tar -czf = 'Compress Ze Files!' tar -xzf = 'eXtract Ze Files!'

@mgord9518 17 күн бұрын

This falls apart when you want to use other compression than gzip unfortunately

@pavelperina7629 15 күн бұрын

Create archive as a gZip from Files eXtract archive which is gZipped into Files i believe - is necessary only for FreeBSD tar, not GNU tar

@mgord9518 15 күн бұрын

@@pavelperina7629 Just tried it, bsd tar (at least the libarchive one) autodetects compression. So you can use a simple `tar xf [TARBALL]` with both gnu and bsd tar. Pretty sure bsd tar even works with zip, cpio and a few other archives

Ghost stories are product of survivor bias and illusory correlation reinforcement. Nobody would repeat of story: 'I felt running kid behind and it froze my spine to solid, but next day I spoke to my friend and we concluded it's to be product of stress.' (Part of your brain knows your kid is not in home, but other part expect your kid to be at home and running. It is similar miss match between prediction and reality when you miss a step. Or you put your phone into wrong pocket than usual and cannot find it...) But, if you next day talk to friend and he tells you about how your house has been built onto old Indian cementary, then you have a ghost story... In stress Your body will make references to memory and modifies your input before you made any conclusion of situation. PTSD modifies your sensory input to be closer to worst case scenario than it is.

@InforSpirit 15 күн бұрын

If you would remember all dreams when you wake up, you would not believe a ghost stories. Dreams are constantly weird and most of material has nothing to do with reality. Other part has some predictive/real reference, but it doesn't mean those predictions will have any impact (also has dangers of self-fullfilling prophecy). I have seen death person in dream many times, I have seen many alive person in dream, I have been many other person in dreams. I have died in dream. I have felt how walking trough walls feel, how individuals class pains go trough my body. I have been child again in school, many times. And then comes more bizarre stuff when you realize in dream that you are talking with yourself via memory construct of other person... Human brain is insane construct.

@SoibaisteAc 17 күн бұрын

The idea is the game engine runs on server that users can ssh into (or view in a web front end) that sends down a live view of the game to get around live stream latency. The compression is just to save on bandwidth so you aren't sending down every byte for every frame to thousands of clients.

I can't speak too much on it as I've had too many issues to want to continue with using it, but that may have been a bad interaction with neovim & tmux @ 25:25. In my case, I was using the LazyVim flavor of neovim and any attempt to use it under tmux was INCREDIBLY slow and buggy. Situations like that were the norm for me, and has held me back from really learning tmux until I get more comfortable modifying neovim myself. I don't know if it was the package as a whole or if it was a certain plugin causing it. So far, only a vanilla install of neovim or a minimally modified version of it work for me with tmux. I should also note that my experience was on Arch with upper-mid range hardware from like 2016 so it may or may not be the same or a similar issue for you.
