#wine on #freebsd working better. I discovered there are patches done to the game from a launcher make it run out of memory or just use the 2GB addressing in RAM.

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.

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

Si vous jouez à des jeux Windows sous Linux dans Wine, faites-bien attention à laisser les DPI à 96 (dans winecfg).
Sans cela, j'ai eu des choses bizarres, comme des jeux qui ne parviennent pas à utiliser la résolution native de l'écran.
(Typiquement : des jeux qui démarrent en 1280x720 sur un écran 1920x1080, et impossible de les passer en 1920x1080 même en forçant dans les réglages des jeux)

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.

FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE releng/14.3-n271432-8c9ce319fef7

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.”

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
