I just realized X is still using the old t.co shortening of Twitter.com. I see the links every day from Wario64 posts in my discord feed, but never actually made that correlation until seeing this post. Someone should razz him about that, but I don’t go on X anymore.

And none of the backups were immutable.

Are you talking about the trapper keeper episode? I never made that correlation until you just mentioned it! And I’ve seen Akira many more times before and after that episode originally aired many years ago.

So you’ve acknowledged the same issue, and instead of offering a solution to their issue, you decide to criticize them. They even said they’ve used Arch for 5 years. That’s not a small amount of time to be using an OS. You are what’s wrong with the Linux community, not OP.

I think he means HyperTerminal. It was the predecessor to Putty basically for serial connections.

You need to set up a DKIM record to validate your domain. If you are using proton free without your own domain, there’s nothing you can do.

Watch the switch 2 announcement direct. It’s full of third party developers “happy to finally bring their games to switch” that have been released over the past 7 years on every other platform. Most of them playable on steam deck or other competing handhelds. I felt really bad for Nintendo during the direct and was a big decision point for me to not be a day 1 buyer even as an avid Nintendo fan. I will buy when the next major Zelda releases, and I will look for second hand devices before buying new.

I gotcha. And completely agree with Tunic as well. Unlocking the in game manual to learn more about the game around you was an amazing discovery. I actually bought the physical manual to it which was also made with great quality.

I grew up in the NES era but could never get into this game. Was just a bit too young for it but damn your comment makes me want to give it the college try now. We had the NES version of Maniac Mansion that I also spent many hours trying to solve but was just too young for it too. Platformers were my jam though. MegaMan 1-6, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, ect.

As for Metal Gear, I loved the PS1 version and based on your description seems the closest to the original of the “newer” titles. I was very disappointed with MGS2 but enjoyed MGS3s story. Never gave 4 or 5 a chance though because of the same reasons you mention. It became way too campy.

Don’t support this shit company for churning out the same games for over a decade.

That’s awesome, thanks man. Yet another thing to add to the never ending list!

How can I get started? I have a full homelab ready for hosting one!!

Growing up, one of my best friends parents set us up with a terminal MUD connection. Basically an old school, text based only MMO. You had to type in your commands, “look north”, “walk east”, “attack <enemy name>”. I was able to make a Sayian character, walk around town and Kamehameha my foes. I recall finding Smurf village and getting killed many times by Papa Smurf.

I wish I remembered what server it was or if any even exist any more.

That’s really unfortunate as I bought NRftW at EA launch and love the game. Any EA takes time and they really are putting a lot into it.

They recently launched a ginormous patch that basically revamped a lot of the combat and performance issues in the game, requiring a new character be made. I was upset when I first heard the news, but after reading the gigantic patch notes released it makes total sense why my old character just won’t work anymore. It’s still playable in a different version too, they didn’t out right delete the character.

I don’t think multiplayer is available yet which may be a huge gripe for everyone as they said at launch it was their next main objective, but the game plays really well as a single player.

The only complaint I may have is that loading times are abysmal, but I play primarily on Steam Deck and have to say the latest patch has addressed many performance issues outside of load times that it suffered from on previously. Lots of love going into the game and I suppose it’s time for me to post this on Steam for their support!

Have you tried adjusting the heads on the VCR units you have? It’s pretty easy to do, catch a quick YouTube of it. Just requires removing the chassis and a flathead screw driver.

I’d also suggest trying to rwind the tape by hand if a particular part of it is "bad"and try playing it from the start.

Last ditch effort, cut the tape to get rid of the bad section and splice the good sections together with a small dab of super glue. It binge within seconds and it’s playable after a minute or two. I’ve recently done this for two tapes of my own with advice of a colleague who’s also done it and it works flawlessly.

I’m querying my internal meme database and if I recall weren’t these pictures of before and after Square announced FF VII port for the PS3. Not the remaster, just a playable port. And the pictures are reversed timeline, meaning they were very excited (bottom picture), but then quickly disappointed (top picture) after realized Square pulled a switcharoo? Could be wrong but going crazy with the thought now!

Onto the supreme Court where it will likely get shut down because this is against capitalism. I wish humans weren’t as stupid as we are.

It’s quite literally how I laid it out. I have a Fedora server with an Unbound container for roothints lookup, and a pihole container for internal DNS sevices. It’s taken a lot of time to get working like any homelab stuff.

I’ve never heard of powerDNS but you may be in a situation where you need to read their docs or try and find other posts or videos of what you’re trying to accomplish. Sorry I wasn’t much more help.

With powerDNS, no. Personally, I use Fedora with podman containers. I have a pihole container utilizing unbound as my roothints resolver so all of my requests are internalized. Pihole has DHCP availability, but I utilize my gateway (Unifi) for DHCP and simply build my local DNS records manually on Pihole as needed.

I’m not sure how many Kubes you actually have, but building a local DNS entry is pretty manageable unless you have a LOT of Kubes automatically deploying themselves.

I’m not sure how powerDNS works but the cleanest method is to make your DNS server also handle your DHCP. Any client that gets an address is automatically given a DNS entry matching it’s name.
