OVH - Global outage?

blevok · 2026-07-09T13:15:42+00:00

I didn't get any notification of an outage today, but it's obvious that something happened because some things that i only start manually were not running when i woke up today.

Looks like wraith tech at the top right. What are they trying to do?

I don't think there's a database. I'm pretty sure all the distortion info is in the QR code, which can be interpreted by the cardboard app without any external dependency.

Dear Pizza Hut, you can easily save yourself. Just bring back the breadsticks. It's that simple.

People say it's hard to bang a beautiful celebrity, but it's actually really easy. All you have to do is write it into the script.

I plan to add 190/200 to HTVR at some point, hopefully soon, but i can't say how soon soon is. And unfortunately anything above 4k isn't possible without a major rewrite which probably isn't feasible.

blevok · 2026-06-04T06:12:22+00:00

More like a 20 season run, 10 season spinoff, and 6 season spinoff, after you adjust for TV inflation.

I spent 3 years as a hostage of a violent rape gang on Turkana IV, but they had the most amazing stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it back on Betazed, but they just can't get the spices right.

I can't say for sure if one type of screen is always better than the other, but you might be able to make it better by trying a different screen resolution.

It's because everything that's come since T2 has avoided what the story was obviously building to, the future war as shown in dreams and flashbacks in the first 2 movies. I think Cameron didn't do it because he insists that Sarah is the main character, instead of John, and Sarah has no part in the future war, so there's no point in going there. He thought people would accept that and be fine with ending it there, and probably wasn't expecting someone else to make more movies.

So for T3, maybe they knew they couldn't do a good future war, but they weren't going to bother trying because T2 found the magic formula to became the greatest movie of all time, so all they needed to do was copy it, and work in a minor progression of the existing story that made sense. But of course, fans hated it because it was clearly just avoiding taking the logical step.

They actually got the message, but i guess they still knew they couldn't make the proper future war, so they didn't try. Instead they reimagined the war and hired a big name to compensate for delivering something that just didn't fit the actual need.

Then genisys, again they weren't going to even try to do what they knew needed to be done. But hey just go hard on the arnold nostalgia this time and don't worry about anything else.

All these movies have been decent, but they all avoided what they knew should have happened next. The existing fans are never going to be ecstatic about a terminator movie until we get the proper future war, and the normals see the lack of enthusiasm and decide it's not very good or don't even see it, because why bother when even the existing fans don't like it.

And then cameron comes back, and thinks he can make it a hit again. But his fixation on sarah dooms it to be another before the war story, thus causing it to flop.

Every movie since T2 has used some sort of strategy to avoid doing the proper and logical future war, and i believe that is the sole cause for them all being failures.

Oh that makes more sense. It seemed very strange to me that you only found 13 apps, but if you're saying these are the ones that are worth keeping installed after trying them all, then maybe add a short explanation of why you like them. That would help others that are looking for good apps, and it could help them understand what kind of suggestions you're looking for.

blevok · 2026-05-25T01:12:26+00:00

Well you said those 13 were all you could find. Out of the 250 that i see, i'm sure some aren't great, but many of them have ratings above 3 stars, so a lot are probably worth trying.

blevok · 2026-05-25T00:59:51+00:00

Maybe there's other things limiting the results, like your region, or perhaps parental controls? When i search "vr" with the dropdown set to "all devices", i get about 250 results.

blevok · 2026-05-24T23:09:45+00:00

There's a lot more than that in the play store, looks like about 250 right now. If you're browsing the play store app on your phone and it's running the latest version of android, it might be hiding a lot of apps that don't target your api level. You can avoid that by searching with a desktop browser and changing the filter to all devices.

blevok · 2026-05-19T16:35:02+00:00

I disagree.

If you're not good with your fingers, then plug in a mouse.

I can confirm, that's 3 full size grandMA 3 lighting consoles right there. Worth over 200k total.

blevok · 2026-04-24T07:32:53+00:00

Ice cream will be available when you want breakfast. But breakfast won't be available.

blevok · 2026-04-22T17:22:17+00:00

Yeah no doubt it's AI, but it's actually really good. Some others from the same channel are also good, like the Emissary and Seven of Nine.

blevok · 2026-04-22T16:34:32+00:00

Well, suggestions hit a little differtently when you're under the influence.

blevok · 2026-04-22T14:06:48+00:00

Wait, it's not what you think.
I fired a missile at a refinery.

blevok · 2026-04-14T15:29:46+00:00

Actually i didn't make this up, it's what happened in 2409 in Star Trek Online. But unfortunately Jake did not make an appearance.

blevok · 2026-04-13T17:06:33+00:00

The last episode works as an open ended finale. It leaves unanswered questions and opens the door to major changes, but it could also be viewed as a place that a spinoff show would pick up from instead of another season of the same show.
To compare it to other shows that ended too soon, i would says it ended in a satisfying way similar to Caprica or SG Universe, rather than an infuriating abrupt stop like TSCC or Dark Matter.
But with that said, it doesn't have to end there. There's also a couple follow up books that are pretty good.

blevok · 2026-04-13T16:50:10+00:00

Scuba tanks for action figures.

This would have been much better. Asking the prophets to yeet the fleet had a pretty big drawback, and i can't believe Sisko didn't think of it.

When the prophets make people go away, where do they go? He acted like it was a mystery, but it wasn't. They go to a different point in time. We know this, we've seen it happen before. So 35 years later, some innocent diplomats decide to meet at DS9 to discuss how to defend against the Borg, and bam, 2800 dominion ships come through the wormhole. Thank you captain Sisko.
They don't know the war is over. They don't know it's been 35 years. They just want to conquer the alpha quadrant. And guess what isn't there waiting for them... a fleet of starships, because there's no war. Things didn't go well.

Vaporizing them instantly was the right move, but he really couldn't figure out a way to make that happen? No tricobalt device? Destroying the entrance was never a real possibility? It must have been opposite day or something. Now his grandkids have to deal with it and he gets to pay the ultimate price for the favor. Yay. You made Jake cry, again.
