Well Firefox recently integrated a full webpage translation, fully done local on your system. It works pretty well in my experience.

I am not sure what is happening, but clicking the link (the topic title) will just reopen this again. And there is no text body or image or link otherwise.

Well Switch emulation is a different story. Especially because it was current gen and so on. But Mario 64 Romhacks and other game Romhacks from Nintendo (including reverse engineering code) usually is not touched by Nintendo.

Funny enough its still available on Github (sadly only version 1.0 is there, not 1.1, I don’t know why). The DMCA hit a fan community hosting Romhacks (only patch files).

M-Disc format is probably the best form of archiving data long term. But the discs are not cheap and you need a “burner” for it too (and a reader everywhere you want to read it) Edit: Correction, these discs should be readable by normal DVD and BlueRay players, but not all. There are DVDs and BlueRay discs with this format. If price is not the biggest issue and if you don’t want to archive often terabytes of data, this could be a solution to long term archival of important data.

A quick look in Amazon (Germany) the cheapest option has a 6 x BlueRay spindle with each 100gb for about 54 Euros (at a discount). Just to give an idea; usually this stuff is more expensive.

You could suggest it to the new fork. Maybe he implements it.

I don’t understand what to manage about dotfiles. You mean backups?

Well, you can try a Live CD for first contact. Or even a virtual machine, with a complete install of the operating system and desktop environment, without touching your actual system.

This shouldn’t be a thing of luck, if you are prepared.

You just say it should not, but why? As said 160kbp ogg is for most people not distinguishable from uncompressed. I think it is worth archiving this, especially if it is in mass like this. Why do you stay away from VBR?

160kbps ogg is not exactly low quality. Most people can’t tell the difference between 160kbps ogg and lossless, nor do they have the equipment when listen to. And with huge amount of data like this, it might be impossible or too expensive or too time consuming for them to archive in lossless quality.

I agree, archiving audio files should be lossless when possible, but that is not a requirement. 160kbps ogg is “good enough”.

Why wouldn’t it be?

MacOS = Jail

Oh Google… Someone should sue you too then.

Hmm. I was one of those who was interested in LibreWolf for long time. Just recently I had to give it a pass for different reason (but for comfort reason as you). Good to read experiences that talk about the “issues” too. I guess LibreWolf could be used for everything that does not require logging in into a website; in example random websites and websearch and so on. But then, maintaining and using two different browsers would be super annoying (for me).

There is also Waterfox, which got some update recently, with version number 6.6.6! I will look into this and how it compares to LibreWolf.

I was so close to accept LibreWolf and finally make the switch from Firefox. But sadly LibreWolf does not support saving in Browser passwords. Its because of security concerns, I get it. But look, I want to save passwords in the browser. And sadly this killed LibreWolf for me.

Well, no need to websearch. Just go to the website and look for any official links, such as the wiki. As for the optimized packages, I found this on their website:

CachyOS does compile packages with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set and LTO to provide a higher performance. Core packages also get PGO or BOLT optimization.

So the listed CPUs in the requirements list should take advantage of this I guess. And my assumption is, that these CPUs are required to run the packages at all. Maybe that’s where the “newer machines” is meant with.

Who says CachyOS is mostly for newer machines?? I don’t know why anyone would make such a claim. At least on their website, no such claim can be found. The official system requirements are listed at https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_prepare/ , you can switch between minimum and recommended set.

I was on Manjaro before too and can recommend the switch to EndeavourOS too.

One of the few rare moments of W for Firefox. Translating complete pages locally is huge in my opinion. This is an acceptable use case for integrated local Ai functionality.

In example sometimes I see people link to my blog from various forums or blog posts that are sometimes not in a language I understand. Being able to translate the page is so helpful, without using Google or any other online tool.
