lol, EV was special. It was also pretty easy to mod with plug-ins using macos resource fork hackery, even to a kid, and all of the original game data was replaceable just by creating something with the same ID in a plug-in. Cap’n Hector became an angry invincible shuttlecraft with a single laser cannon. now that I’m old enough to afford a license, the company is gone and there’s no way, so I guess I’m stuck with him like this forever.
I agree with you. The other people in this thread are quick to judge and could stand to learn from some of the wisdom in the shows about which they have such strong feelings.
all kinds of people… lol
teleporters will have keys like vehicles and buildings, to prevent unauthorized access.
I like rsnapshot, run from a cron job at various useful intervals. backups are hardlinked and rotated so that eventually the disk usage reaches a very slowly growing steady state.
DEET works… but it’s worth mentioning that it will utterly destroy the polycarbonate lenses used for modern eyeglasses
it’s possible to run windows in a VM on Linux (Microsoft even provides one intended for developers)
is it counting android as linux?
if so, it shouldn’t be, imo. android is deployed and used differently than Linux and is not really the same in spirit. if you can’t have root, I’d not count it as Linux for the purposes of something like this.
UDP hole punching could be regarded as a clever “hack”
it’s amazing that you’ve been downvoted for saying you pay for a service you use that’s not ad-riddled junk. how else do people expect these entities to make money that pays for servers, employees, etc.? someone operates the hardware and it’s not free.
a literal child may not have the capacity to learn from the interaction, yet. maybe other people reading it will, though.
Funtoo is a bit of both. It’s not as current as Gentoo but the tradeoff is not having to rebuild the toolchain every few weeks.
that’s not necessarily what it means. some things legitimately are easier to explain in person. ever try working out a complicated mathematical argument in an email? one can do it, but it’s not pretty. in person you can write on paper, draw figures, etc., synchronously with your compatriot observing and even participating. it’s not merely a change of medium from text to sound.
I don’t read formality in these either, fwiw. in fact they’re generally pretty casual.
ultimately, you will need some kind of access to something with at least one port open, if you intend to host services on the clearnet. you could use tor if onion services will work for you. if you have ssh access somewhere with a port open (or a friendly sysadmin), you could tunnel to there and redirect incoming connections back through the tunnel. same thing with a VPN, if the sysadmin is really friendly.
syncthing works on every device and substitutes for cloud storage services. pictures taken with a phone end up quickly in the shared folder on my desktop. etc.
can’t say I’ve ever done this. better to figure out why it’s broken and fix it so that the next time I encounter that kinda problem, I can fix it quickly.
the magnetic domains slowly relax. if you plug it in once or twice a decade, you can significantly reduce the changes of that happening to an extent that you lose data.
