- Watched some more Andromeda – (2000 show), s03e05+
- Oh! The Star Wars Episode I.I – The Phantom Edit was the DVD, and so it’s “I.II”. I edited it’s name to be Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit (2000)[doesn’t exist].
-
I’m slowly absorbing the old website into the new one. It’s probably only going to be prompted by pages on that old website still getting some traffic.
- e.g. Config.wtf, Deluge, rsync
-
Uninstalling an already-disabled W3 Total Cache bricked this website.
- That article was updated with instructions on fixing that.
- Simple 404-error functionality was implemented (four oh four)
-
Hotlinking functionality was (more-or-less) removed.
- People that really want images can spoof their referrer (e.g. with wget).
- I’m still allowing people to view large-sized images. I’m not an asshole.
– Okay, I am, but not for this.

Redirect your 404 pages to a page or a custom URL. Turn them into 301 (page moved), 302 or 307 codes so that search engines aren’t so offended by missing pages.
Does the job, and it’s an important job.
- See also 404 to 301 Log Manager, a payware addon to extend functionality.
-
I do believe that using CloudFlare will hijack your 404 page though. =(

Fiddled with various tags, most notably /tag/software+slpkg and /tag/software+alien for slpkg and alien-installed software.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2975590/
https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/batman-v-superman-dawn-justice
A privileged white nerd-boy never got his patriarchy membership card, so he sets up the most powerful being on earth by using astonishingly advanced alien technology because astonishingly advanced alien technology isn’t good enough and he has to take down competitive patriarchy because something about good and god and evil and stuff.
This movie makes no fucking sense on so many levels, I may as well give it that fuckmenazi description. Characters don’t make sense. Motivations don’t make sense. Lots of action that didn’t need to happen, or happened in the wrong way.
A character that gets whipped up out of nowhere, who only the comic book nerds will vaguely recognize.. and not even understand. Does anyone think all the little comic book nerd boys always wanted to be a woman-superhero? Uh, no. So not popular. So having no explanation, she was dropped in as a deus ex machina. A hot awesome one, but terribly-written and disruptive.
Furthermore, the appearance of The Flash (who I had to look up), made no fucking sense whatsoever. It wasn’t even a deus ex machina, it was entirely unnecessary and confusing fluff.
Yet another bland superhero movie.
- Properly titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
-
Yes, it’s properly titled Batman v Superman, because American theatre-goers know neither “versus” nor “vs.”.
Case-insensitivity can be applied to ls as well as for loops.
LC_COLLATE=en_US ; export LC_COLLATE \ls -1
I made a complete example:
https://pypi.org/project/psutil/
(probably) a suite of various tools which do things and stuff.
I needed pidof.

I created /tag/abandoned and flagged some things.
- Interestingly, if I didn’t know better I would have considered Slackware abandoned. Gotta love that FAQ entry from 1999.
- I don’t know why, but I took another look at Herrie. Apparently I still like updating defunct software that I hated at the time.
-
four oh four got made. Because naming it “404” throws a 404.
- Several pages from the old website were deleted and redirected to their equivalent here. Everything will be, eventually, probably after this software-related stuff.
-
Images ought to be working properly.
- I audited server-side backups, comparing them to recent changes.
- I performed a rain dance.
-
Git was updated with some file un-deletion notes.
- Fucking git doesn’t have a
git undelete filename.extandgit getprevious filename.ext.. as-such. It’s complicated.
- Fucking git doesn’t have a
A sound player thingy.
I’ve got it, I don’t know if I care, though. Noted here for completeness.

2016-03-31, it comes with Slackware 14.1
-
Updated supermaryface with pictures that actually work. It appears that long filenames are silently failing.
- No, it wasn’t long filenames. With some more checking, it appears that random files disappeared. I’m re-uploading them to see if that makes a difference.
- No, that made no difference, so I deleted all images and re-uploaded them from backups, confirming they have the correct permissions.
- Audited 3000+ images and restored some which were broken.
- Holy shit, other images are broken. Not just broken, but entirely missing. Missing from my backups too. This is fucking weird. I’m auditing this entire blog. I’ve already finished recent ones, and found a handful of things which are broken. I’ll continue this process asap.
-
Wow, BadRam is cool.
- Linux kernel support for broken RAM modules.
-
Because I made an Openbox hotkey for Music on Console, I wanted to explore hotkeys for things like volume control.
- I had some old notes in Multimedia keyboard volume control, OSD without an OSD which I wanted to explore.
- In doing so, I split off some new pages for aumix, XOSD and pvol[doesn’t exist]. None of those did it for me, so I’ll just use
alsamixer, which comes with Slackware 14.1
- Made /tag/audio-software and /tag/media software
- Apparently I had two articles on 3D printing, so I roughly-merged them.
-
So I decided to use some images for NumLockX, but instead of some mspaint-esque red circle, I wanted to make something a little nicer. Since I already learned GIMP transparent backgrounds, I wondered if I could create a greyed-image with an ungreyed-area. It turns out I can! Thus GIMP transparency masking was born.
- Did I mention I love documentation? I have? Well it bears repeating.
-
Fuck, EverQuest Next was cancelled!
- Landmark continues to exist, but I have no interest in that unless there would be an actual MMO.
-
Continued improvements to items in /tag/linux-software+live+liked.
- Saying that makes me feel like the artists for Path of Exile – (2013 game). Their patch notes pretty much say their equivalent of Minecraft‘s “removed Herobrine” by saying “incremental improvements to graphics and sound”. Which, unlike (at the time) Mojang, was actually true. Little touches at every opportunity, lots of love from Grinding Gear Games.
- Re-edited past one to state the fact that I last used that program on Lubuntu 14.04.4 LTS. I’m not compelled to update the pages for non-live programs.

(those are images of the IBM Model M keyboard)

Problem: Given an image. Dim the image, leaving an area “normal”.

“Alpha” means “Transparent”.
