I play #videogames and sometimes leave the house. For work, I do security things for a WordPress host, which means I'm always busy. Talk to me about #retrogaming, #retrocomputing, #arcade games, and recreational #sysadmin.

Last Notes npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…rtl5 @nprofile…uu72 @nprofile…nd7w @nprofile…ulnl @nprofile…g3jv @nprofile…4p4l @nprofile…f747 @nprofile…fush I like tap-to-pay for one specific reason: I'm under the impression that they don't transfer your actual card number, but a temporary one that's a token for the transaction. That means that any fraudulent use becomes the issuer/merchant's problem, you don't have to put your life on hold while you wait for a new card to be sent out. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…rtl5 What's the USB HW ID when you plug it into a PC? My wife's Pixel 4 failed in this way - to a "pre bootloader" state that is apparently salvageable with commercial tools that used to exist on the internet but don't seem to any more. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! We took the dog for a walk, now we have to do a grocery run, where the dog cannot go. Tiabeanie is like "I remember when I had a family that loved me... seven minutes ago..." #dogsofmastodon #dogs https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/116/977/736/759/082/833/original/0e108693e696487b.jpg npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…rtl5 Ahh yeah I think it's basically "cat5e if you're poor or cat7" these days, I'm not aware of anyone that recommends cat6 any more 🤣 We did this house here with cat5e because I was in a hurry and it was all anywhere local had. But yeah, damn, those cables should be behind glass with the rest of Ea-nasir's stuff, but they're probably fine anyways! npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! We have a Fisher and Paykel heat pump dryer and tbh it's the biggest piece of shit... it went back for six weeks because it developed a squeal under warranty, and now it's about a year out of warranty and it still works but it sounds like a sex toy left on top of an empty vending machine. Searching for it there's like four other videos of theirs doing the same thing and not one has any resolution. So I guess I'll take this piece of shit apart this weekend... npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…rtl5 cat5 or cat5e? If the latter, homelab/homenetwork people clutch their pearls way too much at it... you can run ten-gig over it the vast majority of the time. cat5 proper I haven't seen in many a year but I imagine it's similar values of "fine" for gige too. Not sure either are going to outlive the rug though. :ohno: npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…e92q Nier Automata is such a masterpiece, it's one of like five games where after I 100%ed it I felt a genuine sense of grief. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…8cjr @nprofile…wqzx @nprofile…m06y Yeah I think the JP SFC is the same as ours, it's *just* the US one that's weird? And when I say weird, I mean weird, I couldn't find this plug anywhere so to power my wife's childhood SNES I used a regular barrel jack in place of the RFU to make room. 😭 https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/116/087/911/753/937/283/original/d95463576fef0e60.jpg npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…8cjr @nprofile…wqzx @nprofile…m06y Hey Jan, this doesn't apply to the US SNES. It has a very different PSU plug and uses 10v DC, not the same as the NES (which does use the and as the PAL models). npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…u76z It was like that before I looked at it! npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…rtl5 @nprofile…w945 Yeah it's wrong, I was told this crap at an official day course thingo to get my cabling ticket for a labour hire gig in the 90s and it was wrong then too. UTP specifically rejects this sort of interference. The real reason you don't have them near each other, and if they must cross you do it at 90 degrees etc, is so a rogue nail, shovel, or bolt cutter does not accidentally energize comms cabling with mains AC. That's it. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…x4wz It's not presently running at the moment but I have an Xserve 1,1 with OpenBSD! :louise_laugh: G4 PowerPC, I think 512MB of RAM. No separate disks, I only have one real caddy and the PATA ones are rare as rocking horse shit, if you can find them on eBay they're basically about five times what I paid for the whole machine. I had SSH on it, that's it... because 512MB of RAM and 200W of energy/heat/noise is too much 24/7. But it's neato! npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…mfuv @nprofile…v3ms @nprofile…qv2d On the plus side, finding the problem connection with a thinnet is a good practical example of a binary search vs a linear search. :blobcatknife: npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…sgqn "I'm just gonna swing my vine around in a nastic movement and if you get clung to then it's *your* fault!" npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…lptk @nprofile…5jwt Correct, it doesn't - mostly - "just wear out". In fact one of the reasons you can pick up cooling performance by repasting with aftermarket paste (and in some cases delidding) is because the TIM selected by OEMs trades raw performance for longevity, they want it to last the life of the CPU/machine. But it *can* happen that the paste crumbles, pumps out due to cycling, leaves voids, etc, and repasting can fix those for sure. But make sure there's actually a problem first. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…2mzm @nprofile…7hjs Yep, should be able to just set `inactive` in `proxy_cache_path` (or per response type with `proxy_cache_valid`, so eg I do 200s for 1d and 404s for 5 minutes) really high and it should just "so the right thing". If the disk cache gets full it'll purge the LRU to make space for newer items. I use this in front of my Mastodon instance to save my upstream back when I was on VDSL and it seems to work okay. It should accept a value of say 10y to be effectively permanent. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…el4d @nprofile…rl7t Oh that rules! npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…el4d @nprofile…rl7t Do you have three different brands of battery-operated powertools? Respect for not mindlessly buying into an ecosystem and living there (it's me, I bought a used Ryobi once and I didn't feel like keeping more than one set of batteries straight) 😅 npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…xugm Yeah I think your insider friend is wrong, as by all credible accounts Hotmail was FreeBSD on the front-end and Solaris stuff on the back-end (and I mostly only heard about FreeBSD being used). npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…el4d 1.2GB isn't a lot of torrents....? oh... OH.... npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…q5wq If you want to copy their homework, picocss has pure-CSS system darkmode detection in it. Dunno how hard it would be to swipe? (I didn't end up switching my site to it yet, so I too am committing the "dark mode for everyone" sin, but I found picocss to be pretty neat, hopefully the creator isn't a jerk or pack of jerks) https://picocss.com/docs npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…3kq5 Well compared to console ecosystems, a machine running Windows does have a lot more freedom. So they're not *really* wrong. The underlying meaning with the way Windows is going these days is "we'll fix that eventually, but for now you plebs can have your fun". 😂 npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…d2rl Our system isn't perfect, but yeah it's a shock coming from the USA ain't it npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…hzxe @nprofile…tslx U-blox's software lets you do absolute crimes with these devices, it's awesome. Like my time server is a U-blox mini PCIe in a PCEngines APU, and I don't have a windows machine to run the software that also has a card slot for it. So I run socat to forward the serial port over the network, connect via that from a Windows laptop, and I can set position hold, turn on PPS, etc. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…w042 This is ringing a bell for Macfrugal's/Pic-n-Save from the west coast in 90s/2000s, but honestly they're pretty generic tags so I think my experience is probably inconclusive... npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…jkcn Is it that someone forgot htonl() or whatever? npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…d0vx We still okay to make landlord pinatas though, or no? npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…d2rl Will you need a dining table? I've got one that's real wood and everything, it's only a "four person" though and that's being pretty generous, but for an apartment it might work if you even need one. I'll be using it as a desk over Xmas but after that it'll be about time to move it on, if it's helpful I can save it for ya. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @nprofile…dpy5 @nprofile…xm2e The worst part is never knowing whether the bluescreen or spontaneous reboot is a dodgy update, your hardware dying, or just the result of your overclock being not *quite* stable, even though you ran [cpu thrashing program] for 72 hours to validate it. npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @npub13n4…3h2h Oh hey I forgot to tell you something pretty turned up last week! https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/113/104/552/244/190/324/original/3a26b896e2a7e2de.jpg npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @npub1up2…k6en I loved these. This was one of the series where you could pull the CDROM module out and stuff a floppy drive or second battery in yeah? npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! For #caturday - a throwback. https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/737/586/933/046/765/original/55a648b4245543c5.jpg npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @npub1kr5…nwzy So no Blast City, got it. Astro City is fine yeah? npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! Next up on SGDQ: Milkshake Duck! Time starts in 3... 2... 1... Dev: Okay guys here's my new browser engine that's for anyone sick of corporate monoculture. Women: Hi! Dev: Not you lot... and..... time! npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! Spending some time this morning with our local branch manager. #dogs #dogsofmastodon https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/340/137/579/479/449/original/3239f9ab36459b92.jpg https://moodoo.org/system/media_attachments/files/112/340/138/105/239/615/original/7613e575f7220649.jpg npub1c49yfpv6thhsleg5ntansgkrh3mguspa8na2xzvxwn3dp27n4r0snc096n fraggLe! @npub1kpw…xzz4 @npub1242…l2hp @npub1dzv…5v2p Are your properties cross-collateralized against each other? It may be regional too, but it probably mainly affects large portfolios that are tied up in each other. I'm told this is also the reason why in some areas they will do things like "sign a three year lease and we'll give you 12 months free", then when the lease is up the tenant moves to another store under the same arrangement. Just giving you 1/3rd off makes the bank nervous.
