Glad to see a Black and white open source recreation, but you’re correct in this regard. I have black and white on my PC right now in a dark corner.

It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.

Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you’re working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it’s awfully nice to have it.

Anyone who owned doom 1 and doom 2 got a new item in their steam or gog library with damn near everything included including stuff like sigil and a new episode they just made.

There’s a new doom 2 RTX mod that clips into that version and it combines ray tracing with voxel art to give the most impressive raycast doom 2 I’ve imagined so far. Well worth a look especially since it’s free for a lot of gamers.

I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn’t bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.

From a non-partisan standpoint, we’re cutting it really close. Most alarm lights that haven’t had masking tape put over them by the government are screaming imminent stagflationary depression, maybe one of the worst in American History, and everyone with eyes and basic math skills can see the looming sovereign debt crisis. Nobody wants to be holding this hot potato because whoever is in power at that time is almost certainly going to preside over a disaster and there’s nothing to be done about it.

From a totally non-partisan standpoint, Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate for President. She speaks to the American Public like they’re 4 year olds, her record as Vice President is basically free real estate for the Republicans, she was the least liked vice president in US history, her only primary campaign was the weakest of all the Democrats on stage with her dropping out first, There are better people within the Democratic party to run, but they didn’t and they aren’t – instead they installed Kamala more or less by fiat. I think part of the reason for that is they’re not stupid and they know full well winning the next election is a phyrric victory, and whoever is president during that term is effectively ending their political career so might as well let the weakest candidate either lose and end her career or win and end her career. In so doing, they keep their powder dry for the next viable election cycle.

Notwithstanding concerns that Trump will try to crown himself dictator (concerns that I think the conservative response to January 6th prove unfounded – conservatives want to conserve the constitution and violating that would not go over well), he’s only got one term left as president, and he’s getting quite old so this is probably his last kick at the can so regardless of whether the party wants to win or not, he clearly does. He seems to be going all-in on a big tent strategy this time, which is why he’s brought former democrats like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard into the fold and adopted compromise positions on wedge issues such as abortion. Personally, as long as he retains his core identity and brand, I think it’s a winning strategy, insofar as such a thing can exist.

So I’m significantly ahead in the light novels and let me tell you something: He just parried an elder god to death, and he’s still pretty oblivious. I haven’t read the very very latest novel yet, but I’m sure he’s not going to undergo any kind of major epiphany and become brilliant.

It’s the core humorous concept of the series, that he’s a strange person who has no sense of common sense.

Honestly, they probably should. It’s.crazy all the privacy sites that seem to just hammer the pirate web manga sites.

New LN came out recently too. Eating well this summer!

Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn’t the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you’re straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that’s the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.

In Trigun, I always thought that the disconnect between Vash pretending to be lecherous and the reality of him pretending to be passed out when girls come up to actually do something with him shows it’s part of his facade and adds a lot of depth to what could otherwise be a shallow character trait.

Always seems self-evident that equipment you don’t own and control isn’t going to work on your behalf.

“Like, you can say, ‘Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,’ right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income,”

Bahahahaha

You’ve convinced me. Let’s eliminate child labor laws.

It always seemed kinda sus, glad I started a matrix homeserver instead.

I should learn SDL2…

When I’m using linux, I do something similar, I just sync’d my home folder as my nextcloud directory and that similarly made all my files available.

The way I’ve got it set up is I have a Nextcloud\Desktop, Nextcloud\Downloads, Nextcloud\Documents, Nextcloud\Pictures, and Nextcloud\Videos folder, and on each machine I use I point each of those points in windows to use the folder in the nextcloud folder instead of my users folder, then I run the official client to sync the entire nextcloud folder. By doing that, whichever computer I’m on I’ve got the same stuff in my main folders and anything else I have I can keep in the nextcloud folder. I’ve also got it on my mobile device just to automatically upload new pictures to the InstantUploads folder, but the app is a bit limited.

I live equally on the road working as at home, and I’ve got completely different computers for home and travel, so in this way I’ve always got all my files available since once I start up the computer it automatically starts pulling the local files. If you don’t want a full copy of everything on both machines, I think you can tell it to just create links of the files and the client will download the files from the server as they’re required, but I prefer having a local copy of the files myself.

I use nextcloud for syncing between different computers, because I tend to have different machines that are far separated geographically, and it works well. I put all my home folders on each computer into the nextcloud directory so I have all the same files everywhere I go and if I don’t have one of my computers I can still log in and access those files.

I used to use nextcloud as my solution for everything, but a big problem with photos is it isn’t really very navigable, and a problem with nextcloud as a general platform is everything is a plugin so if the plugin doesn’t get updated you can be stuck on an older version of the software which carries its own risks. As well, given the interface, You have your media but you can’t really go back and look at it. What I did instead is I set up a library in jellyfin with all my photos sorted into directories, and you can scroll and navigate through them fairly intuitively. I pulled my data out of google and facebook before deleting the accounts and so had many many photos but no way to really enjoy them, but that solution worked really well for me and I’ve been able to look at my old photos easily.

No worries, I’ve done the same at times.
