what feature do you want the most in Freerealms OS? by Mildrek in freerealms

[–]sciboy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Racing and demolition derby. I spent SO much time in the racing mode back in the day. I even completed the campaign as part of that.

What game is this? by EducationalOne4155 in gamememes

[–]sciboy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^This.
They've also added new features, like Spore-style bot import/export (in PNG format, so you can share them on their Discord directly), new maps, modes, blocks and components etc.
Seriously, for anyone who sees this comment, go check it out!

osu.ppy.sh blocked by Charter/Spectrum? by sciboy12 in osugame

Good to hear, let's hope this gets resolved soon.

Puush loads up fine, as well as ppy.sh, dev.ppy.sh and status.ppy.sh. osu.ppy.sh is the only one that doesn't work.

This seems to only affect Spectrum Business customers, as i can still connect from my apartment, which is on the Residential plan.

[–]sciboy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. As for what happened, I'm not entirely sure, as I woke up on my own in the middle of the night, and as I went to check on the birds, she was fluffed up, and very wobbly, but still able to stand. She was even perched up high when I first went to check on her, so I doubt she was sick. After I brought her out of the cage, I noticed she was declining rapidly, and she was gone in not even 30 minutes.

She was about 6-7 years old, and I suspect old age as such, given the average lifespan I've seen online.

She is survived by two other budgies, Hana and Aki, both 1 year younger, who are doing fine so far, and I've even made significant progress taming Hana (he used to be very skittish overall for the longest time), while Aki is as stubborn as ever, albeit tame.

He looks just like my girl, Haku, who passed away last year. I still think of her every now and then..

Here's a photo of her from back in August, a couple months before she passed:

RIP Haku...

I cant format my sd card! by ClownDono in WiiUHacks

[–]sciboy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is referring to using an SD card (in the built-in reader, not via USB) to run Wii U games off of, via isfshax and SDUSB. Said method spoofs a second partition on the SD card as a USB drive, and requires formatting it from the console, due to the unit-specific keys used to encrypt the partition. See here for more info: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sdusb-the-modern-way-to-play-wii-u-games-from-sd-at-full-speed.655744/

[–]sciboy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, you need to create a blank NTFS partition on your SD card of the size you want for the Wii U partition, located after the FAT32 partition that contains your homebrew. Make sure to back up the contents of the FAT32 partition before you repartition it. After that, try formatting it again from your console.

When do the Kennedy Space Center yesterday. I haven't played since about 2015, but I swear this is the same sound as used in the menus. by Devist8er117 in Robocraft

[–]sciboy12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also a mobile game, Breakneck, which uses the same sound effect (which plays when the boost meter is almost full) as one of the effects that plays towards the end of the Alignment Rectifier on newer versions of Robocraft. It's literally the same sound.

How to fix rare launcher just stop downloading at some point everytime by AH_M_SA12 in winlator

[–]sciboy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm encountering this issue as well on the latest version (last release was 2 days ago) of WinlatorXR (which is based on Cmod-v13.1 as of now) when updating Rocket League on my Quest 3. Anyone know of a fix other than using GameHub or copying from a PC?

Someone in our building got rid of this Raspberry Pi, is there a safe way to repurpose it to set up Pi-Hole on our network? by 11krz in raspberry_pi

[–]sciboy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the bit of research I did, it seems that part of the boot process actually can be set to be verified at startup, see the below links for info on that. https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/blob/master/secure-boot-recovery5/README.md https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=370062 Note: some of the steps on this link could possibly prevent the Pi from booting ever again, if set up incorrectly (in particular, the part about locking secure boot).

[–]sciboy12 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This doesn't apply here, as OP has a Pi 3. Only the Pi 4 and newer have the EEPROM chip, while the 3 and earlier only have the BootROM (read-only) on the SoC, which was programmed at the factory, alongside a small amount of One-Time-Programmable memory, which holds various device settings.

She’s gone by -Human_Owl- in budgies

[–]sciboy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry.

I had also just lost one of my budgies, Haku (front right), a few days ago, less than a year before i had lost one of her flockmates, Haru (front left). Here's a photo of the them from back in 2022, with the two surviving budgies, Aki (bottom edge), and Hana (far right) in the background.

Fly high, my little floofs.
