  • Zelda 2.

    It’s divisive, but I like it. I have fond memories of playing that game with my dad when I was young. When we reached the great palace, I died so quickly that he once got up early and started playing at 5am to farm extra lives for me. I went into the palace with 26 extra lives.

    …I didn’t die at all on that run.

    I still play it about once per year. In fact, I just finished it again about a week ago. I want to play the remade fan game, I just haven’t had time to sit and get it setup.

    I bought the 512Gb OLED, and within two months decided I needed to upgrade the storage. I replaced the drive with a 2Tb drive, and I’m much happier. That said, I download a ton of stuff and keep it on there. I don’t often play a single game straight through, so I like having the ability to have a wide variety at any given time. Replacing the drive is trivial if you’re handy at all.

    I would buy direct, I wouldn’t trust getting something second hand. I’m sure plenty of people are selling their LCD for an OLED, but I would rather go direct unless you’re getting an amazing deal and have some level of purchase protection.




  • Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

    emphasis mine

    How do you interpret that?

    I read the man page, but I didn’t see the answer to your question in there.

    I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they’re separate filesystems, probably aren’t included. You’d have to run a separate dump for each one.

    Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.


  • Our pediatrician approached the question of COVID vaccination for my daughter very gently with me. As soon as she started I saw her demeanor change and I could tell she was getting ready to change course quickly (presumably) in case I went off on a rant or something.

    She immediately snapped back to normal when I told her “Absolutely, yes, if she can get it let’s make it happen.” We had just been waiting for it to be available.

    I feel bad for what she likely had to deal with from others. She’s a fricking doctor, trying her best to keep children healthy, and now she is clearly getting enough shit from some parents that she’s gunshy about even bringing up certain important topics. It’s crazy.


  • The untested legal gambit is a last-ditch effort to bar the candidacy of an ex-president who remains popular with his base instigated an insurrection against the nation and constitution he swore to uphold.

    FIFY…his popularity is not the issue here. It never was. It’s about actions he took, and what the law says happens at this point. I don’t care how much his base loves him. We can see that even today, after all the history we have, people still support Hitler. People are fucking idiots, but that’s not illegal. Inciting an insurrection is, however.



  • This is the way.

    I started by just eating less. I cut portions and started counting calories. I did the math and started staying under my number, and the pounds just melted off.

    A couple months later, I added biking and walking. I’m trying to walk at least 30 minutes daily, which is just a nice break from everything.

    I’m down 120 pounds. I want to drop more, but I’ve been pretty stationary for the past 3 months or so. I’m already a new man, and my doctor says I’m fine where I am. I’d like to drop another 10 just to be solidly below 200 for the first time in decades.

    I went to a personal trainer for some ideas on exercises, and I need to fit those workouts into my schedule. I haven’t done that yet, but I need to.




  • I’m thankful that my kids fly well, and always have. We flew with them at ~15 months with no issues.

    I’ve always heard the complaints about screaming infants and whatnot…but I’ve never seen it. Granted, I don’t fly too often (and less so more recently), but I’ve never had the “classic” kid crying through the entire flight. It just doesn’t happen as often as people think. I’m sure when it does happen that it’s pretty f’n annoying, though.
