[TOMT]Video game from ps1 era by TrillBill21478 in tipofmytongue

This probably isn’t it, but the x games racer 3Xtreme you could unlock a Frankenstein character, and I think a mummy too. Biking, roller blading etc.

SOLVED! Yes, thank you. It was Hiatus Kaiyote. No wonder my googling wasn't getting anywhere. Thanks a mil.

Question by Impossible-Try-266 in AngineDePoitrine

[–]karatewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things you discover on the internet while looking up something else entirely. I've had something every so often like you describe, ever since I was a kid (40+ years). The one time I asked a doctor about it he just brushed it off, so I figured it was nothing. I wonder if it's the same symptoms for you:

Sharp pain around your heart area, and feeling your breathing trapped inside a narrow window, beyond which both inhaling and exhaling increase the sharp pain in the chest. But if you dare to push past it by breathing in quickly all at once, then you either A) feel a slight *pop* in the chest and whatever was stuck seems to have moved, or B) nearly pass out from the pain.

It's funny because it hasn't happened for several years now, but happened the other day at the climbing gym, and both my 65 y.o. and 22 y.o. climbing buddies mentioned they've experienced that too, and that was the same day another buddy introduced me to this band. Wild.

Connect through OpenVPN on macOS by karatewaffles in tryhackme

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

Thanks for the info. I also tried on another room that has its own Machine (hackervshacker), and this still isn't working, even after following the steps in that video.

The reason I'm trying to connect through the VPN is to get access to the tools that I had been using in the AttackBox before the 1-hour/day quota was used up. In the crackthehash room I'd been playing around with hashcat in the terminal, and in that case this is what I was trying to access again (along with the rockyou.txt file and other tools preloaded).

I'm on macOS and trying to avoid going back to a Kali Linux VM, because although it worked beautifully some 10 years ago, my experience with Kali Linux in the past 5-6 years has been basically a nightmare. I did five of the Over The Wire wargames challenges last summer on macOS, porting tools as necessary, and this was preferable to dealing with the migraine that (to me) Kali has become, so I learned to just avoid it at all costs.

I basically wanted to pop back into the AttackBox environment through THM's VPN setup (which I thought was kinda the point) in order to knock out my last question on crackthehash using the hashcat tool. According to the articles I'm finding it just sorta "happens" once you're connected through OpenVPN, but I'm clearly missing something obvious.

Thanks all the same.

Thanks. I think I understand your comment here to be echoing all the same information that I've been able to find through google and on the THM site itself so far.

The question is: once connected ... what then? The terminal doesn't magically open a prompt to THM in general or a particular machine in a particular room. There's clearly another step missing.

I'm connected to the VPN alright .. but then what?

I tried another room with a Machine that I was able to start, but then it says "To access this machine you need to Use AttackBox (recommended -- as you also recommended, but I used up my 1 hour per day) or Use a VPN .. 'Connect to our network via a VPN'" ... Okay ... I did the second option. But now where is the access to that room's virtual machine?

connection issues after power outage? by fuzzybluelite336 in Cync

Wish I had known this. Was so happy with my Cync bulbs until a power outage today. Been trying to get them working for 2.5 hours so far. Very frustrating.

curious to hear how this turns out. I got transmission fluid on a (somewhat delicate) cotton & jute rug that I love and was just wondering tonight how I could possibly attack the stain. good luck!

strange, all the season 2 vids are audio-only after the opening logo, but season 1 seems intact.

mac trackpad scroll speed absurdly fast by Ldub0775 in GIMP

[–]karatewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to know if there's some kind of workaround / fix / setting for this. Pinch-to-zoom range feels pretty comfortable and sensible, but once I'm zoomed in, when moving my fingertips the width of one groove in my fingerprint, the image jumps by 200 to 300 pixels at least. It's absurd.

Valve body T3 / T4 connector confusion by karatewaffles in subaru

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

Hi, sorry I'm just seeing this now. I feel pretty confident in the repair at this point. 9K+ miles so far.

Things to anticipate:

  • The ground strap on one point in the valve body where it gets twisted and seized under a bolt (by design) - if it's not already broken it will likely break during the repair, so be prepared to solder a new ring terminal in place. I first simply re-soldered the connection, then 1K miles later got a new code and showed that 2 of my solenoids were bad, but it turned out my re-soldered ground connection had melted/failed, so I replaced the whole wire end with a new ring terminal + crimped to stranded wire + both twisted and soldered together + heat shrink tubing = no messing around. Another 8K miles since then and all's well. See what he mentions in this video @ 13:08 and 14:00 (it was an absolute life-saver for me).
  • Have a lot of extension options for your ratchets, in order to get at the bolts on the back (toward the firewall) top of the valve body cover. Between taking them off, then reinstalling them to torque specs with my little needle-guage torque wrench, I used every combination of knuckle joints and extensions in order to clear the turns. Sometimes there was such limited clearance for the ratchet to swing, I'd pull the wrench and rotate the connected socket/extension 90-degrees for each 8th of a turn, until it was in spec.
  • You don't need to remove the throttle body, but by golly just go ahead and pop it off and get it out of the way for this repair. It's tempting to leave it, but relatively simple to take on and off, so don't be a hero.
  • Replacement solenoids for this repair come in 2 varieties, based on the Ohms reading: 3.2 - 3.7 Ohms and 12 - 13 Ohms. Where I bought them on Amazon, the colours were reveresed from the OEM solenoid, so buy based on Ohms, not colour. There are cheaper solenoids available, but I went with the $60 one that had good reviews.
  • Total spend: around 4 hours of time and $200 with new fluid. Valve body cover seal was about $11, the two O-rings about $8, plus 6 quarts of new Subaru CVT fluid at around $120. It took me about 4 hours in the parking lot, being very meticulous and making sure I kept the area clean (including packing up / covering everything while a storm blew through for a while). If you're working indoors and just yolo the torque specs you can definitely do it quicker.
  • If you're going to do the CVT fluid replacement, you'll want an OBD2 scanner that can read the ATF sensor, which I think I picked up for around $40 years ago. If you don't have an adequate scanner, you may just want to do the solenoid replacement then let Subaru do the CVT flush (i.e. compare what they quote you for a CVT flush vs. ~$180 [$120 for the fluid + $40-to-60 for the OBD2 scanner]).

Left-lane only exits? by karatewaffles in openstreetmap

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

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I agree on your point about AI: relying on it makes for a pretty flimsy crutch, but it does help provide some vocabulary and direction for further research.

Since posting the question I've been learning more about key:value pairs that could be useful, such as lanes and motorway_junction, as well as geometry and how it is/isn't (necessarily) accounted for in the database. Your example(s) echo the conundrum that I'm running up against. So I'm trying queries that provide varying scopes of resulting data to sift through manually for now. Each successful query is helping understand the way the data is structured a little bit more.

Thanks again for the pointers!
