Sonic Adventure 2’s problem is that it didn’t have enough speed character stages. iirc, the dark side story only had three shadow stages and that’s it, the rest were either the “meh” eggman stages or the god awful emerald shard stages.

The hero side story wasn’t as bad since it had more sonic stages, but only barely.

I can go back to SA1 quite a bit, because despite the jankiness, the stages are really fun and you can tackle them in many different ways like you could with the Genesis games.

Until recently, that “support” had been a barely supported forks of the linux kernel that were barely updated, and was so locked down that custom rom support was a pipedream on snapdragon processors. Which to be fair, is par for the course on most ARM chipsets (It’s the reason you see a lot of custom roms for android have extremely old and outdated kernels)

I’m glad to see more ARM companies moving towards working with upstream projects, and not just making working on their stuff a PITA to protect “Trade Secrets” or some bullshit like that.

Magic Wormhole protocol. There’s a lot of clients out there. Here’s some:

• https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs

In theory, you could make a fake executable with the mkv file extension on a unix system, by making it a shell script with a bunch of garbage data at the end, marking it executable, and distributing it with a tarball. But the chances someone will do that is insanely low.

Also it has caveats:

1. It’d rely on your double clicking it, and having your file manager not warning you about it.
2. Video players wouldn’t run the shell script code, if it’d run the file at all.

A used mini computer, like a lenovo thinkcentre, hp prodesk mini, and dell optiplex micro.

Yep, my homeserver spends most of it’s time idling, so power management kicks in.

Now when one of my build VMs are running, it’ll get up to that range, but that’s why I said it runs at 10 watts usually

The last time I checked, mine runs at about 5-10 watts usually.

• 16gb DDR3
• 2 1TB SSDs

Depends on your NAS server. If you’re like me and using an old optiplex, you can fit WAY more 2.5" drives in it, and they’re pretty cheap. If you have an actual proper server chassis, then you probably want 3.5" NAS hard drives cuz warranty and all that.

Desktop: Windows Vista Home -> Windows 7 Home -> CentOS 7 -> Debian 8 -> Arch Linux -> OpenSUSE Leap 15 -> Debian 10 -> Slackware

Slackware is probably where i’ll be for the rest of my time on Linux, as unlike other distros, I have no major complaints.

I’ve always hosted stuff at home, even as a kid, so for my homeserver:

Server: Windows XP Pro -> Windows 7 Pro -> CentOS 7 -> CentOS 8 -> Artix Linux -> NetBSD -> OpenBSD -> SmartOS

I don’t miss the days of using WAMP on windows lol

Oh, it’s worse than blocking certain wifi cards, it blocks all wifi cards except what came with the laptop. I mispoke when I called it a blacklist, it’s a whitelist.

You can find good used Dell Latitude’s on ebay for pretty cheap. I’d avoid thinkpads as they have wifi-card blacklists on them.

Slackware with it’s Xfce session would be pretty good

I’ve done it before. It’s not particularly difficult, just very time consuming. And at the end, you’re left with a distribution that’s not really that useful without repackaging everything you did into a package manager so you can do updates without borking it.

Great as a learning tool to see how the whole GNU/Linux stack works, but not something you’d use practically.

Gnome breaking shit for no reason as always =P

Seriously, this is as simple as keeping symbolic links for compatibility, but they won’t do it because it maybe might possibly lead to issues.

Eh, you can host a gitea instance on a $3.50 VPS pretty easily. I don’t think money will be an issue when it comes to hosting and serving.

It’s not tor, it’s supposed to be it’s own anonymizing network since tor doesn’t support UDP or something.

I’ve tried it before, the speeds are abysmal to the point of being unusable. It took me 3 days to download something that was only 50mb when I last tried it.

distcc cluster?
