I don't really know how such things get decided on Wikipedia, but it seems unfair to me that Minetest has had its page removed and now there is an administrator lock on it so that nobody can recreate the page. I wish I could vote or something for it to be up again. I have a wikipedia account with maybe 50 or so edits which might be somewhat credible. I tried this game and it seems really great so far and definitely noteworthy enough to warrant its own page, just like many other free and open source games.

I just got a text message from a number which my phone indicates is located in the UK, the number is +447394492883. the message:

Microsoft access code: 4380

Is this some sort of scam? I just checked my microsoft account which I hadn't logged into for a very long time (yay Linux) and it didn't show any recent activity besides my own login. Maybe this is some scam where when you call the number it is sent from you get an expensive phone bill, or maybe they made an error at Microsoft UK? Just in case I might give out an actual access token, I changed the number in the message but it was a similar 4 digit number. Not sure what to make of this.

I've installed AnthemScore in a folder in my home directory with the setup. I do have the qt5-base package installed and tried installing all other qt packages that might have been relevant but that didn't work. Something is probably not linked up right.

I had 2 sticks of 16GB so 32GB total working in single channel mode in my previous motherboard. I wasn't aware it was running in single channel mode, the sticks sat in slot B1 and B2. When I tried to upgrade it to 64GB with two other sticks of the same model, I noticed that whenever there is a stick present in slot A1 or A2, the computer didn't want to POST.
I got a replacement motherboard because of this and unfortunately I ran into the same exact issue. I put my i7-6700K into it and it won't boot with ram in channel A. Can this be a partially broken CPU where somehow memory channel A is fried inside the CPU but channel B still works fine? I got the CPU second hand. I tested all my memor

I had one set of two sticks of DDR4-3200 16GB, CMK32GX4M2B3200C16, so 32GB total. This worked fine when I put them in slot 1 and 3 (I realised I was running them in single channel). Now I got another same set so that I have a total of 64GB (4x16GB). However I noticed that the motherboard won't POST with any of these sticks inserted into any of the channel A slots (slot 2 and 4). having 1 stick in either slot 1 or 3, or two sticks in 1 and 3 does work. With any of the other RAM configurations it fails in the same way. there are four LEDs on the motherboard which indicate the boot step. CPU, RAM, VGA, BOOT. When it fails to POST, CPU lights up, then it switches a few times between CPU and RAM,

Nevermind. This seems to have fixed itself with another reboot.

I'm using arch linux and to use the plasma desktop I installed plasma-meta and kde-applications-meta with pacman. I use GDM as my display manager. When I try to log out of the plasma desktop, it shows GDM for a split second, then the screen goes black, and then it eventually GDM shows back up again but at this state i'm unable to log into either gnome, i3, or plasma desktop. Trying to log in to either of them will throw me back to the GDM login screen without any error and all I can do reboot which will make me able to log in to desktop environments again. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this and I don't really like

I am trying to follow this guide on creating a multi ISO installer on my 64GB USB stick. When I try the command:

sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2

It hangs after outputting the following:

I am trying to run Compton on the Raspberry Pi 2 in combination with i3wm. So far, I've managed to get it running by editing /etc/xdg/compton.conf with the settings backend = glx and vsync = false
However, without vsync, it's a pretty bad experience with the display being laggy. When I try to set vsync = true, I get the following error:

[ 03/28/2019 01:02:21.038 vsync_opengl_swc_init ERROR ] Failed to load a swap control extension.
[ 03/28/2019 01:02:21.039 session_init FATAL ERROR ] Failed to initialize the backend

I can also set the backend to xrender and run compton. But when I try that with vsync enabled I get the following error:

[ 03/28/2019 00:57:25.136 vsync_

I wish there was an easy way to show or hide the bookmark toolbar with a simple hotkey instead of [alt] +[v] + [t] + [b].
Why this hasn't been added while there are so many threads, forum posts, and bug reports about this is beyond me. I don't want to go through the effort of creating a firefox bug reporting account so I'll let my voice be heard here.

I'm trying to do exercise 1-10 of K&R 2nd edition. I'm using bash on linux which might be relevant for this.

Write a program to copy its input to its output, replacing each tab by \t, each backspace by \b, and each backslash by \. This makes tabs and backspaces visible in an unambiguous way.

This is my program so far. It does replace tabs and backslashes but when I type a backspace, the last character of the input simply disappears and this won't be shown in the output. Here is what I've made so far:

#include <stdio.h>
/* copy input to output, replacing more than one consecutive spaces with  a single space */
main()
{
	int c;

	c = getchar();
	

#Solved This is exercise 1-8 from K&R 2nd edition. I'm using the getchar function in a loop to test all characters in the input but for some reason the tab and the newline character are not detected so tabs and newlines stay at 0. It does count the spaces however. Can someone tell my why this is happening? thanks.

#include <stdio.h>
/* count spaces, tabs, and newlines in input */
main()
{
	int c;
	int spaces, tabs, newlines;

	spaces = 0;
	tabs = 0;
	newlines = 0;

	while ( (c = getchar() ) != EOF)
		if (c == ' ')
			++spaces;

		if (c == '\t')
			++tabs;

		if (c == '\n')
			++newlines;
