Certainly! Just “zhuzhed up” the old AL lab article a little, without doing too much yet. It would be wonderful if you could try it out on the Linux build for comparison, and of course, the building of your own family tree! 🙂

Great!
Have you tried Virtual Desktop or Oculus Link on Windows yet? Like to know the difference to NMS.
Funny, the noise from the fans always seem loud to begin with, but like tinnitus, it eventually fades to white noise. As long as they don’t develop a nasty squeak, like the Mistral fan used downstairs here in summer. 😛

Does the daughter board go in one of the PCI slots?
Two speakers are usually enough unless it’s a large room- sounds as if you are accustomed to the quad setup from the old system, they would be necessary for VR no doubt.

Never heard of Humanoids From the Deep, but the name kind of gets you in. 😛
Ah yes, done in the days when Harvey Weinstein was “young and innocent, so it’s on the fav. list. Rick Wakeman’s music another plus:

Almost to the end of episode 1 of Vagrant Queen, but no, although it’s bright and snappy, there’s that deja vous feeling of been there before, the dialogue perhaps the main culprit. Take me back to early teens, will definitely complete it! 🙂
The critics were right about Fallen, so much could have been done to make it more entertaining; “beloved cult classic” doesn’t quite cut it, thus recommended for a high spot in the “not to watch” list. 😛

Congrats!
Just curious, in the light of this rather old question, how customizable will the dual boot OS choice look after it has been tweaked to state of usability?
Interesting about the fans, if not through the motherboard, are they connected through a port or something else?
Yeah, forgot about the sound, so their motherboard doesn’t have a slot for a soundcard then?

The only way to login to Gravatar these days is to have your email “associated” with WordPress.com. Something must have changed since the last time I logged into Gravatar, for it was a long time ago, and there is no record (or memory) of any WordPress.com account on the books here. So, logging in the your email address, there is no password prompt, but an email sent from WordPress.com entitled Log in to WordPress.com and containing a jump link to log in, along with the obligatory link timeout warning. Clicking the link, and voila, the user is logged in, with no password verification prompting at all.
But, they must have a password of mine on record, because there exists a reset password link page. Hope of all hopes it will not, as is can be the case, be requiring the old password in order to change it. 😛

Interesting list, like to play Wordle sometime. 🙂
Sorry, missed something, or some kind of clue has now cropped up on their web page. There is at top “as seen in … BIRDSBESAFE® CAT COLLAR COVER” and this comes up as the first image:

The mystery continues, and definitely looks like crossed wires. 😛

Yes, like big mice and big mats as well, however the pebble goes nicely with the compact keyboard. 🙂
Oh dear, here we go again. Last night was vacuuming around this chassis and might have knocked something, as the screen was frozen when I got to it some time later. So the above problems with rig either relate to a loose connection of something in the circuitry, or a power irregularity when the vacuum was turned on from the same 4 socket power terminal. Yes, it’s an original VAX 121 (1990) which uses a fair bit of juice, so might have upset something. Nothing in the logs as usual.
Newish error came up in the boot, wonder if they can help at all?

Oops, didn’t refresh the page, in any case the edit there looks to have turned out to be rather redundant. 😛
Forgot clean about the LI, thanks. 🙂
Still, dispensing with the LI button, and replacing the UL button with something like this code might be more usable:

<ul>
	<li>Unordered item</li>
	<li>Unordered item</li>
	<li>Unordered item</li>
	<li>Unordered item</li>
</ul>

The above-mentioned nesting hopefully works a bit better with something like this:

<ul>
	<li
		<ul>
		<li>Unordered item</li>
		<li>Unordered item</li>
		<li>Unordered item</li>
		<li>Unordered item</li>
		</ul>
	>
</ul>

Sounds like it got seriously lost. Have a job for it?
Seems like there are heat domes all over the Northern Hemisphere, how bad is it your way?

She is very beautiful – and it almost seemed that in any minute she was going to fly off into the moonrise!
Why did they call TikTok TikTok? Some of the answers on that page mention Tik-Tok of Oz and the Sladek novel, most mention clocks, but none mentioned the following:

Quite nice, her cover of Betcha by Golly, Wow was fairly ordinary though.

You have been busy, has not yet the appetite been sated? 😛
Saw Natural Born Killers the other day, if you like a discordant cacophony of loud and scream, this is the movie for you. Hints of Pulp fiction in the sets and transitions, garish, violent and memorable, certainly no cure for migraine. Over here there is no urgency in adding it to the watch-again list. 🙂
Coming to the end of Vigil, it’s credible, thought provoking, and tense. That article mentioned reported inaccuracies in dialogue and plot, which didn’t cause to much worry here either. 🙂

The wiping of the post cache isn’t supposed to happen at all when clicking the back button. Didn’t happen prior to June IIRC, so something must have happened to trigger the error handling in Cache Enabler- might have to query them.
Post content is also wiped when this error crops up (also see private sandbox thread):

Error

Had any experience with kmail-lists at KDE? Years ago I purchased some cat collars from BirdsBeSafe which were fine, (the cat back then always found a way to offload them).
Just got an email update from their site about some new designs (genuine), funny they still had this email address as there is no record here of an account registered with them. In case there was, the “Forgot Password” never triggered the activation email. So clicked the “unsubscribe” button, and it got me this!

Although the font is great, it seems something got mixed up! 😛

Ensuring an orbital stays in its initial position is challenge enough, so adding/reducing mass to it may add further complications. Then there are other factors to consider like solar storms, meteors, interstellar radiation, and our very own space debris. To produce anything organic on it, temperature control is required, and is a challenge even on a “primitive” model such as the space station.
The depressing news on the space elevator is from Wikipedia:

Available materials are not strong and light enough to make an Earth space elevator practical. Some sources expect that future advances in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could lead to a practical design. Other sources believe that CNTs will never be strong enough. Possible future alternatives include boron nitride nanotubes, diamond nanothreads and macro-scale single crystal graphene.

Having everything hydrogen fuelled for energy and heat would reduce waste a bit, the problem of waste disposal/exchange is, and will ever be costly and involved. Surely the garbots of tomorrow can come to the party as well! 🙂

Sorry, meant the string “<h3&gt;Header3&lt;/h3>” is expected to transform to
 

Header3

And not:

“<h3>Header3</h3>”

Edit: What a silly dumbo, that’s the expected behaviour as they are just the escaped characters. 😛

In any case, the sandbox/test activity will help as H1 and H2 don’t seem to be working at all. For example “<h2>Header2</h2>” gives nothing below:

Header2

Can’t believe there were xkcd comics that had to be explained. No matter for concern anymore as we have them all explained (mostly). 😛
Deviant Art has this for an idea. This one rather pretty! 🙂
Just plug into the caldera and play! Another one is to relocate large scale high energy consuming manufacturing outfits to the volcano, set up a thermoelectric generator, and ring the factory bells. 🙂

Brrrrr (shivering) the very thought of icecream and it’s “I scream”! 😛
You mean this site? Definitely worth a look, scrolling or paging down to the bottom, and it bounces up some and hides the text. We also have our own Science and Nature. 🙂
Had a thought that we should rename this topic to Random Wreckoning Balls- does it quite suit though?
On the radio today was Platform capitalism and the curse of “enshittification”, sort of thing I like to listen while roaming, as it were. Has a site, Craphound with a link to the mailing feed with heaps of fun stuff such as Capitalists Hate Capitalism. 😛

A game that brings one back to the start like that wins a special place in this gamer soul. 🙂
Here are some top tips from GGSP a player half way through the game is guaranteed not to watch. 😛

An operating system can provide “support” for any hardware, whether it works under the OEM driver is up in the air. As of last year, AMD don’t have any support at all for FreeBSD, looks a bit better for OpenBSD.
Yes, there’s quite a bit to choose from in code editors, one that also has language support, debugging, and auto-suggest.
Okay then, VR it is, and Windows 11 on the fun drive, thus a not so fun milestone is a VS installation? There hasn’t much doing with VS2019 over here for more than a year, so definitely not a front burner. 😛
Yeah, tell-tale signs are long read/writes, sluggish system, and BSODS. The mfg usually offer tools that gauge SSD fit for purpose, you could schedule those to run every quarter, for example. The good news (according to a quick Google) is, the bigger the SSDs, the longer they last, and the less they are used (fewer write cycles), the longer they last. Make from that what you will. 🙂
