    Edit to be more informative

    It's :.|:; with a 'strikethrough' through the whole thing.

    So — Colon, Period, Vertical Bar, Colon, Semi-Colon and then a 'strikethrough' (idk if it depends on your lemmy app, but mine uses 2 tildes (~) on each side of whatever you're striking through like so)

    What's your radical opinion?
  • Possibly. I've eaten fried-brim-tail and it was pretty much like a seafood potato chip (just be careful of tiny bones). I could see getting down with some crunchy shrimp tails. Maybe my body is just craving some fiber (and/or fiber-like) sustenance, but I can see the merit. Hell, if it's edible and tasty, then I'm 'bout it. Maybe it's a texture thing?

  • Anon misses something
  • I don't have the same issues, but I get it. And yes, I don't "need to read" the subtitles, but I enjoy the clarification lol

    I was a "toe-walker" as a kid, some tics I had to overcome, mild prosopagnosia, adhd stuff vs autistic traits, the audio processing issues... all kinda leaving me with a bunch of social anxiety because I can't always recognize or get to know people (who clearly remember me). I have to constantly play it off as being "aloof" or "head in the clouds". But truly, I just have delays in a few areas and can't always keep up with what's being presented. And the worse it is, the worse my anxiety becomes, leading to a cyclical issue. It's exhausting trying to "keep-up" sometimes

    But ya know... fuck it. Just being aware has helped some. I still live a constantly awkward social life, but it's just how I am. I've accepted a lot of it and have learned to (mostly) appreciate my "quirks", and just be the best me that I can manage.

    It's not so much that I'm autistic, but more so that I'm simply me.

    Edit: I still don't really hear lyrics either, even with treatment. The voice is just another instrument to me (almost like a bass or a drum)...but I kinda like it, because I can always look the lyrics up and clarify... if the song slaps (aka, I'm obsessed). Every day is a new adventure lol

  • That's a keen observation (whether true or not). It took me a long time to realize I wasn't "hard-of-hearing"... I just couldn't always figure out what was being said (literally having difficulty processing it). So I enjoy subtitles, to say the least

    But still, very astute of you

  • Deficiencies
  • "Magnesium Glycinate" is the one I choose for daily use. Magnesium Citrate is great at getting those Mg levels up initially; but for daily maintenance, I prefer the glycinate version. They kinda have their own use-cases imo

  • Pick your seat, Lemmy
  • Seat #7

    I could probably find some kind of entertainment-value by talking to Hulk Hogan about "wrestling" or his career. The turtle will probably just sleep, or remain frozen in a transient-stroke-like state. Seems like the easiest.

    In reality, it wouldn't really matter which seat I chose. I always go right tf to sleep on planes; because no, I don't want to talk with you, stranger

    Though... maybe not next to Vance. I don't want him getting any weird ideas about my seat, if I were to get up to use the bathroom

  • ADHD Rule
  • Ritalin was the worst one for me; gave me headaches and was a little too "unstable" or "rough" for me. Elvanse, on the other hand, has been my favorite... smooth as butter. Thinking about switching now that they have a generic version that my insurance will probably cover

  • perfectionist mindset - as one is writing,

    I think an "M-Dash (perfectionist mindest— as one is writing,)" would be more appropriate than an "N-Dash" in your statement. No 'nested' parentheses needed (unless you're looking to add non-essential (though insightful) info to your sentence); but the type of... "PAUSE" makes all the difference

    If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can

    A little extra traffic will go to reddit... but fuck them. They're taking monetary value away from your account, so ya might as well use the coins you have as you see fit (while you still can). Fuck u/spez and fuck reddit

    Ugliest tsop I ever did solder

    This was about 4 years ago... but it worked, and I only needed it to work once!

    Original Xbox @lemmy.world MrShankles @reddthat.com

    Finally got the TSOP Flash done. Let me take you on my journey from hopelessness to victory!

    This was a post I made 4 years ago on the OGXbox subreddit. I miss our little community, so hopefully they'll find this place. I may as well add a little content to try and start things off. So about 4 years ago...

    "It all started with me wanting an emulator and realising my old xbox was just gathering dust anyways. So it began.

    Figured out my xbox version, already had splinter cell, got a usb to controller port adapter, set my well studied plan into action. It was all supposed to be relatively painless. That was 6 months ago...what a fool I was.

    I soldered my points in preperation for a TSOP flash as that was my endgame mod. Ready to go, I went ahead and soft modded. Now I should haved nulled my eeprom, but at the time I didn't realize it would null the motherboard as well and not just the HDD, so I instead went to save my eeprom file safely away. It was probably lucky that I chose that route (I guess) because as I tried to solve network errors and get my eeprom file saved to my pc, it happened; my worst fear...the system froze, I restarted and nothing was working. My fucking HDD failed. So I guess lucky it didn't fail midway, trying to null the eeprom, but it failed and my eeprom file was lost. Fuck me, right?

    But I'm determined now. I figure out how to make an eeprom reader...my soldering skills have now gone from never having done it before, to making hardware to read the eeprom off my motherboard. I can't lie, I really impressed myself when I actually recovered the file. So now to rebuild an HDD.

    But I can't get an IDE HDD that doesn't come dead on arrival. I probably ordered and returned 5 of them before looking up a lockable SATA. So my new HDD finally writes properly, I have a SATA to IDE converter(?), new IDE cable, ready to try again. At this point, you're probably thinking, "why not just use a mod chip and be done with it?". I'll tell you why; pride. I didn't want a mod chip, I had a 1.0 version with a perfectly rewritable TSOP already, and damnit, I was gonna rewrite that bitch if it killed me.

    Ready to try again, I start it up with more hope than I should've allowed myself. And what do I see on the screen now? Error 11. Now I feel defeated. Is it the new IDE cable? The converter? Am I so unlucky that my disc drive has now spontaneously failed too? I try switching cables, putting the old HDD back in just to see if I can get an error 7 again, but now it's just 11 over and over again. I give up.

    Fastforward to last week, my friend gave me his old xbox to try again. It's a version 1.0 as well, but I go in with shielded hopes. I solder my points, softmod, null the eeprom this time (just in case, cause I don't have a working desktop for my eeprom reader anymore), and boot my Hexen disc. Go to flash the TSOP...and it works! Praise the gods, it works!

    Now I can have more fun: -build a new HDD (that doesn't have to be locked, you piece of shit failing HDD that started all of my problems!) -Reset my friends HDD to factory with my first xbox eeprom file and try to flash that one as well or at least diagnose what has failed me -Enjoy at least one xbox that is safe from HDD/disc drive failures and start exploring all the new possibilities.

    TL;DR - Lost my eeprom file while trying to mod, which set forth an adventure of despair and hoplessness, before finally succeeding.

    Special thanks to the community for teaching me everything I know! Y'all are amazing"

    Is the comment exploit still a vulnerability?

    Has reddthat.com had any issues with the recent hacks/exploit that some larger instances have dealt with? Were there any precautions that had to be made like rotating the jwt's and hiding the exploit (I don't have a lot of technical knowledge on the subject, so hopefully I'm making sense)? Are we waiting for lemmy devs to make a permanent fix, or is this already happening and I'm just behind on the times? Or does this not affect our instance due to the software version being upgraded? Just curious about if the security breach is something that can be widespread, or if it has already been mitigated around here. Thanks for all that you do for us regardless, I've really enjoyed calling reddthat my new home!
