Search is dead. Or at least, it will be soon. What do I mean? I mean that within 18-24 months, using google is going to be effectively pointless. I’m going to make a personal bet against myself that this isn’t true, and I hope I lose. But I can hear you asking, why do I think this? Well, lets look at how google right now today works: You go to google.com You type in a query The results are interpreted by an AI and you’re given a likely kinda right but mostly wrong answer You scroll past that and go nearly to the bottom of the page to find somthing relevant - Assuming anything relevant even appears on the front page. And the last two points are what is going to end up being the issue. ...

I can’t help but recommend doing what OpenRCT2 did if you can Keep the game playable for the entire process. How? Make your decomp into a DLL that’s injected into the main, original executable. As you add code to the decomp, make it so that calls to that code go to the decomp instead of the original. Over time, more and more of the game will be from the decomp, until one day you can simply replace the original executable, and in the mean time you can VERY easily check if your new code works, or at least doesn’t crash. ...

Okay so I have found myself in an interesting situation I want to have my Router/Server/Whatever you want to call it, uWebServer is how I refer to it, build and serve builds for the rest of my machines. It’s reliably on, water cooled, under my stairs, and most importantly, not a laptop. And to be clear, by builds, I mean my NixOS flake outputs - all of the binaries needed for any of my computers to run. ...

See? Some people still do it.

Aight, so first off: I love Majoras Mask. In my list of best games of all time, it sits solidly at #1. So of course, when I heard that there was not one, but two different PC ports, and that they were done by entirely different people, using very different methods, I had to try them both. Now, I’ve beaten Majoras Mask, to 100%, multiple times. On the Nintendo 64 with my reliable gold cartridge with the holographic front, on Project64, Mupen, and WiiVC. I have a deep, intimate knowledge of all things Majoras Mask, random bits of lore, how to do just about anything in the game. ...

I recently built a router using NixOS. Here’s how I did it. I’m going to skip a lot of the middle learning stuff I did while I figured all of this out. And there is still a lot of stuff I need to learn. Like how to handle IPv6! Hardware My router/server is a custom built gaming PC from many years ago. It has an i7-6700k, 32GB of RAM, and a pair of 256GB SSD’s in btrfs raid0. It’s overkill for a router, but it’s what I had laying around. ...

I built this on Nix. And it was very easy. First though, Credit where it’s due, I borrowed from This with some updates. At the moment, the configuration for this site looks like this: { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }: with pkgs; mkShell { buildInputs = [ hugo ]; } Which frankly, is excellent! (Also of note, I’ve set it up so that the text above will always be the current version that’s in use!) ...

First Post! Heck!
