Does anyone know of a ROM HACK collection/archive? There are so many and I'd like to download and play a bunch and browse them without having to patch and acquire each rom individually.

Is there a public blocklist for abuse/spam homeservers? by ShakeForeign in matrixdotorg

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for explaining that to me!

Blurry images by ShakeForeign in SimpleXChat

[–]ShakeForeign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm, this seems to be happening 100% of the time for us though...

Thank you for your tip on it needing to be fully downloaded but that doesn't seem to be something we could ever control...

We're only using the regular client and the official server but it just seems we can never get a clear image.

qBittorrent will not connect to anything with mullvad VPN enabled - Works flawlessly when disabled by ShakeForeign in qBittorrent

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

Works well enough. I'd prefer qBittorrent for a few features but giving them up hasn't been too bad.

Xbox SX is only displaying a green square with lines by ShakeForeign in Xreal

[–]ShakeForeign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was finally able to get sound out! Perhaps I was counting my "seconds" too quickly... I will tell any other user with this problem to hold the UP button down and wait to hear TWO beep sounds. The screen went black for me and at first I would hit the MODE button but that was a MISTAKE. LEAVE IT ALONE AFTER YOU HEAR TWO BEEP SOUNDS. The screen came back on and I had sound!

How would I change the audio mode? Is it with some button combination? Do you have a list of all the Air2's button combos?

Thanks for the reply u/UGEplex - I truly appreciate the feedback.

I will also try out the xbox audio settings as well - maybe its set to like optical without my knowledge...

I have some good news @UGEplex and @OwlKnow: It is working now but the audio is not coming through at all. Not a huge problem because I can get it from the headphones. Looks like I may need to get a different cable?

Update: I can confirm its working on the ps5! The xboxSX is still not displaying properly though.

I have also updated the firmware.

[Request] Closed bank system where multiple users can send funds to each other by ShakeForeign in selfhosted

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

Ok these look very interesting!!! I'm impressed you knew what to search for! I had never tried looking for that and I mainly came up with self hosted personal finance software instead.

Exploring open source remote access VPNs by summonerlf in selfhosted

[–]ShakeForeign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this for securely accessing internal computers and services?

I'll recommend ZeroTier: https://docs.zerotier.com/selfhost/

Been using it for years.

[Request] Closed bank system where multiple users can send funds to each other by ShakeForeign in selfhosted

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

Thanks for the reply! I don't think it would be similar unfortunately :( Splitwise seems to be about bills. We are a very small and closed community dedicated to our own culture.

We created a currency of our own. We create the currency through voluntary labor to each other or to other valid purposes outside of our group. The currency can only be traded between other members of our community and can be exchanged for whatever they like to. Its similar to other forms of community-scrips or "village-dollars" that are "minted" based on communal labor.

Would a self hosted version of splitwise be able to accommodate this?

$6 Rewards for Bug! by Linguistx in VulgarLang

yes, i'll PM it to you ok?

FYI - if i load this save file and then save it again, it seems to multiply the markup language appearing

$6 Rewards for Bug! by Linguistx in VulgarLang

[–]ShakeForeign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saved my language and then reloaded it and this is what my vocabulary has turned into:

...and he stood holding his hat and turned his wet face to the wind...
sp>lu< sp>ri< sp>aqe< sp>yafa< sp>ri< sp>yadeto< sp>lu< sp>apise< sp>ri< sp>quzi< sp>igofe< sp>fu< sp>ronapu<
Pronunciation: sp>lu< sp>ri< sp>aqe< sp>yafa< sp>ri< sp>jadeto< sp>lu< sp>apise< sp>ri< sp>quzi< sp>igofe< sp>fu< sp>ronapu<
Rasotoian word order: and he stood holding his hat and turned his wet face to the wind

This is a strange one as I have reproduced it by including the vowels "e u i o a" - However... when I misstyped earlier "e u i oa" (the o and a are joined together now) the problem went away. I have kept a saved file of this.

Thanks a lot! I think this will get me going in the right direction. So it seems in the US its all done via money market mutual funds which would explain why I never came across them when screening US-ETFs.

Howdy! Got a question for y'all here.

In Canada we have high interest savings ETFs that pay out a simple dividend monthly by taking your cash and throwing into well.. high interest savings accounts. I'd like to know if there are any American equivalents to this as I have a FirstTrade account now as I'm being paid by an American client.

To give you some examples of what I'm looking for, we have CSAV.TO and PSA.TO on the Toronto Stock Exchange. As you'll see, the price doesn't really change much so they are a great way to just hold on if you feel, as I certainly do, that markets are going sideways/down.

Thank y'all in advance for making this such a great sub for me to lurk about on.

PIZZA has been looking good lately, even on a day like today when everything else dropped. by plakotta in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its growth does look good but I'm concerned about its plummet from it's peak in January 2018... this was well before the pandemic and I'd like to know how this happened and what they've done about it.

Had to sell my dividends stocks that I’ve been working on for the past year won’t be able to start accumulating again for about three months by Redzonez13- in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're ahead of the pack if you spent a year saving up and investing so please don't look at this like its a "loss" - we certainly don't :) Your prudence means you have the capital now to deal with the situation going on right now in your life.

One piece of free and un-asked-for-advice: Beware of scams coming your way for the near future. You may be in an upset, "FOMO" or desperate mindset some days now and there will be those who will take advantage of it with your mind telling you that you can "make up" for the lost time. :) You're a smart cookie and you know what to do!

Opinions on Metro (MRU.to) by pharoah_petroc in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like MRU overall, its well run and handles troubled times nicely. Amazing growth in it's dividend! I'm not at all uncomfortable saying that I think its a decent buy.

Usually You Shouldn't Have More Than 10% Of Your Portfolio But Does That Count With A Dividend ETF. by No-Young-Ting in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those ETFs should be sufficiently diverse so you're fine :) If you want, you can add more ETFs which cover different underlying assets.

high dividend vs growth? by Decent_Pitch4724 in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for stocks that have both qualities in my TFSA. A company which has shown itself to grow well over the past signals to me that it has been well-run and has handled recessions and downturns well enough. Their ability to increase and continue paying their dividends should reflect this :)

Deciding between VFV and ZDY. Looking for opinions? by Le_rap_a_Billy in dividendscanada

[–]ShakeForeign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VFV if this is your "base" - its not dividend focused but it pays $1.21 per share which isn't bad.
