I find the whoop-yeah enthusiasm of the corporate presentation presenters quite disturbing.

I see the streaming companies are all innovating hard to make their products worse than torrents again in the name of number go up.

How silly of me to assume the post office might have been open at lunchtime.

My dad has a Switch 2 and the new Zelda and Mario games, but you can't borrow it.

Stressful work day ahead. Things I wrote are being remote installed in user premises, and we had to make last-minute changes I'm not entirely convinced about. Fingers crossed.

First one did not go well, because no one thought to give the remote person Administrator (yes, it's Windows) access despite repeatedly being told it was essential.

@klord Did your Firebat box come with DDR4 or DDR5?

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@klord Thinking more of the power usage. The one I'm looking at just says "16G" ... I'll see if theres others that spec the memory type. Cheers.

Looking about for a new, smaller NASbox.

I like that the USB ports are on the back so I can velcro my M2 RAID enclosure to the top easily.

Be nice to find a DDR5 one like that though.

I could get a tiny one this and bung it and the drive enclosure in a uATX case I have lying around 🤔 It wouldn't matter then where the USB ports are.

Gonna leave it there for now. I'm really fecking tired today and there's burgers that need grilling soon.

Mo' physics, 'mo assumptions proved wrong.

Added "supporting" objects with individual gravity, which will be the basis for moving platforms and maybe also lifts. Free bonus iso-sort glitching too.

I'm not actually sure this multiple block stacking and pushing stuff will be needed, but it sort of falls out naturally from the physics I do need.

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

It just worked :)

Platforms will need a "hover" flag or similar so the player gravity movement won't affect them is all.

Camera is janky still, I haven't looked at it really.

There's a pingy noise coming from one of the drives in my NASbox every time it's accessed. No errors reported in the OS or ZFS ... annoying though. Maybe I should move up the N100/SSD based replacement project.

Today I added the search to the text files too and I started revising the code to optimize it... while I was fixing things I thought to make the program multilingual, so I started transferring all the hardcoded strings into a array which will be overwritten in case of languages other than the native one.
I initially thought of using tags to search for strings dynamically, but I'm afraid of slowing down the entire program which instead needs to be as fast as possible.

@allanon Did you look into the OS localisation support? locale.library, catalogs and so on. 3.x required though.

Got tangled up in the Belfast Marathon on my cycle this morning. It’s on the same weekend every year, and every year I forget about it and get snarled up in road closures. You’d think I’d remember.

@shezza_t eh well I let out a yelp when I went to wash my back earlier. Shoulder doesn’t bend that way today. I’ve hurt it a few times on bikes, should probably stop that.

Currently prevented from doing any work thanks to the IT Prevention Department.

Prevention Update: still prevented, and IT are now bickering over who's responsibility it is to unprevent it.

It's not their fault. Removal of local admin access was mandated from on high without a plan for people who need local admin to do their work.

The Facepalm is strong today.

@48kRAM @shezza_t ...and it did ;)
