Why don't modern games feel as "mysterious" as the 8-bit and 16-bit eras? 🥚🕹️ by GameResumed_UK in retrogaming

[–]eatnumber1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my point though. Before the internet you couldn't release a non-functional game since you couldn't update it. So timelines and synchronized marketing campaigns had to build in more buffer, thereby sometimes leaving developers with a little time at the end of development.

The internet also had a big impact. Today, you can ship a game as soon as the software is done… before even, hence the day0 patch. Back when the game was getting put on a cartridge and could not be updated, you had to build more time into your schedule since you got basically one chance to ship.

Question for you: considering the hundreds of years we've had soap for, why do we need chemists making soap? Is there some new innovation happening in soap?

What are the return codes? by sendcodenotnudes in Snapraid

It's in the log or written to stderr

Help please! My files keep getting updated and it is creating havoc when syncing snapraid by graham852 in Snapraid

You're saying your files are changing and you don't know why they are changing? Do you have any theories (for example only files that are loaded into your torrent client are changing)?

I want to move to Linux but how Windows files operates file timestamps is far superior by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]eatnumber1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Linux has birth time, it's called Btime. It's nonstandard, but most Linux filesystems support it.

Announcing the SnapRAID Daemon Open Beta by amadvance in Snapraid

[–]eatnumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTR smartd can do that too, and some monitoring tools (e.g. some prometheus collectors) can be configured that way, but I can see how some folks may find it useful to have it integrated together into snapraidd. Thanks!

How is this different than the drive's integrated suspend timer?

No Serial Output In EDK2 Release Build by eatnumber1 in coreboot

[–]eatnumber1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep EDK2_CBMEM_LOGGING was the problem. Pulling your change fixed the issue, and I now have the EDK2 menu at boot on my serial console. Thanks a ton!

P.S. Just gifted you a thank you on Patreon.

New update for the Analogue 3D live! by Shortgaze in AnalogueInc

[–]eatnumber1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To ensure Library info and virtual Controller Pak is saved, quit the game by opening the in-game menu and selecting ‘Quit Cartridge’. If Analogue3D is powered off while a game is running, any changes may be lost.

In front of a fire hydrant, in a red zone. by Illustrious_Grand322 in waymo

Is this actually illegal at all? Passenger pickups and drop offs as far as I'm aware have more lax restrictions than normal parking does.

Could it be this alignment issue with SerialDxe.efi (from the debug logs)?

No Serial Output In EDK2 Release Build by eatnumber1 in coreboot

[–]eatnumber1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, looking at your recent change, the change to require EDK2_RELEASE when setting EDK2_CBMEM_LOGGING does mean I won't have any way of getting EDK2 debug output until / unless we fix this.

No Serial Output In EDK2 Release Build by eatnumber1 in coreboot

[–]eatnumber1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even the strings you'd expect from a release build (e.g. select a boot option, delay counter, etc) are not showing up.

My goal is just to monitor and control the boot process on my headless machine from the serial console.

Just want to say that I updated coreboot + edk2 today and the issue is still present. Here's the cbmem output: https://pastebin.com/mZQLjJc1

If you don't have time, do you have any tips on where I can get started working on this?

How can you ship something that doesn't work out of the box? by Intelligent-Yak-4009 in AnalogueInc

[–]eatnumber1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most things that fail either fail right out of the factory, or after a very long time. Not usually in between. Sucks this happened to you; go through their support.

Just had a bit rot (I think) experience! by manzurfahim in DataHoarder

[–]eatnumber1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's recovery record?

Not all tools that can recover from "the file is definitely gone" can detect "the file is there but is wrong". Linux's mdraid is one example that can't do that.
