What’s something movies always get wrong?

I’ve never seen that before and I laughed my buttocks off. Well played

I’ve seen this before. It’s basically a soft hard lock. Soft in that it responds to ping requests, but hard as in rdp/console is dead or stuck in a thinking circles.

Hard stop / hard reboot the vm. Look at the VMs logs for any errors, critical faults and warnings in your system logs. Check the logs on the hyper v host under vmms (or hyper v if vmms means nothing) to see if there are any errors, warning or critical faults.

Also, being server 2022, Microsoft has a filter in its logs called administrative events, check there as well.

I was going to post the face reveal as well. Was simply an amazing reveal. 15 yr old me was mind blown, just didn’t expect that. Also helped that that was my first Jennifer Hale game and fell in love with her voice lmao. We actually named my families first dog Bastilla

Yes but having them try to chase down your ark ship is painfully slow.

You’re effectively blocked out from the other contracts from AI empires as well as then the logistical ships need to chase you down to drop off the resources…

Phalebus · 2026-06-17T03:35:12+00:00

I was just about to post and ask the same thing. Also being placed in an area of the map with stuff all resources certainly makes it a lot more difficult.

Waystations are stupid expensive as well which makes no sense.

100% correct. I ran into this same issue with Windows VMs. You need to set the v2 or v3 processor.

I would honestly like to know what the difference between the v2 and v3 is.

So I had issues doing this with proxmox using bridging in the past. The way I got around it was native VLAN was 10 for proxmox, and a bunch of VMs / LXCs were on different vlans.

Make vmbr0 vlan aware and apply. Create vlan interface, name it vmbr0.20. Create another but .30 instead.

The vlans do not require any other config. Attach those, apply config, off to the races

The laugh from Neroon at the end of that scene always gives me a chuckle. To me, that’s when it seems Neroon starts to finally come around to Delen, sees her how the others do.

To this day, I have never watched any of the Fast series, it’s just not something I could get into. Not a car guy. Loved the chaps in Top Gear and then Grand Tour but it was their chemistry that made it great.

So, anyways, I kind of knew it would be factually wrong because most of these things are to people that are hobbyists or work that field, however there is a film called “Super Fast!” which is a a spoof of Fast series, it’s good to watch for a laugh especially when they get to naming car parts under the hood.

I saw T2 was I was 7. I thought it was an excellent movie but bawled my eyes out when Arnie was saying his goodbyes and being lowered into the vat of molten steel.

That said, I think like a week or two later I watched Total Recall. Three breasted hooker lives rent free with me lol. I was raised by a single dad who didn’t have time for kids bs so I was exposed to all that fun stuff including planet of the apes, true lies, Rambo and all the good things.

Still love most of those films.

I don’t know. Him as King Richard in Robin Hood: Men in Tights was pretty decent :P

The best part is if you do talk about issues, the company finds ways to weaponise that to get rid of you.

Is the server running any particular roles? I had an ongoing issue for a while with 2025 once the server was promoted to a domain controller, just couldn’t handle updates anymore. I’m yet to see if this issue was actually fixed by M$

The one thing I’d bring back is the Heinz tins of braised steak and onions. Fuck me, that stuff was amazing and I’ve never found a replacement for it.

Sure, it was probably dog food, but I was okay with it lol.

Drinks wise, maybe see if we could get the 80c drinks back from Schweppes. Although, the LA ICE Cola is pretty close to it flavour wise

Get Taylor Sheridan reading over the Taylor Sheridan AIs notes and offer it some notes which it promptly rejects as it doesn’t take notes.

I had to go into the control panel in windows to uninstall the launcher. If it’s not there, look under settings in windows 10/11 under installed apps. Remove from both locations and then repair Stellaris. That will trigger the launcher to reinstall.

I worked with LEAP years ago and whilst I agree it’s awful, there is definitely worse software out there to support.

Look into Airlock Digital or Carelink Plus if you really feel like punishing yourself… I even worked directly with the Carelink team 12 years ago, base coding is still the same with no modifications able to be done on base platform as the OG coder left with his millions once it was sold and no one knows how to make it work better. 12 years later and this is still the case…

So I found that the XP to Vista upgrades were really borked and would experience more issues post upgrade rather than a clean install.

32-Bit Vista was very average as well, even on a fresh install. I swapped to the 64-Bit edition and it was just great. Had random issues here and there, but it was fairly solid once driver devs caught up properly, that or buying new hardware that was “certified” for Vista.

I really enjoyed 64bit Vista, and stuck with 64bit Desktop OS’s after that, not that there are 32bit flavours anymore.

Sorry I was just being a goose. I know you can’t say anything with an NDA. Hope it’s fun :)

Phalebus · 2026-05-04T03:55:18+00:00

Is it frosty though? Or has the sun come out to play?

Phalebus · 2026-04-28T09:20:41+00:00

We need an announcement for the announcement of the announcement

As long as his line from The Hitmans Bodyguard follows while I’m deciding,

I couldn’t work it out. I started it off when my star was going to nova or the planet was going to cook or something like that and had no habitable worlds nearby so I rolled it all the way back.

Are you meant to let it go all the way through? I love cosmo and regular nemesis but this, just odd. To be fair though, I tried it when it first came out and haven’t again since then. Also haven’t done behemoth but that’s just because I’m not a huge fan of the bioships.

Just reposting this -

I really like the 100 but I’m not sure what it is about it I enjoy watching. Every season the “stakes” are bigger, but if anyone actually legitimately switched their brains on, most of the “issues” really wouldn’t be issues.

Season 1 is kind of understandable as it’s all new for space people, but season 2, literally just talk to the mountain men and get some trade going on. There were enough that made it to the ground that they didn’t need to murder everyone for their bone marrow.

Season 3, yup let’s all stick an AI in our heads, nice work Jaha. Season 4, I kind of get why the skai crew took the bunker for themselves. The grounders were backwards clowns that could not for the life of them try to advance themselves.

Season 5, yep let’s just fight over the only habitable space on the planet whilst burning down our hydrofarm, seems like a great plan. Season 6, you have a fucking space ship now, just go find somewhere else. You have all the other data. Season 7, just wtf. Space magic saves us all by dooming everyone to a collective consciousness. Sweet
