i suddenly got really into factorio again recently after last playing it 5 years ago. now ive stopped caring about neatness and planning for the future and started enjoying just working around the spaghetti mess of conveyor belts i keep leaving for myself, im making a lot more progress.

expert mario maker is wild, the races they do at gdq are a good watch if you haven't seen those already. not as high level as they can get, but theyre fun.

Really do enjoy Factorio.  I've still never launched a rocket though.

Their dev blogs are really good.

i read a story a while ago about somehow who has spent years or something trying to beat their hard mario maker level so they can finally upload it. i wonder if theyve done it yet

Does Mario Maker allow for combination locks?  Would be a really cheesy way to "beat" an otherwise impossible level.

mario maker allows for some really wild shit, this vid talks about combination locks a bit

Interesting video, thanks for the share.

So it sounds like combination locks don't work because it's possible to view the levels.  He briefly touched on encryption, but I still wonder if some sort of hash check system could be implemented.

The final solution of "just revert to an older version and set the 'level completed' flag" seemed a bit anticlimactic in comparison.

im not actually sure what he meant by trying to implement encryption..... that channel has a billion weird mario maker vids and ive watched a lot of em but i dont think ive seen an encryption system on there before

i think i know what youre talking about cuz and i think they did do it - cuz i saw a vid about a guy who spent like two years or so working on a level. and then some of the mario maker elites beat it in like a few dozen hours apparently.

I tried building linux from scratch.  Though on a virtual machine, not a real one.

It's not booting.  😞

Earlier today I set up an instance of Tildes.net from source.  Hadn't used Vagrant before that.  It runs through VirtualBox so I had to disable Windows Sandbox which is built on Hyper-V.  Otherwise you get VM-ception.

The weird thing is that disabling Hyper-V requires two full reboots (https://superuser.com/a/1442901/129096).  No idea why.
Title: Re: what are yall up to
Post by: hubol on June 26, 2019, 02:11:19 AM
just use docker #containerization
Title: Re: what are yall up to
Post by: Tinister on June 26, 2019, 07:14:39 AM
...which requires virtualization!

I don't get why you couldn't just not run VirtualBox in the sandbox versus needing to disable it.
Title: Re: what are yall up to
Post by: SquareWheel on June 26, 2019, 08:51:06 AM
Well I dunno.  Can VirtualBox use the Hyper-V hypervisor?  In that case it could run parallel to the Windows guest rather than on top of it.

I just figured it wasn't designed for that.
Title: Re: what are yall up to
Post by: Tinister on June 26, 2019, 03:16:05 PM
No, it doesn't.  Different virtualization techniques.

What I don't get is why you needed to disable Hyper-V to use VirtualBox.  That seems akin to disabling IIS to open Internet Explorer.

My understanding is that the parent is basically reserving the VM optimizations of the CPU (eg. VT-x) and they're no longer available to the daughter VM.

It'd probably be possible to make work but at excruciatingly slow speeds.

Oh neat:  https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E97728_01/F12469/html/hyperv-support.html

Needs at least Win 10 April 2018 update.
Title: Re: what are yall up to
Post by: SquareWheel on June 26, 2019, 04:30:10 PM
Well I'll be darned.

I have that update and it didn't work out of the box, but maybe I have to opt-in.  Might be the "paravirtualization" dropdown.

Considering the complexity of the software, VirtualBox really has very few options.
