hope the games aren't region locked |
|

I doubt it - cart-based games tend to be easy to get around |

e.g. SNES tab clipping |

Alternatively, use a Game Genie |

looks like it doesn't |

kennethre |
i'm surprised |

kennethre |
i guess it's mostly a NTST/PAL thing |

shaqfu |
Yep |

Region-locking is relatively new |

02:57

shaqfu |
I don't know of any pre-CD systems that did it |
|
02:57
🔗
|
shaqfu |
The Saturn did |
|

kennethre |
i'm thinking of using it with an lsdj |

Any special reason why the Pocket? |

kennethre |
shaqfu: my first gameboy was the pocket :) |
|
03:00
🔗
|
kennethre |
so purely nostalgia |
|
03:00
🔗
|
shaqfu |
Gotcha. I wasn't sure if it had a special sound chip compared to standard |
|
03:01
🔗
|
kennethre |
nah, they're mostly the same |
|
03:01
🔗
|
kennethre |
though some people think the original one had better quality audio |
|
03:01
🔗
|
kennethre |
you have to mod it to get a better headphone jack though to notice the different |

people get really into this stuff, it's crazy ;) |

Ouch; I'd hoped to grab all of Gutenberg's Kindle books, but didn't realize quite how many there were :( |

So much for fitting it in 16GB |

do you still have the launch-era gameboys? |

for anyone with the original Gameboy, here's a fascinating hack to add a backlight and fix the lines-on-the-screen problem: http://hackaday.com/2012/06/11/adding-a-backlight-to-the-ol-game-boy-brick/ |

underscor: you know what I would like to see? some information on the new petabox nodes, such as possibly who makes the case or whatever |
|
04:37
🔗

Coderjoe |
since http://archive.org/web/petabox.php seems to be dead, and the only info brewster's shared there are general stats and a few pictures |

game boy doesn't have region protection, other cartridge systems do though e.g. pc engine / turbografx-16 |
|
04:59
🔗
|
DFJustin |
oh wow I didn't know you could fix the lines |
|
04:59
🔗
|
Coderjoe |
and, iirc, the genesis did, but it was mostly just based on video format |
|

shaqfu |
I wouldn't call PAL/NTSC region locking |

is there any software that i can easily use to scan static html files for spam? |
|
08:38
🔗

Schbirid |
eg something like "grep -Rl spamdefinition file" that gives me a percentage or so |

spamassassin maybe |

08:45

damn it is slow |

add these to your config and you can scan any files nicely |

takes several seconds per html file for me though... |

Coderjoe |
not surprising. it is a gigantic perl beast with many regexes |

Coderjoe |
and possibly other stuff like dns resolution for dnsbl stuff |

09:34

Schbirid |
any good alternatives? |

Most are dual octocore xeons (I don't know the model number off the top of my head) |

so they use them as both storage and VM hosts, effectively rolling the old "storage node" and "power node" into one. |

thanks. I thought the hotswap bays looked a bit like supermicro |

huh |

Coderjoe |
that's an interesting, but probably somewhat inconvenient, design. |

make the mobo area only 2U and stuff another 12 hotswap bays in the back |

holy shit- listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShbP3OpASA , apparently Linus actually wrote machine code for several years because he didn't know any better |
