"description":"I continue to make progress on my new social publishing site, The Emu Café Social. I have two outstanding issues:\nStatus post error when Friends plugin is enabled and Post Kinds is disabled. This is not an immediate issue since I am using both, but any situation wherein one plugin depends on another when the plugins provide different features makes me uncomfortable.\nMicropub plugin does not create an endpoint. This is minor since I do not personally plan to publish much using the Micropub endpoint, but it bothers me. I will need to investigate since I am unsure of the issue. I confirmed IndieAuth, on which Micropub depends, does work.\nNo other major issues at the moment. My ActivityPub profiles briefly stopped working, but I think I fixed that by ensuring that WP Super Cache does not cache author pages.\n#emucafesocial #wordpress #IndieWeb",

"description":"I had a minor screen tearing issue on an old netbook (I do not know the exact year but the Windows 8 sticker suggests that it is old) running Bodhi Linux 7.0. A Bodhi forum post led me to a 2018 guide for fixing screen tearing on devices with integrated Intel graphics on a site dedicated to Ubuntu MATE (link). The first step was to run inxi -G to discover information about which version of Intel graphics was in use. Fortunately, my netbook used the exact version (2nd generation) as the example, so all I had to do was some simple copying and pasting. I rebooted and the screen tearing was gone. I linked to an archived version of the guide since this should remain a great resource for fixing screen tearing on older devices with Intel integrated graphics.\n#BodhiLinux #linux",

"description":"I am using an old LibreBooted ThinkPad as a \"server\"... really more as an always-on Syncthing node. After having some issues with GNU Trisquel (probably my fault), I decided to go with Bodhi Linux 7.0 (I prefer to have a GUI). Installation went perfect but I had an issue with the behavior on sleep. By default, the laptop seems to suspend when I close the lid, which causes wi-fi to shut off. Since I want it to be an always-on Syncthing node, I obviously need the wi-fi to stay on when I close the laptop. After fumbling for a solution, I read on a forum that the XFCE power manager works outside of XFCE. That sounded good to me since I use XFCE on my main workstation and I am familiar with its GUI tools. I installed it (no extra dependencies - nice), enabled it, and modified the power settings. It worked perfectly. I mark this issue as solved.\n#linux #BodhiLinux #XFCE",

"description":"The boy-Emperor Romulus Augustulus is often described as the last (Western) Roman Emperor. He abdicated the royal purple to Odoacer on September 4, 476. But there remained another claimant to the title of Western Roman Emperor -- the exiled Julius Nepos, who lived until 480. Who was the last Western Roman Emperor? One year to the day, I wrote an article on this ultimately unimportant question.\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/who-was-the-last-western-roman-emperor/\n#RomanEmpire #rome #fallofrome #history #romanhistory",
"description":"If you decide you want to experience the adventure that is Midsummer Haze for yourself, I wrote a story spoiler-free guide to the endings and published it to a repository on my Gitea instance.\nhttps://giteacoffee.emucafe.org/naferrell/altogether_visual_novel_guides/src/branch/main/Midsummer_Haze_Endings_Guide.md\n#visualnovel #visualnovels #guide",
"description":"Let it be said that Midsummer Haze's... interesting... random mechanic was not my only challenge. The EN translation is a patch for an indie Japanese VN from 2004 that went offline in 2008 or 09. In a separate post, I explained how I managed to find the original Japanese game... much searching and a lucky torrent.\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/finding-manatsu-no-kagerou/\n#visualnovel #visualnovels #torrents #research",
"description":"I reviewed Midsummer Haze, a 2006 translation of a 2004 freeware Japanese visual novel, as the 24th review of my project to review nearly all of the 31 Japanese visual novels translated for the 2005, 2006, and 2008 al|together festivals. The game has four endings, and the third unlocks the fourth. How do you get the third? By re-doing the second until it triggers. How many times did that take me? FORTY-THREE\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/midsummer-haze-visual-novel-review/\n#visualnovel #doujin #visualnovels #freeware #WINE #lutris",
"description":"I used the GB Operator to extract ROMs from a good number of GB/GBC/GBA carts, including Nintendo's 1990 Golf. I want to master Golf 1990, but one initial challenge is that estimated distances are not included with clubs (Mario Golf for GBC had... some QoL improvements). Like anyone who played games in the early 2000s, I knew where to find the answer: Game FAQs:\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/game-faqs-guide-for-game-boy-golf-1990/\n#gameboy #golf #gamefaqs #nintendo #strategyguide",
"description":"I am reading an old visual novel called Midsummer Haze as part of my review project. Now it has one choice which branches into two endings. There's a third ending visible. I guessed the gimmick, but before I bashed my head into a wall, I peaked at a single reference to the gimmick on VNDB... I will have to bash my head into a wall. But the fact I'm even able to run this took great effort... must persevere...\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/leaf/on-the-hunt-for-manatsu-no-kagerou/\n#visualnovel #kirikiri #anecdote",
"description":"I had some (likely) good news to share in our 149th newsletter. After 7 months, it appears that we are finally back on Bing. I noticed meaningful referrals on August 18 and it appears Bing began re-indexing our site on July 26. While I am not sure if it will stick, it looks like we are making progress. The newsletter also includes links to our newest articles and 12 interesting links from around the web.\nhttps://thenewleafjournal.com/letter/149/\n#newsletter #blog #searchengine #aroundtheweb #links",
"description":"I didn't think of projectors because I don't have a good set-up for it, but that's another great option along side dumb TVs, TVs that work without internet, and monitors/digital signage. Starting with a mini PC or something similar unlocks plenty of good options for avoiding all of the smart TV issues.",
"description":"I do a version of this approach. I have a 2018 model TCL TV that I do not give access to the internet (this one works without any issue, but I don't know if that is true of newer models). My TV is right next to my desktop computer, but in order to reduce noise and power, I bought a cheap Beelink mini PC and set it up with Fedora-GNOME and Kodi. Works very well for simple purposes and can easily handle light games. There are plenty of other (possibly better) solutions to this effect such as SBCs, spare laptops, or more capable mini PCs to handle some newer games. I would prefer using a computer instead of the Smart TV OS even without all of the concerns listed in the original post.",
