For a few days, I wasn't able to see any images from treehouse.systems Mastodon server on my PC, neither from the browser, nor via Tuba. They worked in Tusky, though.
Of course, it was DNS. At first, I thought that something is mistakenly blocking the cache subdomain. But it turned out to be a DNSSEC bug in systemd.

So far in various testing of my PC/OS setup, it seems that perhaps the oddness of my physical setup is wreaking some mild havoc. You see, living in an RV has made for some interesting hurdles.
1)Tower is in the bedroom as that's the only space I had for it.
2) I have many dongles and a hub, trying to ensure wireless access to the tower, as I am NOT in the bedroom as I type this.
3)Driving 3 screens,two 1080p in the bdr, one 1440p out here. This means long cables. 1/?

Pokémon LeafGreen and In Memoriam
I don't have that much money left in Pokémon LeafGreen, but I do now have 98 pokémon. Still haven't beaten the Elite Four, but I've not actually tried - I've been travelling around trying to level up my Raichu, and wondering where I can get another moonstone from to evolve Clefairy. A game that I've got back into is In Memoriam, on the PC.

On the left (above a radiator), a single-hung window open about 5 inches. Along with various "artwork" on the walls (lol, kids), next to the window there's a blue chair and then a metal stool and the AQI monitor on the stool; probably about 4 feet away from the window?

The story of Senua, among other things, is an impressive graphical showcase for other games to come, so I am not overly upset about having to walk around the beautiful landscape, enjoy the impeccable sound design, decipher the story and the strong overall message.

Maybe it would have been an even better game if the combat scenario…

What I imagined would happen: I enable #DistCC on my weak laptop, it will pour compilation jobs on my Ryzen PC like crazy, keeping all 12 threads on boost 100% busy and finish webkit-gtk in no time.
What actually happened: the 4 laptop cores are 100% busy preprocessing and can't keep up delivering jobs to the Ryzen, and it is eating through them so fast it's barely busy.
Well, at least preprocessing doesn't take as much memory as the compiler, so things are actually progressing rather than getting stuck on swapping.

I'm only ever starved for CPU when Thunderbird is busy.
A newer APU has about twice the single-threaded speed for the same TDP of 65 W (downclockable to 45 W), for an upfront cost about 50 % higher than in 2015. It makes sense if I can save an average of 10 W for 10 years. I'd confirm with plug-in power meter over a few days.

Black PC case with the Mobo and cooler tower installed. Cooler tower clears the side panel of the PC case by about 4mm, btw. The GPU hasn't been installed yet. There is also a big fan hole in the middle of the case front cause I don't have an extra fan atm. I'll get to it.
The back of the PC case after all the connections have been run and tidied up. Everything is black. There's a pair of SSD carriages in the middle. The back of the case has a popout built into it so it can clear the drives, if they are installed. I haven't bothered, yet. PSU is at the bottom with all the cables tucked in front of it to the left.

Happy 23rd anniversary to Weezer's green album, released today (May 15) in 2001. Man, did I listen to this album a lot, and I still can. Might be my favorite Weezer record but I hate the last song - luckily it's last and I can just turn it off when it comes on. 😂
I remember following along online as they were making it, they were posting updates. Some great unreleased/b-side stuff from this era, too.

The cover of Weezer's green album. The band is standing centrally on an all lime green background. Band name in white font above them. In order: Mikey (RIP), Rivers, Brian, Pat.

For a good amount of years i played NFS:HP 2010, first on my old xbox, later multiple times on my pc, all of these times for free of course:)
Now my brother wanted to try the remaster (with online and such), so i bought him and myself a pair. It feels wrong to buy an nfs game but it's hot pursuit and for 3 dollars.
I think ill refund it after probing but not 100% sure

There, dual booting #Fedora #KDE as the default OS on the PC I am doing all my writing and translations, so stop pestering me for being a square because I use Windows!
Lost the left audio channel for a minute there after first boot. Turning it off and on again and getting the latest…

Been a busy couple days. Got the stuff to set up this PC out in the living area. Put in a new vent where the fresh water tank inlet was. Need to get some 5" duct so I can pipe the exhaust fan to the vent. Little odd having only one screen now. Got the second (eventual server) PC set up in the bedroom. It was late, so I just slapped Garuda on it so I could access my Ext HDD quickly for nighttime playlist. Will figure out what OS to use soon. Haven't tripped a breaker yet, woo.

Fallout 76 time!!! I'll be online in about 20-30 minutes after I update my mods.
I have tons of stuff on sale if anyone wants to drop by! I'm on PC and my username is BeAware.live
I'll also probably be dropping 3 nukes throughout the night so if you're in my game, plenty of goodies to get!
Hope to see some of you online soon! And if you're new and need anything or just want some tips. Let me know, I have a bunch of stuff and don't mind helping out!

Those OTP/2FA tokens... are they really random or are they made so you can remember them more easily while switching from your phone to your PC?
I often get the impression that it's not 6 different digits. I just had one that was something like 555 606 and it messes with my head 😵‍💫

I read the other day that Jim Morrison was a big fan of the Beach Boys album Wild Honey, and despite me not being a Doors fan, I gotta agree with him.
The Beach Boys were the first band I was really into as a kid- the Beatles right around the same time, but afterwards. When I was really young, my parents would play both bands pretty often.
Everyone of course knows the Beach Boys' big beach related hits, but Wild Honey is an overlooked masterpiece from 1967. It doesn't hav…

The cover to the 1967 masterpiece 'Wild Honey' by the Beach Boys. It's flowers and bees that look like stained glass almost, really cool art. Wild Honey is at the top in white almost block/bubble letters, 'The Beach Boys' underneath that in red-orange.

It's funny because prior to this, I briefly installed an old Nvidia card on an old PC and logged into my old GeForce Experience profile, at which point they immediately sent me the said welcoming email. I thought it was a "welcome back" thing, but never gave it a try and completely forgot about it.
Personally, I think GeForce NOW is okay (play tested the entire Shadow Warrior 3 on it a year or two back), but not worth the price anyway.
Questions, Nvidia? Contact me …

A screenshot of the follow up email by Nvidia to me a few days after the fact:

"As part of regular maintenance, you mistakenly received an email welcoming you to your GeForce NOW membership.

There are no changes to your GeForce NOW membership.

Questions? Contact NVIDIA customer care for additional information.

We apologize for any confusion. Thank you for streaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW."

I believe I have found one of the more convoluted ways to "work around" a Linux sound arch issue, assuming it works. Trying to play Helldivers 2 with a headset and controller. Well they both use dongles. All my input devices do, actually, PC is in another "room" in this RV. Turns out the headset and controller are on the same freq, or real close, as they interfere with each other. To compound things, Bluetooth sound is harder on Linux than I realized. 1/?
