Catching up while waiting for my Sunday dinner

Updated SYnology Firmware and resting.

Good morning everyone! Had a busy night around here.

Obsolesce

Doing some Google searching to see when Fedora 27 will update to the new Linux kernel 4.14.... anyone know?

I don't think that typically Fedora updates kernels between releases, do they? I wouldn't expect it till Fedora 28 releases.

No idea... maybe not major versions that I can remember. But I have seen smaller updates.

I think 4.12 to 4.13 during F26 lifespan.

Memory is a little foggy, though, so I can't say for sure.

But F28 is a while away... that sucks if I have to wait

Looks like they are testing kernel 4.15 on Fedora 28.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel Looks like 4.14 will come in the next.

That's what I've been expecting.

Getting some time in with Skyrim while the house is quiet.

EddieJennings

I've enjoyed a weekend of downtime with some Everquest. Feel like I haven't "let loose" in a while.

AdamF

Maxing out my internet connection at home.

Downloading Fedora 27
Updating all of my home lab VMs
Streaming kids shows on an iPad
Streaming football on CBS all access
Streaming some other show my wife is watching.

My 30 mbps connection is full. CPU usage on my ERL keeps jumping from 25% to 70% Never noticed that before.

RPGs have never really been my thing.

It says "open world action" RPG, so maybe that makes all the difference? No idea, what's it like?

Skyrim is more of an action game. Not a traditional RPG like icewind Dale or something.

hobbit666

Playing with a Citrix VM that reverts back every time you reboot.
Looks like its a Bug so doing some offline reg hacks to fix so I can update the software

scottalanmiller

Starting another week.

Skyrim is the industry reference for ARPG these days. The action is low, though, it's not like it is action oriented, it's almost just real time rather than action.
