Hi,

Recently (31st of January) I had this problem with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

I flashed Raspberry OS using the official Imager to a MicroSD card. I selected Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W; Raspberry PI OS 64 Bit; London/UK; Wifi network details; enable SSH; disable Raspberry PI Connect. The Wifi network was from Hyperoptic in London, not sure exactly what access point they use or if that's relevant.

The Raspberry Pi booted successfully after powering it on, and it did connect to wifi and it was accessible via SSH. All good.

I connected to it over ssh and did "apt update; apt dist-upgrade". After powering it down and powering it back up, it no longer connected to wifi or was accessible via ssh.

Hello,

I was trying to run an old game called "Call To Power". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization:_Call_to_Power

I had CD image (bin/cue) mounted using Linux cdemu. I was using wine 7.0 with 32 bit wine prefix. The game would set up correctly, but then fail to start a new game asking for a CD. CD was correctly mounted as a D: drive in winecfg and shown as "CD-ROM" drive in advanced options.

I have worked around this by replacing Wine mcicda.dll with Windows original mcicda.dll, and everything started working.

My question is if this indicates some kind of failure in Wine itself or its packaging that should be reported and fixed?

I'm running Debian/Sid. I found this issue with str

Not sure if I should post this to 4X subreddit as it's not a strictly 4X question. But this place has enough strategy game fans so I thought maybe I'll get an answer or some interesting discussion.

I was thinking about computer games where you start small on one planet, then you either contact aliens or get invaded by them, then that acts as a catalyst to resist, build up, develop new tech and expand outwards / develop / conquer all.

Obvious answer is x-com franchise and spinoffs and I was a huge fan of old games (1-3). But what else is there? An old game called Reunion comes to mind (https://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/reunion) where you start on one planet, build up economy, then go on

Hi,

As far as I understand, PRO versions of Ryzen CPUs are supposed to support ECC RAM. Official RAM compatibility lists for this computer show only non-ECC RAM supported. Does anyone actually have this computer and can verify if ECC RAM is actually supported or not and if it's actually doing any error correction? Does it work with Linux and show ECC stats too?

I'd like to know that before I buy a used AMD EliteDesk for my home server...

Thanks,

I just wanted to share what I think is the most cyberpunk Russian movie ever- 2006 Khottabych

Unfortunately there aren't subtitles available on Youtube. You can find srt subtitles on opensubtitles.org if you wish, and download the movie with youtube-dl, and watch it with subtitles in VLC/MPV/whatever.

Overall, very nice funny movie and a window back into how computing was perceived back in the day. And it has a genie and decent amount of post-humanism (post-genieism?) too :) I remember it as fondly as I do the 1995 movie Hackers.

Hello,

I just released latest governor version. It's a simple update to merge all the changes from v1.04 upstream.

I also modified the Windows build to bundle the JREv17 as that's the current Long Term Support Java version.

https://github.com/coder111111/rotp-public/releases/tag/v4.04.0

There aren't any other changes for now. Please let me know if you run into any bugs.

Hello,

I finally found some time to work on ROTP. You can get the latest release here: https://github.com/coder111111/rotp-public/releases/tag/v4.03.0

Changes are:

• Merge 1.03
• Since the change to increase minimum transport cost to 10BC was never implemented upstream, revamp auto-transport. Revert to transporting only organic population growth 1-2 at a time. And eco spending will not spend on population growth when close to maximum population leaving room for natural growth.
• Also update startup to be more robust when it restarts to increase memory size. Should fix issues u/lankyevilme and maybe others were having.
• Also, resurrect the code-only tiny jar packaging of Governor mod de

Hello,

I've posted previously that I've been experimenting with technologies that would allow Java game development on the web. I've settled on using TeaVM and Three.js frameworks.

http://www.teavm.org/ is used to compile Java => Javascript

https://threejs.org/ is used to do 3D graphics on the Web using Javascript.

I've also used a library that provides interface to Three.js Javascript library from Java by giving TeaVM bindings. I've had to fork and extend it quite a bit, but it was quite easy.

I've created a technology demonstrator which shows a ROTP map using WebGL. You can play around with it here:

Save game for this map is here: http://rotptea.eu3.org/sa

Hi,

I'm self isolating from my family today because of sore throat/cold. Lateral flow test says it's not COVID, but I still don't want my wife or daughter to get it. Which means I have time to work on ROTP. Here's the latest release:

https://github.com/coder111111/rotp-public/releases/tag/v4.00.1

It's a simple merge/update. I also removed ffmpeg from the dependencies, as ffmpeg is too big and not suited as an animation player if we want to reduce the size of the jar.

Happy new year everyone! It's 2 hours until midnight here in Lithuania and it's raining. The snowman we built earlier (last week was cold and there was plenty of snow) has almost completely melted by now...

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for this, I feel like it should be under HA wiki or documentation. Please let me know how to get this to some place where it can be read by more people.

So I have HA running using official HA image on Raspberry Pi3. I have an USB Zigbee adapter (I think it's TI CC2531). I have started HA fine and connected the devices, but I kept getting warnings that my network is running with default network key and hence is insecure. Error message looked like "Your network is using the insecure Zigbee2MQTT network key!". I looked for docs on how to change it and struggled to find something easy to understand on how to set up Zigbee adapter properly. So I decided t

Hello,

Does AV1 support alpha channel/transparency? If not, why not and is it still possible to change that?

Does AVIF support alpha channel? If so, can I use animated AVIF for cases where I need transparency? If AVIF provides more features than AV1, why use AV1 at all?

Thanks,
