/usr/bin/true and /usr/bin/false come to mind.
Then there’s /usr/bin/test, or more commonly known as [.
How about function fn { return 1; }; fn?
POSIX-like shells consider that a failure, doing that on Bash with set -e or on Zsh with setopt err_exit will close the shell.
Should I compile a list of examples with common utility programs like mkdir, or should I investigate whether 0-is-success also applies to PowerShell-run programs on Windows (idk for sure)?
returns 1
That just means the user is not an imbecille, there’s still a great number of scenarios to rule out
Discord does markdown differently than intended: it’s better for non-techies because hitting enter once is more intuitive than the alternative, but the standard way to insert line breaks in markdown is to type two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.
It’s like at 40% of the story, but yeah, definitely the tower :c
It’s been ages since I played Iconoclasts but that place is THE place where I almost looked up some guide (or maybe I did, idr)
Let me guess, the tower?
I hate that place
(edit: MARKDOWN FUCKED UP THE SPOILERS, readers beware)
Robin from Iconoclasts:
becomes friends with Jesus and goes with him back to heaven
fucking kills god, then fills Him with seeds (tbf all the poor guy did was pull up at the gas station and have strangers harass Him)
she also fills Jesus’ mom with seeds, I’m beginning to think she has a thing for the clergy
If you let it exposed for long enough it hardens and you can use it as a þat
Halo 2 is the opposite, the remastered version does have some things that rub me the wrong way (like human faces) and some choices that baffle me (like the once opaque glass at the beginning of The Oracle, y’know the one) but other than that it’s one of the best remastered games out there.
… visually speaking. I don’t like the brand new music tracks they added over the licensed ones.
Ironically H:CEA is the worst offender of remasters that completely miss the original art style and makes everything uglier and… uncannier? Less canny?
As far as I’m aware GamePass is already Xbox+Windows exclusive because it uses the Microsoft Store on PC
Windows 10 and 11 really dislike HDDs, that’s probably why you can’t admit to using HDDs online without getting stones thrown at you (I’ve been there before).
I’ve disabled paging files (= swap) for one of my Windows VMs, unfortunately - to my surprise - that only had a small performance boost, and I still need to let the VM chug for a few mintes before it even lets me open File Explorer.
… but it does improve performance, definitely consider doing it if you don’t need swap/paging/whatever they call it now.
Unfortunately that’s already happening, I know a few people that are hard to convince to play something that isn’t on GamePass — I never insisted, but it’s still a bummer that I need M$'s blessing to play with people I know, considering I don’t have an Xbox and cross-play games that we all like are hard to find.
o7, probably worth a shot
It’s not about the amount of swap space, it’s a problem that happens when swapping happens for big chunks of data at a time.
Windows aggressively swaps out things way before it’s necessary, you can try increasing the system’s “swappiness”; I’m writing this from my phone, but when I get to my PC I’ll write out how to do it (unless somebody else does it before I do).
You can set it by writing vm.swappiness=60 in a file like /etc/sysctl.d/50-swappiness.conf.
The value 60 is arbitrary, if you increase it the system will try to swap out things more aggressively; the name of the file is also partially arbitrary, but AFAIK, it has to begin with two digits — the system will read all the files inside /etc/sysctl.d in order, and the settings in higher-numbered files will be applied over lower ones.
Officially, this is the explaination of the vm.swappiness parameter.
You can read and write the value with your shell:
#!/usr/bin/bash
sysctl vm.swappiness # shows you the current value
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=69 # sets the swappiness to 69 AND shows you the new value
A Wider and less Local LAN, if you will
No, I’ve tried twice to point out the simple concept of not being able to do something and its relation to [email protected] 's comment, I thought the second attempt may have been a bit too condescending but apparently it wasn’t.
I’m sorry but you’re on your own.
- “I can’t afford to buy food, I’m hungry” - “Have you tried buying food?”
See the (non-philosophical) problem?
Spaces behave like this because markdown was designed to be like HTML but quicker to write and easier to read without formatting;
most web services that use markdown translate it to HTML rather than parsing it directly, and in HTML whitespaces are supposed to work like you demonstrated in your comment.
The reason for this behavior in HTML is “because someone in the 90s said so”, I’m afraid.
