I became a stay at home dad a few years ago, so while I have given up some work stress, I received a different kind of stress.

Don’t get too excited, this is an extremely rare occurrence for me as it’s only happened once before. But 12 years ago when I worked in a call center doing tech support in the US. It was near constant nightmares about getting calls in the call center, and the beep in the headset. I didn’t get good sleep or enough sleep between shifts. You win some you lose some.

I had a dream not too long ago (week maybe) where I didn’t dream about an event or a past, but I dreamt about a project I was working on and I invented something for myself that I can actually build right now if I wanted, but it is meant for me a decade or two in the future.

I’m a wood carver and I’m currently carving a gift for my brother in law. The dream was me fixing a lot of the things I had issue with in the project, and a future idea about my parents that I’ll be writing down and brainstorming until the times comes that I’ll probably want to build it.

True I did forget to sing the praises of the black nes cart, and honestly they are nicer looking than the mass-market official grey carts we got.

Interesting that they released a game on the digital store when the predecessor basically gave the middle finger to Nintendo and made their own carts for the nes that were not authorized. their carts would use in-built switches to bypass the drm chip on the nes.

If you also live in Europe or set up your computer in the US with European English then you can also skirt some of the ads as well

The home edition of windows has these ads baked in, but the pro/enterprise editions seem to be able to avoid this for now.

I waited to see if anyone mentioned it, but, POD. A old 1997 racing game from Microsoft built by Ubisoft. You can get the gold edition on GoG for rather cheap but I would absolutely love to see a remaster or remake. Unfortunately I would rather it not be made by Ubisoft as I don’t want to be forced into a separate account login setup from Ubisoft.

Ubuntu 4.10 “warty”

My profile has my matrix name. I figured people have known that was a feature for lemmy profiles, but I guess that was my mistake.

@codname_goose:matrix.org

Every section had missing downloads. But with some web inspection, I found some interesting obfuscation using what I think is JavaScript on the web pages that “used” to hold the download links, for the files that were requested to be removed. If we can figure out how to reverse the code to reveal the link again we could grab (assuming they are still on the server) the files manually.

If you want to chat about this I’m on matrix

I can confirm that the script still works, but sadly the site owner of Vim has removed the file from the server. The script sees a file link but will download nothing. When testing the script with just NES, it will see a game, but will throw an error of “remote files name has no length”, so going forward you could test via a vpn and see if they adjusted their files to be available via a country that doesn’t care, or they just haven’t gotten around to cleaning up their file directory list post removal.

P.S. the script showed that 23 field failed to download so one can assume those files were the one Nintendo decided to have them remove.

If you are getting a copy of the book and they say it’s from the hardback first edition or at least the hardback then you have a decent chance to find online resources that will tell you how many pages that particular edition had. If it’s a straight up epub from another source and not scans, then you could use some software to do a word comparison and see what the changes are/were between copies. Thankfully if it’s the book or series I think it is there were no abridged (shortening the book by removing parts that don’t contribute to the story) copies made that I’m aware of.

I’m sorta, kinda, mostly illiterate, when it comes to what you are doing with adobe. Are you just installing like normal and then copy/paste the Adobe folder from the programs folder into a wine directory?

If you have a GBC I would recommend super Mario bros deluxe. gives you SMB and the Japanese SMB 2 along with a bunch of of unlockable QoL fun feature like time attack, save files, and a red coin challenge.

I love coffee, but as I’ve gotten older acid reflux has been a more common issue that I must remedy. I currently drink a loose-leaf oolong green tea, called “milk oolong” it’s gentle on my stomach and provides me with some caffeine, and I make enough to last me most of the day in a double insulated mug. During the spring and summer I cold-steep 10 bags of Lipton’s black tea in a large pitcher over night and use that for the next 2-3 days.

Last question if I may, what recorder did/are you using in tandem with this splitter?

Any chance you remember the brand or manufacturer so that I might look for one, for myself?

Can’t wait to not be able to order one.
