That is one weird cable! I’m guessing someone took a regular ethernet cable and replaced the connector on one end so it could be used for ADSL.

Ethernet will still run on it, but only at like 10mbps. Which would be enough for your Phillips hub, but please just toss it and replace it with a proper ethernet cable.

Mary wishes you to know that nothing is happening, everything is fine

Fuck yeah NixOS! I freaking love declarative config!

I’m so glad I can finally clean my boots efficiently

I use NixOS, btw

Listen my spoons from the 1950’s cannot be beat. I hate how hard it is to find them.

What’s “WoD”?

I’d love to know the technical reasoning for this. It probably has to do with clock frequency multipliers like when doing serial comms your baud needs to be pretty close to the spec but it’s pretty much never going to be exact.

Yeah in Melbourne several years back we had a heat wave that fucked up a bunch of the train tracks.

Isn’t the thunk-thunk as you’re travelling the wheels of the carriage passing over the expansion joints?.

I want to learn rust but I don’t think I have the socks for it

Cucumber is the worst part of a watermelon.

That gameplay looks a lot like my old school favourite ut2004. Can you comment on how it compares?

• lightposts are generally steel, an axe wouldn’t do much
• 1.5m is kinda short for a lightpost

I think more to the point is that there’s already a word with this meaning.

We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.

AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).

My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.

AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.

AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but… Naah. It just doesn’t have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.

We prefer the term “wagile”.

I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.

The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard.

Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS

Why can’t I scroll on that site?

I hated it.
