A few weeks ago I was given an old Dell Latitude E6320 laptop that my mum had for a while.

A couple of weekends ago the 59th Ludum Dare game jam happened, and I took part in the Compo event where you have to make a game from scratch in 48 hours.

For one reason or another, I recently found myself wanting to play the original retail 2004 build of Half-Life 2.

For a while, Zandronum has supported saving credentials for its account system to the system keyring using the login_add command, so you don’t have to keep typing your password into the console or storing it plaintext in your configuration file.

If there’s one thing that GNOME does right, it’s workspace management.

While hacking at Subterranean (some not-a-game blocky cave game thing), I was experiencing weird groups of stutters happening about once per second that I was having trouble figuring out the cause of.

I neglected to write a post about this a couple weeks ago when Mercurial 7.0 was released, but: in the off-chance you were using the Mercurial package from the devel:tools:scm repository on openSUSE Leap 15, this will no longer be updated, due to Mercurial

Last May I wrote about how I had finally switched to using Linux full-time, now that I had an AMD graphics card, which actually work well under Wayland, unlike the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti I had before.

I recently found myself wanting to use Debian on real hardware for something, but since my left monitor is dying, I need to override the EDID for it.

Merry Christmas!
