Celebrating July 4th properly by drinking Mexican Coke
IBM clearly put a lot of effort and money into developing OS/2 and it's .... a mess. Very unstable (maybe because I'm running it in a VM?) and the UI is really rough. The interface reminds me of 90s Linux window managers, and I don't mean that in a complementary way.
Apparently OS/2 Warp shipped with a program specifically to fix Space Quest IV to run properly?
I like the simplicity of using multicast for this: nodes that want to attach to the VLAN just subscribe to the appropriate multicast address
Yesterday I set up a VXLAN, which is kind of like a VLAN that works over multicast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Extensible_LAN

King Arthur woke from his dreamless sleep, to return in Britain's Time of Need.
Again.
He stretched, rubbed his face, and reached out to the land that had called him.
"Symbol to unite around? Again? I told you, as long as they need that, they can't be helped."
He laid down again.

With all the wonderful and elaborate names for genres of video game ("real time strategy", "roguelike", "first person shooter", "massively multiplayer online role playing games"), it's amusing to me that fighting games are just known as "fighting games".
They're about fighting. You fight. Fighting games.
