      Bummer with the old Oblivion machine, turn it on, lights, fan, no BIOS beep, looks like the power supply again playing up as a result of being powered off a while. If it is anything like last time, just leaving it on for a while will “charge the PSU” to the correct boot threshold. Who knows?
      Meanwhile, using the old Skyrim LE machine which used to be really fast. Before W10 and clogged logs got hit it with extra damage. Skyrim was wiped but there’s Morrowind on it, and probably wouldn’t harm to load Ob from the cd here anyhow.
      Oh, comings goings, ding dong doings! 😛

        Something incredibly no-organizational: Spam again!
        Since inception, we have had 83 spam messages, some of which have have been endowed with moderation by Cleantalk. The ones on this page appear to be a ChatGPT mash up of chemistry papers, last call for punters before binning. 🙂

          As soon as the gui shows, quickly clicking on a channel link can avoid the new MS Teams “you’re missing out” wall, yet still show the overlay nag mentioned above.
          The gui can stay up for up to 30 mins before being replaced with “the new Teams is ready” dialog.
          Surprisingly, and rather sadly, there is an error retrieving the messages from the “Community” channel.

          We’re having trouble loading your messages. Try refreshing.

          There was a wealth of Teams classic bugs and whatnot unearthed for cold storage there, too bad we’ll never be likely to revisit those particular memories anytime soon.
          Come to think of it, we probably would not have in any case. 😛

            If that is a sidebar, it’s well cloaked. 😛
            Besides extra navigation, does it provide anything that isn’t on the pages already? Personally not a huge fan as it’s chopped of 50% of the real estate, although a good idea in user forum settings, perhaps devault for new user. 🙂

              Grampsweb is the first port of call, possible on Synology, also possible in hosting though no plugin based WP integration as such. There does happen to be Tangled Web at Github from late ’21, certainly on the cards.
              For now, trying out the Narrated Website, the first blue was selecting the tar.gz in the export options, the backslashes turned borko in the tarball, e.g.:

              pplb0dc824f7463f2fc525fbe14e7f0b.html

              Consequently the lucky first upload of the tree showed the index beautifully, the rest of the items 404. The second was successful. 🙂

                Wow, it’s true squirrels will attack cables if they interfere with the interop of their burrows. Over here there’s plenty of rats, and it’s unwise to lay cables too close to a wombat’s abode.

                One may guess I personally entertain a slight aversion to all underground pipes in this locality, because so many have been broken moving the goats around over the years, notwithstanding the first correspondence from a utility upon initial residency was from no other but Dial Before You Dig, very helpful when it came to phone lines, their URL now redirecting to https://www.byda.com.au. Still looks like a pretty savvy bunch, so there you go!

                It’s beyond the reach of the wifi (do prefer the spelling 😛 ), if the cable isn’t snicked it might have to replaced. Right now, banking on false alarm and paranoia. 😛

                No worries. 🙂
                Ah, having a pet door so she can enter any time is a good idea, a good daily dog walk provides plenty of air and powder might help to keep the area dry. Shem, the fox terrier here is 13, and has had a black protuberance by his mouth for years. The vet gave it a “green light” so long as the thing doesn’t morph in some disturbing way. 🙂

                  Definitely checking out the next codpiece, and oh yeah, Roddy Piper was a true artist! 😛

                  A first glimpse of the lead in Taxi Driver and Robert De Niro may not come to mind, from what we know of his later work. Scorcese wrung all the changes well from the shock ending revelations of the film, which, although very watchable, comes off as slightly “dated” – do hate that word. 😛
                  Our own satirical news show, The Weekly includes reviews on TV shows, the latest from Reality is House of Villians:

                    You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time

                    What if it’s just the wafer cone without the filling? Funny about Joe Biden’s ice cream Gaza ceasefire speech, if it was performed in Washington with a lollipop instead, illegal!

                    Had a recent scare involving asbestos in mulch in schools, much of it is bonded though. When conditions become hot, dry and windy, there’s more of a risk. Use mulch all the time here, but it’s locally sourced, fortunately. 🙂

                    The banana car has done the rounds in news media again, earlier iterations are from at least 2008 such as the following beauty:

                      Did they release any update/regret/explanation/ on the issue? Good rapport with customers has, is, and always will be a must for service providers. 🙂
                      Just a heads up for next Sunday-Monday, moving back to the other place wherein lies the old W10 Oblivion machine, connected by a long, in ground ethernet cable to the router. If that hasn’t been nicked as was suspected, all should be fine. 🙂

                        Think so, the TPP site is WIP as they revamped the plans last November, the one I’m on corresponds to the Shared cPanel Advanced in this list. Might consider the Advanced Plus later, the following goodies will be superfluous to Stearnvault bar RAM, bandwidth, throughput and CPU:

                        • CPU: 400%
                        • RAM: 4 GB
                        • Throughput: 5 MB/s
                        • IOPS: 4096
                        • Email accounts: unlimited
                        • Databases: unlimited
                        • FTP Accounts: unlimited
                        • Addon domains: 10
                        • Subdomains: unlimited
                        • Jetbackup: Yes
                        • Storage: 30 GB
                        • INODES: 750,000
                        • Bandwidth: 1 TB
                        • Max Mailbox size: 20 GB

                        Surprisingly, there exists an email service for the xzjkv5sl account in cPanel, you’ll want the keys to the palace for that, did enquire with them if an alias for xzjkv5sl were possible. They, with considerable alacrity, will immediately surf to the link you provided above, and eagerly run it through the console. 🙂

                          Oh, given your phone is 10 years old, and Samsung having announced it now supports 7 upgrades for Galaxy devices, yours now qualifies for the update? Wow, some shock factor in there for the phone, and apart from the OS sucking the life out of the unit, everything looks fine?
                          Admittedly, on 1080p, the tablet here has more grunt, and, compared to the old one (which is not connected to internet), loses a lot more drain on a daily basis. The focus on performance here is turning down or off and reducing permissions for apps which are not used. As committed to using the Google Play store only, the Samsung Play Store is turned off for now, even though it keeps prompting.
                          The main gripe is not being able to turn off the sidebar in Google Search, (with “Discover” “Search” “Saved”) on the left. No issue with Chrome, but certainly with what Google has done to the Samsung browser. And, btw, there’s no mention of that sidebar in flags anymore, in fact the whole thing is a movable feast according to the comments in this video.
                          Doesn’t seem to be a search box available for searching Chrome Settings in Android either- same with you?

                            Luckily the Mexican Petunias are susceptible to frost which keeps them away from here somewhat, there’s a handy Grow Me Instead for this locale, there’s sure to be similar your way.
                            Surprised about the elephants ears taking hold, again, they are frost tender, so don’t get them in the wild in these here parts.
                            Came across these in the brain teasers, corpses is an anagram of process, resonate is an anagram of senator, and, first up from this site, dirty room is an anagram of dormitory! Some good ones in there! 🙂

                              Did work out, albeit rather slow and painful, for which the extra expense in the subscription is disbursed.
                              And after all that, the errors in the account pages remain:

                              There is currently no email service associated with stearnvault.com

                              Ideal for smaller websites. It offers reliability on a feature rich industry-standard platform.

                              Do, of course have the cPanel hosting service, the details of which are located on another tab, but it is not the same as a TPP web hosting service apparently.
                              It’s not beyond the realms of imaginings for the emergence of expressions of interest manifold for a gentle zuzhing touch up of the site with a hard bristled broom. 😛

                                Definitely upgrade removed the comments, wonder if that was supposed to happen- will try to retrieve them. 🙂
                                There’s no issue with the tablet here, don’t get a hamburger menu at all actually- might be related to the 1080p res setting.
                                Locating the appropriate setting has me flummoxed though, this poster gets an overlay menu in Navigation settings.
                                There’s a demo of it in this short video:

                                Can’t see anything like that in customising the main page- or is there more to it?
                                Also noticed the <H1> and <H2> tags have dark text again.
                                Edit: What’s really precious is the video is cutoff on the right, you’ll have to navigate to it in the browser, sorry. 🙁

                                    Oh, we get Tubi here too, never knew they had all those slashers, though the question remains as to whether my personality and charisma receives a 100% boost after watching them all. 😛
                                    The second series of Dark Winds was, at least as far as geography and plot went, more expansive than the first. The spooky swirling clouds were replaced in the intro with a more fiery graphic, hopefully the murky umbrae will be re-installed.
                                    Surprised not to have seen In the Heat of the Night before, heady atmospheric feel to it, good mix in cast headed by Poitier and Steiger. Super soundtrack including rhyming Wellerisms in Glen Campbell’s “Bowlegged Polly and Knock Kneed Paul” and Fowl Owl on the Prowl sung by Boomer and Travis.

                                    Rod Steiger was also terrific in The Illustrated Man, a movie wherein the stories of Bradbury succeeded, the screenplay bombed badly. Do recall the opening sequence of “The Last Night of the World” as quite captivating, and memorable, shame it is not currently available, good news it’s due out in the public domain in 2064. 😛

                                    And how can we not forget The Ray Bradbury Theatre, carrying on the great traditions of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales of the Unexpected, and Night Gallery.

                                    There is a lot of switching to parallel storylines in the 2000 movie Traffic, which requires the viewer glued to the seat for the 147 minute duration. The mini-series are bound to take it at a slower pace.

                                    There were a lot of things to like about Jackie Brown, colour, suspense, and soundtrack. The plot, like an overlay against the raw brutality of the characters, came off as somewhat artificial, a typical Tarantino hallmark.

                                      When the grid goes, it’s on battery alone, thus powered outlets are limited, when it occurs on cloudy days, apply extra frugality of the sake of the battery!
                                      Yep, haven’t attempted it yet, and from community feedback to current conversion tools, considerable intervention is still required.
                                      Copilot popped up on the Android, funny that, as the device was only supposed to have OneDrive installed on it. Mind you, once these fabulous AI numbots are able to successfully convert PrgLnch into V2, no complaints from this nobbly numbat. 😛
                                      AliExpress comes on a bit strong after you sign up, as many of the settings are unavailable from the login or account section, and the sitemap being only for warez. It works pretty well, considering the load of millions – perhaps billions of transactions each day. Logged in again a couple of days later, this time it insisted on 2FA, so now they have my mobile number, and then, surprise surprise, they miraculously dug up an old Google account from the Ali Baba days and insisted on merging that as well. Oh Bartleby, oh Technology. 😛
                                      And, (edit:) somehow ended up accidentally using two accounts on Tech Commnunity, the proposed solution involves more collation of personal data, unfortunately. 😛
