Help identifying an old game?

Help identifying an old game? - Lemmy.world

I’ve been trying to find a game that I played probably 10 or so years ago. I thought the name was digiminer or digimon or something like that but I know it’s not those games. The game (from what I remember) was about mining as a robot or in a ship of some sort. It was 2d. Whenever you mined areas it dropped pixels to be picked up that you had to fly/jump/move over to. I think it had a vacuum that you equipped to grab everything? You could upgrade and such to mine faster/larger and have a better pickup area. The mining area was mainly on the right side of the screen I think, the left side was all empty. The game was fully free, and I’m pretty sure that to run it you had it all downloaded in a file then ran the .exe. I could be getting some of the ideas wrong, it’s been a long time since I played or saw the game If anyone can help identify this game I’d appreciate it! I’ve been trying to find it for a few years, I remember it being a fun time sink

Ran into an issue with the latest arch Linux update, how to prevent in the futur - Lemmy.world

I’ve been using Linux for the better part of 4 years so I’m not new to it, but I’ve always learned stuff on an as-needed basis. Today I ran into an issue that I want to prevent in the future since I had a mini heart attack thinking about how my last backup on this system was… Never since I’m an idiot who forgot to set it up like I have on my laptop. Here are my steps: - Ran sudo pacman -Syu; sudo pacman -Syy like I do every few days - packages updated - restarted computer - can only boot into emergency mode The journal was really long so I moved past it and went to the pacman logs, linux had updated from 6.4.3.1-1 to 6.4.3.1-2. Nothing else was important enough to cause the system to only boot into emergency (gcc, vbox, some libs) so I did a quick pacman -U to the cached 6.4.3.1-1 version for both Linux and Linux headers and rebooted - hurrah it was fixed! But I have no idea why it happened, or how to prevent it. Has anyone else ran into this issue when updating? Any advice for preventing future crashes or issues like this so I don’t fear updating?
