128 Thread Count Edition

Tech News

  • Scripts and emoticons are back.  Had to fix the directory permissions - I coped the files across directly from the backup, and the permissions weren't right for the new web server installation.


  • Wakfu is getting a fourth season.  (Kickstarter)

    Good thing it's already funded, because I'm strongly disinclined to give the idiots at Kickstarter their 5%.  Or whatever their cut is these days.  Ankama, the creators of Wakfu, seem like good people.


  • Using a 128 thread Threadripper 3990X to render video.  (Tom's Hardware)

    No, not like that.  Like this.  (BiliBili)

    24,512 more cores and it will match the resolution of my first computer.


  • Cat sitting on keyboard crashes lightdm.  (Launchpad)
    To replicate: In unity hit ctrl-alt-l, place keyboard on chair. Sit on keyboard.


  • The future of Windows is Linux.  (Thurrott.com)

    Well, close enough.  Also, keep a spare keyboard available for your cat.

One of the most elegant explanations I've ever seen.


Lost Ace of Spades Thread of the Day

I posted this while waiting for one of the Ace co-bloggers to show up after fixing the site, and then one showed up a minute before I posted so I took it down again.

Disclaimer: Alright, cat, two spare keyboards.  But that's my final offer.
