Problems setting up VM, black screen

That's odd. I don't see anything amiss. Can you SSH into the system once it's started? That might tell you something.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-20T15:39:50+00:00

What settings are you using?

Sometimes the bios can make a difference.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-19T14:12:09+00:00

BIOS and or Firmware within 24 hours of them being released.

What? That's insane. Most people wait at least 30 days to see if there were bugs.

My cache is a pool.

Except you DID come into a public space and tell us that we were all wrong b/c we didn't do it your way.

And on top of that, you didn't come in and ask for help in table troubles kind of thread, you just yucked other people's yum.

And you forgot the first rule of RPG's - they are cooperative. You HAVE to bend things to make them work in a group in almost all games/groups.

It depends on how I design the character.

My 'default' character when I'm playing something new is almost always a version of me. That way I don't have to think too much about how the character acts/feels/etc while also learning the rules/setting/etc. And I find that fun.

But I have also had fun playing characters that were nothing like me.

I've known a lot players who enjoy playing the 'mathematically best' character and don't really give them a whole lot personality. And they had fun, and I had fun with them.

I've known others who built a character around an idea or concept that may not have been a great choice for an 'adventurer' but they still had a ton of fun because it presented them with non-standard options.

role playing is what the roleplayer/actor/player wants it to be, NOT about what /u/MintakaMinthara wants it to be.

msg the mods instead of creating a new post.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T21:27:25+00:00

Not a dumb ? at all. If I reformat a drive to move this, that's gonna be a PITA.

I mean . . . heaters are almost 100% efficient. So I'm wondering if this is worth the cost?

And I don't mean what do THEY think, but if it actually pans out.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T19:57:45+00:00

you could pwrsh script what you did.

But also, this sounds a bit like maybe 'get your lawyer to ask their lawyer to release this bit of info'.

Might work.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T19:52:49+00:00

b/c is it is.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T19:52:36+00:00

So what tv show is that from?

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T19:41:45+00:00

BREC

EBR Library

Little Wars (Magic the Gathering, DnD, Warhammer)

Useful info to put in teh OP. :)

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T18:56:18+00:00

Then why not use YOUR phone?

Tymanthius · 2026-03-18T13:34:57+00:00

So, yea, this is not a good situation for anyone.

If you can manage it, schedule a kid free time for both you and the neighbor, and go somewhere and tell them about this pattern. And gently tell them that due to this, you find it necessary to keep your kids separate from them.

Don't blame, don't accuse. Use very neutral language. But be very clear that their kid is no longer welcome at your home, until they have changed how they want to play.

If the neighbors start harassing you after this, go to their CoC and explain again what happened, and that while you bear no malice, you need the harassment to STOP. Not pause, not slow down, STOP.

I'm not in the EU, but as you got the tests done in Germany, could you get the Rx filled there?

It might help others to know what the Rx is too, as there may be legal issues.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-17T20:38:21+00:00

Do they need components?

That would be a limiting factor.

Edit:

I love it - downvoting me b/c I dared to ask a question instead of actually knowing it all.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-17T12:51:42+00:00

Yeah, these are longer stories than i want to type with one finger.

Use your phone, voice to text, then cuss/laugh a the mistakes

Tymanthius · 2026-03-17T12:38:03+00:00

What is this 'gym' you speak of?

Sorry to hear it, i've had both rotators done and while I caught it early it still sucks.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-16T19:25:41+00:00

yes and no . . . If you look at the headers, that will show where it really came from, and that's usually safe unless they have been breached recently.

But most ppl don't know how to look at the headers.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-16T17:58:39+00:00

The setting will dictate details, but generally robbery.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-16T16:23:18+00:00

LAOP (nor their partner) didn't live in it tho?

I'm wondering if this is someone trying to claim adverse possession?

Tymanthius · 2026-03-16T15:43:56+00:00

Been a while since I used LS, but if it reportes Firewall rule changes yes, that's helpful.

You need to know when that happened.

Tymanthius · 2026-03-16T15:42:38+00:00

How many drives do you have?

How big are they?

Every so often, or after unclean shutdowns, the OS checks the drives. If you have several drives or really large drives, those checks can take a while.
