Whoops! So Archazia’s Island for Lorcana launched on March 7 for small shops. The big guys will get it on the 14th or 21st. The set contains a lot of goodies. It’s got a board wipe for your ink well as well as a weaker version of Half Shark in the Form of Ratigan along with a host of other useful cards. 🙂

On February 28, 2025 at 1:15 am DeVaultSetter said It’s the culture of corps too, many of the denizens in existence within their hallowed walls have no choice but declare there is no such thing as life outside, before, or after the corp, therefore the corp is seen as the provider and maintainer of all the means of existence and sustenance for the…

In case the countless millions reading are wondering, here’s a teaser:

In other words, do yourselves a favour!
They got back on the DNSCache issue, apparently it’s now soldered into the circuits. 🙁
Reversing into this article may get the comprehension somewhat double parked, still very readable though. 🙂

Geany’s all ready to go. I’ll make more tweaks to the settings as I need to. All I really need is a text-editor with syntax highlighting 🙂

Fun fact, I used Notepad for Java initially as I hated the IDE we were made to use and I wasn’t allowed to install Notepad++ on the school computers. 😛

Found out this morning as I shutting down Linux that…[Read more]

The guis and dialogs are for the old Windows themes as well, all have to be updated. Got the IDE up yet?

Over the course of the series, you can see how technology advances in their Stone Age society. For instance, cars are initially powered by running and are powered by critters in a hamster wheel by season 4. There are other bits too, such as the advancement of arms.

I believe it was due to Lucas never being quite happy with the result and wanted…[Read more]

Here’s the updated run on rfuzzo’s repository: https://stearnvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cppcheck-cpplint.zip

cpplint is much better while cppcheck hasn’t changed at all. However, the cpplint changes look due to it actually respecting the braces filter this go around. The first time I ran it, it ignored me when I told it to ignore the…[Read more]

After several bad starts, I think I’m getting the hang of OpenTTD again. Right now, I’ve got a basic network of four trains and two coal mines all connected to a power plant. Nothing fancy but it works. I’ve also got a few buses and a mail route between two towns.

Not sure how I want to expand it but I’ll do some more reading of the help files.…[Read more]

Yep, flushdns is pretty useful. Used to use it often back in the DSL days when the network information changed but the cache didn’t update for whatever and resetting the network connection didn’t do the trick. Pretty sure it was a Windows bug in XP at the time. Looks like they suggest trying the Pi Hole in the GitHub issue, which has come up…[Read more]

Ah, okay. Sounds good 🙂

Don’t forget about WinDbg! Pretty helpful to track down driver issues. And it’s also helpful to turn off the automatic restart on STOP errors so that you can better see what’s going on. Of course, Windows has become much more resilient in recent years so, fortunately, BSoDs don’t happen as much as they used to 🙂

Like the Simpsons, the voices of the leads, particularly Fred, massage the senses with the subtlety and finesse of a cheese grater. Enhanced back in the day by bad reception and the crackly static of the old cheap black and white TVs. 😛
Wonder if it was a stipulation of Lucas himself that the unedited stuff should never be released?
The Swimming…[Read more]

I suffer from a weird variation of the Kruger-Dunning Effect in that I think I am better than whatever individual I ever once aspired to be. Aspiration brings on the mythos of evolution, the true test is confidence, really, one has to be confident whatever in whatever they think of themselves, because confidence is a clear and foggy prism through…[Read more]

Unlike The Simpsons, The Flintstones doesn’t contain a whole lot of satire so I’m not sure that is entirely accurate. It was a carbon copy of The Honeymooners at first, however. Fred definitely starts to mellow once he decides he wants a child in the third season but his abusiveness still rears its head from time to time. Interestingly, the…[Read more]

In honor of this product, here’s some AC/DC:

And in related products, here’s a unique design:…[Read more]

Forgot to mention that they also confirmed that their changes were to mostly satisfy changes to the Windows API over the last twenty years.

Using it – well – for an up and coming Odd Blog, more on that later. 🙂
Like the idea of the Tuneup_plus name for this project despite it being more about information gathering, login is also required to obtain a copy of Gather_additional_dump_files.

Good to know, oops – completely forgot about the 1.4 cable, so will pop in there next week. 🙂
All of a sudden, the svchost is running “NETWORK SERVICE” at full bore after hibernate resume. Only supposed to happen on cold boot, Delivery Optimization is off, and Network Discovery is turned off for public networks if that is a thing. Windows Resume…[Read more]

It’s wonderful! I’ve been playing it off and on on Linux and Windows for years 🙂

It also has a hidden sandbox mode that lets you remove most of the limitations. I forget the key combination, though.

It’s definitely taking time to relearn it and not go too fast at the beginning but I’m getting better. I don’t really care about the scoring, I…[Read more]

That looks really nice, and there is a version for Linux as well!
Installed Ghidra, what an amazing project, as decompilers has to have a bazillion things more than compilers for getting anything close to operational compiled code. Their help system is rather antiquated, and there is no urgency to update it. 😛

So I reinstalled OpenTTD the other day and it’s still just as relaxing as it was last time I gave it a whirl. Now, though, there are a lot more add-ons for better graphics in the online content menu. Haven’t tried those out yet.
