Fallout 3 Mac OS X on WINE. STALKER Call of Pripyat Mac OS X on WINE.

Windows-only games on Mac OS X

Achieved with WINE. None of the online tutorials were sufficient so I created this.

Games and settings

I've played the following Windows-only games with zero performance issues.

  • Fallout 3 GOTY Edition
  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

On Ubuntu 16.04, since iOS 10 update, libimobiledevice can't connect to my iPhone. This is my attempt to document a fix.

Why this document?

I upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 10 and could no longer retrieve photos from it. This was unacceptable for me so I worked at achieving retrieving my photos. This document is my story (on Ubuntu 16.04).

The solution is to compile libimobiledevice and ifuse from source.

Connecting my SENA device via USB on Linux to update the firmware

Update SENA from Linux

In May, 2016, I completely switched all of my home computing environments to Linux. As a result, I've had to find workarounds for things which require Windows. This article outlines my first attempt to update my SENA 10S helmet communicator from KUbuntu 16.04 Linux.

What works and what doesn't

If you follow this guide, I'll state up front what success you'll expect.

  • Installing the Sena Device Manager works.
  • Connecting SENA 10S via USB works.

Compiling git

The version of git that comes with RHEL6 is very old. I'll outline steps for compiling the latest git version on RHEL6. Working from /usr/local/src.

Following instructions for Git Pro book Getting Started Installing Git.

Prerequisites

yum install gcc curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker

Optional man page prereqs.

How to build the pirates campaign

Background Information

What is Docker?

Docker provides portable development environments (among many other uses but for Endless Sky this is a key feature). It enables you to bring all of your dependencies to compile endless sky into a docker container so that you do not need them to be installed on your main operating system.

Install Docker Engine for Linux

Follow these instructions https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Adding certificate authorities to Ubuntu 12.04

Overview

If you're able to visit a website and it successfully validates but you're not able to curl the website (i.e. you get certificate validation errors) then it is likely because your root certificate, or intermediate certificate, or both are not trusted in your system. Ubuntu provides an easy process for updating the root certificate stores using the update-ca-certificates command and the /etc/ca-certificates.conf for configuration.

Add CA and Intermediates to Ubuntu

Certificates should be installed under /usr/share/ca-certificates. You should create a directory for your org to place all certs and intermediates.

mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/my.org/
