Variable Address with GDB

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to search for a variable address using GDB. I understand this is very broad but I have a massive list of variables from a program and I need to find their address. Is there a command in GDB which allows one to do this?

wutag - CLI tool to tag files

Hi!

I've written a simple tool that allows one to tag files (under the hood uses xattrs) using glob patterns. Later one can search for files containing specified tags. It's pretty bare-bones for now, just the core functionality without many useful flags.

I also left a disclaimer in the repo because extended attributes are known to be problematic to preserve when doing any sort of file transfers between different filesystems so keep that in mind. If you only use one type like ext4 then you'll be perfectly fine as long as you remember to add alias cp='cp --preserve=xattr', mv for example preserves them by default.

Let me know what you think and if you perhaps end up giving it a try any suggestions as issues in the repository are welcome, thanks! :)

Platformer game with level editor - Super Bombinhas

Hi all!

For those who like platform games and/or like to use their creativity, my platformer Super Bombinhas now includes a level editor!

https://preview.redd.it/zai8alp6csm61.png?width=1372&format=png&auto=webp&s=af29de064f6b90953523300c797b3f6274ec3f58

It allows you to create levels using every element that I used in the original levels. There are 70 types of objects and 57 types of enemies that you can include.

Check the post here.

The download page has a package for Debian-based distros, but the game is open source so it should be easy to get it running in many distros.

I hope you have fun with this new update!

Questions about moving to Linux:

Hello!
I am looking to move to Linux after hearing that it's less bloated, and more optimised.

I'm currently on a Windows 10 laptop and windows got buggy from nowhere, the support is awful etc.

I heard a lot of good things about Linux but don't know how to pick which version I want.

I'm a student, and usually use the laptop for casual things like gaming, emailing etc.

Here are my specs:
8GB RAM DDDR3

500GB HDD storage

Intel Core i5 2430M @ 2.40 Ghz

AMD Radeon 7400M series 1GB Vram, and Intel HD 3000 Integrated Graphics


I basically only need something reliable to run League of Legends (I know that it's not natively supported but has workarounds), Minecraft and any browser, preferably Mozilla Firefox

I also need to know if there is a way to install Linux without any CD/USB drives, maybe installing it directly from my PC? And if there is a way, how do I remove residual Windows files once I completely moved to Linux.
Thanks to everyone in advance!

How do you exit Terminal?

I used to exit terminal by explicitly typing "exit". Sometimes, I just closed with Mouse. But recently, I started closing with Ctrl + D (I found about it recently). Ctrl + D basically is EOF (End of File). I'm sure most of you guys already know about this. But for the unknown, This post is for them.

Save some key strokes :)

x86 Emulator Options for High Performqnce ARM64

I have been playing around with an ARM64 workstation, the Solidrun Honeycomb LX2K. It is a UEFI capable 16-core A72 board with 2GHz cores, and I am running 32GB of DDR4 RAM with a 1TB NVMe SSD. Running Debian 11 on kernel 5.10.x with an AMD WX 2100 GPU.

I am a beginner to intermediate linux user, and moat guides I have found on this are either specific to Raspberry or are outdated. I am looking for any software or virtualization based solutions, whether wine (hangover) based, qemu, or other options.

My issue is translating RPi guides to my generic aarch64 build, or finding a guide I can use for this platform. My main goal is to run 32-bit x86 programs, graphical acceleration being a bonus. My main applications are running proprietary medical software built for 32bit Windows.

Thanks in advance for any info!
