Doesn’t sound good at all, might be worth running it by the doctor, a scan wouldn’t harm.

[DeVaultSetter]

This explains it: hunt for ratings = runt for hatings!
Yeah, stay in there, and, as someone should have said: may any coming distractions be worth the while!
Sorry, been out of the loop a little as per RL on farm, and of late digging up personal info on the OAP rollover coming up in August. It’s very time consuming. 🙁

Can’t connect through the browser, gone from Windows, and unreachable on ping in Terminal today, funny, because in the router diagnostics the ping and trace route succeed for IPV4, fail for IPV6.
First time it’s happened, will check the unit tomorrow. 🙁
Edit: Hope it isn’t this. :P’
Edit2: Powered off as the UPS it’s connected to has no lights, so now we have to determine whether it’s the batteries, UPS, or both. Gave the dust coated artifact a zhuzh up as well. 🙂

Classic takes, forgot all about Agatha Clouseau’s inspired script. 😀
Right now, streaming Screw, a series based on the comings and goings of staff in a UK prison. In one episode, the head of the wing decides to install an amnesty box for the prisoners to voluntarily relinquish various items of contraband:

Nothing too hilarious there, until one of the inmates adjusts the sign on the box: AMNASTY.

WP has barfed the urls again, those links are interesting though, especially the colour text on the MTG site.
For hardcore PHP TCG integration there’s Energy Search, the site and creator have moved on it seems, could be fun getting it to run with the latest. Is VS any good for plugin development?

[DeVaultSetter]

Great, well now, we all will know to take backups before upgrades of various flavours – firmware, infirmware, brainrackware. 😛
The last two apply here as a result of not going to specsavers (not in your country though). Thought the second DP was an HDMI, no wonder it didn’t fit, and the second screen on the TV works of course! 🙂
Tried out the new HDR test with this on the new (non HDR) monitor, three errors in the optional passes, everything else seemed clear. No report though, so requested one.
The specs for the rig at HP are nicely presented, not much on the mobo or components thereof, score from Geekbench.

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s got AVR, which doesn’t help, the new downstairs PC works fine on it, will investigate further.
The old monitors here don’t have DP ports unfortunately, the good news is the Alogic DP => DVI adapter worked, so the VS248h can be used as a fallback monitor. 🙂
Definitely, watch for dust though if there is no cover, the drive on the old Palsonic tftv6650LED (in storage) packed up when a disk got stuck inside. It’s still there. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

Absolutely, a blog post for design too, there’s even a subreddit for it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tcgdesign/
What does this mean, on their getting started section:

To access the TCGplayer.com REST API, you must have:

1. An API Developer Key

We are no longer granting new API access at this time. Existing users must adhere to the terms of service that govern the use of our API, including, but not limited to important restrictions and attributions required by you.

Can we request a stay of leniency?

[DeVaultSetter]

Yep, let’s move right out of static pages and into a blog landing/front page. We can still have the links up top, and the welcome post as a stickie:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-make-sticky-posts-in-wordpress
How the other blog posts are to be indexed is for later, an interesting option is now Disqus, as it will now (allegedly) work for comments. 🙂
Thoughts?

[DeVaultSetter]

You can boot to both now? Great! 🙂 If things have to be configured again, does that mean some data got nuked?

Gone the whole hog and acquired this viewsonic monitor because it’s HDR10, a thing in Windows now. The 2k res is there if needed, provided it’s not from the UHD770. 😛
The new Ob rig has an HDMI 2.1 port actually, which renders as absolutely useless with current gear, so it’s either this or the other DP port will have to be converted to HDMI for the TV.
Madness. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Here too, an installation USB is mandatory.
🙂 Fabulous, now one supposes that whatever is in that PopOS drive will lead you back to Linux Land. Heard from support yet?

Here’s the skinny on the new rig: https://valid.x86.fr/pkm8wh
Has two DP ports and one HDMI, which is standard, and as many lower priced monitors have one DP and two HDMI, the workaround is noted. 😛

Posted the known audio issues and, due to a pending monitor shuffle, acquired a new monitor for the downstairs rig. Fortunately, the RX 550 has the matching DP outlet, leaving the HDMI for the old TV. And yeah, the monitor comes with its own sound device, making full use of the HDMI it seems, this human ear unable to tell if the audio is superior to the Realtek.

The rig works pretty well, the errors at startup are standard, haven’t gone into the UEFI yet.

HP provide a nice interface in the Desktop with utilities, and even a browser, the Chromium based “HP Sure Click Secure Browser.”

Oh, and the DVD writer arrived, it’s brilliant! Must handle with care as somewhat fragile, as some of the negative user reviews have attested.

[DeVaultSetter]

Well, it’s answered, although, – ehm, – it’s kind of what we already know, with a static page we’re stuck with the page template.
And er, is it because my question didn’t quite hit the point – or did it find the mark more from underneath than from on top?
Was there any major reason why the front page had to be “static”? If we changed that, we could put the welcome stuff in a separate block (or header), and just stream the posts and comments as they come through.
The downside is folks can never respond to the welcome post, which is what was originally intended. This may be overcome if we can keep the welcome post separate (“static”) from the others, perhaps the categories will help there.
“Welcome” and then “Everything else”
Worth pursuing this at WP?

[DeVaultSetter]

All right, here’s the post.
Also, something to note when migrating themes, there are issues explained particularly well towards the end of this thread. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes, do remember giggling at Chucky, on the list again. 😀
Dying on the Edge is flicked in the idiom of true B-Grade, possessing elements that both move and intrigue. The screenplay is rather smooth, formed with a professional touch, and is well directed with a solid supporting cast. And it’s very sad, 3.5/5 here.
Right now streaming The Vanishing Triangle, a bog standard production with a hint of mystery. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

The Back-UPS RS 900G there might require a replacement battery, however no warnings from the UPS monitor software. Could also be touching on the threshold of insufficient voltage as the PC was tested on another AC outlet. As is often the case out in the boondocks, the waveforms of the current can be a bit blocky, and the PSU itself is as old as the PC, going on 13 years, and like me, getting a little tetchy. 😛
Revelation of the week, there is something skwewy with the PC and not the UPS, as the monitor S/W works on the new Ob rig, thread updated. 🙂

The old monitors are an issue with new connections when trying to set up the two monitor system as before. Purchased this unbranded, but nice looking DP to VGA adapter which produced no signal when connecting up to the old Samsung S24B350H. The monitor has VGA and HDMI outlets only, the new Ob machine has two DisplayPort outlets and only one HDMI outlet, the latter is consumed by the TV, also a recent acquisition.

Unfortunately the holding pins on the VGA adapter had to be filed down as they were an incompatible size. Tried a few combos in W11 as well.
The standards require the adapter plug must be “active” to work, thus should have a chip inside to facilitate the conversion from digital to analog, the specs in the seller’s page didn’t say that, so should have checked initially. Could also be an issue with the power not being 3.3V/500mA from the DP outlet.

So the last line of defence against purchasing a new monitor is the old ASUS VS248h monitor that has an extra DVI-D socket. Ordered this Alogic converter, hoping of all hopes it will do the trick. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Either that or heckle the local council debates, keep plying the staff with jelly beans, parade up and down main street with a banner “We Want More or Less Government”, or go to the mayor’s office and say you really support their “Parks and Recreation” style of government. 😛
Any LPs there for a collector’s wish list?

[DeVaultSetter]

Looks like a few folk have moved on which can burr the edge of expectations somewhat. Might take it over to WP, there’s bound to be at least one happy subscriber ready to jump out of their skin in order to throw us poor sods a bone at least. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

That’s odd, is it just a standard sugar syrup like the one here? Of course it would make sense if it were for just one sponge section, was a particular filling recommended for it? She also welcomes questions. 🙂
Lovely, any recipes in mind? Wikihow covers the basics rather well. 🙂
Enjoying lamb roasts over here, foil shiny side down might help with the sticking on removal, would you recommend a little oil or grease on the foil as well?

[DeVaultSetter]

Metric over here, so Attack of the 15.24 Woman. 😛
Anything from the Little Shop of Nuclear Plant Horrors is sure to take one off-piste, even if you happen to be a script writer for the film!
Kill the Messenger was on again, do remember seeing at least a part of it before, funny how the guy in real life was later found shot in the head twice, explained away as suicide.
Another film based on RL, The Whistleblower, doesn’t hold back in realism. Again, a confrontation of David against Goliath where David scores a momentary win before sinking into uneventful obscurity.
Nightmare Alley is a slick production, have to say, with a sprawling and fascinating story. The original movie with Tyronne Power is available at Wayback, also on the list for later.
Tonight there was Gunpowder Milkshake, another neo-noir styled affair with mood lighting and stagey sets, turns out great for a completely brain dead fiesta of girl power and gore. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Oh, you mean the backup-5.21.2024_20-10-10_xzjkv5sl.tar.gz file, did that from cPanel, everything for Stearnvault is in there for sure.
Yeah, would be nice to setup a monthly job to park the backup directly on the NAS, probably starting off from here perhaps, providing cPanel CRON can handle auth passes. Meanwhile, it isn’t too much of a stretch to take a snap before a major theme/plugin/OS/Host change, just in case. 🙂
