@nickchapsas Building on C# scripts, the compiler is happy with the first line being a shebang. You can add one and make your scripts executable. I have the absolute path to the 11p3 dotnet binary, but if it was on your path "#!/usr/local/env dotnet run" would work fine.

@SilverStone_Tek A single external 3.5" bay would make this 110% perfect! Floppy drive, ZIP drive, card reader, the utility would be incredible. Pretty please???

FLP02 is the perfect fusion of nostalgia and next-gen tower chassis, come see it for yourself! ✔️Chassis - FLP02 ✔️Liquid Cooling - NovaPeak 360 ✔️HELA 2500Rz (2500W) May 20–23, 2025 Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 2 – 4F Booth R0313 🔗silverstonetek.com/online/event/2…

The future of retro is here - FLP02 The FLP02 looks straight out of the ‘90s — with a Turbo button, floppy-style rotating latch, and power switch with keylock — but under the hood, it’s ready for RTX 5090, 360mm liquid cooling! #SilverStone #FLP02 #RetroPC #Computex2025

Hey @superloopau, can an individual take up a Totalbiz plan? The better upload would be perfect for WFH.

@Dexerto It's been fun @discord, we'll briefly mourn your inevitable enshittification then move somewhere else.

@coburn64 It's genuine, somebody spent all day Wednesday trying to get in. Idiots. 🤣

@RetroSwimAU Is this genuine or a well crafted fake?

Go fuck yourself :)

@someone_uses @Der_Kernel_ Nerevar isn't the player character name.

@Der_Kernel_ yeah, quick question, is the name gonna be exclusively "Nerevar" or is it gonna read the name we give our character and use AI to read it outloud, like books and letters?

Shitpost Dagoth Ur follower mod I am working on. If you have any ideas please do share! #SkyrimSE #Dagoth #mods

@operagxsupport I want to turn off your password manager to use my own, and the menu item exists, but the toggle itself seems to be missing...? Thus I can't turn it off. Eventually I'll have said "never" for every site and the result will be the same, but c'mon!

@ActionRetro1 That's what Fail2Ban is good for tho, it does the metaphorical fly-swatting for you, based on rules like rate and request/result parameters.

@RetroSwimAU Unfortunately it’s all different IP addresses

FROGFIND UPDATE: Someone has been hammering the site with a scraper using rotating proxies that I can't block. It's pegging my server CPU at 100%. This has caused a service interruption. Working on solutions 😭

@DJSnM The danger of "Nah, it'll be fine."

We've just got the preliminary report on the Catalina plane crash in October and it's truly a series of dubious decisions. It starts out fine, a pilot and two students try to take off from Catalina but during run up they discover a problem with the ignition system. So, they call the place they rented the plane from and the owner tells them not to worry, he'll send out a friend in a twin engined Beech Baron. This friend also decides to bring someone else along. This second plane arrives minutes before sunset, loads up but then can't start one of the engines because of a dead battery. They recharge it on the ground using a backup the pilot just happened to be carrying (maybe because he's been having battery problems?). By the time they're ready to go, it's nighttime, and the Catalina airport is unlit, so night operations are prohibited. The airport manager tells them this, but he can't stop them. They take off, and crashed in the darkness after less than a mile. Notably, the landing gear was not retracted, likely because it's electrically driven. It's possible then that some of the flight instruments weren't working either. So, 3 pilots and 2 student pilots killed in this monument to bad decision making. asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/450397

That's a long time!! And like Radeons will always be ATi, this site will always be Twitter in my mind. #MyXAnniversary

@sincespacies Daresay most of us had it on the good ol PS1. IMO the series peaked here, enough variety to keep you coming back, but not so much it's overwhelming. Top tier entry.

On this day, 25th October 2000, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was released in the 🇺🇸 on PC. Surpringly enough I was into PC gaming at this time in a small way and this was one of the games I spent the most time on. The music and game play was on point. This game just rocked.

@eevblog Had that happen in my Model 3 once. Same fix, yank-to-release thing in the boot. Hasn't happened since. If it happens again I'm thinking maybe try to get a little lithium grease on the lug in the port. So far so good tho, nearly 12 months on.

2am in the morning and my 2020 Hyundai IONIQ EV won't let me leave, the charge cable is stuck in the port. Time for an intervention...

@dosnostalgic Ironically this PC will be actually not-obsolete for longer than any of those "Never Obsolete" systems were back in the day. 😂

Happy 30th, old friend. 🥂

... The side panels need to be taller, I think. The hole the VGA port pokes through is extremely tight, I've filed it out in order for a VGA cable to mate reliably. Everything else lines up really nicely though.

Some feedback on the 3D printed case @TakiUdon_ : - The 10mm (or 11?) spacers between the IO/fan board and the lid really need to be 12mm, so the lid doesn't bend. - With the default 5mm spacers on the bottom, there is a gap between the sides and bottom...

Arrived today in Australia 😁 Thank you @TakiUdon_ !!
