@Its_Nova1012 First was Slackware, sometime in the 90s, downloaded by a dude in University and distributed to us poor guys without broadband back then. it therefore came on a lot of 3.5" disks... A LOT! Now I'm using Debian on the servers and workstations.

What was your first Linux distro? - Fedora - Ubuntu - Arch Linux - Debian - Kali Linux And what are you using now?

@GonzoIX @SyphoticART I know and really like that. What I was talking about was an addon like KW was for TW. Full additional campaign, new units and let's not miss the series defining cheesy briefing videos. It's so sad that there was never another CnC after KW... ... no, there never was one!

‼️🚨 BREAKING: An AI found a Linux kernel zero-day that roots every distribution since 2017. The exploit fits in 732 bytes of Python. Patch your kernel ASAP. The vulnerability is CVE-2026-31431, nicknamed "Copy Fail," disclosed today by Theori. It has been sitting quietly in the Linux kernel for nine years. Most Linux privilege-escalation bugs are picky. They need a precise timing window (a "race"), or specific kernel addresses leaked from somewhere, or careful tuning per distribution. Copy Fail needs none of that. It is a straight-line logic mistake that works on the first try, every time, on every mainstream Linux box. The attacker just needs a normal user account on the machine. From there, the script asks the kernel to do some encryption work, abuses how that work is wired up, and ends up writing 4 bytes into a memory area called the "page cache" (Linux's high-speed copy of files in RAM). Those 4 bytes can be aimed at any program the system trusts, like /usr/bin/su, the shortcut to becoming root. Result: the next time anyone runs that program, it lets the attacker in as root. What should worry most: the corruption never touches the file on disk. It only exists in Linux's in-memory copy of that file. If you imaged the hard drive afterwards, the on-disk file would match the official package hash exactly. Reboot the machine, or just put it under memory pressure (any normal system load that needs the RAM), and the cached copy reloads fresh from disk. Containers do not help either. The page cache is shared across the whole host, so a process inside a container can use this bug to compromise the underlying server and reach into other tenants. The original sin was a 2017 "in-place optimization" in a kernel crypto module called algif_aead. It was meant to make encryption slightly faster. The change broke a critical safety assumption, and nobody noticed for nine years. That bug then rode every kernel update from 2017 to today. This vulnerability affects the following: 🔴 Shared servers (dev boxes, jump hosts, build servers): any user becomes root 🔴 Kubernetes and container clusters: one compromised pod escapes to the host 🔴 CI runners (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins): a malicious pull request becomes root on the runner 🔴 Cloud platforms running user code (notebooks, agent sandboxes, serverless functions): a tenant becomes host root Timeline: 🔴 March 23, 2026: reported to the Linux kernel security team 🔴 April 1: patch committed to mainline (commit a664bf3d603d) 🔴 April 22: CVE assigned 🔴 April 29: public disclosure Mitigation: update your kernel to a build that includes mainline commit a664bf3d603d. If you cannot patch immediately, turn off the vulnerable module: echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf rmmod algif_aead 2>/dev/null || true For environments that run untrusted code (containers, sandboxes, CI runners), block access to the kernel's AF_ALG crypto interface entirely, even after patching. Almost nothing legitimate needs it, and blocking it shuts the door on this whole class of bug...

@Smitty_Games @SteelCommandRTS That's what I was referring to, the steamworks side. AFAIR the docs I gave you in discord were for the steam bindings, otherwise I gave you the wrong ones. If you need more Linux testing, my boxes and Steamdeck are eager to try.

@discordier @SteelCommandRTS Didnt really need them TBH. It was very straightforward. I just downloaded the Linux Export Template straight from the editor. The only headache I had was getting the right build/depots said up on the steamworks side of things

An RTS on a Steam Deck!? I got @SteelCommandRTS running on my SteamDeck. Im surprised at how well its handling the terrain deformation and navmesh rebaking! There are still a lot of things that could use optimization, so it will be interesting to see how it performs on the SD when it's all said and done. PS: We probably wont have controller support, but this is just a fun little experiment. #RTS #RTSGame #IndieDev #SteamDeck

@Smitty_Games Sounds fun, if time zone differences allow for it, hit me up and I'll hop in.

Fellow Indie Game Devs! I'm going to begin hosting game dev podcast episodes on my YouTube channel. My intent is simply to connect with other cool devs in the space and have some laid back conversations. If you're interested in having a chat, either DM me or comment below and maybe we can work something out! My wife can only handle so much nerd talk before she exits her body and waits for me to stop rambling (on the realz she loves hearing me nerd out) #indiedev

@RetroGameBoss @RubenRetro_PC Great shot, return to base immediately.

@RubenRetro_PC The music that plays after this when C & C shows your score is pure METAL! Sounds so awesome after beating a mission 🎧🎸

Is there anything more satisfying than this? #CommandAndConquer #RTS #RetroGaming #PCGaming

@RubenRetro_PC Yes, playing NOD. 😉

@legendofmi Thanks, I guess that means to replay them all in order, never was a big fan of the non Gilbert ones though

@legendofmi Was the icon based UI really CD-ROM only? I thought I had it on PC with 3.5" disks back then... Might be mixing that up with Indy 4 though, it's been more than 30 years after all.

LeChuck’s ship under Monkey Island in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland: 1. EGA: 16-colours with dithering. 2. Amiga: 32-colour hybrid using EGA assets and downsampled VGA backgrounds. 3. VGA: 256-colours. 4. CD-ROM: 256-colour VGA visuals but with the enhanced icon-based UI.

@SyphoticART @SteelCommandRTS Just give them a charismatic badass image like the brotherhood and I'm all in.

@discordier @SteelCommandRTS Can’t wait to share more information on them! Though they’re quite a bit different from NOD, they will be very different from the Coalition.

New [WIP] Vs Old APC for the Allied System Coalition. The Coalition operates as your traditional military within @SteelCommandRTS

@RubenRetro_PC Nod always

Going live with Command & Conquer 🔥 Retro strategy time! Anyone up for joining the stream? NOD or Global Defense?🎮 #RTS #retrogaming youtube.com/watch?v=NKKq1a… youtube.com/watch?v=NKKq1a…

@RubenRetro_PC Yes, game speed. On "normal" it is very slow paced.

@discordier Fast setting? I don't remember what was that, the game speed?

Which one should I play LIVE this week? 🤔 Warcraft II ⚔️ or Command & Conquer 💣 Going back to some RTS classics — your choice decides! 👇 #Warcraft2 #CommandAndConquer #RTS #RetroGaming

@Orcasandwich @brockpierson I thought only sticks count, that's only PC then.

@brockpierson This 512kb expansion memory card for A500

The evolution of computer RAM. I think the first stick of RAM I used was EDO RAM but by the time I built my own computers it was SDRAM. What was the first stick of RAM you remember?

@brockpierson SIPP in my 386. Glorious 2MB iirc.

@Mikkeyy_Dee @Serenity_0nline Tübingen ist doch nix mehr seit Jahrzehnten. Foyer abgerissen, Zoo abgerissen, Bierkeller dicht. Sudhaus gibt es die alten Parties auch nimmer. Was gibt's denn da noch? Sag bitte nicht Cinderella... oder wie das Ding inzwischen heißen mag. Schlachthof ist wohl auch nix mehr.

@Serenity_0nline Du!...Viel mehr geht hier unten bei uns nicht mehr 🤷🏻‍♂️😅 Gibt nur noch meine stammbar in Balingen ,in Tübingen geht noch was oder Stuttgart
