t be just fine. I am playing Dune Awakening right now on my Linux machine. There’s the proton db website to help if you run into issues, but I haven’t had any so far. If I have a problem with a game, I usually force it to an older version of proton, or just fiddle with the versions and that usually fixes things.

    Drives are cheap. Get a new drive, pull out the windows drive and put in the new blank drive and install linux and give it all a try. I just bought a new gaming laptop and the first thing I did before powering it up was swap out the nvme drive to a larger empty one and installed PopOs to match my desktop machine.


  • Yeah, my point was that the world has mostly always been controlled by the rich disgusting criminals and people who are just now realizing this need to be aware of that. It’s comparable in my opinion to people posting on youtube videos something like “this Elvis fellow was criminally underrated.” Just because something is new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to everyone.

    Back on topic, I firmly believe that social media is causing a lot of these mental health issues. People seem to believe that they are the main character for one, and they have an unhealthy obsession with trying to keep up with other people, while ignoring the fact that what people put online is highly edited and parsed. That’s just my theory as an observer from outside. I have no social media accounts other than this one, and if this all was powered off tomorrow I wouldn’t care.

    That’s the people who use vi to view a file. Watched a guy almost get fired when he shared his screen during an audit and had ‘sudo vi /etc/shadow’ right there in the command window. Auditor saw it and called him on it. He swore that he was only viewing the file to look for a user’s id, but the auditor didn’t care, because he could have modified it either on purpose or by accident.
