2·2 months agoまず、総理から前線へ。
I’m still learning japanese, but I think it translates to something like: “First, to the warzone, prime minister.”
I don’t remember having seen から used like that before, but I can’t think of anything else that would make sense.
Edit: fixed transcription.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the pronouns they/them in your language?English
1·2 months agoDisclaimer: I’m learning Japanese & I don’t know Chinese.
It looks like the original character for the 3rf person pronoun is now the masculine pronoun & the female pronoun is made by substituting the person component (人, I don’t know how to type the left-component form) with the woman component (女).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Debian, encrypted boot, how to increase password attempts?English
3·6 months agoI meant the following:
- Find out the Debian package is too old
- Create Arch Live USB
- Boot Arch Live USB
- Copy GRUB config from the Debian install to the current Arch live system
- Install the up-to-date GRUB while in the Arch environment
The bootloader installer package is distro dependent, the bootloader the package installs isn’t. You can boot Debian no matter if the GRUB is installed from Debian stable, Debian Sid, Arch, Fedora or even FreeBSD. Otherwise, dual booting wouldn’t work.
Like I said, I’ve done that before, though with SystemD Boot instead of GRUB, which was a bit simpler due to how the bootloader is configured.
emerge --ask cake ... [ebuild N ] dev-dotnet/cake-5.0.0 USE="-debug"Huh. Seems like Gentoo really has a cake recipe.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Debian, encrypted boot, how to increase password attempts?English
41·6 months agoAs it’s a bootloader, it should make almost no difference which distribution was used to install it. (I’m not sure if Debian patches their GRUB.) I just used Arch as an example, as it is famous for being up to date. And, no matter where it’s installed from, if you’ve made changes to GRUB’s configuration, you’ll have to copy it over to the live distribution to keep your changes.
Yes, Debian Sid might be more familiar for Debian users, but that’s it.
Edit: You said “get the grub debs from Debian sid”, but installing Sid packages on non-Sid systems isn’t something that you should do.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Debian, encrypted boot, how to increase password attempts?English
52·6 months agoBut bootloaders are distro/OS agnostic. Why wait for Debian, when you could, for example, boot an Arch live ISO to install a newer GRUB?
I don’t use GRUB, but have done the same thing with SystemD Boot before. As GRUB’s configuration system is a bit more complex, you might have to mount your main install to get the correct config file.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Thought I'd Died & Linux Was the MessengerEnglish
21·7 months agoLemmy is not GPLv2, but AGPLv3.
So, the game would have to be (A)GPLv3. (The licenses are fairly interoperable. IIRC you can use AGPL components in GPL software if you abide by the terms of the AGPL.)
Viral licenses are nice and all, but they’re not without their drawbacks. I caught GPL recently (the slightly rarer Affero v3 strain) and now no DNA testing companies want me as a customer. I can no longer write MIT or BSD licensed code. Whenever I open a project, a LICENSE file appears within ~15 minutes of contact. I hope to recover soon.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something incredibly useful you can buy for roughly £100 or less?English
2·7 months agoI understand, but the value of something like “about 200 apples” might vary a bit less.

Maybe, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were only kept in memory, being monitor-specific & re-retrievable.
If it’s not stored in a file, perhaps KDE cli tools or debug utilities could help.
