rbisewski | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Sleeping Beauty, a 7-day roguelike game
I've always enjoyed roguelikes and probably spent dozens of hours playing them. My current favourites include more modern takes on the genre like "Caves of Qud" and "FTL".
I sort of casually develop one in golang these days, progress is not quick since this is just a small side project I do for the fun of it:

Feel free to mess around with my code if it helps anyone develop their own game.

Rather fun read, I must say.
It really seems like it makes sense that browsers really "need" the bloat; it has got to the point where it ends up being the most useful and most used application on any OS, for a given section of the end-user base, anyway.
At that point can we really call those features bloat? Maybe in 1996 you didn't need to play videos much, but a web browser without HTML 5 can't do what the majority would expect. What users expect from the internet has very much expanded.
I actually was curious about some of the inner workings of this stuff and made a browser using WebKit once.

All-in-all one of the more unusual side projects I played with.

Eventually I just looked into some kernel docs decided that setting the IOMMU mode to pt during bootup might work. Specifically, I added the following to my grub config.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=pt"
Not sure if this will help any of you, but it did completely eliminate the problems I had.
Shameless plug, wrote a blog about my investigations into it:
