They're quite versatile computers for general purposes, but their i/o performance is dreadful. Mine all max out at about ten megabytes per second. That will not do, for server purposes.

Fortunately, there's businesses all over that are chucking out all their old mini PCs since they won't run Win11. I got an extremely decent one for £20 and it's my new home server. Absolutely storms it, while just sipping at electricity.

... which is ironic, since SystemD is what happens when someone comes up with a problem to fix your solution.

Negative value would indicate "paying you to take them", which doesn't make any sense, unless there's a forfeit associated with having any.

Really, share prices should be on a logarithmic graph. You care whether your shares are now worth eg. twice as much or half as much as you paid for them originally. The actual number of shares that you could buy with a given amount of money isn't as interesting.

Dang. If only they had some kind of security scanning tool that could catch that kind of thing.

It was quite prone to crashing-to-desktop and certain PC configurations had bizarre graphics issues, but I did play through it on hardcore in the week of release and had a great time with it. Just needed to quicksave a lot.

The kind of bugs that it did not have a lot of were quest bugs. Bethesda's own games are 'wide but shallow', and very few quests in the world seem to interlink with each other, but despite that, they're very easy to break accidentally, or cannot be completed due to flag issues. Oblivion managed to wrangle up a complex plot with tonnes of interrelated parts, and it mostly just worked.

What F:NV could have been if it had been made in a good engine... Most of the times where it got dinged in review scores were for bugginess and instability. Trying to build a castle upon sand; there's only so much you can do before all the cracks appear.

The fruit was originally called a norange, from Spanish naranja, but that sounds a bit awkward in English so the n moved over to make it an orange instead.

Alas, no.

I call mine 'little Elvis', because that's what Elvis called his, and it's always struck me as a good name for it.

Yeah. Am using Connect on my phone, which shows "comments to the same link" all in one view. That's not quite right; would be better if it showed all of the posts that had the same link together too, but it's a massive improvement.

Not suggesting we should have Fark-style 'only one post per link', because that ended up having some, eh, niche blog takes on news articles, since you couldn't post mainstream articles. But accumulating posts with the same link or same post together would be great.

Okay - that'll be interesting. There's not much "the future Addams family" in that collection; there's quite a lot of creepy-and-kooky, a fair amount of 1940s humour that's aged really badly (misogyny and foreigners with funny ways) and also a fair amount of stuff that I just don't understand at all. Will be pleased to see the 'wisdom of the crowds' for what's actually going on in some of them.

Bit of a prototypical Far Side in a way. Addams has a fair amount more technical skill than Larson, but can be a lot meaner in his jokes; they're very much about an 'everyday picture with funny caption' or vice-versa.

Been a while since I've had to use that piece-of-shit in anger; but doesn't the "save as" options give you the possibility of saving it as HTML but with all of those changes baked in? It's easier to copy-paste HTML.

Was about to recommend the same thing; I just couldn't get anywhere on Silksong with a normal pad, had to set it up for a fight stick to have proper control.

Only got yourself to blame for diagonals with these bad boys:

Of course, 8bitdo's stuff is awesome, but Steam controllers are awesomer.
