Ocarina airway the width of a popsicle stick

Ocarina airway the width of a popsicle stick

#anythingbutmetric

Was reading how to make a wooden #ocarina out of curiosity and boredom, and I think the airway should be 1 cm? Seen popsicle sticks vary from 1 to 3 cm so far, including from a specific brand with varying widths in a same stick, and I don't see how more space would fit the mouthpiece.

Still, every other measure so far used a standardized unit, usually in inches and the sort, so the "Popsicle stick" unit caught me by surprise. e.e"

Nintendo's RSS feeds across regions

Nintendo's RSS feeds across regions

Thanks to a comment in the Datahoarder community, I learned the UK site has a #RSS feed, so curious, I tried to dig if other regions also have.

First, the sites from #Nintendo I found that do have #RSSfeeds:

And also UK from the comment:

Also found an old article on the Wayback Machine mentioning a feed for the US site, the latest working snapshot being from 2007, but the links mentioned have since been discontinued:

None of the other regional variants seem to have feeds, though.

Also I think I'll have to create a new group in the list of feeds I know. That's more variants than Steam's. 🥲

isitdown·Is this Instance Down?byAuster

Pawoo.net down since August 5

MTL of the attached post:

It will not continue to connect to Pawoo. The deadline for notifications on mastdn.jp has been extended to August 17th.
When accessing in Google Chrome, DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN is displayed, so I think that the name resolution of the domain is not working well.

“From August 5th, at 4:49am, pawoo has been having a server failure, and we are currently unable to use the service.”


Additionally, before finding the post, I tested on 3 instances I have accounts on, checked 5 "is it down"-style sites, and poked some online AI, and in no cases the instance was reachable either, so can confirm on my side.

"IGS Classic Arcade Collection" on Steam comes with ROMs!

I wasn't able to open theglad.zip or dmnfrnt.zip either on MAME v0.287 or the embedded archive manager from the Dolphin file manager, but all other #ROMs opened fine! Also comes with the #NeoGeo BIOS, if you don't have it already. 🙂

About having an "up to date" mod on the PSP

About having an "up to date" mod on the PSP

Saw this post on Reddit and it got me thinking, the #PSP being as old as it is, and its #consolemods generally being quite old too, if the mod a console has is seemingly stable and the firmware is on 6.60/6.61, it should be as up to date as it needs to be, no? Unless I suppose the user wants to run some newer homebrew or plugin that demands a certain mod, though in such cases, I'd imagine the author of the mod will leave a warning, similar to what Vita homebrew devs usually do.
