SpotX Pacman Hook

For example put it into: /etc/pacman.d/hooks/spotx.hook

Tested with spotx-git + spotify AUR packages.

This hook will re-run spotx after every Spotify or SpotX update (both of which warrant it, as Spotify will override the files to stock, and updated SpotX might fix bugs or add support for new Spotify versions).

The -f flag has to be used, since otherwise the script will exit with an error after SpotX was updated, but Spotify was not, the error informing you that the patch was already performed. The -f flag will cause the SpotX script to firstly restore the backup that it has previously made, and only then apply the patch, ensuring that the patches apply cleanly on the current version once again.

So say that you have been running your TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 or 23.10 or older happily with your TrueCharts apps installed (as happy as you could be with that buggy mess of a project).

You either stuck with 23.10 Cobia, because you didn't want to bother doing yet another TrueCharts troublesome migration where they removed did something with PVC rearrangement and expected you to re-setup all your apps yet again (!), or you upgraded to 24.04 Fangtooth either while ignoring these instructions and apps still kept on working or running the PVC migration script as intended.

You kept your apps config storages to PVC as that was a simple default. _{(You start to grow a certain regret of not using host path mounts for everything from the beginning, but that's all water in drain now.)}

Now you want to backup that data so that you can move to Docker-based apps in upcoming 24.10 Electric Eel release flawlessly and gracefully, and be happy everafter.

This tutorial and a bunch of pointers here is for you then

[WIP] Origin 9.x restoration

This gist documents my research into booting up that old EA Origin client and having it working again. It is incomplete and I currently give up for now, and this gist serves as a bit of info dump in case someone (like me) wants to pick this up again in the future.

Old origin urls

Legacy channel

Those were supported for a short moment after the new Origin 10.x (OriginX) was already out. They didn't include the social features/chat anymore.

Running Titanfall 2 (+Northstar) / Titanfall 1 in Sandboxie for increased security

In the light of recent events regarding an unclear exploit existing between Titanfall/Origin, and since neither Source Engine itself or Respawn/EA are known for their good security track records, I decided it will be a good idea to write a tutorial on how to run the game and Origin in a sandboxed environment, when even if the worst came to the worst, your system and data would still be secure and you could sleep calmly. Even though we try to fix any security vulnerabilities in Titanfall/Titanfall 2 as soon as they're uncovered, nobody can ever guarantee guarantee the game is 100% secure (just like with virtually any software honestly), and running things sandboxed will let you combat any dangers and prevent any damage ahead of time, before any danger is even known.

If you're slightly paranoid about possible security issues and want to sleep calmly while enjoying Titanfalls, you came to the right place. On the other hand, if
