Is it any wonder we talk about the weather in Northern Ireland?

Yesterday: wearing a hat and worrying about sunburn while working in the garden.

Today: Stair rod downpours, blustery winds, and foundered just by nipping out the bin.

@shezza_t I went to the shop earlier, maybe a mile away, no more. It was chilly enough for a fleece when I left the house; at the shop it was t-shirt weather; then I got hailed on on the way back. At one point I could see the hail falling from the clouds on either side of the road but not -on- the road.

Let’s get this Discovery finale out of the way then.

OK that wasn’t bad at all.

Wondering if the MiniPC I got for NASv4 is broken or junk :/

I’m getting the same USB errors with this second external M2 enclosure as the first, but both work perfectly well on other machines.

Can’t get Windows installed on it either due to missing drivers.

The box can read flash drives all right though.

@glc I unplugged some USB things, reset the RAID on the enclosure, and it started working. I think the box's USB is a bit marginal? The enclosure has its own power supply so I dunno.

TueNAS is happy so far setting up a ZFS RAID1 and some shares. I'll try copying a load of data over later on.

Channel 4 website doing well today. Demands I disable my already disabled adblocker, and doesn't work at all in Safari (which has no adblocker installed at all). FFS.

The adverts work properly, of course.

@glc The laser is a thicc boi compared to the old inket so I'll need to do a bit of office reorg. But I've had enough of the inkjets' increasing enshitification.

Just watched the finale of Discovery..
It got to the end of the episode, and I checked.. .. Still 20 minutes left. Oh god, here comes the miserably dull crap.. For 20 whole entire minutes.

@Jayenkai Jebus. I guess they have to sign-off the series but, even so, half the episode is a bit much. Can't say I'll miss it much.

@Jayenkai STD lost me really not long after they went to the future. Far too much talking about how the current Space Problem makes them /feel/ rather than Starfleeting it, for my liking. I'm sure it goes down well with many, but SNW is more my speed.

@Jayenkai It was all a dream? :)

I'll watch it tomorrow anyway. For completeness.

@mjg59 At least you know the driver is licensed.

I'm on a train, looking out of the window at the fields going by, and I find myself thinking "man, that's some good parallax scrolling". :-D

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@Blerkotron Is it a train down to parallax city, where the back moves slow and the front moves quickly?

Unbidden thoughts. Apps I would miss if I moved from macOS to Linux:

  • Acorn (paint app)
  • Affinity Designer
  • Screenflow

@Middaparka If you need Xcode then I guess you’re stuck :)

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@Middaparka I use Sublime Text, which has a native Linux version. GIMP would probably replace Acorn, DaVinci is a sledgehammer to replace Screenflow for video editing but it would work, and I assume there are screen capture tools. Inkscape may one day rival Designer but not yet.

I think most of my retro gamedev toolchain will work as-is.

I’m mostly wondering what I will do when it’s time to replace my Intel i9 MBP.

I was asked what the first movie that ever scared me was.

It's impossible for me to say. Go far enough back and memories of movies blur into a single thing.

I can say it was black and white and had Peter Cushing in it.

@selzero Alien, which I watched late one stormy Halloween night when I was 10 and should have been asleep.

I currently have three Amiga emulators running on my mac, one of which is running in Windows inside VMWare. And a real A500/030 beside me running too.

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@davet Yeah. Normally FSUAE is fine. But I’m updating some WHDLoads and discovered I was patching out FSUAE emulation bugs and those patches were actually making the game worse on everything else! That’s why I’m testing on WinUAE and real hardware for this.
