Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers.

The 3.5" floppy version for PC.

In a box, off the shelf at Kmart.

Squeenix is also big on that whole Playtron “crypto gaming OS”. They come right up on the homepage.

No surprises here.

I’ve been noticing a lot more definitely-AI-generated “blogposts” and full-on ads in my Mastodon hashtag feeds.

It’s a fairly new thing.

75% of the accounts I’ve had to ban in the roughly-two-years since I spun up my instance have been AI slopfaucets that popped up in the last 2 weeks.

Hey, you do you.

This sounds like the kind of stuff that breaks Steam Deck software after random system updates, though.

I wonder whose decision it was to make a bunch of former Titanfall 2 devs make yet another live service game.

Because that person probably put all of those TF2 devs out of a job.

I believe the last time I had to do a Windows re-install, I was nagged THREE times to enable OneDrive. Each time, the opt out button was increasingly difficult to locate, and the verbiage more & more resembling “you’re an idiot if you don’t enable this”.

Even after refusing to use it x3, once Windows was installed, OneDrive was still sitting down in the system tray, ready to fuck shit up.

Since I run in Game Mode, the reboot is pretty much baked into the update process.

Go to Settings. See update. Apply update. Reboot when it says it’s ready.

Aside from that, the PC just chills in Sleep when not being used.

It’s not Let’s Encrypt, but I’ve been happy with this Cloudflare-flavored ACME through Caddy.

I really only use it for my local-hosted stuff that I don’t expose to the web. So, when I’m at home, https://radarr/.[mydomain].com resolves to 192.168.1.145:7878. That sort of thing…

It could quite simply be that Sony already knew Bluepoint was on the chopping block when they made the request.

So they just brushed them off with a deflecting “nah, FromSoft doesn’t want to do that” response.

My Bazzite PC lives in a cabinet under my living room TV, next to my PS5.

I put it to sleep when not in use, so I can wake it with my 8bitdo controller.

It’s basically a second gaming console.

Seriously, we need to convince him that all of the AI companies are saying mean things about him. Then maybe we might be able to afford RAM.

Personally, my IP (T-Mobile 5G) has CGNAT and blocks all incoming traffic. I can’t simply Wireguard into my network. Tailscale has been my intermediary to get remote access.

I guess it’s time to figure how how to host an alternative on a VPS (I see Headscale mentioned in these comments).

[insert “you haven’t thought of the smell!” Always Sunny meme]

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME!

I dunno…

There’s a transcoding bug in the Android TV version of the Jellyfin client where transcoding a video with 7.1 audio breaks playback. Even with a Pull Request out there that fixes it (by matching the behavior of other Jellyfin clients), the issue got closed as “not planned”. The continued suggestion continues to be “just force everything to play in stereo”.

I don’t have unlimited bandwidth, so plenty of my stuff gets transcoded in Plex. I can’t, in good, conscience, switch my friends & family (most of who use Android TV) over to Jellyfin.

Mostly Docker.

Portainer and plugging Docker Compose XML into Portainer stacks makes Docker stupid-simple. (personally speaking as a stupid person that does this)

Cloudflare tunnels for stuff people other than you might want to access.

Tailscale if it’s only you.

Reverse proxy & port forwarding for sharing media over Jellyfin without violating the Cloudflare Tunnel ToS.

Me with a i5 7500…

“HDR is a chore?”

Luckily I realized that I could Cloudflare-tunnel my Portainer UI out to a long random-nonsense subdomain name.

That allowed me to fix it (and then immediately kill the tunnel – not a fan of exposing Portainer to the internet).

Adding this device this also appeared to fix my https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn container that recently died. (And not simply giving it elevated privileges, as was previously recommended)

https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn/issues/2883

It appears that these issues all originate from an update to runc (which is used by containerd): https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/11078

EDIT: My suggestion probably doesn’t work for your use-case, but I’ll leave it for anyone else…

I use this to only tunnel the ports I actually need: https://github.com/DigitallyRefined/docker-wireguard-tunnel

My CGNAT’ed home PC is the client, and my public-facing Oracle Cloud instance is the server.

I’ve tried and failed miserably to use the “official” Wireguard container. Once I start reading suggestions to modify iptables outside of Docker, I know I’m in trouble.

I’m just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. “It’s 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds.” You’d probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad’s meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )

That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.

My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to “cheat” the daily dispensers he has now.

EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.

EDIT 2: Here’s a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120
