PoLS back at you. 

> (if you search YT for mlpol ... there are indeed results. I am officially amused)
I have had this several times with pony, with things I didn't expect. From minor forgotten chans to obscure webcomics. I get the feeling.

PoLS, hopefully next time I'm here I'll have something to post. Working on a lot of minor projects most of which don't have relevance but I might blog about on here or /chat/.
> M93p Thinkcentre, flashing a modded coreboot image, note, never done this, don't know how far I'll get. I have a really specific use case. 
> Raspberry Pi camera to monitor activity in the alley using an old webcam. 
> Installed GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6a. It is pretty cool.
< Too bad the project has a lot of drama.
> This vague idea of a /go/ related archiver thing that I mentioned in /culture/ way back when. 
Most of these projects are done at a whim and we shall see how far they go or if I have anything interesting to report. /go/ did have tech as a secondary topic, but /chat/ and here is where random stuff was usually posted. Speaking of /go/. I have wanted to dump everything I consider important, even if I can't do much /go/wise right now. I might have a few things others didn't get. I have been horribly disorganized from moving (slowly) and partly between houses! 

I am doing okay health wise, not 100% but 70% or 80%, which is way better than even a few months ago. That is the one bright spot., just a lot of IRL stuff. Oh, and moderately stressed on the Iran War, not that I want this to decent into /pol/tard vs libtard interventionist fighting.

There is something /comfy/ about posting on a chan during stressful times. At least when it is done right. So, while making no commitments, I am going to try to post more regularly. For the 2 to 5 regulars that I know of (and sometimes weirdly more that will show up once or twice at random times who I know less on) here, no pressure on y'all. I am just posting in a somewhat  more laid back manner like I used to do as opposed to my roll as a more distant chaperone of various threads that I feel like I have been kind of defacto doing outside of our Sync Rewatch Thread. 

Hope to do the Season 2 thread soon!

In the meantime, goodnight and God bless y'all!

That is actually half decent spec'd machines. Very unusual considering what I know of you. If you're not careful you might end up with something that is actually powerful and not a beaten up laptop being held together with duct tape. There is sometimes half decent tech discussion hangouts on /mlp/ and you might consider posting some of your efforts there.

> I have a really specific use case. 

What situation would come up where would flashing a custom coreboot would be advantageous? Sounds painful unless you enjoy that kind of thing and even a poorfag could probably scrape together something better and simpler than whatever you're trying to do.

> monarchy:the system of having a king or queen
Sorry m8, but we cannot afford to run a tetrarchy. Disney´s stigma (and its alleged copyright of princesses) of queens has ruined Hasbro´s will of assigning them as queen because otherwise, we would have evil characters in power.

Fortunately enough, Gameloft Chrysalis, Novo, Haven and Kirinlestia (aka Rain Shine) could fill up their vacancies for their roles instead. 

>  We are not going to crash, we are going to fly into the heavens!

Well, let´s check:
-Both Luna and Celestia are retired, traveling through the world as tourists and sunbathing and swimming on the beach as their daily routine these days.

-Cadance is on maternity leave with Flurry Heart´s care...and also calling and trying her luck on several insurance companies so that she can get a cheaper fee from the losses that her daughter often causes in the Crystal Empire.

-And Twilight...well, she is blaming Sunny Starscout for not inheriting her lessons properly. I guess that becoming a background pony as a protagonist has its diminishing returns. Thus,she is focusing more on her flawed teaching methods than sticking with her past duties. 

So, rather than heavens, I´d say that we are more likely to end up in Cloudsdale. Not only is it safer to reach and land but also because we would have to rely on Rainbow Crash to carry us...and her landing looks more faulty than Boeing airplanes.

Not a good move to pick up these days...

Equestria had a tetrarchy (or maybe 1 or 2 ruling Princess, 1 to 2 Junior Princesses, and a vassal who may have also had the title of empress; I THINK WE HAD A TETRACHY. 

> -Both Luna and Celestia are retired, traveling through the world as tourists and sunbathing and swimming on the beach as their daily routine these days.
They retired not of age, but of boredom or stress, perfectly fit and capable. 

>  ..and also calling and trying her luck on several insurance companies so that she can get a cheaper fee from the losses that her daughter often causes in the Crystal Empire.
Flurry Heart will be able to be used as a weapon in a decade and a half at earliest, pays off. 

>  -And Twilight...well, she is blaming Sunny Starscout for not inheriting her lessons properly. I guess that becoming a background pony as a protagonist has its diminishing returns. Thus,she is focusing more on her flawed teaching methods than sticking with her past duties. 
Yeah, in the maintime Twilight is an abject failure, I'll grant you that. BUT THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO AVERT THE TIMELINE, FLY PAST THE STARS AND KILL COSMOS. PRINCESS! PRINCESS! PRINCESS!

> Fortunately enough, Gameloft Chrysalis, Novo, Haven and Kirinlestia (aka Rain Shine) could fill up their vacancies for their roles instead. 
The one good idea you have had so far.Maybe we need TWO TETRARCHIES instead of ONE?!
 >>/12552/
> That is actually half decent spec'd machines. Very unusual considering what I know of you.
Yeah, it is a long way from a couple of years ago when I just was posting from a pair of decade and a half year old laptops. Though truth be told, my access to good tech has always been more unstable than completely bad. I had a T470 at that time as well, it was just, on loan because of a family member having computer troubles. 

>  on /mlp/ and you might consider posting some of your efforts there.
I might if it is comfy enough. /mlp/ discussion, save for a general or two, isn't my cup of tea but I am not hyper partisan against their way of things. 

 >>/12561/
> Sounds painful unless you enjoy that kind of thing and even a poorfag could probably scrape together something better and simpler than whatever you're trying to do.
I have a M93p machine I acquired cheaply. The low power Xeons that would be easier on that machine are a bit expensive (not terribly though, but I am stingy) and harder to find. Normal Xeons that fit and work in the socket are as cheap as $5 despite being as powerful as i7s from the era (a combination of the marketing of the i7 and those Xeons dumped by corporate users and not being in high demand). They will supposedly boot with a powerful enough power supply but I want to run said Xeon under a restricted thermal profile something I can't do from the native BIOS of the M93p but can from coreboot, albeit I believe it is setting it in the flashing of the firmware and I can't adjust it afterwards. There maybe other stuff I  will try too, if I get around to it. I think with RAM prices and potential power price increases it might be an ideal set up for a server of sorts that I want to have running 24/7.

three´s already a crowd though. Don´t get carried away or we may have a mafia infighting amongst the alleged rulers. 

We have barely made it through the war between the 45 degree set square and the 90 degree one...and I don´t believe that the castle has enough columns to withstand a XL size laser fight.

>  Equestria had a tetrarchy (or maybe 1 or 2 ruling Princess, 1 to 2 Junior Princesses, and a vassal who may have also had the title of empress; I THINK WE HAD A TETRACHY.

< implying tetrarchy
so, about releasing the files where Cadance qualifies as a queen when? How is a princess´ mother still a princess? Does this mean that the queen was Amore spiritually speaking(and even then, she was assigned as a princess as well)?

I suppose that this logic of coping this system runs at this point with the meme logic of:

1% chance, 99% faith. 

>  They retired not of age, but of boredom or stress, perfectly fit and capable.

I dunno. Maybe Twilight changed the principles of setting an age of retirement after a thousand years. Even deities get bored and become complacent, you know? Considering that Celly put more passion on cakes and Luna on pranks/Nightmare Night, I´d say that their Daybreaker/Nightmare Moon counterparts would reflect their lust for power and their current versions ain´t fit for that position.

>  Flurry Heart will be able to be used as a weapon in a decade and a half at earliest, pays off.

ah yes, the eternal debt trap. Maybe Cadance will change the bits currency for love in order to weave through that burden. She´s still unable to show up for this year´s edition though.

> THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO AVERT THE TIMELINE, FLY PAST THE STARS AND KILL COSMOS.

Considering that it´s rainy today, I doubt that the stars will remotely aid her tonight. Maybe Flurry will start counting them for us in her dreams...

[meme]FRIENDSHIP[/MEME] is the secret weapon here to avert this.

Cadance is called a princess and the polity is called an empire, it is a reasonable assumption to assume that the title empress may exist in some form. 

It's about taking things at complete face value various reasonable logical inferences, so it's...
5% chance, way different!

> Considering that Celly put more passion on cakes and Luna on pranks/Nightmare Night, I´d say that their Daybreaker/Nightmare Moon counterparts would reflect their lust for power and their current versions ain´t fit for that position.
It actually makes them perfect because they don't desire power!

> ah yes, the eternal debt trap. Maybe Cadance will change the bits currency for love in order to weave through that burden.
Just one city being hit by a hurricane for a few years ain't the same as enteral debt, completely manageable (if Equestria pays for it.)

> Maybe Flurry will start counting them for us in her dreams...
..and maybe they will speak back!

PRINCESS! PRINCESS! PRINCESS!!

Purposefully thermal throttling a Xeon feels like an oxymoron. I guess if that computer is what you have and  you don't want to upgrade the cooler I can see it but it feels like you could get something that would make more sense than that.

I just don't think about it. 

Death and life are relative terms,given that it doesn't have to become a state of the art board,with cutting edge relevance.

I guess that the black and white mindset of 4chan's obsession with activity has spoilt us all...
Alrighty, this April Fools is over for now. Happy Easter everypony who celebrates. Hope you enjoy your chocolates and remember who died for us all. If by popular demand people want me to turn this theme back on, I will, but I figure that this hot pink that I stole from >>>/mlp/ (which I made, by stealing from someplace elsewhere a long time ago) could still use a little work before full time deployment like the Nightmare Moon CSS theme I put out every so often. 

 >>/12590/
Thanks! It's true... 

 >>/12591/
Also true! /endpone/ at it's liveliest is still pretty dead by their standards. We are alive not by activity, but by the fact that we have continued on for quite some time now and have our own culture and memes.
PoLS Internet has been acting up. Currently have images disabled. Seems to be local to my ISP right now. I also have been trying a new web browser. More details on that later, lol.

Storytime:

The router provided by the cable company was malfunctioning and wouldn't maintain a wifi Network connection for more two or three minuets and sometimes would only work for some websites partly while mostly not working. At first, I thought this was some sort of outage with the cable company as that had happened earlier this year, twice, BUT:
> It was out completely for a day
> Then came back for a day
> Then had the weird intermittency described above for 2 days
I plugged my laptop into the modem and that still had a good connection. So, after a night of messing with the cable router, I just gave up and set my laptop as a wifi hotspot with a more restricted firewall and called it a night.
> Next day, messed with it, but couldn't get it to work, my laptop was once again pressed into service. 
> Next day, tested it on one of the other cable connections in the house, it worked fine, while doing this spend my free time setting up the aforementioned M93p into being a back router, so I could go back to my normal business on my laptop. 
> The day after a storm hit and the router started to malfunction like before after it passed
This makes me suspect, based on my reading, that it might be something wrong with the cable wiring. Apparently routers such as those can be more sensitive to PC network cards. 
> I put my M93p into service as the family router
> It only partly works, a single antenna I guess can't handle many connection as the laptop antenna
> By the next day, my mother's, brother's phones won't connect to it, so...
> Laptop was pressed into service once more
Finally, after screwing around with different other set ups or tinkering with the cable router, I remembered a WRT 1900 ACS existed and was in storage...
> Flashed OpenWRT on it
> It works almost perfectly, save for one bug involving it randomly having a 3rd wifi network I'm still trying to figure out. 

Anyways, this is what I had been dealing with for a week and a half. I could have built a propper PC router. The M93p might have worked with a different WiFi dongle then what I tired the M93p I had a damaged WiFi antenna and I had pulled the WiFi card out of it because of my aforementioned server project, but my mindset was: stopgap for a day. It wasn't that was the only thing I was doing, but it did take up a lot of my free time and disrupt some things. I am doing okay I can't complain overall.

Thank you for informing us. Something about site maintenance  always makes me slightly fearful for obvious reasons but I trust you guys to have it running eventually. Honestly though, I can't complain too hard Endchan has been often largely functional for 10 years? That is an amazing track record for an alt alt chan. Just don't accidentally delete our images :)

Hey, would anypony be interested in a play-by-post game of Ponyfinder-classic (PF1 rules ... mostly) over on MLPol?

They had a DnD-3.5 game going but their GM, clearly suffering from asbergers, had one implosion too many and the game seems to have died.

My game would be based on the same story as facilitated the 'horror-pone' story posted elsewhere on this board, so you have some idea what you'd be getting into.

I'm not currently employed and am trying to fix that, so I have no strong reason to believe any game I start won't implode for my lack of screen time someday soon, but I want to try anyway.
 >>/12619/
I have never played tabletop, play by post or otherwise, and I'll admit that /mlpol/ is a place I am more than a little squeamish. 

>  I'm not currently employed and am trying to fix that, so I have no strong reason to believe any game I start won't implode for my lack of screen time someday soon
Screen time would also be a concern, considering how my life bounces around. Though, I might have a peak and render assistance if I could passively. Not 100% saying no, but very non-committal ATM. 

> My game would be based on the same story as facilitated the 'horror-pone' story posted elsewhere on this board
The most recent one? That would interest me.

I suppose one could set up a cyclic for dice rolls, but that maybe tedious, or use a simpler RP system.  My potential issues with participation aside PM sent on that, I have no problem you trying an RP game on here if you decided against /mlpol/. If it was successful and you needed a lot of threads >>>/mlp/ might be a good idea. I own this board and had always wanted to clean it up and turn it into a wiki/repository/lists of things place but have never gotten around to it.
 >>/12635/

That honestly would make the most sense.
That thread might have a player, but I think probably doesn't, just a tire-kicker.
