How to launch games via Proton from CLI (useful for debug)

In just 2 steps

First. Run this:

export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata

Second. Now in the same terminal, run your game (this example: Raft)

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Raft/Raft.exe

Make psi-translation videos

Short file on how to make psi-transition videos with StyleGan2. This assumes you are already able to run StyleGan2.

Edit generator

Edit generate_images() in run_generator.py to iterate through psi values instead of seeds.

Many tools do not fully remove metadata, but just remove the link with in the metadata table. The data are thus still available in the PDF file itself.

While a lot of people rely on Exiftool to remove metadata, it actually does the same in PDFs. If you remove metadata with exiftool -all= some.pdf, you can always restore the data with exiftool -pdf-update:all= some.pdf.

There are several options to remove PDF metadata safely:

Option 1 : Exiftool with qpdf

Remove metadata with exiftool : exiftool -all= some.pdf
Then remove ununsed objects with qpdf : qpdf --linearize some.pdf - > some.cleaned.pdf
