RIP Hobo Shoestring.

@LS650 @doctorclu @_The Doctor__
Okay, no. That would have been @shoestring. Sorry for the confusion. Resume normality.

I am giving away my ticket in the Marketplace as I cannot make it. I would love to put it in someone's hands!

After Windows 10 October update: "Hey! You know that search bar you deliberately turned off in the task bar? Well, it's so fucking awesome that we turned it back on for you, and we're going to put random trending search results in your Start menu! Rejoice!"
I cannot "NOPE" hard enough.

@bent_pin It is mostly over but for replacing it. I am going to post on it later on.

@bent_pin I have all that shyte turned off. But, somehow, amazingly, some stuff will turn on every so often. For the first time in my 25 year career, I am seriously considering moving to Linux desktop, especially if I have to face Windows 11 soon. We do not own our computers if we cannot trust the settings we make will stay in place, and I would hazard to extend that to if our computer keeps trying to sell us shit like OneDrive and Office and Xbox 360 games and...

My AtariAge "Last Chance" purchase might wind up being the best Christmas gift I ever got myself
-
@bent_pin Oh, so true, and it slipped my mind! How awesome would it be to get my 2600+ and my Last Chance purchases at the same time? Oh!

Well, that happened... on a business trip and my car (I am the business, so my car,) was stolen from my hotel parking lot. Beware the "safety features" of your car which keep doors from locking. They can be your undoing.

So it hit me, my old Android 7 tablet is in the car running Wiggle, and it is still showing up in my data usage. I thought to myself, HEY! Google tracks everything, so how do I do it? I go to the find my device page and guess what: my account has been deleted. Even though Google Play on that tablet is not only logged in, the account has (had) a few bucks on it, and it still gives (gave) me pop-ups to set my birth date. So, yeah, Google told me to get fucked, my account was dormant for too long.

@Charlie Cat Not where, yet. They are working on that.
@bent_pin Nothing critical. I empty the car in situations like this as I have expected at some point I would get broken into. It is a numbers game: the more I travel, the more I place myself in unknown exposure to potential criminal element, the more opportunity to be victimized.

Well, iiRcade is dead. I guess this is what happens when you are not on social media, you miss out on noticing that the company apparently called it quits in June. Kind-of pissed about this as I Kickstarted (or GoFundMe, whatever it was,) the system, getting the 128GB unit with Dragon's Lair, and was slowly building up my library, including some of the ColecoVision releases, and had not yet purchased all of the Digital Leisure titles (what was I waiting for, right?)
Anyway, I cannot sit through an hour of this to determine what they mean by sort-of closing the company, and it pisses me off that the website mentions nothing about this in its news section. This seems like news. Oh, but its Twitter feed has been dead forever, too.
Well, I guess this can become a retroPi system, or something like that.
Fuuuuuuuuuuu.......

Important news for anyone who uses the PayPal Business Debit Mastercard with a linked bank account: there is a huge change coming on September 12, 2023. I have two PayPal Business Debit Mastercards linked to two different business bank accounts as backup funding. Backup funding allows transactions to be pulled from a bank account when the funds are not in your PayPal account. Essentially, it turns it into a real debit card, but with 1% cash back.
However, the latest PayPal legal update includes this line:
"The Backup Funding Source linked bank account feature of the PayPal Business Debit Mastercard will no longer be available." Reading the updated cardholder agreement, sure enough, the backup funding source is not listed.
Read all of the PayPal legal updates here.

@bent_pin Definitely going to change my habits. Means I have to update a lot of accounts to use my bank card, but PayPal does not get processing fees from my purchases anymore. Oh, well.

Help! I need followers on Rumble so I can test live streaming for upcoming VCF-SE! I have been using Twitch, but I keep getting hit with copyright because of background music at events or incorrectly identified music playing on games -- my Dragon's Lair streams apparently trigger for some band which did some kind of cover. It takes me an hour or more to go through an entire day's stream to clear out the claims.
In order to stream, Rumble requires I have five followers or pay. I promise, I am not trying to be cheap and I do want to support alternative tech, but I need to test to make sure everything is going to work before I start dumping money. So, if you would be so kind, please follow my OLD CS1 channel here: https://rumble.com/c/c-3233296

I went ahead and plonked down the $10 for this month. It tested out very well. I just need to work on graphics and OBS scenes. Also found out you cannot use more than one Microsoft LifeCam Studio cameras on the same system (wtf?) The only shortcoming I see is that you can live stream as one of your channels, but not chat. So, when I chat, I am not chatting as OLD_CS1, but rather as my parent account. Not much of a bother for VCF purposes as I will be too busy with the exhibit to be in the chat.

My grandmother's favorite music these days is hip pop.

A tale of two VDSLs: one bonded, one not. The not bonded has a bad modem, built into a firewall, the configuration of which is not compatible with its replacement so a ton of manual copying has to occur. The second line of the bonded has gone shitty, but a tech will be out tomorrow.
In the meantime, instead of glorious 80/10 (load balanced,) I am at 22/1.2. Oh, the humanity!!
-
@_The Doctor__ Nah, two completely different modems. One is an Actiontec bonded C2000A, the other is a DrayTek Vigor 2860 with built-in xDSL. One line bonded, the other not, the bonded has a bad second channel from the CO, and the Vigor's modem is putting noise on its line. I probably have an unnecessarily complex layout, but I have site-to-site VPNs, multiple VLANs, LTE fail-over, yadda yadda. I just let stuff get out of hand.
Actually, yes, I was on (IIRC) Broadband forums wayyyy back when I worked for the local ISP.

What do white lines do??

@Corby That would be pink.

127.0.0.1 door mats are stupid. The saying is, "There's no place like home." This mat would say, "There's no place like localhost." Additionally, having it to greet people, or be a warm welcome upon return to your home, is silly because no visitor could ever reach your 127.0.0.1 and you would have never left.

I am reminded today of a young man whose life was unnecessarily ended by his own hand. I was both saddened and angered by this news as working with him I saw someone with talent, dreams, and unrealized potential. He left behind a son to whom, in life, he was a dedicated father.
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, injuring yourself, or simply cannot see a future for you in this world, please, please, seek help. You are never as alone as you think. You have friends and loved ones who are waiting for you, some desperate that you cannot find your way. No one in your life is better off without you. Where those close to you may not be able to help fully, a professional can, and there are many out there who care and will help.
It is easier now more than ever to reach someone who will help. Just call or send a text message to 988. Someone is there every hour of every day, for you. All you have to do is make the call. Asking for help is not weakness; it takes strength to reach out, and you have it in you to take that first step.
-
@GoldLeader I am sorry for your losses. A brother is tragic enough, but there is no reason, none whatsoever, a 19 year-old should feel the need to end a life which has barely begun.

First order of 16TB drives direct from Western Digital were damaged because they just threw them into the box to ship. Had to wait and trade up to 18TB drives, the condition of which I may never know because the box is either lost or stolen. Maybe this is a sign that my 27.6TB is plenty enough space and I just need to make do.

@x=usr(1536) I ordered four WD Red Pros. They are pretty much on-par with the Golds. The Golds are heavier, louder, hotter, longer MTBF, and five year warranty. The Red Pro have three year, but the performance is pretty close to the Golds. For the purposes of a home-office NAS which does Plex, two iSCSI LUNs, and regular file shares... well, these will be just fine. I have four 10TB red Pro drives in, now.

@ClassicGMR I wonder if there is an AA award for "Most Popular Status Update."

@GoldLeader Thanks for the shout-out! I admit, while I post status updates, I never see them from anyone because I jump right into the TI sub. I probably should be a little more social, though it is a genuine step outside of a comfort zone.
But, to the question at hand, I have no idea. I do not own any modern consoles or gaming systems. The last console I ever owned was an X-Box with an interesting pedigree, and that was kind-of a loaner.

tfw a 16GB SD card actually is just less than 16GB (raw and unformatted,) and a 16GB image taken of another 16GB SD card will not restore to it.

I thought being laid up for a week would be a good opportunity to get some work done without distraction. I have been too groggy to even think crookedly, forget about thinking straight enough to do anything.
