The Chronicles of Riddick

Yeah I know they made ‘Riddick’, it’s okay and a nice step back into more of what Pitch Black was. But I wanted to know more about the Elementals, the Necromongers, other races that were extinguished, or like the Furyan… thought to have been purged.

Edit: Tossing in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets as a bonus. Another cool world I wanted to see more of.

+1 For the Palm Pre series. My wife still misses her Pixi and I went as far as making a FrankenPre 3 to keep using one.

Running with this idea and the mythology of the Thirteenth Tribe. Perhaps it does, or did exist after a split or exodus in the time of the first and second sets of cylons. What we’re presented is a bottled (at a universal scale) experiment of the remaining ‘angels’. The last of the early cylons working from the long dead memories of humanity, still driven by an extermination directive long forgotten by ‘modern’ cylon iterations.

As a place to start, here is what I think is a well curated list of top titles for many retro systems including the SMS and Genesis.

Thank you all for the kind words. It’s never easy, but now that the shock has worn off and I’ve had some time to grieve it is getting easier.

Been using Wyze camera’s (Cam OG) for 2+ years. If you load an sdcard into the camera it does store locally, overwriting the oldest footage as it goes. You can then browse the footage on the sdcard and save as a video file via the app. I’ve done 20+ minute captures of the local wildlife and uploaded to YouTube without issue.

My first experience with the internet was in the early 90s, when our high school computer science class went to a programming competition held at one of the state universities. While wandering through the library I came across a gopher terminal attached to the campus mainframe. It wasn’t much, and at one point I thought I locked it up, but tapping through hyperlinks on that amber monochrome display felt pretty amazing to me at the time.

Replying to say dd is probably the better method for archival, but this works for me in most cases.

This should work for -most- DVDs, unless they’re using some unique copy protection.

The following packages are needed: dvdbackup, libdvdcss, cdrtools

To get info on an inserted DVD (and check it can be read): dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -I

To rip the DVD to a directory (-M will mirror the disc): dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -o /path/to/store/dvd/ -M

And then to write the directory contents to an iso image: mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o /path/to/save/movie.iso /path/of/ripped/dvd

From there you can archive the iso, mount it for playback, etc. My next step was a combination of MakeMKV and Handbrake to encode the main movie (H.265 MKV 480p30) for storage on a media server.

I’ll second this as someone who used to administer an AMI headend. This is essentially an industrial wifi access point. This device connects to the utility’s operations network, and provides connectivity to smart meters in the area.

This video is almost 15 years old. Link: https://youtu.be/0yfArN-e2OU

At least the sequel is relatively new but sadly (?) doesn’t include timestamps like the first. Gotta respect the hustle though.

Seems to be working for me again.

Yep, seeing that with my deck and HoloISO desktop right now. Best advice is probably to avoid restarting, and potentially switch to offline mode if you’re still logged in.

My curiosity got the best of me, here’s the link to Wright: https://www.wrightmfg.com/products/mowers/commercial/stand-on/robotic-zk/

The Mower

• 40HP Vanguard Engine
• Hydro-Gear Smartec Drive-By-Wire 12cc
• 15.5 Gallon Fuel Capacity
• Centimeter-level accurate RTK GPS
• Commercial-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
• Depth-sensing object detection cameras
• Rock-solid wireless emergency stop
• Remote control mode
• Live Greenzie support: Call for support while in the field for real-time fixes.

The Software

• Mow the boundary once, and the mower fills in the rest
• Remembers maps and can repeat them when you come back. Just place it in the previous boundary.
• Create no-go zones that will be saved with your map to avoid hitting hard-to-see obstacles like drain covers or small pipes sticking out of the ground.
• Record and repeat: Record yourself mowing the entire property, and the mower will replicate your movement.
• Manage the mower with the controller or a smart device in real-time.
• Advanced fleet support: See how your fleet is performing. Replay entire jobs, not just a dot on the map.
• Run multiple units at once.
• Set the stripe angle (for those stunning cross-hatch patterns)
• Seamless automatic updates
