For the past couple of months, I have been working on an engine that will allow me to make VNs. It will use Live2D for models and Ultralight for easy UI. Right now, I am graduating from OpenGL and learning how to use Vulkan with the engine. I question if it's worth it to just have Vulkan as the one graphics API the engine uses and translate to metal/direct3d or what is possible.

Been working on a graphics framework in C++ with DirectX, but microsoft has been pushing this AI shit so considering moving to linux. I don't mind having to work in Vulkan, but I worry about being able to effectively support PCs as a target platform

>>1166 i'm a bit uneducated, but isn't vulkan pretty well supported? i've been able to use it almost since release.

>>1166 Just put in dxvk so you can support both linux and windows.

>>1166 I write Vulkan+SDL3 on linux with c++. I use the same code to compile on windows and it behaves the same unless I make a mistake with something that isn't in the c++ specifications. Just make sure to stay away from OS specific code and you'll be fine.

oh my god i thought this was the minecraft thread and you the guy running the server, sorry :p

>>1220 >antisystemd autism Are you fine with all of the userspace belonging to a single company? Are you perhaps in love with Windows as well?

>>1222 the systemd ecosystem is all lgpl, who cares if the company can change the license in the future, distro maintainers can just pull back to a free version or somebody will just write a new init system, every program that matters is using a framework to interact with systemd so porting software it to that new system would be a joke. I would be concerned too if the license was not permissive, but it is.

>>1223 >distro maintainers can just pull back to a free version or somebody will just write a new init system that's exactly what systemd makes impossible by overtaking userspace, so you're in a very deep fallacy

>>1224 it is not "overtaking userspace", see the framework point, something that works with windows and systemd will work with systemfuture too (after support is added to the framework, and it is recompiled). Unironically, name a program that relies on systemd native libraries, has no up-to-par alternative that doesn't and can't be re-implemented or ported in a week

>>1210 well what if I make images thumbnails when uploaded and having a little "download me" near the image. no need to open the image and get to wait the full sized image, what do you think? tell me if you understand im a ESL

>>1211 where are you going to store the full size images

>>1213 I'm tech illetrate so I don't know, sorry

>>1214 >I'm tech illetrate so I don't know, sorry Everyone on image boards is tech illiterate don't worry

>>1215 thank you kind anon :smile:

taken with my 3ds

>>917 what's that jar anon

Sweet love /bst/ threads. Here is mine, if you visit /bst/ on 4chan then you most likely seen my setup. >>350 what is that big box below the desk? Subwoofer or a bar fridge? >>479 Mint Based >>714 seems pretty cozy(even if i despise circumcised kbs) >>908 what kind of monitor stand you use? I am considering stacking both my monitors like that. I use my right monitor for youtube and i think it would be decent fit there

>>350 old pic, missing some stuff still looking for a model m

>>997 abduco is nice, I use a4[1] instead of dvtm because it's lighter and I find the UI a it more pleasing. Also, it actually seems to handle text wrapping better than dvtm. [1] https://github.com/rpmohn/a4

i don't use tmux as i am a gnu screen loser but some pros are - using it on a vps. i just reattach the screen instance and all of my work is still there. - have one terminal window over several - i like to do work in the tty as less power usage and distractions - screen + emacs -nw is a nice combo - i use xterm

>>1003 1.why do you use an old ass terminal 2.emacs can have multiple windows and buffers even in the terminal it doesn't need screen or tmux 3.there are terminals that support tabs and split screen (kitty)

>>1162 >>914 when you rely on a terminal emulator to multiplex terminals for you, you are doing just that: relying on the terminal EMULATOR itself programs like tmux and zellij function via software that interacts with the terminal itself, they don't need the external terminal emulator to manage that for them fundamentally more simple, powerful, and portable

>>1169 >Abstracting out the terminal's protocol to a library >Or using an already existing GUI framework (such as godot) Terminal emulators are superior, stop it with the autism. If you were as autistic as you think you'd say writing to COMI ports is the GLOBAL interface, virtually all motherboards support that shit

What's the best SD card for a RasPi 5?

>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.

>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes

>>12 i use mine just to torrent anime. Also orange pies are cheaper

>>718 Sandisk works, Kingston also has some good SD cards

Damn the entire thread actually conflicts with rule 2

>>1106 my thoughts exactly LOL. like brother just post them. acting like the government is gonna ICBM his house for pirating books.

>>1102 >The New World Order You gonna conquer the world? Can I join in???

>>1109 Yes I will conquer the world and establish a world government but it will be an one to stop the new world order. Yes you can totally join in

>>1110 What's the mission, sir?

>>1085 how bad my privacy is on windows now? I already don't have the schizo level of privacy, but I still try to use things like ungoogled chromium. I disabled all the telemetry, deleted edge and copilot etc.

>>1087 >how bad my privacy is on windows now? Not bad really, only it would take them exactly one click to enter your system because all mass market proprietary software is backdoored, and the backdoors are coordinated by you know what government. I'm not sure linux in a panacea but it seems since linux is used exclusively in privacy conscious scenarios, it is more expensive to enter a linux machine. Though if you use your usual systemd with gnome/kde, you don't win much, since all of them are designed as malware as well. If you think open source cannot be openly malware you're dead wrong. Simply make unnecessarily complex and over engineered """solution""" and call your backdoors """"zero day RCEs"""" and chill. Since moving away from systemd is not possible and since it seems Linus is going to be deposed in upcoming years, I doubt you win anything by switching to linux. I'll probably keep some kernel tarballs just in case, but I think software freedom is doomed and unless something happens with the world, we will not be able to own our own system anymore.

>moving away from systemd is not possible Though if somebody replaces elogind and udev in a functional manner and presents clean software at the same time, please ping me. t. devuan user

>>1087 depends on your threat level. for the majority of people what you're doing is fine. if your threat level is something more casual like "i want to stop companies from selling my data for algorithms" then you can still do that to a satisfying degree on an LTSC install with disabling scripts. using trusted, open source software (like ungoogled chromium/librewolf, libreoffice, krita) and healthy amounts of caution online will be a good effort. if you want to go even further you can use invidious, nitter, and other alternative frontends for data hogging sites. the hikarin above me is correct in the sense that you can't really hide from the government, but that is not within most people's threat level (including mine).

>>1088 >>1094 thanks for the elaborate response anons.

Somehow.

>>1053 it's called TUI, in principle you can make one just using your terminal's protocol. there are libraries like pdcurses, termbox2, crossterm or ncurses that include utility functions and add a compatibility layer so you don't have to learn the different terminal protocols. and then there are higher level libraries that even come with widgets and multi-platform input handling like tuibox, libtickit*, libvaxis or ratatui* these last two don't depend on any curses emulator and use their own, significantly less bloated, stacks there is also imtui if you want a terminal backend for imgui *: c **: zig ***: rust

I think I dreamed about programming something like this in C Weird

How much time did it take to finish? Great rice btw.

>>966 Ngl it only took me about a week after installing hyprland for the first time to get the bulk of it done. But tbf, i had been using kde for the better part of a year before switching.

hyperland is a waste of cpu usage and too much desktop effects

It has no soul tbh, very bland. looks like any other rice. 5/10

>>959 looks very well done very sleek too. though i am more a fan of skeuomorphism but hey, that is just me i guess
