@whitequark it’s essential caveman Minecraft, it’s dev team created TerraFirmaCraft and then wrote their own engine to replace Minecraft. I haven’t played VS but terrafirmacraft was solid if you like these types of games

So, at this point, I'm debating on if I just want to shutdown this Mastodon server, and just want to know if anyone is even using it on my instance?

@MoepMan I'd move to another instance, likely treehouse.systems and then it would do the redirect so all my follows would transfer.

It's more seeing if any other users are left on this instance besides @BCD

Bad idea -- being installed!

It's the Linux kernel 4.19 building *natively* under Windows XP under Services for UNIX. The amount of effort to get this far was immense ...

Apparently the Windows Terminal is rated E for everyone - why does a terminal app require an age rating ...

My QSL cards arrived!

https://youtu.be/k-PlziHi2Is - so I did something to Adrian Black's PLEXUS system in a Digital Basement somewhere.

I have officially maxed out an M2 processor!

It does seem impossible to get VMWare Fusion demos anymore. Damn it, I needed that to test OpenBSD/arm64

TIL I learned you need to enable hyperthreading on OpenBSD by hand.

I get the security risk, but man, it would have helped to figure out why it was much slower than expected.

I wonder if the problem on MBP was due to the same factor.

Man, I get some wild YouTube recommendations at times ...

So just heard a new type of scam literially done on my neighbor. The guy posed as the local utility worker, and got the bill, and then added himself to the neighor's iDevice FaceID.

I saw this scam in the past, but he managed to hook my neigherbor. I wasn't able to stop that, but I warned them shortly afterwards, and told them to reset FaceID and be careful.

Sometimes all you can do ...

I got to say having put in a lot of long hours with netBSD as of late, I am really wondering how viable moving some of my servers over to *BSD is.

So when I asked people who 'tested' NetBSD-10, they confirmed that the CD boots.

I haven't found a confirmed report of *installed to HDD yet*.

This is tomorrows project.

Having spent 30 minutes doing *something else*, this could a PTY problem, as that's one of the major differences between INSTALL and GENERIC, and the behavior seems like its just bad console data (as if it was using the wrong baud speed).

At this point it's going to require finding what config options influence the behavior, and then bisecting that code to find the problem.

Well, NetBSD-10 GENERIC doesn't boot on the MicroVAX.

NetBSD 10-INSTALL *does*, and will infact boot a system off the HDD if its recompiled to remove the RAMdisk.

We're going to bave to do some debugging next stream.
