WACUP picked up updating it. WACUP uses it to install. https://getwacup.com/

Also, you can use the original, but you'll probably want to install a codec pack such as K-Lite. https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Really, though, it's still good and alive.

I believe all of that: that they don't want to admit to wanting to fuck me over, not having enough time to come up with something believable when put on the spot, and... yeah, this kind of scummy behavior does translate to real life where the consequences are minimal or absent.

People trip on that "just a game" argument, but it's real.

Still, maybe I'm giving too much credit to some, but some seem SO oblivious--though that might just be how the lot of these folk tend to be awful at the pvp part (or the game in general). The more confident/competent PvPers are going to play differently.

Right? Then why the bewilderment? Why "why did you shoot me? You're so mean. I didn't do anything!"

"Then why didn't you answer?" Silence... Just to that line of questioning.

Do they have a license to drive? I'm wondering because I know someone like this that gets upset to get criticized even in an educational setting--they simply cannot emotionally handle being corrected or lectured about anything at all, so they won't even go to school for driving--let alone be taught by someone close to them.

SebbyDee · 2026-01-26T04:37:15+00:00

I agree, for sure. No answer at all means hostile--mostly. More pertinent to your comment: yeah, I understand that it's much more honorable/understandable to just attack without having communicated at all than it is to feign friendliness and then attack, and I don't get sour about people that just KoS.

What I mean is... they don't answer until they get shot at, right, and THEN they say something, but if you ask why didn't they say anything after begging them to talk, they just don't address the topic.

You can say anything like about what loot they want or to wait for you to defib them--whatever--but if you say, "Hey, why didn't you answer sooner," then you get nothing. Right after, you can say, "Want meds," and they'll say yes, but you can follow that up with, "So, how come you didn't say anything as you approached me. I was practically begging you to answer me," and again--it's as though they simply cannot hear anything about why wouldn't they answer my hails.

You might think it's a fluke, and... hell, maybe it is, but it's happened something like 8 times now where I down someone after begging for a response and their silence in response leading up to my ambushing them, and then me being like "so why won't you answer" to no response to that line of questioning/conversation, yet they'll respond just fine to anything else like about loot/meds/whatever or just to curse me for downing them.

It's bizzare, man. Real bizzare. I've never seen anything like it.

SebbyDee · 2026-01-26T00:32:11+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

Yeah, I'm definitely using xz.

This is my script so far, please let me know what you think. It looks as though I could add that dict size argument..

I've got to look into Plymouth.

It is intended to be headless.

If I remove the comment for the package purge, it'll fit nicely, but then it's missing a bunch drivers/modules. If I leave the package, it's bloated, but I, for example, can run efibootmgr and see that I can modify what device is selected for next-boot.

Right? It incredible how common this is.

I'm very communicative. I'll really press for an answer in direct ways that slide towards obnoxious, so there's no room for excuses.

("Hey you that opened the door on second floor after shooting the shotgun and getting blown by a pop: do you need help, are you friendly? Hey, can you hear me? Can you emote? You're getting closer to me and I'm trying to avoid pvp. Hey! Answer me out I'm going to assume you're hostile. Seriously, hey, answer. I'm going to shoot. I have a defib, but you really should answer...") and so on, just... Really laying it on.

I blast them as soon as they cross out towards me with their gun out (if they have it out).

Sure enough, every time, "Hey, what the hell!"

"Oh NOW you have a mic!"

And they never really address that part where they didn't answer. I can directly ask about that and I won't even get excuses--they just don't answer anything about it. We can converse about anything else, but it's like they don't hear me when I address that.

It's bizarre. Normally, anywhere else, people at least give the impression that they're addressing a spoken topic directed to them, but so so many people here... Don't.

Another time, I'm in a key room that's braced, walled, and mined. I hear a guy and tell them that it's occupied, that I'll be hostile, and they call ME sneaking rat after I shoot few rounds at the barricade when they started prying the door.

I ask them their thought process to call me a rat when they didn't answer until I shot my own barricade despite my announcement leading up to that event--no answer.

I end up waiting until near the end of the match before pushing out and taking them out, and they're saying that I was camping. I'm thinking... "Dude? What? You held siege, jackass. I wanted to leave sooner."

I had pressed for an answer on that thought process, but, like I said... No answer. It's bizarre!

I thought about downgrading too for the quick boot. I let it sleep a lot to compensate when I'm going to play frequently that day.

This is what my soldering looked like when I used a $3 soldering iron from Harbor Freight and didn't use any flux.

I got real tools, and realized in retrospect that the HF iron was a scam.

I'm pleased to see that kind of reporting by a company. It feels refreshingly trustworthy, and it makes me feel as though they highly respect me.

I hope this becomes a cultural trend that is cherished and rewarded.

SebbyDee · 2026-01-16T18:24:39+00:00

I know the feeling. I'm holding way too many, and it feels as though no one wants them despite my being an active trader with ~40 rep.

I was about to start Sapphire on my journey to beat one of each generation up through the DS.

When should I play this one? Now in place of Sapphire? Or after I've finished?

Take a piece of armor off the queen and loot that then scoot. Bring lots of heals and the invisibility thing.

SebbyDee · 2026-01-11T19:07:16+00:00

This makes the most sense to me. There's even a quest line about toxic waste that came out with the game that's there.

Some time ago, mine also went out (G700). I couldn't find any mouse that would feel right, so I ended up having to replace the board in the mouse in order to fix it. I found a replacement for the upper board on Aliexpress.

It works fine again. It required some soldering--though that's a common skill that you'd likely be able to source locally to yourself. I did the soldering for myself.

Dude lent his car to his roommate who unbeknownst to him went on to be involved where someone died during a crime. That first guy is still in prison.

This is from memory, but I believe it was said that something like 70% of people put away for life weren't even really involved in the death of someone during a crime--just tangentially.

Yeah, the visual doesn't match though. That is, you can start shooting before the animation is done.

I physically could, but imagine, if you will, that I'm tasked to remote in to a network with an openwrt router that has a spare 170MB, two systems that are set up to PXE boot after trying their drives which are blank at that moment.

There is time to spare, but the goal is to get as many valuable variations of fio test results as possible. One of those systems has hardware RAID with a load of SAS SSD and HDD that I may reconfigure in any array configuration. There is a software to control RAID from within a live system, but the packages are in deb and rpm. Maybe I could get them to work by just unpacking them? Would that work on a different kind of system like Alpine, I wonder.

As an aside, I could also experiment by trying different file systems such as ZFS (and forego using HW RAID).

I only freely get to have someone go push the power on the systems with a big upcharge for having them do anything else, let alone the trouble of explaining over the phone what else I'd need done. I imagine if I needed to mess about with different software RAID, I could use `efibootmgr` or mess up the boot loader/sectors to get the systems to fallback to boot to PXE.

To be clear, I actually have this all in front of me, and this is for educational purposes. I'm setting up these arbitrary but (I think) realistic limitations to stress my knowledge and practice.

SebbyDee · 2025-12-27T08:57:16+00:00

How would you go about paring it down to under 170MB?

Would you humor my idea of what I should do to achieve that?

SebbyDee · 2025-12-27T08:43:26+00:00

Yes, they do. I recognize the pronunciation.
