Valmond

Hello everyone!

I switched to 100% Linux not long time ago (Serenity + 5) but I'm struggling with the replacement of the last but seemingly simple workflow, that I have used an overpowered photoshop for when on windows.

I'm an 'ol game dev and I love firing up some compiler or IDE or game engine and have fun, today its Godot 😊😅. Long live FOSS!

I'm doing about everything in 2D pixel graphics, mostly because I have a stock of unused and also because I like it the most I guess.

So to the workflow!

Modifying pixel graphics:

The pipette must take only one value, not some mix of say 2x2 pixels

The pen writes 100 percent to pixels, or zero (so no smoothing stuff).

Possibility so make selections with 100% hard edges, and the possibility to erase (so creating transparency).

Saves with transparency to .png.

Bonus:

Resize without smoothing

Changing the hue in a selection

Aand that's it!

Is there a such simple soft out there?

BRW. Tried Gimp, it's just not working out for me.

Thank you so much 💖

Hello everyone, I hope I'm not in the wrong place here.

My fiber connection went down thursday, and after some debacle (team 1 changed the broken hardware but didn't plug in my FTTH :-/) I'm back in business.

Thing is, my lemmy.mindoki.com, where I probably live all alone, is now no longer updating. All posts are about 5-6 days old...

I don't even know if I'll see your answer to this post (so please leave at least one answer, even if it's an empty one 💖 if there are no answers).

Any information greatly appreciated.

Edit: at least I can see this post, the next after a 7d old one :-)

Edit2: the instance was running all the time, with a network connection but without access to the internet. Maybe it decided everyone was like stale?

Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it "for real". I'm looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I'm wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects..., isn't an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I'm willing to ponder web instead of PC but I'm not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Hello,

Is there a good place to host a little FOSS project elsewhere than github?

I'd especially like an open source community.

Cheers

Hello!

I'm thinking about to make some sort of simple lemmy-crawler. The api seems to respond in json so that should be quite simple in python.

So before I dig in and set up sockets and stuff (maybe overkill?) has someone already done some dead simple "hit up a lemmy server and query them" boilerplate code that they'd share?

Cheers

Hello!

I have some weird problems since I upgraded from 0.18.4 to 0.19.1 (I did it incrementally).

Posts doesnt seem to show up any more, for example if I, on the web (just to illustrate, its the same with Jer oa or Voyager) go here:

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/permacomputing

I can see a bunch of posts.

But if I go through my server:

https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/[email protected]

There is no pists at all (I have refreshed, waited, reloaded...).

I do see the page of the community on both links though.

Anyone having an idea about what could be wrong? Am I banned everywhere (I have never been to lemmy.sdf.org before and I usually don't behave bad online at all).

I'm asking here because the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world support has tge same problem (??).

Cheers

Hello!

This question is not about backing up your data; like git, photos & videos etc.

I have a Lemmy server running Linux Mint and I wonder if there could be a way to backup like the OS data (and installed packages) so when the mobo fries (for example) I can just back it up into a spare server (installing Mint)?

Obviously the premise is that I can backup that important stuff correctly.

I'm asking because I'm a Linux noob and was confronted with the Mint backups and rollbacks. Very smooth BTW, for a virgin system anyways. Also because I hate installing and configure stuff (like Lemmy docker + nginx) and would love knowing the downtime would be minimal.

So sort of having a hardware backup.

Hello,

Longtime windoze user (because work, gaming, programming, lazybess, ...) I'm switching over to Linux Mint (a slow long process that might finally end up with just a little win-box for the printer and a soft or two) on all my everyday pc:s so I'm trying to get more into the nitty gritty stuff here, and I have long time heard that the:

UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition)

Is like the Linux Bible...

Is it still so? Is it still worth the money or are there better books out there?

Cheers!

Hello fellow Lemmyers or what ever we are!

Today my Lemmy server went sort of down (uptime is OK, but the server seemed having problems to serve requests), so I restarted the docker and everything is back to normal. I use the docker version, I haven't upgraded to the last version.

How frequently should you relaunch the docker, if ever? Should I be better and upgrade faster?

What do you think?

Cheers!

Hello !

On my PC I use a torrent client that's FOSS and that only works if my VPN is running. It's great!

Is there a similar soft for mobile (Android)?

Harr & Cheers!

Hello !

Back in the day I made some "MMO" web games, you know you have action points, 'many' players, enemies items etc and it's all "real time" (but you'd only play once or twice a day) and Lemmy have made me quite nostalgic so I thought why not whip up a little game?

So first I thought I could use the users (and the authentication in the http request) of the lemmyverse as players (go to my game community, be redirected to the game, and your credentials is already your login/pass) but I don't really know how to do that, and I feel I'd spend way too much time doing it and maintaining it.

So I thought, I just redirect a community to a "webserver" that does it all, and that's why I'm here.

What's, in your opinion, the easiest simplest webserver with an authentication system where I can plug my game (the game will take like GET/POST variables and give some text and GET/POST inputs back and that's about it).

The best would be some fire & forget soft that's a bit supported. I know I can install Apache and make it work but it seems so large for what I want to do.

Ah, and a Rust "backend" (my game) would be cool, or python if that's not possible.

Cheers

Hello!

As one of many, I started out on "Lemmy" not long ago, and as stuff didn't work well combined with an absolute non-knowledge from my part, I made 1 account on lemmy.ml, one on lemmy.world and one on beehaw.org.

I also set up my own Lemmy server, but it worked way less well than just going to the aforementioned servers (language selection was one part, but more stuff in ALL is still a big difference as I'm quite alone on my server).

Now my accounts just got less and less working until they can't upvote nor post. I'd log in, get a popup confirming my login, but I'm actually not logged in.

Is this because I haven't used them for a couple of weeks, haphazard bot pruning, or something else (I seriously don't think I have posted anything offensive for those sites to bump me)?

I did password reset, I created a Valmond2 on lemmy.world (also didn't work. Maybe it's against the rules, sorry). I'm on mobile with FireFox.

I'm bringing it to attention because when you can't post, you can't get help either. Maybe there are a bunch of people longing for lemmy but just can't contribute.

Cheers

Valmond
