Re: Zema Updated LibreWolf PKGBUILD

Updated PKGBUILD for LibreWolf 123.0 Changes: pkgver and pkgrel, sha256sum of librewolf tarball. If not for wanting the checksums to match, I'd have just had you change the pkgver lol The patch is still the same, comment out the patch line if you don't want it. I tested this as far as prepare(), you...

So Librewolf 123.0-1 has been released https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/releases/tag/123.0-1 I'm going to have to build this on Arch for now (I don't want to downgrade my LLVM, for when 18.1.0 is a release it'll be easier to upgrade (blast DESTDIR through /usr instead of having to manually dele...

New Borderlands Splash Screen

I started up Borderlands 3 tonight and there's a new splash screen... it's the movie cast. It's still a ways off, Aug. 2024.

There's also a pretty good trailer out now

Re: Firefox and Librewolf

I set up a build in Arch before bed last night (my way, not PKGBUILD). LLVM 17.0.6, Rust 1.76.0 with my WASI stuff dropped in. I used -mtune=nehalem because the LLD linker will crash on libxul with LTO. That's still better than a flat build with -march (benchmark scores). Arch skipped LLVM 16 altoge...

Re: Firefox and Librewolf

It looks like my problems with LLVM 18.1.0 and Firefox go deeper. My plain build last night was fine, but when compiled with profiling hooks, the browser won't run for profiling. I'm doing a manual build (stepping through the commands rather than script and I'll try profiling in my X11 session inste...

That sure does look like something I could play, a strategy game (choices) but third person shooter perspective and action. So far the requirements are only listed as Windows 10 and 64 bit processor, but that'll just be because they aren't determined yet.

Re: Firefox and Librewolf

So that Rust 1.78-nightly wasn't any good for building Firefox. Too many of their crates are not compatible. However, that doesn't really matter at this time because I have a perfectly good Rust 1.76.0 with LLVM 17.0.6 built in that I just put back. The benefit of static linking. LLVM 18.1.0 itself ...

I also made a copy of the forum's default prosilver style, and edited and installed it as prosilver-wide

So if anyone wants a light them, there's both fixed width and wide.
