@pascoda @jonty @jonathanhogg Me: “I’m going to commit to doing less next time”.
Also me: “But running a bouldering wall in Null Sec does sound amazing”.

@pascoda @jonty @jonathanhogg LED lit holds on boards to highlight different routes set via an app are in basically every gym now. Projection mapping of people’s route across them less so.

@jonty @jonathanhogg @pascoda it does seem terrifyingly doable. Biggest problem to solve is probably how to mount climbing holds on an LED wall. Nothing that can’t be solved with a lot of perspex, a laser cutter, and some planning though.

@CatherineFlick @jonathanhogg @pascoda certainly having axes thrown at you would incentivise getting good at speed climbing.

@jonathanhogg @pascoda damn it, now we do have to make this happen because that sounds great.

@pascoda @jonathanhogg hey, we’ve got an installation for you - I’d say it has a very respectable 75% chance of not killing or seriously injuring someone across the duration of the event, which is almost a guarantee.

@pascoda I am extremely up for this, I’m less up for the insurance/compliance implications of either a) getting proper bouldering mats under it or b) putting (possibly drunk) people who’ve never climbed before in harnesses in the dark.

@pascoda up the outside of a stack of containers, I’m liking it, although possibly drunk climbing above a dance floor is inadvisable.

At the climbing gym where someone’s got an advert up for a home wall. Regrettably it’s *just* too big to fit in the end of a shipping container, although this is probably a good thing because I don’t really need to add “buy a shipping container” to my todo list.

"Heat Level 2 in 40 minutes" in my phone's notifications with the minutes counting down reads more like a threatening message in a PvE video game than an actual real warning about the weather outside.

@dmarti I don’t think this is a paradox at all. Community culture doesn’t just build itself, it’s a result of the decisions made by that community (and often specific people within it) to make sure people who they want to be welcome are and those who they don’t want present self select out.

@barnoid @pikesley I’m both sad that didn’t come off because she’d be great in front of an EMF audience and kind of glad it didn’t because I’d have completely missed her, seen these videos after anyway, and then felt bad for having missed her.

@pikesley I’m not sure why YouTube decided I needed to see this channel where someone live codes music with Strudel with a somewhat haunting narration but I’m glad it did, and think it would be up your alley. youtube.com/@switch-angel

It kinda maybe works, except the specific mod in question doesn’t for reasons I’ve run out of energy for diagnosing (if that’s even possible given these mods are a random bundle of assets and assembler patches to the game).

This zip file contains another zip file, which contains three 7zip files, which might contain what I need in the correct format.

Extracting a zip file? Full documentation and a YouTube video.

How to convert the game dump into the relevant format? To obvious to even name the format so you can search for it.

I’ve been at this for approximately 3 hours now, I’m so deep in bullshit web pages which explain absolutely everything in insulting detail apart from the bits that are specific to the actual tool being described.

You will surely not regret saying you’ll set the boy up with yet another path to modding Breath of the Wild because the existing one didn’t support most of the mods.

@barnoid @mechapinata@mastodon.social @jarkman did someone replace your account with a markov chain?

@jonty just @ me next time ok?

@advancedrubbish yeah, I ended up dumping Tailscale a while back because it felt like it was getting in the way more than it was helping. (This is entirely self inflicted, my flat probably doesn’t *need* more VLANs than rooms)

@advancedrubbish definitely worth investigating though, and if nothing else might rule out the problem being the router not being able to keep up.

@advancedrubbish if I had working IPv6 on both ends I absolutely could, unfortunately only my home end has IPv6 working. I do have a server I can put in the middle to relay traffic but I’m not at all confident it’ll help matters.

Cat sitting for a friend so I set up Moonlight for game streaming from my nice computer at home to my Steam Deck plugged into the TV here. This works beautifully, even at 4k120 over my home network, but Wireguard is being terrible for me and I can barely handle 1080p30 currently despite both ends being on symmetric gigabit Internet connections using the same ISP, I fear this is my Unifi router not being quite beefy enough.

@megadec I mean it’s not *un*common, depending to what degree the plane in front hasn’t cleared it by. There’s a reason pilots review the missed approach procedure before every landing.
