Venn1 — Fri, 08 May 2026 16:42:18 +0000

They are powerful little devices. I used a Pi Zero 2 with an ethernet adapter to host an x86 TrackMania² server using BOX64 and it never had a problem. Only swapped it out recently because I needed the Zero 2 for another project.

These projects are really neat. Last week, I was able to build (and play) the Xbox 360 release of Sonic Unleashed on a couple of ARM SBCs using Sonic Unleashed Recomp.

Is there anything (technically) preventing SBC manufacturers adding SODIMM slots?

I was expecting the Milk V Titan to avoid this memory nonsense since it has two unpopulated DDR4 slots, but it has fallen off the radar like several other SBCs.

If I could smash a button and get a 1:1 copy of my existing site, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I don’t see that happening just yet due to the integrated forum software and its own plugins.

With Cloudflare behind it, hopefully plugin vendors will start paying attention.

Venn1 — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:45:18 +0000

I exhausted my teenage savings to buy the Voodoo 1 due to the Linux support. Granted, I was running Red Hat at the time so the installation consisted of installing what, two RPMs? Played a lot of Q3 and Unreal on that card.

Ah, this might explain the traffic from Kagi a week or so ago. I've been scratching my head over that one. I just checked, and my wee little blog is listed in smallweb.txt. Neat!

Curious what goes on behind the Next Post and Show Similar buttons.

New comment by Venn1 in "Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month"

Venn1 — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:06:13 +0000

I set up a forum when I started my site for Linux content creation. Discord had become a black hole for technical know-how on a scale IRC could never dream of, and finding answers to common questions was nigh impossible since the technology has changed and the modern way to solve problem X was never asked in a forum and never indexed by a search engine. Granted, Reddit provided a bit of a stopgap over the last decade, but the solutions in the comments these days are more often than not a confidently incorrect copy-pasta from GPT.

I use Discord for chat and voice calls since that is what I expect from a chat app, but the amount of companies that have built their community / knowledge base / support system around Discord is worrying. You know they can just delete that, right?

I'll continue to use Discord for chat until prompted to put my face in the hole :)

Venn1 — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:42:34 +0000

Getting Quake Brutalist Jam III running on Linux using Quake from my Steam library took a bit of research.

./ironwail -game qbj3

Edit: Changing /Id1 to /id1 and making the *.pak files lowercase will allowed the MOD to launch correctly on my Debian system using ironwail-0.8.1.

Venn1 — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 19:05:38 +0000

I stick with tech news and the creator space on social media, and while I could very well be doing something fantastically wrong, it is hard for me to find on Bluesky when compared to Mastodon and X.

All these years later, and nothing has replicated what Google Plus accidentally pulled off.

The Orange Pi Nova will use Loongson's 2K3000 SoC and should be available on Amazon. Looking forward to getting one in for review.

I’m more excited about the upcoming support for VST3, but this is still welcome news. It is far easier than getting hardware encoding working with Rockchip SoCs on Linux.
