If only you sharted in your pants instead; then you would’ve been able to partially accomodate OP’s request.

Oh, that’s cool.

Eventually™ I will have to change this.

Yup many people had the same issue which is why someone created a docker container mod for LinuxServer’s qbit docker image:

I’ve been using it for over a year now and it works well.

Holy AI slop this article sucks. Nothing screams ChatGPT more than a shitton bullet points in the form:

• Keywords: A sentence to describe the keywords.

Also, Wayland is gay and X11 is trans.

Plus even if they were to implement those features, the challenges would still get increasingly harder the more bot-like a scraper behaves.

You can’t prevent scraping entirely but you can certainly prevent scraping that behaves like a DOS attack.

It’s really simple actually. It took me a bit of time to figure it out the first time though since there were no usable guides anywhere. As luck has it, I have actually written a full, comprehensive guide I wanted to post on here eventually. If you want to, try following this “beta” version of it:

An actually comprehensive guide for installing FitGirl Repacks using Lutris on Linux [Beta]

I’m frankly surprised there is not a single guide which explains this process. Sure, there is this one on Reddit from nearly 6 years ago but it is both outdated and its assumption there is a user install script provided by the Lutris community rarely ever holds true.

So, let this be a guide for the full FitGirl Repacks install process for newcomers to Lutris. I will be using the game “Beacon Pines” as example because it’s decent (it has received FitGirls’s Pink Paw Award after all) and rather small so if anything goes wrong you can quickly redo the process: First of all, acquire the files. I have stored them in ~/Downloads/Beacon Pines [Fitgirl Repack]/

Verify the BIN files before installation (optional)

In case you have eyes, you may spot the Verify BIN files before installation.bat file. This calls an .exe to verify the MD5 hashes of the .bin files containing the game data. It’s likely redundant, as your torrent client (or browser if you used a direct download) verified the integrity already but it doesn’t hurt to double check.

1. Head to /<game name> [Fitgirl Repack]/MD5 (in my case ~/Downloads/Beacon Pines [Fitgirl Repack]/MD5

2. Execute QuickSFV.EXE using Wine. I just ran wine QuickSFV.EXE in the console. This window should then open:

   

3. VERIFY WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT DIRECTORY IF THIS IS NOT THE FIRST FITGIRL REPACK YOU INSTALL. The program “remembers” the last location and does not choose your current working directory by default except for the very first time. Once you have chosen the correct directory, select the fitgirls-bins.md5 file.

   

4. Done! You can safely close this window. If any file is detected as missing/bad you should probably re-download everything.

Prepare to run the installer

1. Before you run the installer, you should make sure everything will be nice and tidy. By that, I mean you should create a directory where the game and the Wine prefix will be located. I chose ~/Games/Beacon Pines for my install.

2. Now, within Lutris click on the (+) button on the top left and select the option “Add locally installed game” at the bottom of the newly opened menu:

   

3. Within the “Game info” tab of the new menu, choose a name and select the “Wine” runner:

   

4. Within the “Game options” tab, choose the /<game name> [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe file as Executable and the previously created directory as your Wine Prefix. This is where Wine will create the virtualized drive_c directory, so this second part is very important to keep everything organized.

   

5. Finally, within the “Runner options” tab, select GE-Proton (Latest). Wine rarely works for larger repacks (though for Beacon Pines, the default Wine runner happens to work).

   I recommend changing this globally by the way by selecting the gear icon for Wine in your “Runners” tab in the main menu and then switching the setting just like above. After all, the Wine version Lutris defaults to is outdated and shouldn’t be used anymore:

   

6. Press “Save”. You should now see the installer in your Lutris game library:

   

Run the installer

1. Double-click or press on “Play” to start the installer.

2. Once you have clicked through the title and information screen - you probably don’t need to limit the RAM to 2 GB - you will land at this screen. You MUST change the default folder. By default, it will be Z:\Games\<game name> - which maps to /Games/<game name> on your Linux file system. And while you can throw away all conventions and have a game directory in your root, it is probably not the smartest thing to do. Besides, the installer doesn’t even have the permission to create this folder and will fail:

   

   Rather, you should select your C:\ folder as the location to install the game. This will map to the path you earlier specified as the Wine root directory - in my case ~/Games/Beacon Pines/drive_c/Beacon Pines. Also, you can disable “Create a desktop shortcut” as that option doesn’t do anything for you (except waste a couple of kilobytes of storage). You can later create a desktop shortcut through Lutris if you want one:

   

3. Install ALL components it shows you. Your Wine prefix does not yet have DirectX/C++ Redistributable/Whatever installed as it is bare bones. In order to run games, you need these files. In theory you could create a single Wine prefix for all your games which would save some storage (because you didn’t have to install DirectX dozens of times, once for each game) but this causes much worse portability.

   

4. Press “Install” and wait!

5. Finally, if applicable only select the “Update DirectX” (as well as C++ Redistributable etc) check boxes. You don’t want to launch the game just yet (even though you could in theory as everything is installed):

   

   As for the Redirection setting: It won’t work on Linux; just use uBlock Origin (you may need to activate some more filter list in Ublock’s settings though):

   

6. Press “Finish”, let the check run through and then close this window. A new window for installing DirectX/C++ Redistributable etc. should open up afterwards.

Add the game to Lutris

1. Just like earlier, press the (+) button in Lutris and then select “Add a locally installed game”

2. Within the “Game info” tab, use the correct game name. This will allow Lutris to automatically recognize the game and download relevant assets such as the icon and the cover image. In my case, the name is just “Beacon Pines”. Common abbreviations (such as GTA for Grand Theft Auto) should also work but don’t rely on them. Remember to select the Wine runner!

3. Within the “Game info” tab, choose the newly created .exe as your executable. It is located where you installed it. Since I chose ~/Games/Beacon Pines as my Wine prefix and C:\Beacon Pines as my install directory within the FitGirl installer, the .exe is located in the directory: ~/Games/Beacon Pines/drive_c/Beacon Pines/. As for the Wine prefix: Use the same as earlier:

   

4. If you didn’t select Proton-GE as your global Wine runner, you should select it in “Runner options” like earlier.

5. You should now see the game alongside its automatically downloaded cover image within Lutris. Enjoy! The installer can safely be removed from Lutris now; it will not delete anything in your file system (neither the setup.exe, nor the Wine prefix used by the newly installed game).

   

Yep! Wine does NOT work with larger Fitgirl Repacks (>1 GB).

Lutris with Proton-GE works flawlessly though. Never had any issue.

You could try installing and running the offline installer for DirectX.

But I recommend trying to run the game without installing these runtimes first. You likely have them installed already. If the game doesn’t run then use the offline installer.

I just use RED. The user collages are pretty nice to find new albums.

That’s like the least noteworthy aspect of German anti-piracy action out there tbh.

There’s an entire industry around identifying people who torrent and fining them 4 digit amounts as well as forcing them to sign a declaration never to pirate again in their lifetime (which, when broken, results in contractual fines a magnitude larger). Don’t want to sign? Tough luck, have fun losing a lawsuit forcing you to sign it.

Nah, I think it’s neat as well. Lemmy would be more boring if no user had idiosyncrasies.

Hell, I’ve even tagged you with “CC BY-NC-SA 4.0” in my Lemmy client - which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.

Every file can have zero days targeting a specific application though. Sure, PDF is a bit worse than other formats in that regard but I’d say the likelihood of a zero day PDF is approximately the same as a zero day MP4 for your video player.

I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

This isn’t that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior “reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland.”

Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

So the reason for the ban was that hyprland’s developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I’ve rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with “I hope we can resolve this constructively” and “I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me”.

It’s an idiom about admitting you’re wrong.

In other words, you could write the sentence as:

“If there has been significant positive change since then, I admit that what I wrote was wrong.”

I’m not actively following it since I stopped using Hyprland around that time.

If there has been significant positive change since then I stand corrected.

No, this was an instance of transphobia in their official Discord community. See this for context.

Another instance is how Hyprland’s developer is banned from contributing to freedesktop.org for repeated COC violations.

Hyprland has a right-wing reactionary community surrounding it. For instance, on their Discord a trans person had their username’s pronouns changed to (who/cares) by a moderator after being upset that they were misgendered.

Grab all the freeleech 2112’s and enjoy a steady stream of upload.

There’s also freeleech for the album of the month and neutral leech for all album of the month candidates in the voting phase.

Yup! It’s the smallest (non VIP) torrent on there. Its only purpose (nowadays) is to change your ratio from NaN to a number in the hundreds of millions/billions. It’s my only non-freeleech download.

god dammit I didn’t expect it to be guessed this quickly
