So I thought I might have a GPU problem, but it turns out that it was just a bad stick of RAM!

Just started reading Designing Your Perfect House: Lessons from an Architect and I think I’m going to like it. I’ve always had a deep love for architecture, but was always against approaching it formally until I had formed my own opinions firsthand. I kinda like observing buildings to see how they make me feel, then try to figure out why.
I'm not super excited about first person shooters, or gaming in general, but I had a fun thought. We could have something like a LAN party after work, (beer and pizza) with all of the levels being different buildings we've built in the past. We already have most of the models, but they're in Autodesk formats. I remember pulling some stuff into OpenSimulator once, but something like Red Eclipse would be better. Anyone done anything like this?
AI designed ITX cases...NICE!

He has been found and is safe!
One of my coworker’s sons(13) has been missing since Sunday in Golden. Prayers and watchfulness needed.
Am I the only one who liked the Wilfred(American version) series? I wouldn’t call it super wholesome, or for kids, but it struck a chord with me.

Ok, got it working…that was tough.
~$ sudo apt install inetutils-talk inetutils-talkd inetutils-inetd
remove the "#<off>#" in front of the "talk dgram..." line in the /etc/inetd,conf file.
~$ sudo mv /bin/inetutils-talk /bin/talk
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart
Ta'Da, working, at least on the same box.
Thought it would be fun to get the old talk program working in Linux…no luck. It really shouldn’t be that hard. The live typing feature was memorable.

Have any of you folks realized/figured out a fix for USB3.0 in Linux? It is incredibly slow.
Last night's data transfer:
"received 61.1G stream in 37893 seconds (1.65M/sec)"
I think I would have been better off with USB2.0.
My fairly new desktop keeps cutting off, not sure what's up. It's not overheating. Scrolling through a specific video file will do it. Trying to zfs send/receive to a USB flash drive did it a couple of times. Happened while booted on a live disk too. A couple times seemingly randomly. Weird that another desktop died this week too. I don't think Heidi's been pouring chocolate milk in my cases...
Merry Christmas!

3 weeks ago, i felt a strong prompting to go spend time with my family. I did, and events led to me and my father sitting and talking alone for about an hour and a half. As it was happening, I had a very strong sense that this moment was very precious, so I tried to pay attention.
As i was driving home I was trying to make sense of what I had experienced. I wasn't quite sure what it meant, but it felt like things were about to change. One week later, all of his systems just suddenly started shutting down. Heart, liver, kidneys, brain, everything.
They rushed him to the hospital, but by all appearances he was gone. They couldn't figure out why his systems were shutting down.
I realized how precious that time had been. I entrusted the outcome to God, and began thinking about how I could support my family.
But a few nights later, there was a very dark, heavy weight in the air. It was a crushing weight of death and sadness. It pissed me off.
So I pushed back on it, and started praying. At that moment, a random song from Youtube suddenly started playing on my computer. It was a Celtic Hymn. I listened to that hymn on repeat for the entire night. Didn't sleep, and I kept praying. By the time the morning came, things felt different. I felt a very real possibility that my Dad might survive.
I learned later that many people who knew him had experienced something similar. A pretty large group of them even met up one night just to pray for him. They next day, his condition changed. If you knew him, and the impact he has had on many peoples lives, you would understand why so many people would meet together like that.
I spend two nights with him in the hospital. These were very weird nights. He was not really there. He would fall asleep for 30 minutes, then wake up and start physically trying to push something off of him. He didn't even know who I was. At one point he took a swing at me. But it wasn't me he was fighting. He was fighting something else. He was fighting whatever that darkness was that I felt that night. He was fighting for life.
After those nights, I started asking God directly, to bring him home by Christmas. This was, of course. impossible. According to the doctors, there was still a chance he wouldn't make it. I didn't care. I was asking, and I meant it.
Tonight, my Dad came home, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve.
So listen up... I don't know why some make it, and some don't. All I can tell you is this.... Fight. Believe. Believe in the Goodness of God, and His willingness to hear you. And don't stop. Do not be intimidated by mountains. Or as Neo would say, "There is no spoon." Risk believing, and you may see a miracle.
