Since civ4 predates the steam workshop, I’m not aware of any compatibility between the mod menu and steam workshop. The mod menu is for more “simple” mods that make XML changes, but don’t need dll support. The mod menu may also support python changes, but i’m not an expert. Most mods however use their own launchers where they are able to use their own dll’s, python and scripting. Changes the purpose of the civ4 executable to simply be the game engine with much of the mechanical logic opened up to the imagination.

Fundamentally you have a single tile map and mechanics that compute on each turn along with a combat engine for the units. But despite those limitations, the breadth of mods is vast and hasn’t been matched in any of the future installments. (Cynically I think it’s a publisher decision to lock modding behind compiled binaries so that DLC can be sold, but technically I may wrong on that.)

The original “Fall from Heaven: Age of Ice” mod is actually an official mod of Civ4: Beyond the Sword. You can play it in the scenarios and that will give you a taste of what the vast world of “Erebus” modding looks like.

Civ4 is A-tier.
Civ4: Fall from Heaven 2, Rise of Erebus, Fall Further, Mod Mods transcends S-Tier.

Alpha Centauri is a distant 2nd. But still good.

Oh I totally missed that. I suspect you’d end up in a lot of circles tbh.

Heh, I found one starting from the featured article of english wikipedia today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Krugers I clicked on the first link in the article, not on the page, and also skipped the reference links. Took about 8

Hitler -> Political Philosophy -> Philosophy

I didn’t know any of this. Amazing. I usually just look at /proc/net/ for routes and bonding config etc.

But what good is this power if you cannot wield it?

Linus is Liberal as a pejorative.

Isn’t the purpose of an immutable OS supposed to be for things like specific services that generally aren’t supposed to be logged into? For example a web-proxy, or log-forwarder or maybe some kind of LB front-end?

I didn’t think “daily driving” an immutable OS as a user who needs to invoke a shell was its purpose.

You need to understand subnetting. Allowing 192.168.1.0/24 also allows 192.168.1.135/24 In fact 192.168.1.135/24 shouldn’t be valid syntax at all, but it is easier to accept it and then let subnet math fix the mistake.

I assume your router is 192.168.1.135 for whatever reason, so as long as your router is contained in the configured iptables allowed network, it’ll work with all of the following networks.

192.168.1.135/32
192.168.1.134/31
192.168.1.132/30
192.168.1.128/29
192.168.1.128/28
192.168.1.128/27
192.168.1.128/26
192.168.1.128/25
192.168.1.0/24
192.168.0.0/23
… And 22 even larger networks.

If you don’t configure a subnet mask for the rule, iptables will accept the IP address you put in as a single host, the /32 is implied. The same behavior would be seen using any kind of network filter, though they may not allow you to specify 192.168.1.135/24, they may require a bit boundary, but mathematically, it’s the same.

Why is there a need to comply with foolish laws? I’m sure I type stuff on lemmy.ml or elsewhere on the internet that doesn’t comply with some idiot law somewhere in like Myanmar or the DPRK. Why would I concern myself with those laws.

Not black text on white, but light grey/purple on dark grey was pretty popular with Sun Microsystems. I think OG Apple Macintosh used Black on White, or at least close enough colors.

That said I use something like this for work.

yea, ever since TPM was first making the conspiracy rounds in the 90’s there has been a huge misunderstanding of its purpose, let alone its capabilities. I 100% agree with the author that looking at the TPM as an evil blackbox is really just depriving users of a tool that can be implemented in an open source way to secure user privacy. The GPU however is impossible to implement in an opensource way by everyone except a small handful of semiconductor companies, and even then you would rely on proprietary microcode that woul take millions of manhours to reverse engineer if it were even possible. So if I were some megacorp who relied on Imaginary Property, the GPU that was exclusively created by a fellow megacorp is where I’d place my trust.

I also dont know why Win11 requires a tpm2.0, but since it does, and my current computer doesnt have one, I’m certanly not going to run it.

Saudi Arabia is absolutely bad. I’d go so far as to call them the EA of Countries.

I don’t think you should let Nazi’s win the war of language.

But in that “offline” mode, can you join a server or is it local only?

Right, so it sounds like there needs to be a Mod that allows Minecraft clients to bypass central auth, I suspect a mod like that would look very similar to piracy as far as Microsoft is concerned.

Wait seriously? I’ve never played Minecraft, but the only control Microsoft has is an optional(?) account? Without that you can use any version of minecraft you want to connect to any server you want? That can’t be right, otherwise I can’t understand why this thread exists.

It’s inevitable. Microsoft didn’t give Notch a billion dollars because they thought they could improve the product for the users. They bought it because of the number of users. They saw a revenue stream that wouldn’t require very many resources to maintain and that they could also expand to multiple microsoft platforms and then lock behind a walled-garden to sell access as a service. Of course they wanted to confine the player population to servers that microsfot controlled. That is the only way they could ensure that any add-ons/mods/players etc were gated behind their own storefront.

While that may be true, that fact is immaterial. Microsoft can control which servers can exist, and thus they can and will do anything they want. The only way around them is to mod the game so that it’s more like a Terraria model, where anyone can run a server and anyone can connect to it.

An Ex-post facto EULA. Because whatever dumbshit Microsoft acquisition EULA that bootlickers like you want to point to in order to justify censorship 100% didn’t exist beforehand. But beside all that if I’m running it on my computer, your EULA doesn’t matter anymore at all.
