It does work, it just isn’t the most intuitive UX.

Another Tetris clone with a beautiful UI and sound design and an intuitive control, in my opinion the best falling block game at least for Android.

(I don’t think this is on fdroid though?)

It even works in just a web browser!

Pretty cool collection you have there. Unfortunately, the web version doesnt seem super accessible to Smartphones. Is that all a huge codebase? Has charm.

If you know GitHub, code hub is the same thing but free and open source, and working on federation support.

Thanks :)

For sudoku, I recommend LibreSudoku, which is foss, has a really nice and modern UI, and features killer sudoku as an alternative game mode (which I much prefer).

Oh, I did not know that. Well, it makes sense that it has a heap allocation, as it becomes more or less global. Though not sure why the atomic operations are needed when the value inside is immutable.

You mean mutex? Arc allows synchronous read only access by multiple threads, so it’s not a performance bottleneck. Locking a mutex would be one.

I liked it. It’s not the pinnacle of entertainment but it was kind of cute and I had a good time with it.

I get that coding cryptography is fun. I did it in university for the relevant classes where we had been given specific exercises, test vectors, in the second one even automatic testing with thousands of test cases, and speed mattered too. For education, that’s pretty amazing, but if you do your own Crypto and put it in production you’re just asking for trouble.

This really is just an AES GCM case. And don’t understate the beauty of using a well formalized and thought out crypto primitive for actual applications. Cryptography is fucking cool.

:(

What do you mean, the XOR Algorithm?? For this case, an AES-256 GCM AEAD (Authenticated Encryption, possibly with Associated Data) seems like the perfect use case. AES GCM is usually the most secure mode.

I hope you didn’t literally use XOR, so like you have some key stream the length of your data, XOR the key stream with the data to get some output. This is what some modes do internally, like AES CBC, but for an application you should just use something from a stable crypto library.

If anything, keep to Rule Number 1: Never do your own Crypto.

The sad thing about forgejo servers is that our stuff might be popular if the projects were not so isolated. I want federation so bad but I feel like I was waiting for years now

What? No, the framework 12 is the thing the had before the 13 one. Nowadays, they call that model always 13 it seems. I think you’re confusing something, I’ve got mine since a few years now.

The “bug causes death” thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.

Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.

It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking “did I do something wrong” I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It’s better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that’s it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don’t get it.

For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.

The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.

At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.

Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.

Also, it was really expensive.

So yeah, I sadly wouldn’t buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I’ve had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.

Ebird/ Merlin bird id does this wonderfully.

Yeah, but that is gone if you literally forget it.

Is 4.0 out yet? One of my favorite games, but late game often gets unplayable

Problem is you need a way to decrypt that shit with memory loss and a burned down house.
