  • Copying my comment to OP below - it might be worth checking:

    Check your inotify maximums - this is the system which monitors directory contents and notifies applications of changes. These maximums used to be pretty low, but should be high enough for most users these days. Do you tend to work with multiple directories containing lots of files?

    See what you get when you run these two commands:

    sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches
    sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances
    

    You can increase them temporarily like so and see if it helps:

    sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
    sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=1024
    

    If it does help, add to /etc/sysctl.conf (or a file in /etc/sysctl.d/).

  • a landmark game and that alone is a reason to play it

    It’s a really pretty game that gives you a small taste of what it must’ve been like to be a roaming varmint in the early days of the US.

    The missions feel very much on rails IMO. Several have just felt to me like a shooting gallery at a funfair.

    I admittedly haven’t got very far - maybe 25% - and what put me off a bit was how the game handles a bounty on your head. Bounty hunters seem to spawn randomly near you, and have supernatural abilities to home in on you. I tried sneaking up on them to pick them off one by one, but that just triggers more and more to spawn in. It really seemed like the GTA “Wanted” mechanic with increasing stars, and it kinda killed the immersion for me.




  • I’ve driven a little around Portugal, and their roads were the worst I’ve ever driven on. Not just potholes, but the roads were often wonky and/or not flat (think like undulations like waves as you’re driving along), missing road markings etc. The quality drop was really noticeable when you drove from Spain into Portugal. It was about 8 years ago so it’s possible they’ve really got their act together since then, but I’m skeptical about how reliable their data is if Portugal is listed as the country with the 5th best roads in the world…
