But lemmy.world shows me many errors if I open DevTools… Hope this failures get resolved soon. Had to create another account on another instance to use lemmy

The train is using a week counter internally that overflowed. 17.11.2003 is exactly 1024 (2^(10)) weeks ago.

Damn you’re good

Little8Lost ,

Ever heard of the 2048 bug? If no i suggest taking a look at the wikipedia page. I think it is a fun read

guy_threepwood ,

2038! I develop embedded systems and we’ve been testing for this for years now. There’s also a similar 2036 GPS bug

ArrogantAnalyst ,

You mean the Year 2038 problem?

Little8Lost ,

yes... i feel dumb for that typo

Tschuuuls ,

But this would mean the epoch here would be the 2 April 1984 or maybe the 1st, if you respect the time as well, which sounds a tiny bit random lol. But so would be to use a week counter in the first place :D Especially since those trains are from the early 2000s.

EDIT: Other times in 2003 are also possible apparently https://twitter.com/TAltgeld/status/1646386165006716928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1646386165006716928%7Ctwgr%5E99a8805bbdf28d116a3a7037dc24347da978e819%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kreiszeitung.de%2Flokales%2Fbremen%2Fsorgt-fuer-spott-im-netz-geniale-loesung-der-db-der-zug-aus-der-vergangenheit-92212981.html

relevants ,

How did you get to that epoch? I haven't seen any images of this happening earlier than 2003, so the overflow must have happened late last year or early this year, and whatever week 0 is is some time around 2002/2003. That would also fit with your comment that they were introduced in the early 2000s.

Maybe they just didn't expect the trains to last 20 years 😄

Tschuuuls ,

undefined> 20 y

Well, I did shown_date-1024 weeks=epoch. Your explanation sounds correct, though.

The only thing is, I've seen 2003 date before 2023 in random trains. Could also be a weird glitch when time sync fails or something.

relevants ,

It could be that the epoch is the start of 2003, so any train with a reset week counter shows 2003, and now they all do since the counter has overflowed late last year.

The fact that they use a week counter in general is something I remember from someone familiar with the onboard computer system, but I don't remember how it's set up specifically unfortunately.

Yesterday was a really busy day for me so I’ve just been taking it easy today. I did get some new tights though, that’s always good.

Lemmy's gonna have some apps, but I can't wait until Kbin has an app too! Been really liking this so far.

Hoping for rain between the hours of 7pm to midnight. For context, we’ve been breathing in the smoke from the Canadian wildfires for weeks now.

Redhotkurt , to retrogaming in RG35XX - This is amazing!
@Redhotkurt@kbin.social avatar

I'm so out of the loop, this is blowing my mind. I'm looking at the site @FriendOfFalcons linked (https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xx), wow. Specs look pretty good, this emulator should easily run any PS1, GBA, Neo Geo game. Hahah what, Neo Geo? There's a blast from the past.

I can't find any info on what Linux distro it ships with, does this thing work out of the box or do you have to install the OS? I presume you supply the ROMs? Holy crap, and they have beefier handhelds that support later-gen platforms. This is awesome.

@id_kai@kbin.social avatar

You can play it directly out of the box, but there are custom OS's out there that run things even better and add more features. You do supply the ROMs, but there are plenty of ROM packs out there too to make your life easier. I honestly recommend looking into RetroGameCorps on Youtube, he has some great content around these types of devices.

If you get the RG35XX specifically, I'd recommend this guide.

Redhotkurt ,
@Redhotkurt@kbin.social avatar

Ah ok, I should've figured there'd be custom OS's involved, that's awesome. Thx, I'll check out RetroGameCorps. And thanks for the starter guide link, looks super helpful.

Ggtfmhy ,

I’m sorry if this goes against some instance/community rule and if so please just tell me - but where does one find reliable ROM packs? I only ever used EmuParadise back in the day (as I still do - but don’t tell anyone!)

vivia , to nostupidquestions in What are you doing today on July 4th?

Well, it’s a Tuesday so that means I can get fresh fish in my local street market. Nothing much going on otherwise.

Congrats Lemmy.world!

I originally was using an account at .world but it started to get really slow under the stress of all the new users.

So I’ve since switched (to lemmy.ca) and it’s been really nice. However, when I look at this thread from my .world account I can see a lot more comments. I know there are issues with syncing between instances and so I’d prefer to use .world if/when it is more stable. This way I can avoid the syncing issues mostly.

In any case I’m happy for Lemmy. I have multiple accounts and will use them whenever necessary. I wish there was something that could sync community lists between accounts. It was a bit of a chore to sync my community subscriptions for my accounts.

I currently have his wife's name in my f$%*ing mouth, I'm sitting here waiting to get the shit slapped outta me.

It’s only a holiday in the US. Just a normal day for me

Nothing special. It's a regular day in my not-US country. Maybe celebrate the only day the US doesn't mangle the date?
