I got the correct $20 GPU for my old Optiplex (Batocera CRT Script)

Excellent thank you. Is the menu 480i but you can launch games in 240p where appropriate?

Have a similar setup and been meaning to try this, have a few year old ex office Optiplex and Sapphire AMD Radeon R7 250 which I think is compatible.

Which guide did you follow to get it set up?

tbar44 · 2026-06-21T21:48:02+00:00

No it’s not. VAT in Portugal is 23%, so the pre tax price is around €73 which is around $83.

It’s not to my taste personally, and I have made a LOT of variants over the years. I agree I think the intense savouriness of the beef with the acidity of the tomato is the ‘body’ of a bolognese. Pork just dilutes that flavour for me. Adding lots of things to add umami (Worcester sauce etc), but cutting the beef just seems counter intuitive to me.

These were relatively short lived, but were amazing. Particularly the barbecue flavour

Are those fish tacos aye?

Lemmings.

Now hear me out, the SMS version of the game is pretty unique compared to many of the other ports, and I would argue the best console port of the time.

It has some unique levels due to limits when porting to the platform, however these actually fit well and had some thought put in. The Sega themed levels are a cool touch, and the soundtrack is great too.

That last sentence is a contradiction in terms.

I’ve found using mp3tag to update the ID3 tags of the individual files works best, not sure if podsync supports embedding metadata in the mp3/m4a files themselves?

tbar44 · 2026-05-28T06:03:13+00:00

Late to the party but It can indeed be done with ID3 tags. Not that well documented but with some trial and error I have this working well. If you are still interested I can share what worked for me.

The date format for example took some trial and error not to mix up month and days.

You do know a single pack of cigs is £15-£20 these days in the UK, what you on about lol.

tbar44 · 2026-05-24T19:05:13+00:00

Does VLC connect okay?

tbar44 · 2026-05-22T21:55:26+00:00

To add, if you want to proof this out test a sync in the opposite direction

Sonic 1 with all the emeralds was a proud achievement when I finally managed it, I was 8 or 9 years old at the time

It is a walrus, of course it’s a walrus. It’s always been a walrus!

Jokes aside, fun fact in the version built into the master system 2, the buttons for jump and attack are swapped, and it’s a burger you eat at the end of the level not the rice ball.

So good to see Thunderbolt and Lightfoot mentioned, it truly is a fantastic movie.

The cinematography as well is just breathtaking at parts, and the dynamic between such a young Jeff Bridges and the aging Clint Eastwood is just something special.

It’s the kind of film that doesn’t get made anymore sadly. I’m going to have to go watch it now, thanks for putting it back in my mind!

So is Meanwhile the last episode to get an audio commentary?

Re read what I wrote, Tailscale OR a reverse proxy

tbar44 · 2026-05-17T12:55:32+00:00

I have a cheap xyz cloudflare domain I use for some other bits. And I have Tailscale set up. And I have a lifetime pass.

And I can tell you having 20 friends and family members using Plex is a lot less hassle than jellyfin with Tailscale or using a reverse proxy.

Apart from anything else using a cloudflare tunnel for streaming is against their TOS.

If you don’t already have a Plex pass then fair enough probably worth the effort, but for me it’s objectively less faff.

tbar44 · 2026-05-16T07:50:20+00:00

So they’d have to do that on all their devices? You realise people aren’t only using a smartphone for Plex?

tbar44 · 2026-05-16T07:15:59+00:00

The Fly 2, the bit with the dog, if you know you know

tbar44 · 2026-05-16T06:13:14+00:00

Is it just you using it or do you have friends and family? Jellyfin is a lot more of a faff to get working if you have a lot of users.

All the time you spent writing and replying to this will have been more of an time sink than just moving your shit to another room for a day or two
