I tested it with the same game but connecting to another server which doesn't do it this way and it worked perfectly well... For hours.. so it's specifically that launcher and what it does that's broken. Phew.

Hey #FreeBSD gamers! Trying to use #wine (-devel, 10.13) on 14.3-Release but it seems to not support my Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) after installing with winetricks dxvk

Any ideas? Am I stuck on Mesa (GL) only?

England’s sparkling wine industry is growing but struggling — burdened by small-scale operations, high costs and tough competition from established global brands like Champagne and Prosecco. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/18/world/englands-sparkling-wine-industry-starts-to-struggle/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #england #wine #trade #champaign #agriculture #food

Something that could exist, but does not (as far as I know):

coffee wine (wine brewed with the pulp of the coffee fruit)

Essentially you'd take the fruit juice from the coffee pulp, and ferment it like a fruit wine.

It's been a while since I looked at #WINE on #FreeBSD. I installed wine-devel 10.12 and noticed the game I had tried to get working made the vm.aslr_restarts counter (which is read-only) increase when I ran the game.

I tried with another game which I know works and the counter didn't increase.

So it seems aslr is interfering with this game. I set all the variables containing 'aslr' to 0 in sysctl. No change. The vm.aslr_restarts counter still went up. Even tried 'elfctl +noaslr /use/local/bin/wine64.bin'.

Still no change. It seems aslr can't be disabled for WINE for some reason.

Anyone have any ideas?

In 35 years of living in or visiting Japan I’ve never seen sake offered at a hotel for breakfast, ever. Since I’m on vacation and haven’t had a proper drink yet, yes, yes I did try all 3. 😋
My verdict was the Sugidama from Momokawa is the perfect balance for Japanese breakfast pairing. 👍 #japan #aomori #sake #wine

Note the sign says “Sake in the morning.”

This cannot be a coincidence.

Producers of Italy's renowned Chianti wine have demanded a new export strategy targeting markets such as South America, Asia and Africa following U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of additional tariffs on imports. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/15/markets/italy-chianti-wine-asia-tariff/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #italy #chianti #wine #us #donaldtrump #trade #southamerica #asia #tariffs #spain

Kirin Holdings’ wine unit will stop selling Beaujolais Nouveau in Japan, where the early-release wine has clung on to popularity even after its global boom in the 1980s waned. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/10/companies/kirin-beaujolais-nouveau-stop/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #kirin #wine #beaujolaisnouveau #alcohol

Have been messing around with #wine on #FreeBSD .. it doesn't seem to run a certain game. I noticed its launcher is patching a .DLL in memory and it looks like FreeBSD doesn't allow this (which is probably a great security feature) but it's breaks the game. Any ideas on how to fix?

I wish there was a place with an explanation of all the knobs and dials in FreeBSD's sysctl, loader.conf etc
