One of us is doing an annual checkup of accounts to migrate to personal Vivaldi Mail account. Today they discovered they can move e-mail between accounts right within Vivaldi Mail's user interface in Vivaldi itself!

With help of @deathknight.bsky.social and @hw12.dev the problem of running Luxor, Luxor: Amun Rising and Luxor 2 from Steam is now gone after 13 years!
Hayden did the most difficult part—a new wrapper that is compatible with Windows 8 and onwards; Steam DRM remains intact!

We chose to continue servicing our forums board. The new lifecycle policy—effective December 7th, 2025—determines activity windows and our responsibility for upkeeping them.

We were directly asked if it is still reasonable to maintain our own forums board, EI Forums, due to low guest-to-users conversion and severe search engine indexing issues. The question was followed by suggestion to archive it and freeze in "read only" state.
We will tell you the answer in a week.

Not long ago, we took a deep dive into some bugs in the 86Box v5.0 emulator and explored a few ways to fix them. But we saved the best for last: one click is all it takes to break everything! No worries, though — @86box.net has already fixed it :)

It has been one month since #SteelHunters permanent shutdown. While most people consider it was a live service, we think it wasn't. Service can be considered "live" only after it passes the EAP phase and not any second earlier.
We are not advocating Wargaming for decisions done but sharing thoughts.

Quoting @vivaldi.com here: big tech? BIG NO!
I'm breaking the silence to draw attention to the inappropriate situation that YouTube has allowed to happen. Allowing AI to make drastic decisions like terminating a channel is a huge slap in the face to their users and speaks volumes about how they treat us.

On this Saturday, October 25th, we will be shutting down our #BlacklightRetribution server that was part of the #BLRevive project for over a year. We ran into severe technical issues.
We would like to thank them for inviting us to the community of the game unusual to us, it was certainly a blast!

It's been 8 years since we stepped onto the path to eternity or eternal oblivion. The path we build and everyone around us building. This #anniversary is still quiet, like on regular weekday evening or weekend. We thank everyone who's with us and who joined recently. And remember, K2MG is a process!

Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare
CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from a DDOS yesterday.
Max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood"
@archive.org does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack = wouldbe bad saturday.
Thank you #CloudFlare

Today #LestaGames was recognized as an 'extremist organization' in #Russia. There is a catch: it does not affect neither their clients, nor players.
We are monitoring the situation to learn how it will affect Wargaming Group Limited as several news media mention Victor Kislyi as Lesta co-founder.

On May 27th there will be a trial for #LestaGames on their shady business done with intellectual property of #WorldOfTanks (locally rebranded as Mir Tankov). While we silently monitor the situation in both communities, we try evaluate how would this impact players who also play #Wargaming games.
