Where Quake2 really shined was in multiplayer, especially mods like q2ctf. Quake2 was released at just the right moment to take advantage of both 3D acceleration and broadband Internet access. Playing a game of q2ctf, in 3D-accelerated 800

Yep, my Golden Tee 2005 cabinet uses a Voodoo3 2000 or 3000 (can't remember which off the top of my head).

Definitely one of my great early memories in computing. I had a similar experience seeing Quake2 running with the Glide renderer (on a Voodoo2) for the first time It was amazing.

Oh man the Celeron A, which was basically a Pentium II with on-die L2 cache. Intel attempted to handicap it by limiting it's FSB to 66 MHz, but any half-decent motherboard would allow you to bump that up to 100 MHz so long as you had

Not to mention I doubt they're even including the bandwidth necessary for 5.1 DD+ audio.

I'll be happy just as long as it doesn't taste like orange drink fermented under a radiator.

Oh man, MailCatcher is worth its weight in gold. Years ago I used to use this to verify mail coming out from a Rails webapp was doing what it was supposed to. It is extremely useful.

At my job I have to work with a lot of JSON that's usually minimized. This command has single-handedly saved my sanity: $ pbpaste | jq | pbcopy Then I can paste it into whatever text editor I want and it's all nice & pretty-p

I use a hybrid approach of .env files and whatever secret manager my cloud platform has available (in this case, AWS Secrets Manager), where anything that's sensitive that needs to be present within the .env file is essentially a macro

And they would have been just as shitty as the Blackberry. Hell, even Google had to go back to the drawing board with their Android prototype because they still thought a physical keyboard on a phone was king....right until they caught a gl

It functions like a lightweight version of minicom (which is a terminal program), which when connected to the console port of many network appliance hardware devices (like switches, routers, access points, etc) allows local access to the de

Hah! I've done something similar. In my case, I could have something like this in my .env file: SOME_CONFIG_OPTION = @AWS::some_config_option And I've written a config library that knows that when a config value starts with `@AW

Lot of people here are saying luck is a huge factor, which it can be. However, you still need to put in the hard work to have something ready for when that lucky opportunity does come knocking. So in summary, your 'lucky moment'

Isn't this something that explicit transactions (BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK) do? Many DB clients can be configured to have autocommit disabled, so that you're forced to either COMMIT or ROLLBACK each transaction.

Maintaining a website shows you're a step above the rest of the herd I suppose.

If you don't need routing, you could always use the vastly simpler ATA-over-Ethernet protocol.

Yep. The P5 arch (original Pentium) superscalar design, combined with its much faster FPU and separation of data and code caches meant it could run circles around a 486-based CPU, even if it was running up to twice the speed of a 486 cont

Thanks! It's definitely cool to be able to use my Raspberry Pi (running Kodi with the Moonshine addon) as a "dumb terminal" to stream from my gaming rig from the other side of the house onto my big ass living room TV :).

lol, I used to do this all the time at non-free wifi hotspot locations, only I'd start off with a ping sweep of the entire subnet (nmap -sP) in order to get my ARP cache filled with a bunch of potential usable IP/mac addresses on

Heh, I remember a group of us doing that as well. Also "penny drops" off the monkey bars, where you'd hang upside-down with your legs, swing back and forth, release and essentially do a flip and land on your feet. God we we

As somebody who's gone from: RedHat 5/6 -> Slackware -> Gentoo -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> Debian. Debian (and it's derivatives) is the best of breed and will always be my distro of choice. Great job yall!

How is this Debian's fault? You're free to choose whatever desktop environment you want.
