What did you do today?

[VegetableStu]

Is #16 guaranteed tho

nope ._. it'll be lost immediately somewhere else

OS Moving Day log:
"am I ready to use this PC now...?"
"I wonder which utilities am I still missing"
*googles stuff*
*immediately procrastinates on chatsites and youtube for two hours*
"... yup. I'm ready to use this PC."

EDIT: oh right VLC

Today I upgraded the VMware ESXi 5.5 on my Intel NUC to ESXi 6.7, via an upgrade to 6.0 first as there is no supported way of upgrading straight. The upgrade failed from 6.0 to 6.7 as it did not detect any free space on the OS USB drive after updating to 6.0, even though no issue was found in the partition data. After some back and fro' with @j0rd who knows a lot about *nix, I decided to chose a different method of installation, via the CLI.

After punching in the command in PuTTY from this guide, I was greeted with... nothing. After about 10 minutes of cursor blinken, it choose to fill my screen with text, with the small line at the top saying everything went just fine:

And then I foam-washed my car, because it was very grimey. Foam-wash is very fun to do, probably because it's a much more visible what you're doing than cleaning it with the traditional method.

I need one of those foam cannons in my life.

 

[VegetableStu]

could I foam wash... myself?

Installed a console mode only Archlinux on my ultrabook. This is aimed at learning more Linux things (services, tricky command lines) and forcing myself to use Vim instead of Sublime-text.

Even though I have had this card for a few days, I spent a lot of time trying to get RAW processing to work in GIMP on Ubuntu 18.04:

Oh and the card doesn't work on Ubuntu

I just sliced through my thumb with a razor blade performing tech surgery. This is not the first time I've done this.

@GuilleAcoustic They use a marvell chipset in some of their cards & their driver is GPL but they dont have rights to distribute the firmware for the marvel chipset they use so the driver is only good for some of there hardware. Your expected to supply the marvell stuff yourself but marvell no longer put out the files for public consumption. In the end i was able to point @Phuncz at a git repo where someone else looks to have sourced the required files and quietly put it up for whoever needs it. You have to do the build yourself though, sadly there isnt anything in the repos because of the marvell issue probably.

That's nasty ! Pretty much like the old Atom sporting PowerVR iGPU .... basically no driver.

Essentially, yeah. There is a mainline driver for the actual Marvell cards that used the same chipset but the Tehuti card is different enough that its not compatible IIRC.

Shoved arch onto a nintendo switch for the fun of it. Managed to get a UI running but honestly I think i'll stay away from messing with it much until cfw is launched. Don't have time to fix driver issues, but it was cool seeing it run.

Bought a new headset and the mic didn't work. I have incredibly bad luck with consumer electronics. Three pairs of Astro headsets have died on me, one way or another. WHY DON'T THINGS JUST WORK, MAN?

 

[VegetableStu]

I know it takes a lot of work to make videos of assembling something, but wow doing it firsthand really drives that home ._.

day one: disassembled the system. made a joke. documented physical stats of the C11U. not quite done with the last one though. will finish before i sleep ,_,

Mind you, the new Windows 10 update did make my mic also seem to not work, but it was the privacy setting not allowing apps to use the microphone.

I got married. And I secretly tested two coolers without her knowing #SFFlife
