AnimeForum: Worst type of anime fan?: Ah, the hipster butthurt in this thread is glorious. Someone actually said you can't comment on anime until you've watched 150 of them.
[rblocks]: Experiments · GitHub: Pretty : )

AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] | [Bonus] Lycee Overture Ver. Fate/Grand Order 1.0 Booster Pack 20Pack BOX(Pre-order): Lycee is a card game too? I read it as lychee, and got hungry as well as feeling the urge to collect another set of cards for no reason. Wonder how it compares to Weiß Schwarz?
Colorful Vivaldi Shirt – Vivaldi Store: Slightly more stylish than my Firefox shirt

Problem running "sfc /scannow" Error :There is a - Microsoft Community: At least in the twilight hours, I could take small comfort from knowing this frustrating problem wasn't just mine. SMALL comfort!
Technet: New-IscsiVirtualDisk: How to create a new virtual disk in 2012r2. Thought I'd try making a RAM disk to dump temporary stuff when the filesystem went read only. Was a dead end, but filing for future reference.
Use DISM to cleanup WinSxS after Windows Update | Branko Vucinec: It's amazing Windows Update can hose a box so absolutely.
NEC User Manuals: AS52V72V92V: PDF manual for their beige 17" LCD. I'm building a retro battlestation, hopefully I can source one of these, NEC made really good kit.
SARDU multiboot creator with legacy - EFI support: This looks amazing. A multi-boot diagnostic tool. Might need to add to the USB keychain.

SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) 101: This is the best explanation I've read of this new HDD tech. Amazing, if a little scary.

Selling my Yoko Littner bunny fig - Rubénerd: New post on Rubénerd: Selling my Yoko Littner bunny fig
How an industry of ‘Amazon entrepreneurs’ pulled off the Internet’s craftiest catfishing scheme - The Washington Post: I didn't even know "cat"-fishing was a thing.
First ‘Plastic Memories’ Anime Key Visual Surfaces | The Fandom Post: "The series is an original creation between okiura of Infinite Stratos character designs and Steins Gate writer Naotaka Hayatashi." How am I only just finding out about this?
Facebook's Slack Rival Is Coming Next Month and Will Charge Per Employee - Slashdot: "Slack is huge right now in Silicon Valley. To the point that some people will consider you technologically backward if you don't have it. I make an effort to not work with those kinds of people."
HiDPI display support - MediaWiki: A lot of gains have been made since this was written. Probably should go through this and revise at some point.
"Zoe Quinn is a liar" - Album on Imgur: If the aim of this scrawling, childish mess of a post was to convince us that Zoe is evil and they're not, they're not winning me over. All it needed was to be written in Comic Sans or Impact, and put through JPEG compression a few more times.
Peter's Firewalling with PF manuscript - More than 200,000 served!: I wish all software packages had a source of documentation as good as this. Glorious.
Important Information for Travel to USA | Qantas: I wouldn't say I've travelled widely, but the USA has definitely been the most complicated to arrange a trip to.
TheUrbanPenguin Linux Training: Lots of really great videos here, from the Raspberry Pi, to figuring out Solaris 11 and its new weird networking syntax.
CD-ROM Software Library : Free Texts : Download & Streaming : Internet Archive: I'm super happy and excited this exists; I grew up playing these things! Not sure how this is legal though.
Windows 95 vs. Windows NT Workstation | Windows Client content from Windows IT Pro: Fascinating old article looking at 95 versus NT. Technically NT 3.51, which still had the 3.x interface.
Dialog: An Introductory Tutorial | Linux Journal: There's something really wonderful about learning a new (to you) tool from a magazine article from 20 years ago.
jtarchie/concourse-docker-compose: "No description or website provided", and none further is needed
GoFish Gopher Server: Oh I am so implementing this for Rubénerd
Three workers in hospital after crane collapse in North Sydney: Yikes O.O
Iconic Australian Clothing Brands & Outdoors Gear | Australian Brands: I love the bush aesthetic. Will own me a pair of RM Williams jeans one day!
ポケモンＧＯの主人公・渋谷凛とハクリュウを描きました。: Epic Idolmaster Cinderella Girls and Pokémon Go crossover!
Why is my git repository so big? - Stack Overflow: `git gc --prune=now --aggressive && git repack` is your friend.
Heavenly ‹ Pictures - MyFigureCollection.net (Tsuki-board.net): One of the best pictures I've seen of my swimsuit Yuki fig :O. Love the colour and balance, if a little too contrasty (is that a term?)
BlackHat USA 2011: SSL And The Future Of Authenticity - YouTube: Eye opening. LetsEncrypt couldn't have come soon enough.
Prolific Drivers | Plugable: For use with the Manhattan USB to Serial adaptors that every data centre jockey must know all too well by now. The official Manattan site has very outdated drivers.
Memory Depot // IDE FDISK // FDISK: One of the only sites still selling IDE SSDs. Would love to buy a pallet of these for using in my Libretto, my MMX tower, PowerMac G3 and old iMacs.
Relax, Hongkongers: time to strip off, close the lid, hit the lights and float away | South China Morning Post: The epsom salts render it even denser than the Dead Sea. Sounds rather tranquil, if a little scary.
Final Cut Pro Media Management Whitepaper: Clarified a few of their terms pretty well. I wonder how many other Apple whitepapers are hidden around the place?
Dialog customization with configuration file - Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial - A Beginner's handbook: Useful reference for dialog initialisation (colours, mostly)
FOOLWIRE: Fool Focus: Iomega Earnings: Another Iomega blast from the past, this time from 1996
Go by Example: If/Else: Relieved to see they went with "if else", not one of the myriad of possible truncations.
User Guide - VyOS: I wish more user guides were written like this. Clear, simple, scenario-based examples.
Build fails on NetBSD · Issue #1334 · sass/node-sass: Running node on NetBSD is possible, albeit with some challenges. I don't want to learn JS, but there are enough platforms written in it now it's kinda unavoidable.
Removable Storage - Dansdata: This is such a beautiful nostalgia trip into 1990s IT. Zip and Jaz drives. ISA busses.
SimCity 3000 manual - replacementdocs: And meanwhile, this is the manual for the PalmOS version of SimCity! So cool. Wish my old roommate hadn't lost my IIIx.
SimCity 3000 Game Manual: It's on Scribd, so you can't just download it alas. Tagging it so when I get an account, I can get everything I want from it post haste. Post haste? What does that even mean?
Ellipses -- The Punctuation Guide: It kills me they use three full stops (. . .) not the ellipses character (…).
'Re: ddb: fatal breakpoint trap in supervisor mode' - MARC: Trying out NetBSD on my Libretto 70CT. Would love to get this working.
The Richest Countries In The World - WorldAtlas.com: I disagree with the premise and much of the text, but the photos they've chosen for each place are fascinating.
Use the Ribbon instead of toolbars and menus - Office Support: So glad Mac enforces a menubar, so there’s an alternative to digging around icons.
DuckDuckGo URL Parameters: I always forget what these are. There are so many customisation options; you can even define measurement units for results, pretty cool.
all hail zettai ryouiki | Tumblr: It's a mathematical constant that continues to elude us.
How to configure an IP address in Solaris 11: All new syntax in 11, threw me a bit.
Our Hatred (Or Love) Of Cilantro May Be Genetic | Business Insider: Corriander is the foulest food of all time!
Home - SCU More Generous Banking: Been itching to get back to a credit union again, and this mob even have a mobile app. Their savings account rates aren't as good as BankWest though.
Carl Orff - O Fortuna ~ Carmina Burana - YouTube: One of the all-time greats.
Lian-Li Global | PC-D666: This case can take *two* motherboards and sets of peripherals. In spirit of reducing my amount of crap, maybe I should shove all my stuff into one box.
Raspberry Pi Expansion Boards for all Raspberry Pi models from the AB Electronics Shop: Definitely the nicest Pi expansion boards, if a bit on the expensive side. It's as if quality is somehow marked by price or something
Aristear Remain: I swear I've seen the art from this somewhere before.
File:F-GSTB - 2 Airbus A.300B4-608ST Beluga Airbus (8634655670).jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: I heard you liked planes, so I put planes in your plane so you can fly while you fly.
HP: We have dethroned Apple in PCs - Hardware - CRN Australia: As much as I'd say they're dreaming, Apple's lack of desktop hardware updates of late hasn't helped their cause. An HP Z Series workstation is far more capable than a more expensive Mac Pro (albeit, with Windows or *nix)
Whitefish, Montana | Official City Website: Even their website is awesome. One day I will go here, mark my words.
Custard Pi 2 - Analogue and digital I/O for the Raspberry Pi: If I don't find a breakout board called a Blackberry Pi next, I'll plotz. Wait, there’s probably legal reasons why they couldn't do that, darn.
Banana Pi - A Highend Single-Board Computer: Banana Pi: It's a Raspberry Pi, but with SATA! You could fashion your own little NAS out of one of these.
uMap: This looks to be a great alternative to Google Maps for planning trips, but I can't seem to get past the Github authentication step.
Amendments to consumer protection laws passed in Parliament - Channel NewsAsia: Some solid and long overdue changes.
TorrentFreak - Paramount Wipes “Infringing” Ubuntu Torrent From Google: The hubris of these people, though still not as spectacular as the producers of "You wouldn't steal a car..." using stolen music.
Is there an alternative to MailChimp and Campaign Monitor that is based in Canada? - Quora: Third answer: "1. GetResponse 2. CampaignMonitor". This is social media in 2016 in a nutshell.
Check if a program exists from a Bash script - Stack Overflow: I keep coming back to `command -v foo >/dev/null 2>&1` for portability
App::cpanminus – a new CPAN installer – Jochen.Hayek.name/wp/blog-en: Trying in conjunction with Perlbrew
Managing Perl environments with perlbrew | End Point Blog: Pretty solid introduction to rolling your own Perl environments. Totes going to be using this everywhere
Fractal Design - XL R2: A more conventional tower case that still has space for 8 drives.
Domain Registrations & Transfers | Net Virtue: Am tired of paying foreign transaction fees for all my existing domain registrars. Time to look local, these folks seem to have positive reviews on Whingepool
mirrorshades - A Return to Form: FreeBSD as a desktop OS. This guy is after my heart
Lian-Li Global | PC-D8000: That is a MONSTER of a server case. 20 desktop hard drives. Money would probably be better spent on larger drives to replace the ones in my microservers, but consolidating them all into here is mighty tempting.
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC & More - Acela Express | Amtrak: It's not a "high speed train" in a global sense, but still really excited to travel on it between Philly, NYC and Boston. I heart trains
Exit and Exit Status: I’ve been writing scripts for a decade, and only just learned of "$?". Always return the right error codes in your scripts
FireHOL, Adding new services to FireHOL.: I always forget the syntax for custom ports
When Flying was Fun: Elegant Lower Level Lounges on Lockheed TriStars: So 70s! And can you imagine a plane having one of these now? I think the A380 was billed as having one originally, before operators decided to cram more sardines
The PSA History Page: So many amazing photos and advertisements from the 1970s, including the L-1011 lounge that I didn't even know existed
Jaz-drive HOWTO: Booting from a Jaz Cartridge: Yes, I was looking to see if this was possible. 2GB would be plenty for an old nostalgia machine
Building an RSS Reader in Rails Is Easy: Interesting idea, if my RSS to NNTP relay sits there never finished
Rin's Magical Thighs: Best name for a Tumblr ever
Frequently Asked Questions about OneNote 2016 for Mac - OneNote for Mac: Their answer about offline access is a dodge. Very disappointing, OneNote was the first Microsoft application that genuinely interested me in years.
Create a bootable Windows Server 2012 R2 installation USB flash drive | blksthl: This works, but how I long for a simple dd command like Linux/BSD, or a one line Terminal command for OS X/macOS.
libguestfs, library for accessing and modifying VM disk images: It can open VMware and Hyper-V, it can slice and dice!
Oracle: Clustering Best Practices: Some useful general information

2016-01

sshkey/sshkey.rb at master · bensie/sshkey · GitHub: Library only supports DSA and RSA, not elliptic curve (ECDSA). Darn.
ZCM Services - Octek Motherboards: Octek's Socket 7 motherboard range from the late 1990s
