  • You should look into IPMI console access, that’s usually the real ‘only way out of this’

    SSH has a lot of complexity but it’s still the happy path with a lot of dependencies that can get in your way- is it waiting to do a reverse dns lookup on your IP? Trying to read files like your auth key from a saturated or failing disk? syncing logs?

    With that said i am surprised people are having responsiveness issues under full load, are you sure you weren’t running out of memory and relying heavily on swapping?




  • the question then becomes how much weight are you adding/energy are you consuming by having to carry the weight. I honestly don’t know and considering how heavy batteries are it is likely not that significant, but if you are only getting a few % charge a day then anything eating into that is going to hurt.

    I still see some merit in a more utility style vehicle where you do expect to take it out camping, but for a daily commuter I think most people would prefer the sunroof to the trickle charging.

    Also as an apartment dweller… I just wish they’d make normal wall outlets more available. Not everyone needs a proper fast charger but only having a few inconveniently located ones to fight for also sucks. But if more spots could just plug in and slow charge that would be a huge improvement


  • it depends on the game imo. in the end so what it takes to enjoy it it’s your free time. but it’s also easy to remove the enjoyment entirely, and at some point you are better off just modding what you want in.

    Nethacks a good example of that. permadeath is pretty key to the way the game was designed. restoring a backup save file does help when youre starting out but then why not just enable explorer mode and keep going?

    Or if you’re reloading saves in bg3 every time the dice rolls are bad… why not just get a mod to do infinite rerolls or always roll perfectly?


  • it sounds like the unlikely outcome of two reasonable policies.

    1. you might not get back the device you send in - say it’s a simple broken screen and they’re willing to cover it. its easier to just send you an already refurbished identical model and then toss your phone into the queue to be fixed later.

    2. unauthorized parts may violate your warranty and whatever you send in isn’t going to get repaired.

    They should still just return it. but if you know it’s not covered you shouldn’t really send it in and it makes sense to cover their ass policy wise even if they do make an effort to just return them.


  • There was the original quake/quake world team fortress, ported reasonably accurately to halflife as TFC officially

    Unofficially pretty much every game that was moddable at the time had some variant of fortress. unreal fortress, quake 3 fortress, enemy territory fortress(basically q3f but made free by porting to a free game)… and even when halflife2 came out that trend continued and the community made Fortress’s Forever.

    All of those games feel very much the same, some with slight additions, but all clearly the same ‘DNA’.

    And then there’s TF2 which released with a last minute decision to remove both grenades and the class specific utility grenade. And RNG crits. And then over time they even added ways you could majorly change how each character played as cosmetic only hats were replaced with things like turning the demonan into a melee knight…

    I’m not saying all of this to still be rehashing complaints about TF2 in 2024… but just to add some context when I say that TF2 was a huge departure from the DNA of Team Forteess, and it’s totally okay for TF3 to change things up yet again.

    Many TF2 diehards will consider it disrespectful and complain, just as I made these same complaints when TF2 released. But it will be okay. TF3 would get its own audience and get a new generation loving it the way you love TF2 and I loved TF



  • not OP but I’d love something like this for a few reasons.

    Sometimes I’m debugging really complicated things and it gets hard to keep track of the info I’ve captured and what I’ve learned, and sometimes you want to recheck some earlier assumption or you learn something new and want to look through older data captured to see if it aligns with newer understandings

    Or it’s a long standing thing and need to step away and come back and refresh your memory of the current understanding. And especially when others might also be working on the same problem and you want to collaborate better.

    Though I am SRE and thinking of debugging issues in overall systems spanning multiple codebases, hosts, and networks. not just specific bugs in a single codebase like I think OP is doing. So I’m also curious if any tool would actually fit both use cases or if being perfect for one would make it not useful for the other.


  • it’s not a valid comparison really. this is an alternative to an emulator than a ROM.

    If you used this to compile a native version of space invaders that ran incorrectly it would be no worse than if you used an emulator to run space invaders that ran incorrectly. in either case you treat it as a bug in the emulator/recompiler and fix it and re run the process.

    Nobody is suggesting deleting their roms and keeping only the current copy of a recompiled game. I don’t think that would even work… as far as I know you still need the original ROM to load inside of the recompiled executable for the non-code assets.

    Agreed but I think the intent is still interesting. My interpretation would be that you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation. Id still say yes but I’m curious if that changes it for you.

    The more simplified question would be just not bringing your phone or a camera, but then id say no as that just sounds like a dangerous trap and isn’t really what the question is trying to ask- it’s more 'would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went? ’
