Nonce is used extensively in the context of cryptography to mean "used exactly one time". Usually this refers to a random number that a server shares with a client to establish secure communications.

Red Sonja (1985)

I like that it's a definitely-not-Conan movie with a bit more humor. Maybe people don't like the kid actor, but I thought that Prince Tarn and Falcon added a lot without being overbearing. It could rate even higher for me if they'd gotten Basil Poledouris to do the soundtrack.

Cool World (1992)

Things really start to fall apart in the third act once Holli transports to the real world and from a technical side, Who Framed Roger Rabbit beats it by miles. However, the idea of Cool World, a mix of childish and sleazy animated characters all living in the same universe, is compelling. Bakshi's animation style really brings it alive.

"Shake" is scraps of cannabis plants left behind after processing it for consumption (trimming). It's less pleasant to smoke and contains less THC than the main bud, so it gets sold off in bulk or reprocessed into concentrates.

To be pedantic, the MW in OpenMW doesn't stand for anything. It's supposed to make players think of "Open MorroWind", but only Bethesda has the right to use the name Morrowind.

Skywind: Playing the plot of Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. Game mechanics, spells, skills, models, textures, and bugs are all going to be similar to what you have in Skyrim, give or take some modding.

OpenMW: Playing Morrowind in an open source, crossplatform game engine. You are playing the exact same game as TES III (gameplay mechanics, spells, models, textures, etc are 1:1 identical in a vanilla install) but the code behind it is less buggy, more moddable, and it provides many modern quality-of-life improvements that the original engine couldn't do.

Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install?

Yes. Just double-check every part of the install process so you don't write to the wrong device.

Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?

Probably yes (depends on the options you pick during the install process). The external drive will get its own boot partition with appropriate EFI files. Then to boot from it, you would select the external drive in your UEFI.

I use rEFInd as my EFI bootloader: It lets me chain load other boot options (external drives) without touching my motherboard UEFI settings. I leave it installed to my main boot partition, but it scans for other bootable partitions at startup. Then it auto-populates a selector list of my main install, or whatever other external devices are plugged in. It can chain load GRUB, other EFI bootloaders, Windows, etc from these devices, so you don't have to worry about compatibility with whatever bootloader the OS expects to use.

Me!!!!

But I'm actually safe: Last month I fried half of my BTRFS array, and decided that instead of recovering the system, I'd rather copy over the relevant data and reinstall Arch from scratch. In doing so, I've shed the majority of AUR packages that my old system had. Of the handful of AUR packages on my new system, none were attacked.

You said you don't want the page to load. Do you even care if the browser opens?

What about overriding the default browser application that the terminal tries to use? Maybe there's some env variable to override the xdg browser default, and you could point it to a script that exits instantly.

It seems like the problem you ran into began when EJB left the table and began to act separately from the game.

Personally, I would never let players create a character who is a 1:1 match for a person in the real world. Now you have that player "my guy'ing" about real world events instead of letting the story and other characters impact what they would do. At that point, why don't we just read that real person's biography or journal or whatever and skip the game entirely?

Another complication: would this 1:1 IRL person even be comfortable with being in the game at all? If my friends told me they were playing a game and I was a character, I'd ask them to stop. My question, as someone who is not at all familiar with headmates: Why would T/EJB want to be in the game at all, with someone else controlling them? And if T/EJB plays herself, then she's already getting ejected from my game for misogyny.

I've never had to deal with a case where the 1:1 real world person came to exist because of the game, but I probably would ask the player to create a new character at that point. I understand the argument that off-table events can be considered fan fiction, but when there's a feedback cycle between play and real-life, I don't think such events can be easily separated.

I like that the response from Amazon was very obviously AI-written

Anyone have recommendations for more films like Heavy Metal, or the stuff Ralph Bakshi made? There's a kind of sleaze to those low-budget animated movies that I find fun, but the art is also really compelling.

It doesn't have to be 70s/80s

I'm playing for the first time in my life now.

I've recently had my first kid, and as such, I need a game that I can quickly pick up and put down. Ideally, the game is also playable in long form as well.

Enter openmw for android. The only on screen controls that have ever been usable. Convenient quick save. Minimal load times.

I can hop on, play a little, and get off in a hurry if I need to. I thought I'd be stuck playing old Pokemon ROMs with save states until she hit an age of independence.

 

I generally let my server do its thing, but I run into an issue consistently when I install system updates and then reboot: Some docker containers come online, while others need to be started manually. All containers were running before the system shut down.

  • My containers are managed with docker compose.
  • Their compose files have restart: always
  • It's not always the same containers that fail to come online
  • Some of them depend on an NFS mount point being ready on the host, but not all

Host is running Ubuntu Noble

Most of these containers were migrated from my previous server, and this issue never manifested.

I wonder if anyone has ideas for what to look for?

SOLVED

The issue was that docker was starting before my NFS mount point was ready, and the containers which depended on it were crashing.

Symptoms: journalctl -b0 -u docker showed the following log lines (-b0 means to limit logs to the most recent boot):

level=error msg="failed to start container" container=fe98f37d1bc3debb204a52eddd0c9448e8f0562aea533c5dc80d7abbbb969ea3 error="error while creating mount source path '/mnt/nas/REDACTED': mkdir /mnt/nas/REDACTED: operation not permitted"
...
level=warning msg="ShouldRestart failed, container will not be restarted" container=fe98f37d1bc3debb204a52eddd0c9448e8f0562aea533c5dc80d7abbbb969ea3 daemonShuttingDown=true error="restart canceled" execDuration=5m8.349967675s exitStatus="{0 2024-10-29 00:07:32.878574627 +0000 UTC}" hasBeenManuallyStopped=false restartCount=0

I had previously set my mount directory to be un-writable if the NFS were not ready, so this lined up with my expectations.

I couldn't remember how systemd names mount points, but the following command helped me find it: systemctl list-units -t mount | grep /mnt/nas

It gave me mnt-nas.mount as the name of the mount unit, so then I just added it to the After= and Requires= lines in my /etc/systemd/system/docker.service file:

[Unit]
Description=Docker Application Container Engine
Documentation=https://docs.docker.com
After=network-online.target docker.socket firewalld.service containerd.service time-set.target mnt-nas.mount
Wants=network-online.target containerd.service
Requires=docker.socket mnt-nas.mount
...
 

Can't we just toss some C4 at it?

"Realtime" mods? (self.openmw)
 

Anyone know of any realtime menu mods for OpenMW? Specifically, I'd like to have dialog take place in real time. It always feels strange that I can have a whole conversation with someone, but never recuperate my fatigue level.

Not even sure if my posts will be federated with this community.

Once I get some furniture back from the repair shop (fuck you, shipping company), I'll have something to share.

 

I recently got a nice deal on a stereo microscope, and leapt at the chance. I've had a few projects in mind that would entail SMD soldering, and now all I need is a proper soldering station.

My current iron is pretty basic, but gets the job done for splicing wires and DIP work. Now I want something with temp control and a good supply of tips.

It seems like hobbyists are all talking about affordable Chinese T12 stations from brands like KSGER and Quecoo. There are just so many different models, it's hard to understand the features and differences. It also seems like there's a lot of "Reddit folk knowledge" where people just keep repeating what others have said. Eg: People say that some KSGER stations have no case grounding, but nobody says which models do or don't have the issue. All of them? Then people talk about the microcontrollers STM vs STC, but nobody says why it matters.

 

In our house, we generally go for variety in our coffee beans. That means when we are finishing one bag, we're going to open a different bag with totally different beans inside.

What do you do if there aren't enough old beans to make a full serving of coffee?

It may be heresey, but I mix the final old beans with a few beans from the new bag and call it my "bonus blend".
