Hopefully it’s better than the NYC store. That place was just sad when I was there last month. Sure, the little display of all their past consoles/handhelds was neat, but all the larger figurines had massive signs saying do not touch. Meanwhile, the Lego store just a few blocks away allowed you to take pictures right next to Lego creations like the hulk, and even let you get in a Lego taxi cab.
Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an ansible.builtin.get_url
to download the compose file before doing the rest.
What is with tone deaf users named sp.*z
?
Adding to the Nazi comment - substack is basically a long form blog format, very similar (AFAICT) to Medium.
It’s anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don’t discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there’s often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.
It’s definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.
Oh definitely. I’m sure backblaze and the like will pick these right up.
I remember reading an interesting take on the 20TB drives when they came out - the impact of drive failure skyrockets with large density drives.
Back with 2TB drives, you could fit 60-70 Blu-ray rips. If that drive dies (without backups/RAID), you’ll be hurting but not as bad as if you have a filled 20TB with 600-700 rips. Plus, even with RAID, the rebuild time increases with density, and for 20TB drives you could be waiting a week for rebuild.
I like the idea of higher density drives, but in my opinion they only really make sense in large drive arrays where you can spread the data over dozens and dozens of replicated drives.
Mine was Skies of Arcadia - I know it also came out on GameCube, but I first played it on the Dreamcast. It was also (somehow) my first experience with a jrpg.
How are we supposed to opt out? By deleting our accounts?
I agree, but it’s a hard pill to swallow that Meta is the best partner to grow the fediverse. There are real lessons to learn from Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (look at XMPP and Google), not to mention privacy concerns and content moderation issues that seem to be a “feature” for Meta products vs bugs.
I’m not sure what Zuck is up to, but for whatever it’s worth I think the best think the fediverse can do is be somewhat reactive to Meta’s movements.
If instances start getting overwhelmed with content, then block.
If Meta starts showing signs of EEE, then instances can block.
And us users can move to instances that we feel match our personal stances on things - hate Facebook like the plague? Look at one of the defederated/blocking instances. Do you miss interacting with a larger audience? Stay on instances that are embracing (or withholding judgment) the Meta federation.
It’s a complex topic to be sure, and the only way we’ll know the right way to deal with it is with the benefit of hindsight in a few years
Not the OP, but Eternal September references the massive culture impact on Usenet when ISPs started lowering the barrier to joining the then somewhat exclusive forum-esque part of the internet.
Yeah, after the yuzu debacle, if I were anywhere close to the gray side of piracy I would pull down any and all links to funding.
I’m not sure how you would actually get that necessary funding - maybe through discord links periodically?
I didn’t intend to use it on the chest freezer - it was mostly for the modem, but since I had spare battery capacity and outlets I thought what the heck.
The power load is practically nothing until it cycles, and even then it’s fairly efficient - my current runtime is estimated to be about 18 hours, more than enough to come up with an alternative if we lose power in a storm.
Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.
While I appreciate the sentiment, most traditional VMs do not like to have their power killed (especially non-journaling file systems).
Even crash consistent applications can be impacted if the underlying host fs is affected by power loss.
I do think that backup are a valid suggestion here, provided that the backup is an interrupted by a power surge or loss.
I agree that 99.999% uptime is a pipedream for most home labs, but I personally think a UPS is worth it, if only to give yourself the option to gracefully shut down systems in the event of a power outage.
Eventually, I’ll get a working script that checks the battery backup for mains power loss and handle the graceful shutdown for me, but right now that extra 10-15 minutes of battery backup is enough for a manual effort.
This is why I have about five of these bad boys: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.
One is in my utility room for my cable modem and our chest freezer, three back up my homelab and wifi AP, and one is for my office.
They’ve been bulletproof through storms, and when we’ve lost power, but not Internet I can’t keep on working.
The big thing to look for is number of battery+surge outlets vs just surge outlets. Typically they top out at 1500VA - the more overhead for what you’re powering, the longer you can go without mains power.
A screen/display is helpful for at-a-glance information like expected runtime, current output, etc.

The More the Merrier
We’re not the only ones who introduced amazing hardware last year. Several other companies have seized the same opportunity to serve users with high-powered on-the-go gaming PCs, with products like the Asus ROG Ally, the OneXPlayer OneXFly, and the Ayaneo Air. All these choices provide users with a bunch of options and price points for portable PC gaming, and reward the investments game devs are making to support better gamepad input and smaller screen sizes. We hope to see even more of these handheld PCs in 2024.
Feels like the OP article could have been much shorter.
I wonder if there’s any interest in HD scans?
Yes, a million times yes. Put them up on Archive.org and share the wealth of 90’s geekery.
Oh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn’t code something like this to save my life.
I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.
