This game looks like Beat Saber or https://moonrider.xyz/
It’s ten years old. 2016.
Says its VR supported. I have an old Occulus I could try with it. But it appears to be made for regular screens. And its only $3.99.
Has anybody played it?

You like this deeply branching thing. There are other aspects to gameplay. NV is ugly. I grew up in the southwest and have seen quite enough tumbleweeds. The whole crafting thing was tedious. The game needs fixin, crashes frequently. I gave up when my annoyance level exceeded my entertainment. That was well before your deep branches. NV is meh.

My first attempt to play was only a couple years ago on a modern pc. It didn’t work out. I figured it was just not running correctly. I’d bought them in a bundle, and just figured they were pieces for my collection, not actually games anymore.

You talkin about NV?
Boring. Bland. I played it. Guess I got about a third of the way through. Its not the great game people make it out to be.
Like I said, meh. Although your input is appreciated. Glad you liked it.

Or the first two games? Like, I’m not even sure they are running correctly. It’s old tech. I chalked their being unplayable up to them being literally unplayable.

Oh, you’re fine. It took me 4 1/2 years to get over sobriety and back to normal life.
You’ve wasted much less time.

I say, go with the intrusive thoughts.

How could you not?

Cisco offers a whole lot of free online training as well, on several different websites.
Its kind of a pita to get access in the first place, but its definitely free, comprehensive, and starts from the ground up.
And of course, they have paid training options on those same sites.

Well … How much do you want to learn? How serious are you?

If you want to know networking, the authority is Cisco.
I’m scheduled to take my CCST Network exam tomorrow. That’s an entry-level Cisco cert.
I’ve been studying for about 3 months. Wish me luck …

Junior NetAdmin Cert
The CCST training is online and entirely free.

Access
You’ve got to jump through some hoops. You need to create an account and go through some verification.
They need to figure out if you are ‘overseas’ and whether you should be able to download encryption products.
I think its probably easiest if you use your work email, that’s what they are really looking for.

Cisco U
There’s a shit-ton of free classes at Cisco U as well.
Most of those are not directly cert-related, but a large amount of them were created for people studying for the CCNA, so they are certainly helpful. There’s all sorts of rando training, keep ya real busy. Here’s one I’ve started.

Lab Environments
The whole study program uses Packet Tracer for the labs, which you download from them.
I also got a copy of Cisco Modeling Labs running. That was a bitch, had to shoe-horn an OVA to run on Proxmox.
And I got an older edu copy of the Cloud Services virtual router, if there’s anything these other lab environments can’t handle. (This version can be freely downloaded … csr1000v-universal9.03.12.00.S.154-2.S-std.iso)

I prefer to think we are all shrinking as the universe’s energy runs down. That makes more sense than an infinite space expanding.
But that’s whacha get when internet morons like me comment on cosmology. :]

Do ya get the feeling he’s stirring some shit?
The glee with which he states his truths and challenges the reader to defy them…
That’s performative. You don’t have to act like that just to make a point.
He’s looking to jostle some jammies, as far as I can see.

Look, I love Fallout. I did my best to play 1 and 2. I own em.
I guess I’m doing something wrong. Unplayable. Literally.

While I’m at it … New Vegas is ok. Meh. Fallout 3 was better. :]

Man. I know what they were. I don’t want to review them. Water and my adventurous spirit, aka dumbass kayaker, almost took me out twice. You’re pretty fukin exhausted after fighting for your life. No fun. And then the motorcycles and booze over and over. Right. No, I don’t want to review any of that. Made it through once. Enough.

Well, it was an interesting article, and I agree with all their points. I’m not sure what I expected. The article was a bit more wide-ranging than just a list of facts. Yes, it did predictably start off with climate denialism, but it went other directions too. Worth a read.

Edit … Heh. I’ve rescanned it a few times. I love the way the guy shits on AI on the way out the door. Good work.

More edit … um … this guy’s a freeeak. Love it. He’s got a podcast called Starts With A Bang. He looks like Dr. Robotnik.

vCenter itself wasn’t really useful until version 4.x or so. It got a lot more modern at 5.5, the dawn of the recognizable vCenter, but up to that point people considered vCenter optional.

In much the same fashion, this PDM is just a bolt-on addition right now, nearly useless.
But its gonna become a locus for service management, and it will eventually be an integral piece of your cluster.

I would like to see PDM bring new DR replication capabilities to us. Sorely needed.

Fuk this post.

Fire it up.

for centralized, enterprise-wide visibility and continual business transformation to the agile hyperscale agentic industry of … um … i lost track.

“stable”
This PDM software is not going to be stable. Its a brand new 1.0 product from a company that moves fast and breaks shit. I doubt they went a single day without releasing patches for this thing.

I have a collection of the PDM alpha releases. That was some of the raw-est most-uncooked spaghetti I’ve ever seen served up by a software company. There is no way they got this thing across the finish line. It’s gonna have issues.

That said, this vcenter-like hyper-hypervisor console showed some promise. It provided one brand new capability, hot vmotion between clusters. While the data displayed about clusters and hosts had a janky feel, it was some sort of common interface.
A poor start, but a start nonetheless.

I dunno. It wasn’t useful enough for me. I’ll look at it again later. I’m slowly working PVE 9 and PBS 4 into my environment, now that they’ve aged to a .1 rev, and that’s got me plenty busy.

EDIT: Should you decide to have a Proxmox Datacenter Manager adventure, you’re really going to want to view the stickied threads at their dedicated forum.

Nah. Spin it up. It was a buggy POS when I last tried it, so don’t expect too much. But what are ya doing homelab for? Mostly people want to learn and play. You should play with this toy.
