So for you you’re much more just on the vocal side? Or a mix of vocal and rhythm?

So Oceanlab is Above and Beyond with Justine Suissa (who is amazing). But yeah as a group sans-Justine they are also very much melodic and generally vocal trance.

Oh wow so many flashbacks on this one…

Oh you wanna hear about my WAP? My WAP is in your face! Suck it up!

I hate to say it, but it feels like an affront because you don’t get ‘x’?

A big one for me is Oceanlab - Breaking Ties

Lots of history there with an ex… But it’s all valid too (if that makes sense)

I’ve done a bunch of transcoding of things to x265 in the past (as I’m sure everyone is aware transcoding isn’t GREAT but cuts down on storage costs). With that said I’ve now moved to AV1. I don’t use GPU encoders at all as I found the quality to be pretty terrible. I just use a custom written ZSH script to go through and check the current format (it also converts audio to OPUS too)

A bunch of friends and I have been playing Sniper Elite 5. It’s a mixed bag of varied experience. Some are terrible but just enjoy the shit talking (I’m one of those) and others just kick the crap out of the rest of us. But it’s a fun bonding experience too since you can have up to 4 teams against each other and just need to make sure there’s a fairly even balance.

Same here for the same reasons (although I started with FreeBSD 4.x) and have adapted to ZFS and Jails over the years.

The POLA (Principle Of Least Astonishment) when it comes to changes is awesome too.

I’m trying to remember this correctly, but traditionally /home is a symlink of /usr/home. I think that’s deprecated and you should now just have /home

A couple of years ago I ended up in the 1% because of one single thing I posted 2 weeks after I signed up purely to generate some rage because so many subs needed minimum karma… Can completely attest to this.

Hahaha, I remember OctaMed. My older brothers had A500s then A1200s. I had a CD32 for a while too until realised it was a dead platform (although Liberation kicked arse).

I know that feeling lol, I had ‘friends’ who were only friends because they got games from Singapore and the UK and I’d just want to pirate them but we weren’t actually friends.

I remember that too. So many memories… Curious as to whether you were an Amiga person too? I’ve found Commodore wasn’t very well known at all in the US but the UK, Australia and most of Europe it was super popular.

For quite literally years I couldn’t remember the name of that game so thank you! I use VICE these days as an emulator and one of my friends had that game but literally couldn’t remember the name.

Yeah it’s a pain in the arse. I 100% recommend Broadcom or Intel NICs for a router. I have a fileserver which has several Intel NICs and a single Realtek one and the latter is a PITA.

If you’re using any FreeBSD-based OS you should manually compile the realtek-re-kmod port. Make sure your kernel source is in sync with what you’re running.

Mine would be kinda interesting. I think it’d be more fun to write because I still have NFI how it worked out the way it did (answer is mostly right place/right time).

A few psych hospitalisations and suicide attempts, dropped out of high school at 15, no degree, but ended up a technical director at a company, burnt out and took a much less stressy software dev manager gig, married, divorced (in a very WTF?! kinda way of us splitting up), lots of interesting psych issues, broken upbringing, definitely some substance abuse thrown in there… Most of that isn’t in chronological order.

But it looks like it might be OK. Everything’s settled down a lot, dating someone, looking to my future and it doesn’t seem as dim as it used to be.

My cats are indoors only, in part because I’m worried they’ll be abused/stolen but also because they are apex predators. I’ve seen them even just playing and they’re… Brutal. I have literal scars from them ‘playing’.

But they’re happy. And safe. It’s OK for them to be indoors cats if I just keep them stimulated. They have zoomies, they get a bit shitty at times but they’re fine.
