Hi, everyone. Founder of ChimeraOS here. For the past 6 months I have been working on a new passion project and I am finally ready to announce it today. A new Linux-based gaming operating system called "Kazeta" - the Czech word for “cassette”.

Kazeta came from a few things I have been thinking about lately:

• I noticed a lot of non-technical people using ChimeraOS/SteamOS getting lost in Steam’s complex menu structure and struggling with basic things like launching and closing games.

• I became disenchanted with digital storefronts and have come back around to appreciating physical media: game cartridges, CDs, DVDs

• I have gotten more and more into collecting old physical games and systems and found them to be a much more pleasant experience than what modern gaming offers

• I have become more and more concerned with preserving my digital game collection for play in the future.

Kazeta is a gaming operating system like no other. It solves for all of the above by recreating the experience of using a ‘90s gaming console, only with modern PC games and hardware.

The basic idea is that you install individual DRM-free games on real physical “cartridges” which can be any external storage media, but I recommend full size SD cards because they look and feel like cartridges and can be relatively easily labelled.

To play a game cartridge on Kazeta, you simply insert the cartridge and turn on the system. When you are done playing, you press the power button to turn it off. That’s it. There are no accounts, no online requirements, no cloud, no nothing.

The cherry on top is that the cartridges are treated as read-only and save data is captured separately, keeping your games untouched and preserved forever.

If you boot a Kazeta system with no cartridge inserted, it will boot into a retro-style bios menu where you can manage your game saves, just like the gaming consoles from the latter half of the ‘90s.

Kazeta is definitely not for everyone. It requires a bit of work to get started, but I have been using it quite a bit the last few months and it has brought me a lot of joy. I hope it can bring joy to others as well.

Thanks!

Looks like it’s time to grow:

As someone who last tried No Man's Sky out about 5 years ago, it looks like it's time to give it another shot.

QwenEdit InStyle is a LoRA fine-tune for QwenEdit that significantly improves its ability to generate images based on a style reference. While the base model has style transfer capabilities, it often misses the nuances of styles and can transplant unwanted details from the input image. This LoRA addresses these limitations to provide more accurate style-based image generation.

A shooter opened fire Wednesday morning during Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 other people before dying by suicide, officials said.

Police said 14 of the injured were children, with their ages ranging from 6 to 15, and they are all expected to survive. The three adults who were injured are parishioners in their 80s, officials said.

The shooting happened at Annunciation Catholic School, just days after the first day of school on Monday.

“It’s my strongest desire that no state, no community, no school ever experiences a day like this,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said.

The White House said in a social media post that Trump ordered flags at half-staff for all government buildings until sunset on Sunday “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence.”

**The location**: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children sitting in the pews during Mass.

The shooter: O’Hara identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, adding that Westman had no prior criminal history and is believed to have acted alone, law enforcement reported. O’Hara said authorities are going through online videos attributed to Westman, posted around the time of the shooting. The content has now been taken down.

The school: Founded in 1923, Annunciation Catholic School had 391 students enrolled for the 2023-24 school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The school goes from pre-K to eighth grade.

In the lead-up to Labor Day in the United States, President Donald Trump escalated his attack on the union rights of federal employees with an executive order that claims to "enhance" national security.

Is there any way hijacked tasks can read your other files? I assume BOINC uses some kind of sandbox but how secure is it? All my stuff run Linux if that makes a difference.
