My favorite #game I play on #linux, so relaxing... Cities: Skylines

I guess as valid as always http://wumo.com/wumo/2013/01/25

Today I fixed two unavailable RAM DIMM slots by losening a screw.

3+ years ago when building my computer I spent hours figuring out why it won't boot, and ended up placing RAMs into two slots farthest from the CPU, since closer 2 to PC didn't work. I forgot, today bought more RAM and then remembered the beginning and was sad.

I eventually found https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?97733-DIMM-slots-A1-and-A2-aren-t-working-due-to-possible-AIO-cooler-installation-error and found that one screw for my AIO cooler was too tight. I losened it and voilà! I have 4 slots working, dual-channel too! 😁

r/ProgrammerHumor is spot on

In case you are running Samba, not (knowingly) using Winbind and Samba repeatedly fails to start with this error message in the logs:

Failed to create BUILTIN\Guests group NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED! Can Winbind allocate gids?

Just go ahead and delete /var/run/samba/winbindd/pipe

You are welcome.

Installing #LuaRocks in #Termux on Android, hurdle 3:

$ luarocks install luasec OPENSSL_DIR=$PREFIX

When building with external dependencies, you have to specify the $PREFIX directory (provided by Termux). There's probably a way to configure this globally but I haven't found that option yet. Also, you need to specify the variable at end of command line (as an arg) instead of as environment variable at the beginning because #reasons.

Installing #LuaRocks in #Termux on Android, hurdle 2:

$ ls -l -d .
drwx------ 18 u0_a95 u0_a95 4096 Nov 29 20:12 .
$ echo 'export USER=u0_a95' >> ~/.bashrc
$ . ~/.bashrc

LuaRocks uses the $USER variable extensively, but Termux does not set it by default. LuaRocks also checks permissions, so you cannot just make it up. Use the user owning your home directory.

Installing #LuaRocks in #Termux on Android, hurdle 1:

$ apt install unzip

The default "unzip" Busybox applet does not recognize the "--version" flag which LuaRocks uses to check if the tool works.

What's your favorite programming language? For me it's #lua and starting toying with #nim. I wonder how their horses look like...

Late to the game, but just listened to The Changelog Podcast with @Gargron and enjoyed the content. I found the history of Mastodon especially interesting - make something useful and don't let it die 🙂
