The bots in early 2000s games would teabag you after they sniped you from across the map with wall hax. The AI bots of the future will intentionally die to you then start talking in voice chat about how good at the video game you are and the other AI bots will all agree that you're a super player.

you two will make me make a few big posts, you get that right?

first of all, Heroes 3 Complete from Gog, Horn of the Abyss, VCMI and modded gog are all different games that are very different to play and have huge differences where at some point the similarities are so small, Civ 5 or Chess are more similar to some of these games than how similar they are to each other:

the Gog version, hd version, complete and I will add HotA to the mix are all essentially vanilla heroes 3 versions that are the standard campaign or small numbers skirmish games - they are balanced and all the monsters, skills ( except for like 5 god ones : town portal, fly, Dimension Door, implosion and resurrect ) are mostly balanced. depending on the size of map, the game duration is different and the power of the monsters and the hero battles is small and balanced. bigger maps may favor magic skills and imba shit like necro while small maps favor attack and defence bonuses.
On a linux machine this version of the game is the easiest to install - just install the gog exe into wine/lutris and its done.

But the versions mentioned above are boring : small number of factions to choose from, not so many imba monsters or skills, it gets stale after a while. Gog modded and VCMI both turn the game on its head:

Gog modded is what i like: everything gets 100 times stronger and the early game is the only part of the game where decisions matter and army combat is very interesting. gog modded has the problem that there is a point where if you are from an op faction and you have town portal and dimension door, the game is over, but until that point the game is arguably the most interesting heroes 3 experience. its not the end point but the journey. i can go into huge details, but i am lazy. gog modded is the hardest game to run on linux - it requires 3 different lutris installs of 3 different Windows vms each into each other and the end result can only be played in Gamescope.

https://vcmi.eu/ on the other hand is easy to install and offers a variety of modification options, including new AIs, new factions, new music.... like a big ass list of new shit.... most of which i did not have fun playing. main problem is the AI - you would expect the default AI to be somewhat competent, but its pants on head retarded. I think what happened is that they use the default chess AI algorithm where the AI consider all possible options N steps ahead and choose the best option, but here N is 1, so its fucking retarded as anything that can happen in the span of 2 days is not considered. The AI is also scared of normal screeps and will only take fights it considers to be 100% winnable - it will basically just avoid fighting for progression and if you mix this with just thinking for the current day - the AI gets stucked in its base on 1 base and it can literally go AFK forever if even 1 big creep camp blocks its path.

While a normal player will just try to finish the game once he gets dimension door or flying and normal AI will use them very weakly to just take 1 at most easy to take castle, the standard AI in VCMI is afraid of even going outside its starting castle. there are no words to describe just how better the AI in modded wog and even standard HotA are. Of course VCMI does let you get another AI and if you experiment a lot it probably can be made fun... but damn it will require testing a lot. modded wog just works - only difficulty is to install it. VCMI is easy to instal atleast.

Basically yes, the idea is to remove the separation between kernel and user and between processes and have effectively the entire computer be just one big process all sharing memory and resources.
Isolation and security are accomplished just through environments and closures.
To a certain extent you can even do away with the entire file system and just have the disk be a single huge swap partition that contains the system image. Shutdown is just (save-lisp-and-die), startup is just seamlessly resuming computation ala hibernation.

lisp machines are a remnant of the past. they do not make any sense in the modern world because of glaring security issues. do you really want some smelly webjeet to be able to send code lisp code to your machine that gets ran as any program would? that being said emacs is as close as you can get to a modern lisp machine, and it can replace much of your computing if you want.

Emacs Lisp provides thread and process abstractions.

why would you ever check user input in a hot loop. on modern hardware the first thing you have to ask yourself is "how often does this run?". If it's less than 100000 times a second then microoptimizations dont matter at all. It's just timewasting bike-shedding.

the 'trick' with ntfs is that if you have a crash or unsafe shutdown (i.e. power loss). you should boot into windows and let it run chkdsk before using it again, as linux doesn't have a fsck for ntfs. this doesn't necessarily mean you need a full windows install, even just attaching it to a vm and running it with a windows install dvd is enough to be able to run chkdsk on it.
ntfs support in linux really useful for many things, but as a permanent solution it's not ideal, it's more for interacting with windows computers and being able to get your data off of it

there's your answer. more or less restrictive group permissions on ~ don't matter if there's nobody else in your group.
it will matter a whole lot if you try to sync /usr/ /bin/ or /etc/ though

Nothing would work if you needed a driver for your CPU. If the BIOS isn't even detecting it then it's not installed properly.

>>107700419
I'm pretty sure any kind of write to NTFS using Linux is enough for Windows to flag it as needing CHKDSK on boot. Pressing any key to skip it used to be a constant thing back when I used an NTFS drive as shared storage. I use a NAS for this purpose now.

>>107700511
>services put a character limit on password length sometimes to save up on storage.
If they have issues with storage that mean a few bytes of password are unfeasible, they likely have bigger things to worry about.

Additionally, they shouldn't actually be storing your password... Common practice is to hash the password, and store the hash. Depending on hash methodology, they should all have the same length entries regardless of the input pass...

>doesn't help that the platform itself asks for specific things
Long proven untrue to enhance security. Strongly indicates that platform doesn't take security seriously when it's parroting best-practices from the late 90's.

>but that removes quite a bit out of the pool of possible guesses when it's a hard rule, surely?
The opposite, in fact.
I can instantly eliminate all combinations that *don't* feature that pattern....

It's twofold.
You are thinking about brute force wrong.
No one brute forces some login prompt. Instead, websites get hacked and databases get leaked.
In the databases are your username, email, and a hash of your password.
The hash is one way, you take your password and it one way converts it to a string of like 32 or so random characters using a math equation.
Every time you type the password, it gets put into an equation, and then the result is compared with the value in the database.

So you can just brute force that, generate and hash a billion passwords a second and compare them with the known hash until you get a match.
Literally multiple billion times a second for some of the common hashes.

But changing your password often and using different passwords for every service is the best solution, because once one gets leaked, it should be changed, regardless of how difficult it is. Completely just protects from immediate access or delays from the leak being announced.
Unfortunately when a company gets "hacked", depending on the data sensitivity, they have either 6 months to report it or they don't even have to report it. So that's where changing it often and keeping complex passwords comes in.

>>107700153
Here's the thing. They don't work like that. How it actually works modernly is there's giant files of millions of passwords. What hackers do is they sort by most commonly used and run the brute force. The reason security people advice you to change your password more often is because once one of your accounts is hacked it'll be posted online in some hacker discord or whatever. Most general hackers (indians) will take your email and password and try and use it to login to some other site like coinbase, or paypal, or whatever. So the actual reason it's recommended you change your password is because once your information is leaked it'll be associated with a certain hacked password and changing it mitigates all the bots that try to auto login to shit with it.

>No one brute forces some login prompt
Evidence suggests otherwise

>websites get hacked and databases get leaked.
And these details are augmented to lists to attempt.

>generate and hash a billion passwords a second and compare them with the known hash until you get a match.
Or just use a rainbow table...

>But changing your password often and using different passwords for every service is the best solution,
Untrue.
Using seperate passwords is good security. Rotating frequently, not so. It's been proven to cause difficulties in recollect and demonstrates no evidence that what it's being rotated to is any more secure than what it's rotated from...

>>107700589
>>107700641
what if the difference is, again, literally only the service name? like >>107700422 ... is that stupid but good enough to protect against one place being leaked, since, again, most hackers might just be trying the same stuff on different places as-is without changing it whatsoever?
