problem whack-a-mole is always fun. here's one:

if i start a virtualbox vm immediately when the vbox service is ready, future vms will fail to connect to pulseaudio with a timeout error

i have no idea how to solve this one. auto-start is vital and sound is nice (and is only broken for vbox?)

sometimes the most effective anti-bot measures are the simplest. it's really funny how effective this is considering, you know, what it is (stops like 70%, 0% false positive rate)

it's just a hidden form field saying "don't put anything here or else".

feels weird to be going through old files. piles of chat logs from nearly 20 years ago, to 15 years ago. places that are long gone, people that are long gone.

nostalgic for better times.

transferring 80 GB of data is enough to get me to plug in the ethernet cable instead of just using wifi. 3 hours versus 13 minutes

this is the play in which sheldon rankins conjured a scorigami out of absolutely nothing. 30-29 had happened plenty of times and so had 37-29. scorigami only happened because the refs didn't make them stick around for the extra point

I now have a scanner again, so here, have an actual scan of the front cover of the Kiki Kaikai arcade manual rather than the photo I used in the blog post (nicole.express/2025/pocky-b...)

continuing the theme of inscrutable decision-making, someone at retroachievements has been approving first-time-posts in long-closed threads

nothing quite as fun as opening a thread to find new posts that had never been there before, sitting there as if they always had

organizing some of my old disk images; here's my SB1800 laptop up and running again, with @legacyupdate.net going on in the background

thanks to UMSKT, i *finally* got the activation issues sorted out, and now it's fully usable.
