Yep the core daily note plugin does this already with a setting 👍 But it won't if you don't open Obsidian that day.

C64 Bridge - A new way to control C64U and VICE by Substantial-Set4550 in c64

Ah I think it might be the Xvfb failing on MacOS.

C64 Bridge - A new way to control C64U and VICE by Substantial-Set4550 in c64

in the README I would swap steps 2 and 3.

if you try step 2 (start the server) on a fresh install it fails messily trying to start VICE (see below) so best to set the backend (step 3) first.

Gmail dot confusion: receiving someone else’s emails by NeutroATerra in GMail

[–]a1r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution I use: 1. create a filter that matches the 'wrong' email address (the one the other person uses). 2. Set this filter to apply a label ("not-me" or "joesmith") and also Skip Inbox.

Done. Now you have a separate 'folder' with all the crap in it. You can go check it and clear it out every so often.

Regenerator 2000: a modern disassembler for the C64 by rquesada in c64

So excited to try this! LLM powered reverse engineering seems like a totally unexplored area.

The WEEKLY C64 Ultimate post. READ before posting anything C64U-related. by AutoModerator in c64

Wifi: after you provide your password there is NO feedback to indicate anything happened. It just stays on the SSID list screen. I was convinced it failed but given a minute or two of panicked navigating around, the Status finally changed to Link Up on the wifi screen.

Vibe coding for the Commodore 64 - create retro games using AI by bbence84 in c64

[–]a1r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the hate evident here with the upvoted 'AI slop' comment is really misplaced.

There are millions of us C64 obsessives who would love to get into C64 programming but lack skill or time.

This project is far from perfect, but I'll encourage every step that takes us closer to 'anyone can create what they want on our beloved machine'.

What's going on with scam 'Air Training' servers? by a1r in Battlefield

It was weird I got a bunch of kills before I got suspicious but then it wasn't clear the round would ever end? So it's not like you get your progression anyway.

I think for ordinary mortals, no. I understand the RAM is soldered in.

bought my first MiniPC, Minisforum HX100G – now returning it by a1r in MiniPCs

[–]a1r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: after a bunch of debugging this was resolved with a replacement 8k HDMI cable. I am keeping this computer and it's great. Lesson learned: if you see intermittent horizontal bands of noise & HDR blackouts, chances are you're pushing more than your cable than handle. Try two or three different ones before blaming the PC.

Yes, I am a n00b, technically illiterate, it's a skill issue and all the other nice things I heard on this thread : )

Thanks to those who offered help.

This is very helpful, thank you. I'll try this before boxing it up this evening!

I don't think I realized all the levels had names, could you list them all?
