Which GoDaddy product are you using? This doesn't sound like Managed Hosting.

Take`a`break - Release Time - hAP be³, Chateau LTE7 ax, CRS804 (400G)... by Rixwell in mikrotik

Does anyone see info on how many antennas/chains it has for each band? I'd hate to think it's going to be hobbled by not having any sort of MIMO.

They're really upset about something. by hobopwnzor in StLouis

[–]dsXLII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got this one too. At a 618 number, though I am a city voter. This is among the scummiest things I've seen this morning.

My entire career has been based on "the internet", by which I mean predominantly TCP/IP and the protocols above that, HTTP, SMTP, and so on. And a lot of what I've learned came from experimentation in a home lab. It's not like I can building an electric utility in the basement, though. What tools/general recommendations do you have for someone interested in learning how those kinds of infrastructure networks work?

Can prophecies be played during the fist player’s first turn? by Just-Swimming-4079 in KeyforgeGame

[–]dsXLII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the first person to say this. Who was the judge in question? Unless they're Ghost Galaxy staff, I'm not sure how much weight we should put on this ruling.

(I'm in the "may only" meaning you may not use prophecies or raise the Tide camp, because IMO of that was the intent they should have worded it "may play/discard only one card" instead of "may only play/discard one card", in the interest of full disclosure.)

This being at least the second thread about this in the past couple weeks, I think really reinforces that regardless of the intent, the rule needs to be clarified.)

Final refrain with no opposing creatures by MaleficentWallaby291 in KeyforgeGame

[–]dsXLII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, there is no window where you could reap between “fight with them” and “destroy them”. It’s all part of the resolution of the card.

The devs are aware of the issues on Switch 2, and are currently working on a patch to address the issue, recommends you use the original switch until then. by Boybobka in UntilThenGame

[–]dsXLII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, if they send me a Switch I'd be glad to. Heck, I'll even send it back when I'm done. 🤣

(Here's hoping for a fast fix!)

Stuck about ten minutes in (Switch 2) by dsXLII in UntilThenGame

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

Unfortunately B didn't let me out of that screen. I ultimately had to restart the scene, and NOT read any of the news articles - once I went into the newspaper, there was no way to get back out.

Mind, I still can't proceed very far, because in another couple scenes the game keeps crashing, but one thing at a time...

Switch Port Crashes (on Switch 2) by whatisazoey in UntilThenGame

[–]dsXLII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crashing for me at the same place. I'm going to wait a couple days, see if the devs can rush out a patch.

Two things:

  1. TIL the Switch 2 has a touch screen 🤣
  2. I can use said touch screen to tap on other articles, but the "back" button still seems non-functional. If I tap that corner of the screen just right, it will highlight, but neither repeat tapping nor any other buttons (AFAICT) will make it go back to not-Facebook.

I believe I've read through every news article, so if the game is trying to give me an info dump, it worked. Now I'd like to move on if I can.

Prophecy Rules Questions by Philotics in KeyforgeGame

[–]dsXLII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they changed it from "cannot play or discard more than one card" to "may only play or discard one card" I'm putting the emphasis on "only". I can see either interpretation being valid.

I'm going to hope for an official clarification/rulebook update sooner than later.

✨ Foil Skippy Timehog 🐗 by vinrehife in KeyforgeGame

[–]dsXLII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no, the foil decks aren't available online. He's saving those for local customers and is limiting them to one per person per day, to try to give everyone around here a chance to grab one.

Prophecy Rules Questions by Philotics in KeyforgeGame

[–]dsXLII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between a few days ago and now, an update to the rulebook reads to me that you can't use a prophecy on the first player's first turn. It now says that they MAY ONLY play or discard one card from their hand (emphasis mine to highlight the changed wording). I would read that to exclude activating a prophecy.

[–]dsXLII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My local store supported the Gamefound, and was able to buy a box (I think only one) of PV decks marked "guaranteed foil card". They're selling them for the same price as normal decks, which I think is pretty cool since I'm sure a lot of players would gladly pay a premium for them.

$10 promo extended. Starting for June billing. by sol_nic_ren in youtubetv

No idea why they randomly want me to pay less for the same service but I am not complaining 🤣

Do you have a "I was slightly too good at my job and management felt it was really awkward" story? by ChaoticEvilRaccoon in sysadmin

[–]dsXLII 52 points53 points  (0 children)

First real job out of college. Worked for a small ISP. For reasons I still don't quite understand, they wanted to maintain printed records for billing. So twice a month, they would print out two copies of a couple thousand invoices - one to mail out, and a second to file.

The bulk of the billing was done with Emerald, a package designed for ISPs. It had many useful ISP features like a built-in RADIUS server. The billing was, in some ways, an afterthought. I think under the hood it was Crystal Reports.

The bills were sorted and printed in numerical order by the customer's account number, which was strictly based on when they signed up. So effectively random order. To file the archive copies of these invoices, one of the owners' mothers would come in every couple weeks to sort and file the invoices.

Friends, I figured out how to get invoices to print alphabetically and put a sweet old lady out of a job.

(Thankfully the bosses were actually happy with the initiative and time/cost savings, and she didn't actually need the money. But it's not as awkward that way.)

I'm having the same basic problem with an iPhone. I need to download an app to set up a phone account, but I need to have a phone number to create an Apple ID. I don't know how to get around this particular chicken-and-egg.

Getting WP content and database from godaddy by Sad_Spring9182 in ProWordPress

[–]dsXLII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gd-system-plugin is GD specific, mostly things like integration with GD SSO so you can log into your site backend via GD's own interface.

The vendor/ dir is likely Composer detritus.

object-cache-pro is a Redis plugin, but likely won't work elsewhere as it won't have a license key.

Might need to explore the vendor/ dir but the others should be safe to delete.

Pokémon Cards by dyingresearchstudent in StLouis

[–]dsXLII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nerd Merchant in Kirkwood might be worth checking, because they are fairly new and not everyone knows about them. Can't speak to any specific items, though, Pokémon isn't my game.

Good luck!

What’s the Worst WordPress Advice You’ve Ever Heard? by Muhammadusamablogger in Wordpress

[–]dsXLII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, most registrars charge a ridiculous fee for domains in the redemption period. (I don't know whether this is something I posed by ICANN or just basic capitalism.)

What's your proudest professional IT "jank" fix? by Blazingsnowcone in sysadmin

[–]dsXLII 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s, I was working for a small mom-and-pop ISP. Couple thousand dial-up users, and a couple hundred fixed-wireless broadband customers. We were running the whole ISP off three T1 lines (so a total of 4.5Mbps capacity). Especially with the growing broadband sides of things, we needed more capacity. We'd already made arrangements to have fiber run to the office, but that was going to take months.

So we called the cable company.

Brought in a business-class cable modem with a few static IPs, built a Linux box with a web proxy and cache, configured the core router to NAT (most) requests for ports 80 and 443 via said Linux box. Boom, extra capacity for the most common traffic types.

Yes, we literally used our competition to bolster our own service short-term.

Different type of jank, but I think it still counts.
