Sweet! Had another good game in Overwatch, this time as Widowmaker on Hanamura. While holding the point, I saw my teammate Zenyatta fighting an enemy player to the left of the point. I went to assist and we chased the enemy character upstairs to the second floor. Zen killed them and that is where the my Widowmaker Play of the Game clip starts. Lucio tried to run past the doorway and I picked him off. Then Symmetra tried to come in but only managed to get a turret down. I took out the turret and got my ultimate which I quickly hit and saw the enemy Tracer getting ready to make a move. As soon as she entered the doorway, I snapped off a quick headshot. Then I headed back to the point and we won the round. GG!
I was thinking earlier how much I play Overwatch and how I use to play Team Fortress 2 all the time and how I thought that was the best game ever but then I burned out on it and that made me sad but Overwatch is here now and kind of the same game idea. I wonder if I will eventually burn out on Overwatch as well and what will the game look that replaces it. Sure, Overwatch 2 is coming but that is going to be player versus bots similar to the events Blizzard runs during the events and would I play those if they were all that there was. Probably not. The limited time those game modes are available is what keeps them enjoyable. If they were unlocked all the time, I probably wouldn't play them. Add to that, the characters are supposed to be getting an upgrade but I found this original Overwatch versus Overwatch 2 character comparison on the official Overwatch 2 site and the characters in 2 look like they have baggier, less detailed clothes.
Speaking of Overwatch, I had a pretty good go as Doomfist last night in Mystery Heroes where every time you spawn, you spawn as a new character and you never get to choose your character. Here is the Doomfist Play of the Game. Could have been better if I had not tried to take out the angry Swede at the end. We were trying to take the second checkpoint on Route 66 and I had just died and respawned as Doomfist and was on my way back to the payload when I took a back route and came out behind the enemy team wiping out my team. We had just gone into overtime and Bastion was too far back to hold the point. I did a `Rocket Punch` to get to the payload faster killing Baby D.Va (D.Va when she is out of her mech) and knocking Soldier 76 around the front of the payload. I switched my attention to Junkrat at the back of the payload where the video starts. Our Genji just went down and Tracer was running to her death at the hands of Soldier. Pharah was there as well but must have been too far from the payload or died shortly after I started fighting Junkrat to keep the round alive. I launched a `Seismic Slam` that I turned 90° between the charge and slam (Nice! Go me!) taking down Junkrat then shot Soldier a few times with my `Hand Cannon` before delivering a crushing `Rising Uppercut`. But then I got too greedy and went for Torbjorn when I should have stayed behind the payload. Torbjorn killed me, Bastion killed Torbjorn. Nobody from either team was on the payload so we lost. If I had just stayed back a split second longer, we would have taken the point and may have won the game.
Had a pretty good run with Sombra earlier in the round too. Have to remember to stash the teleporter somewhere safe before getting into a gun fight.
How to make a password protected zip file in Linux. Since Windows 10 doesn't seem to have any way to do it, I need to keep a record of how to do this because I had to use it again a couple of times in the last two months and luckily it was in my history in Linux so I was able to go back to it.
- Upload all of your files you need to zip to a folder in your home directory on the server.
- Open Putty and
cdinto the folder where your files are. Note the folder will be included in the zip so make it something that clearly states what the contents of the zip are. - Type
zip -e name_of_zip_file.zip *. - You will be prompted to enter a password and then re-enter it a second time.
- Your zip file is created. Copy it back to your desktop and try to open it and test your password works before sending it.
Ant Design Table Page Size Picker doesn't have the `/ page` label. I ran into this problem today and it took me most of the day cutting and pasting code trying to resolve before I figured out, it was the array I was using to set the Page Size Picker. The metadata api sent an array of numbers but the table expected an array of strings. To fix, update your array with map.
const apiPageSizePicker = [15, 25, 50, 100];
pageSizePicker = apiPageSizePicker.map(String);
Sweet! Found my Chromecast Audio in a box of LaserDisc movies while looking for an old router I used as an extender for my Squeezebox a couple of years ago. It's all set up again on the tuner so I can listen to music other than on the Squeezebox if I feel the need.
In other news, I think I finally fixed the issues ChickP was having with his Squeezebox Duet disconnecting from the network. After many attempts over a couple of years after he replaced his previous two routers, the connection has stayed working for almost 24 hours.
I have one last bug in the process of being resolved on my big project at work. Fingers crossed no more issues are found and the update can be launched to the public. There are some extra features to be added but they are not required for the first release so that gives me some time to work on them but getting what I have required a ton of overtime that is hopefully over now.
The Epic Games Store has a free version of Trackmania on their homepage. The DOH! Network ran Trackmania Nations a number of years ago and it was the most successful hosted game on the server with ~20 players at the same time from all over the world until the game stopped broadcast servers. It was something with the ad servers being turned off if I remember correctly. This new version has some new upgrades like ice tracks that make it extremely hard to turn without letting off the gas which could cost you those few seconds ahead of the car right behind you and a new hover mode that will mess you up when the track switches to a vertical wall turn. I managed to get a few good times to get me in the top 500 and even one finish in 109th in thje world. Will have to see if I can't match that again or if it was just a lucky run.
Had to remove the DOH! Network E-Cards from the site because it looks like port 25 is not open on the current internet provider's service.
I think I screwed up and donated my Chromecast Audio to one of these e-waste recycling events. It ended up in a box somewhere but I have not been able to find that box if it is still here. You would think I would have kept it with my Squeezebox which I did find but still no luck finding it.
