I remember the pregnancy test Doom. Wasn't it "running" on the display only?

I'm enjoying my Sensor Watch Pro so far. That's all the sensors I need in a watch as of now

Wow, this is a good flashback! Used to use patterns on his site almost 20 years ago. Pretty sure HW Bush was in office

I'd avoid hardware RAID controllers when using ZFS, unless you can put it into "IT" mode or equivalent.

Netflix seems to hate theatrical releases, so I hope this doesn't affect any small cinemas that want to screen older WB titles. I know when Disney bought Fox, it got a bit harder to book films.

New comment by mistyvales in "A Love Letter to FreeBSD"

mistyvales — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 23:19:40 +0000

I run freeBSD for a NAS and a couple linux vm's under bhyve. Could I have just installed Ubuntu and been done with it? Probably. I did make some mistakes like setting a very low swap partition, forgetting to switch my RAID controller to IT mode which made me have to rebuild my raidz1 pool, changing my bhyves to UEFI so the internet works better. I made sure the jail I built for plex worked fine. It's been fun. At this point I should probably rebuild the whole damn thing, but I know it will run just fine as is.

Odo spies on Quark in Season 2. Think it was the Maquis two-parter? He doesn't care about Federation ethics early on though.

LD's could also have digital PCM audio tracks in addition to the analog tracks. Some of them later on had Dolby Digital 5.1 as well as some rare discs with DTS.

Look into Hi-Vision as well, which was HD LaserDisc back in the 90s in Japan. Muse was used to broadcast really high def signals for the time.

Didn't they pull funding for mitigation programs regarding this? Or was that rescinded?
