… then I dropped the screw.

~This is my life now.~

Honestly, I’m not sure. Part of me wishes I never existed. There have been so many nights I’ve wished to never wake up. Other times, when my anxiety causes chest pains (right side), I wish it were in the left (heart attack). But then there are times when I see my boys working together to solve a video game problem (I grew up abused by my brother because he thought “that’s what brothers did”), or they make a casual comment about how much they want to do something with me (spend my birthday with me and take me to dinner, on their mom’s week), and I couldn’t be happier to be alive, and I wish I could just be happy because they are all I need.

~I’m sorry, I’m just so very tired.~

Why YSK?

Because a lot of older games require immediate response from the controller (think jumping over pits).

Each TV is different, and may or may not have a game mode. For the longest time, I thought my lag was because of my Raspberry PI (model 4, 4gb). Turns out that turning on the game mode/game optimizer was all I needed. I also added a link to a post that has suggestions for Retroarch changes that can decrease input lag. Relavant content from post:

1. Set max swapchain to as low as possible, I think 1 and 2 run pretty similarly.
2. Turn on hard gpu sync and set it to 0
3. Set frame delay as high as you can go before you get stuttering. On the pi 1, I can go to about 8 with NES core and 4 with SNES. On Pi 3 you can probably go higher, but systems with higher graphics like N64 and PSX won't let you go as high before you run into problems.

And:

(when asked where the settings are) You need to access the retroarch rgui menu while you are in a game. You can do this by pressing X button and select at the same time. Once you get to the rgui menu, you want to click on settings, then video.

John Morales, the actor who played the crime-fighting cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, was sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a 2011 arrest in which police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher – and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

While my son played one season of T-ball five years ago, I still consider this his first season playing baseball. In fact, a lot of the players on his team have never played before.

They did manage to make it into the second round (out of three) of the end of season tournament. This is where my son made his first big play. He was playing short stop, and the kid at bat hit a pop fly that my son managed to catch.

He was so thrilled, and shocked, by the catch that he proudly stood there with both hands in the air. Unfortunately there were people on base, and he forgot to throw the ball back infield, but all of the parents agree that it was okay given how awesome the catch was.

I jumped up so fast, and was screaming/cheering so hard, that I literally fainted (i.e. got dizzy and lost the ability to stand). I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Why do I get a sense that maybe the Breen could be related to the Ubese?

For anyone who doesn’t know, a clock movement is the mechanism that causes the hands of an analog clock to move around the clock face. The “with pendulum” part means that it also swings a weight back and forth to act as a fancy second hand:

Now, there exist clock movements that are “smart” and are network enabled to adjust the time automatically. I’m also okay with an atomic movement. The idea is to adjust the clock twice a year for DST. However, I am having a difficult time (no pun intended) finding a smart/atomic movement that also supports a decorative pendulum.

I was hoping to enlist y’all’s help to see if one exists and where I might find it.

Edit: add comments about atomic clock movements.

Surely the Founders can understand, right?

Edit: title

In older versions of Debian I used to be able to pass sec=ntlm,vers=1.0 as options to mount.cifs (and fstab) and it would allow me to mount my shared disk from my AirPort Extreme.

In Bookworm, due to the bundled kernel version, I am now told ntlm is a bad security option. If I try to use ntlmssp, I am told Unable to select appropriate authentication method!. If I use ntlmv2 or remove the sec option, I get Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.

Funny thing is, if I use smbclient, I can browse my shared drive just fine.

Using a newer version of Samba protocol is not an option since Apple gave up on their products just like Linux gave up on ntlm.

Aside of throwing everything out the window, what can I do to get this working on Bookworm?

Edit: I gave up. Because the maintainers of the kernel decided to remove ntlm support, the only option I had was to downgrade to buster, as it was the last distro to use a pre-6 kernel. Suffice it to say, I'm very disappointed; both in Apple for abandoning their Airport's to use SMBv1, and the kernel devs for further eroding Airport support by removing ntlm. Yes, I get ntlm "bad" (both from an FOSS and security standpoint), but it's still disappointing to be punished simply because I do not wish to litter the landfill with still useful hardware (nor do I wish to spend more money on something I shouldn't need). Anyway, /rant over.
