May have been a renewal hiccup. Now all of the subdomains are showing up as they should in the certificate information with the next renewal set for April. I know in the Linode, it would sometimes take a day or so for the renewal to complete. Never did figure out why. It occurred even when I would run the command manually

Didn’t even notice that omission. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. It’s too bad hovercraft never took off, they were quite useful. The issue with wind was probably too big of a problem for them to have good staying power, though. Lakes and such get a lot of wind!

Just went on a Wiki journey and found out the DC did a Superboy TV show that I…[Read more]

So that’s what it’s called! Here’s a bit of a list of credits for what the piece is used in: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006309/ It’s used a lot!

Will see if I can catch them over here!

Still making my way through the Bond films. Hit the Roger Moore era the other day. It’s quite different from the Connery era but I like it for its cheesiness.…[Read more]

Read Blake Crouch’s Run the other day. It was a brutal book and only recommended if you’re in the mood for something that gets the heart pounding. It’s really heavy.

Working on prepping for the upcoming cold blast. Weather report is not consistent with precipitation. The weekly forecast says 20% but the hourly says 80% so it’s pretty confusing.…[Read more]

That was years ago, around 2016 or so? Something like that. The fix was to move the HUD to the center monitor and adjust the FOV in the INI file. The issue was a sluggish UI that went away when only a single monitor was used. After making those adjustments, the game worked pretty normally. 🙂

I think the LAA flag needs to be used like Skyrim with…[Read more]

Sounds like it’s something with some of the embedded ads. 🙁

Yeah, dealer fees are a bit insane. Unfortunately, we have laws that prevent manufacturers from running their own dealers so that the individual dealers don’t get priced out. Yep, the dealers lobbied for such treatment. And, if you try to special order something, it can get complicated.…[Read more]

Sorry, been tired again. Probably just trying to take on too much.

Anyways! Yeah, let’s try to contact them. Dave did say I could use a fork but didn’t have the details handy so that may be permission from him on that front.

Without a license in the code, it means that anyone who wants to work on our version, even though we got permission, would…[Read more]

I don’t care how crappy the aerodynamics are, this car looks awesome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delahaye_135

Most cars these days lack originality in their designs! They all look the same! Except for the ones that cost five digits. Granted, even those use practically the same design: a rounded triangle 😛

Will update the other thread later but it looks like my charging issues are related to a wonky outlet. Lamp worked but the chargers didn’t. Now the chargers work on that outlet so it sounds like it wasn’t putting out enough current or voltage. Going to need to get it tested. Could do it myself but I don’t want to risk shocking myself on a live…[Read more]

Not sure I can get it here but will take a look 🙂

Haven’t seen it in a few years so I’m going to get Dr Strangelove on the list for a rewatch. It’s an incredible film!

Okay, just did some digging to try and clear up what happens when a license isn’t applied and came across this post. Basically, even though Dave intended the original to be Apache or MIT but, since he didn’t explicitly mention the licenses in the project, we can’t go ahead and use Nimrod’s fork because they didn’t apply a license to their own work…[Read more]

This came in the other day: https://boingboing.net/2025/01/12/synchronized-ice-skaters-dressed-as-giant-ice-skates.html

😀

The main quest is only eight hours long but it has been confirmed that an expansion is in the works. 😛

Yeah, the Scream films are fun. Lot of great satire in them, too! Haven’t seen many past 3 or so. The newest and oldest ones are available but not the middle ones and I don’t like skipping installments 🙁

Another candidate for physical media?…[Read more]

That repository looks better but there isn’t a license associated with the code. Any way we can contact them to see about getting permission to use their fork?

Yeah, we can use the project files to extract the includes and add them into the C++ source. That’s what I did with the BOSS code. 🙂

Still need to finish setting up my Geany workspace.…[Read more]

Took a closer look at all three code repos just now. There are definitely some missing files. Should I ask Dave about them? That would explain why I haven’t been able to follow the newest repo, such as the IO operations. The newest one appears to be mostly the GUI implementation and not the backend stuff.

Started watching the Fallout series on Prime the other day to get my Fallout fix in until I’m able to get something working on the computer (been a little bit busy with a slightly different project….:P). It’s really good! They did an incredible job capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the games and is a blast to boot!

Fun fact: under “Related…[Read more]

Got confirmation that the code is actually under the MIT license. He didn’t have any comments regarding the code so we’ll probably just need to figure it out as we go. Just cloned the repository so I’ll start going through it 🙂

Definitely want to look at doing some rearranging of the directory structure. I’m just not a big fan of having a lot of…[Read more]

Yuck. Intel’s driver scanning tools are quite useful. I’ve used them in the past back before Windows was better at detecting all of the needed drivers. 🙁

Looks like there’s another BIOS update available over here. May hold off a bit as we know how that went last time 😛

Fire control is a bit of a contentious issue over here. Over the years, we weren’t managing the forests properly and allowing them to burn so now they’ve got good conditions to burn out of control. It also affected their reproduction and diversity. We’ve been trying to correct things with controlled burns to clear out the fire hazards but that…[Read more]

Thanks, will try those. I’m a little surprised that it can’t be done per application in Radeon Settings. Still better than changing the refresh rate to 60 Hz. 🙂

Failing all this, I could just wait until Microsoft has them release a remastered version in ten or so years. Microsoft likes their remasters. They did two remasters for Age of Mythology! 😛
