Funny how everything is going to Discord. Why don’t they make everything Discord anyhow – a Discord browwer, Discord OS, Discord apparel, watches, jewellery and other paraphernalia, Discord car – or even – a Discord government? And most importantly, a plug & play connector device. (hey – where Dis Cord?)
On the subject of discussion sites closing down, say farewell to the AMD community forums, there be a few who are not happy about the loss of that considerable knowledgebase.

[DeVaultSetter]

Sounds good. 🙂
Just installed VS2026 along with the Linux and embedded development with C++ component, will be interesting – give me a bit.

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, OpenMW is a must. Just run Morrowind from a Network drive to get no mouse at the options menu, and a big buzz out of the speakers. A cold start is the only way out of the system freeze which is subsequently missed entirely in the Windows event log. 🙁

There’s a long wait before svchost.exe frees up other processes on the Ryzen, so boosted it a little with the help of this from W10 forums. The value in the registry setting for SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB was increased from the 380000 default to 600000 (6GB) RAM. Not the full 8gb as other process won’t get a look-in. 😛
Reminder to self: In case internet drops, get a FAT flash stick to update the TUF B450 mobo for the rig.

Thanks. Funny they are not wont to provide a list of “safe” hit counter sites, or even provide a safe hit counter themselves for sandbox purposes, which can be optionally blocked by their own software. A couple of bucks for each use could even go towards the upkeep of their own site. They also block Google Analytics by default apparently.
On the other hand, plugins like ZDN Adblock Detector are overkill, all that’s required here is a script that adds a number to the counter when an ad-blocker is detected. When it comes to other visitors like bots and crawlers, perhaps a project for Cleantalk, a counter on the page for all guests, welcome and otherwise. 🙂

That’s an amazing set – it’s all at IA in pretty good MP3 format, just in case we miss out. There was a 2020 vinyl release of the Ballad of Champions at Discogs, out of stock at the moment.
Funny thing, posted on this Reddit thread saying Armory Crate works well enough on the Ryzen machine. Ding dong, ding dong works like a song because it was uninstalled a year ago now, Doh! 😛
It was all about the lights on the keyboard not returning after power-on, once upon a time not a necessary typing requirement. These days the finger memory gets fuzzed by using different keyboards. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

Yep, been on The Chunnel, it’s worked out very well considering the traffic volume and a few issues. Materials are the major issue deep in the ocean as the pressures are tremendous – things could easily go the way of Oceangate. 🙁
That’s an amazing collection right there, and a good chance most of the movies ending up at the IA for our viewing pleasure! Songs too like Dinah and an old Beiderbecke number revived thus:

Let’s not forget Mickey Mouse in the comics, one who has fortunately recovered from his early suicidal escapades. 😛

As it’s such an incredibuild we must keep an eye out for a video of assemblage – something for an up-and-coming Rubiks Cuber no doubt. He’s moved from Github to Codeberg interestingly, which is better? The buzzword in that thread is gravity so will the alternatives ever imbue us with enough escape velocity?
By contrast, did you know the manual for The Useless Machine is free of charge?

As a matter of interest relating to this thread, came across the Android Internals::A Confectioner’s Cookbook, a work of some consequence which contains among other things an expanding Android Device Database. On that page is listed the rather venerable Samsung Galaxy Star Plus with a system snapshot taken back in 2013. Here’s a listing of (most of) the Samsung internal processes pulled from there:

Doesn’t look as if too much has changed since then. 🙂

Oh yes, everyone would love to go shopping for mementos and souvenirs at the Super Duper Mart, even a Bargain Hunt styled event would work. 🙂

Yeah the prize has to be a trophy of sorts – here was a suggestion back at AFKMods. 😛
Got a weird warning on the password manager so shared it. 🙂
Oh, and in clearing up old links, forgot that Bethesda have sunsetted their forums over to Discord. Had to go to IA to reference CK Hang on close (No Save) | Community Beta for Bethesda.net. Yep, that’s the capture page, you have to use the links above the calendar (next to “Saved 3 times”) to get the page showing. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Cool there’s a list at Wikipedia too, and a nice little compilation from @warnerbrosclassics:

🙂 There’s a bit of The Draft Horse here:

Somewhat touched by the vibes of Christmess as what transpires is much too real for many these days.

Christmas isn’t just a mess btw, it’s a f*** landfill catastrophe. 😛
Promising Young Woman is one of those movies where anything heard or read about the movie will spoil the payload as it were. Recommended for direction and suspense values at least.
Can’t say Bad Moms is the funniest movies ever made, but it is entertaining enough. Colourful quotes e.g.:

Wow, Gwendolyn, I genuinely think you should just relax a little bit, I mean, have a donut hole. They’re delicious. They’re from a gas station. They’re… Mmmm.

The FTA streaming agent only had series 3 of The Head so after getting through all the throwbacks there was a lot of chasing through tunnels and animated dialog after various murders. There is compensation in that the ending wrapped things up rather well.

[DeVaultSetter]

Good catch, no issue with hoiking it out as there could easily be confusion with IDD_CREATURE_VIEW1‘s resourced dialog.

[DeVaultSetter]

Wow, there’s a nice little video on this BBC page that describes the journey, which is unfortunately not a cosy train ride. It’s amazing how they managed to transport all the materials for construction and what have you. To lift the spirits of the visitors they are sure to provide screenings of The Descent along with graphic descriptions of other parts of the mine which have been flooded. 😛
Also came across this one from a few years back – potash from under the sea?

A million donuts a day might explain it – that’s a lot of oil and flour. Fresh donuts are far superior and there’s no sure-fire risk of Listeria which might occur in the icing or packaging. Nevertheless, given the choice, reeking of donuts beats chicken or fish but not pancakes & maple syrup, chocolate fondue or even sherbet dreamsicles! 🙂

🙂 Grandma got run over by a reindeer … so she could fit in down the chimney.

On Spastic Hamburger said

The last one doesn’t show up here but I think I found an alternate vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7eyPZat6Jk

Sorry about the region checks, that wasn’t it – that one isn’t so good IMOP. Replaced the vid above with this one which also has miniscule technical faults that might have explained why Atlantic pulled the original release.
Linus shares the Christmas message rather well:

Nice animation for Andy William’s song:

And a merry Christmas to you and family!

[DeVaultSetter]

Cool! Seems as if the Royal Suite could be a place of sojourn for any unroyal individual provided they are happy to part company with at least a grand per night of stay. Not for sale anymore. Terrific piccies here, and traps, tunnels and secret passages here.
The Antiques Roadshow’s “Basic, Better & Best” is a fun segment. Here’s a fine set of model cars – which one do you think is the most valuable:

Further back in time, Fiona Bruce was surprised by the verdict on the cigarette cases:

Nice catch! 🙂
Another quantity surveying excursion yielded the original Bookshop sketch:

Oh dear, and a bunch more:

[DeVaultSetter]

For further future research included another joke from Les:

Want to know how to use passwords? The Marx brothers have the answer:

For the effect of extra spam, added this bunch of Brit randoms from YouTube suggest lists:

[DeVaultSetter]

Nice find, anything “Poor-man’s …” is just the lick! 🙂
Another worry is that on the (unlikely) event Fuzzy Canary is hijacked, one actually ends up with undesirable links showing up loud and clear on their blogs – in which unfortunate case your regular Dagwood Bumstead career blogger type would indeed have to face the music the next morning from a rather shocked and peeved Mr Dithers!

Think it is really cool to win a free experience at Lost Wages as a reward for making a Fallout mod. Some of the reactions on that thread are not too receptive to the idea – but hey it’s a prize, right, – no-one (at least to my knowledge – and haven’t gone looking 😛 ) has ever complained of similar trips offered by television game shows for instance.
is it possible Bethesda ever considered opening their own themed palace at Vegas what with game favourites such as blaring radios, Saints and Seducers, Oblivion gates all featuring in manifold money guzzling attractions. Or put it another way – if you were a bank, would you ever provide them the finance for the bricks, mortar and shovel no strings attached? 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

I’ll toast anyone who can fit their apparel in the toasting glass! 🙂
Although we have a wonderful selection of Christmas beetles, this year the gov is waxing poetic with the Khapra beetle so included it for our reading pleasure:

Khapra Claus: The Beetle Nobody Invited
…..
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shed,
Not a creature was stirring all were in bed.
The grain was all stored, the bins sealed with care,
In hope that no Khapra beetle could get in there.

But down in the corner, behind the old rake,
A tiny intruder was plotting a festive outbreak.
It munched on some wheat, then burrowed in deep,
While the farmer snored on in a biosecure sleep.

This beetle’s no rookie – it’s tough as old boots,
It survives without water and snacks on dry fruits.
It sheds little skins as conditions adjust,
And turns golden grain to powder and dust.

It’s exotic to Australia, our number 2 threat,
If it gets in your silo, you’ll break out in sweat.
It’s resistant to sprays, it’s hard to detect,
And once it’s established? Your wallet is wrecked.

So Santa flew in with a sack full of traps,
A checklist and biosecurity maps.
He shouted, “Check it! Inspect every load!
Or Khapra will party in your grain like a cane toad!”

The farmer woke up with a start and a yell,
“Not in my shed – send that beetle back to hell!”
He cleaned out his bins, he checked every crate,
He followed the rules – no room for debate.

So remember this Christmas, while roasting your meat,
Khapra’s no joke – it’ll ruin your wheat.
Declare all your goods, keep your storage pristine,
And make sure your silos stay squeaky clean.

Because nothing says “holiday” quite like a rest,
But Khapra beetle? It fails every test.
So laugh if you must but take this to heart:
Biosecurity’s serious – do your part!

[DeVaultSetter]

Cool, GDB looks like it could be useful. Just curious, can the build be performed successfully through VSCode?

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, YouTube have complied already.
😛 What do the Linux folks think of BSD? What “boots it” when one of them has this tagline quoted from Adams:

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.

Thats’s an amazing offer for such a recent game – have you played it? Oh, and who owns Avalanche? 😛
