Explain shafts - is mojo involved? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Since starting golfing, I've become increasingly nerdy about hardware. This is typical for me.

I've recently learned how to reshaft carbon fiber and steel shafts, which has allowed me and son to try out the limited shafts we have here at home.

I've read that shafts can be an amazing magic that transforms your game, but also that that's a crock, and super expensive shafts don't have any magic in them.

What's your experience or expertise in this area?

Infected games under Proton. by undrwater in c/[email protected]

Depends on what the virus is built to do.

I read someone intentionally infected their Linux system with a Windows virus, and they lost the home directory.

Linux on old School Machines? by undrwater in c/[email protected]

It's where Linux really shines, to be honest. Those specs will be fine. Great learning opportunity for the students too.

Last posts prior to this were about 8 months ago. I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing.

I'm [M,58] a year and a half post surgery, and so far clean. Cancer took my bladder and prostate.

Recovery started quickly, but I feel about 70% of where I was pre cancer. Mental outlook is good.

Sending out good vibrations to you all!

Son joined the high school team last year, so I started with him at the same time. I've been learning a lot. His coach is quite chill, and we play sometimes during the matches.

I wish this community were a bit noisier, 'cause that other place has more activity.

Hi everyone!

[HELP] Running Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars (lemmy.world)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

wine: RLIMIT_NICE is &lt;=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives by undrwater in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Your question is likely too general for a good answer.

What do you need specifically? What makes the solutions you've tried 'meh'? What would make an office suite 'better'?

There used to be a wine-based project specifically for Microsoft office. It was called crossover office. Not sure if it's still maintained.

Good luck!

Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale? by undrwater in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

There's a game called bzflag which has several games modes. One might be battle Royale style.

It's tank battle, though. Still fun!

What android phones do you recommend and why? by undrwater in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I was (am?) in the same dilemma. Loved my 7 pro, but someone dropped it, cracked the screen, and things started going downhill (hardware wise) from there.

As a replacement I got an 8t (still OnePlus). It's nice, but I miss the 7 pro.

OnePlus is no longer an enthusiast brand, and I think the Pixel is the only other one currently. Maybe the Nothing phone? That's kind of early adopter territory still, I think.

Sorry I'm not more helpful. I prefer phones with unlocked bootloaders that allow for alternate firmware to be installed.

How bad is battery life on Linux laptop? by undrwater in c/[email protected]

Not bad at all. With some tweaking, it is commensurate with other operating systems.

Discussion: Brand Loyalty vs. Exploring New Brands by undrwater in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I HAD been loyal to OnePlus for as long as they were friendly to enthusiasts, developers, and explorers of various firmware.

Now I'm on the hunt for a brand that provides those things as OnePlus has moved in a different direction.
