Ultima Online emulators have existed almost since the launch of Ultima Online, and are arguably a reason the core game is still running today. Ultima Online launched in September 1997. The first "offline emulator" launched in Octo

Most of my sick days in high school were after big Ultima Online patches dropped, I believe, usually on Tuesdays. A neighbor had much faster internet - I think his dad did work from home? - so I'd download the patch onto a ZIP drive an

> SphereServer Throwback! Pretty sure I still have the source to SphereServer sitting somewhere on my NAS. It was my first exposure -- in early high school -- to coding in a group and operating a Linux server.

Core memories of carefully setting my fisherman on a boat with `ezmacro` before I got ready for school. I'd come home to either a boat full of fish (to later cook into fish steaks), or be dead from a player killer who found my boat and

UO came out when I was in high school. I would time my morning routines around the server reboot to grab those special items, some of which didn't respawn during routine reboots. The bugs were part of the game culture. The first time t

I found a bug. In the docs ( https://micasa.dev/docs/guide/dashboard/ ), it says "Active Projects: 2" but should say "Active Projects: 20".

They stopped signing new enterprise contracts. Enterprise contracts are what pay the bills in most PAAS/SAAS offerings. If it's not dead now, it'll die soon enough.

If the latter were true, the permits would have never been granted. The permits took years of back and forth, public and government commentary. The former is a threat vector but one that can be priced into the ongoing maintenance costs.

Not sure about warranty, but a few years ago my mother's 80s(?) era Delta faucet started leaking. I sent a blurry photo to Delta's service team and a few days later had a link to a replacement part and an old manual scanned as a P
