This time I played it on my new Series X, which on my 1080p TV, only really benefits me in Halo 3 by way of quicker loading times. So, playing the campaign for only the second time, I once again relied on the Master Chief Collection for Xbox One. “Master Chief and the Arbiter, back together again!” Halo 3’s multiplayer was for me, I suppose, what Halo 2’s was for so many Halo fans, and I look back on those times quite fondly. ![]() So many Xbox Live Slayer matches, innumerable in-person get-togethers for couch matches, custom game types and house rules, custom maps via Forge, coop over Live, etc. Probably more significantly, Halo 3 also became a highly social game between me and a few different groups of friends which continued on to some degree through the life of Halo: Reach. This felt like the perfect transition from one generation to the next and I certainly wasn’t disappointed with the last installment of the trilogy. As mentioned in my last post, I was actively working on finishing off the original Xbox games on my backlog before finally migrating to the Xbox 360, and I capped off the effort by purposely lining up another playthrough of Halo: CE and my first real playthrough of Halo 2 with the release of Halo 3. Unlike Halo 2, I was actually anticipating the release of Halo 3. The Master Chief manages to hitch a ride just as the ship takes off and jumps to Earth while Cortana remains behind to finish dealing with the Halo installation, and inadvertently, the Gravemind. As the Flood begin to overrun High Charity, Master Chief tracks the last of the Covenant leaders, the Prophet of Truth, to an ancient Forerunner dreadnought in the city. The Arbiter, teaming up with some of the remaining UNSC forces, succeeds in stopping Tartarus though, interrupting the activation already in progress, a failsafe system engages, threatening to remotely activate all of the remaining Halos. The Gravemind reveals to the Arbiter that he’s been lied to and then sends them both to stop the activation of the Halo installation Master Chief to the Covenant’s mobile capital city High Charity and the Arbiter to stop Tartarus on the Halo installation. As a civil war between the Brutes and the Elites breaks out, both the Master Chief and the Arbiter find themselves held captive by an intelligent Flood creature called the Gravemind. While successful in stopping the humans, the Arbiter is then betrayed by Tartarus, the commander of the Brutes, as they assume the Elite’s power within the Covenant. The main Covenant fleet jumps in and the Arbiter is dispatched to intervene. ![]() Master Chief and the small UNSC force with him head to the surface to prevent this new Halo from being activated and the Master Chief manages to kill the Prophet of Regret. The UNSC frigate that Master Chief and Cortana are on manages to jump along with them, arriving at another Halo installation. As the battle turns, Regret retreats, making a slipspace jump right above the city. During the ensuing battle, Regret’s ship gets through Earth’s defenses and begins to assault the city of New Mombasa. ![]() Meanwhile, a small Covenant fleet led by one of the Covenant leaders, the Prophet of Regret, arrives near Earth. The Arbiter is then dispatched to recover 343 Guilty Spark. He’s given the opportunity to become the Arbiter, a position that serves at the Covenant leadership’s behest to embark on special, typically suicidal missions in order to atone for his failures. The Story So Far: Taking blame for the loss of Halo Installation 04, an Elite commander is tried for heresy.

“Our characters in the comic, Mister Yelly and Sasquatch E. On March 4, members came together for their first ever in-person panel to share about their creative work and the new collective.Ĭomic artists and writer share about their work and goals of the collective in their first in-person panel on March 4, 2023. The comic collective is in-residence at the Bunnell Street Arts Center in Homer for March. The team behind “Chickaloonies” is part of the Łuk’ae Tse’ Taas or Fish Head Soup collective of Alaska Native comic artists and writers, which aims to share visual stories of Alaska’s rich regional cultures. “It was one of those things where we can sit here and watch everything on Netflix or we can make a book, you know, we can do something,” Silver said. When the pandemic hit, they started the creation of the comic “Chickaloonies,” which follows two Alaska Native characters on an epic quest to become the greatest storytellers ever. He went on to launch the comic book studio, 80% Studios with creative partner Casey Silver. Later in his twenties, with the support of his mother and grandmother, he illustrated and designed tribal language education and children’s comics which were adapted into Chickaloon school curriculum. “And to be creatively free with how I chose to depict them, which is like comic books, or manga.” ![]() “Grandma shared her stories with me and collaborated with me to illustrate them and kind of gave me the permission to do that,” Macheras said. ![]() He would illustrate the Ahtna legends she told him - like mischievous Raven lazing on a couch - and she encouraged it. The creative spark for drawing came to Alaska Native comic artist Dimi Macheras as a kid, growing up in the Chickaloon Native Village, in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and listening to his grandmother’s stories. ![]() Łuk’ae Tse’ Taas collective at the Bunnell Street Arts Center, with director Adele Person (center), on March 4, 2023. ![]() So, my one and only user no longer has admin privs and/or cannot access sudo because of this file.

Why such a scheme? It is done to increase the security of the system. Instead, a regular user account is granted permission to log in as a root user using the sudo command. There is no root password on Ubuntu and many modern Linux distro. Now you can set up the root user password by typing the following command: Type your own password when prompted, and then you will see # prompt. But, I still want to set up a root password on Ubuntu. This means that in the terminal you should use sudo for commands that require root privileges simply prepend sudo to all the commands you need to run as root. This is where sudo comes in – it allows authorized users to run certain programs as root without having to know the root password. However, since the root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This means that you cannot login as root directly or use the su command to become the root user. There is no Ubuntu Linux root password set by default and you don’t need one.īy default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu. The root account is locked in Ubuntu Linux. So, what is the default root password for Ubuntu Linux? Supply your password and you will become a root user. Open the terminal application and simply type the following sudo command Note that most shells behave differently when a command is specified as compared to an interactive session consult the shell’s manual for details. If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed. If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution via the shell’s -c option. -s : Run the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell specified by the invoking user’s password database entry.This means that login-specific resource files such as. -i : Run the shell specified by the target user’s password database entry as a login shell.Where, sudo command options are as follows: Note that this is not recommended until and unless you are an expert and aware of what you are typing or doing:Ībove command will start /bin/bash as a root shell so that you can enter a root user command without using sudo command. $ sudo systemctl restart ssh Avoid typing sudo each and every time on Ubuntu Linux Start / stop / restart services stored in /etc/init.d/ directory In other words a root password is not needed. When sudo asks for a password, you need to supply YOUR OWN password. For example create a new user called bar, you need to type sudo command as follows: Ubuntu setup your default account (the one created during installation) to run all administrative commands. sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user. To run all administrative command use the sudo command on Ubuntu. Therefore, you cannot log in as root or use ‘su -‘ command to become a superuser. By default root account is locked under Ubuntu Linux. ![]() It blends in beautifully without settling into fine lines and keeps your skin feeling soft and moisturized.

Another problem arises, though: will these average users eventually grow tired of Apple’s restrictions and become interested in Skype’s mobile offering? And if so, how long is that going to take? Apple has the chance to win on context, with a simple system that can be just fine for the millions of iOS users. Skype has the best system right now, with lots of options, 3G capabilities and a nicely designed app. I believe it is about infrastructure and context. It’s the “it just works” thing all over again. What are they going to use, Skype or FaceTime? People like my mom and dad – are they going to log into Skype, check on available contacts and initiate a video call or tap on the camera button in the phone app? For the average user, and Apple knows this, FaceTime is appealing because of its simplicity. They know each other well, they have each other’s info in their address books. Typical Apple scenario: two iPhone 4 users want to see each other in a video call. But I do know that by entering the video calling segment of mobile computing with the iPhone 4, they set out to replace what iPhone users were previously relying on for their video calling needs. I’m not saying Apple should turn the address book that’s built in every iOS device and Mac into a Skype-like service. ![]() Which, by the way, happens to be interoperable with desktop computers. That’s why Skype 3.0 for iOS is such a big deal: it brings chat, address book, video calls, file sharing and status updating in a single place. The funny thing is Skype is closer to the integrated model than Apple ever was as long as online communication is concerned. Not to mention the lack of chat, file sharing or status updating features. There’s no way to see who, among your friends, has FaceTime, actually – unless you previously had a video call with him. There’s no way to see if your friends who have FaceTime are online. When you try to FaceTime with someone, you have to hope he’s online or at least running an active internet connection. In Skype, you can check on your contacts’ online status, chat, share files…In Apple’s Address Book, you can only save contact information and that’s about it. ![]() Which is similar to adding someone on Skype, with the exception that Skype’s address book can do other stuff besides keeping phone numbers. Well, unless you add a person to your own Address Book. Even if Apple’s FaceTime runs on iOS and OS X and it’s installed by default on every mobile device, they have no way to aggregate their users. Millions of users with address books and contacts lists ready to be tested with mobile video calling. But looking at the big picture, that’s not really what Apple should fear. Apple, due to technology limitations or AT&T’s pressure, only lets you FaceTime on WiFi. Which leads me to consider Apple’s position in regards to this update: Skype lets you see your friends wherever you are, no matter what kind of connection you’re on. Forget the 3rd party apps in the App Store that allow video calls: this is Skype. We could argue on the 24/7 internet availability on devices like the iPod touch and the iPad WiFi, but there’s no doubt the new Skype for iOS is the closest thing Apple ever had to a FaceTime competitor. The latest Skype update is, put simply, a huge win for the millions of Skype users out there who have an iOS device always connected to the internet. Skype 3.0 also lets you call desktop users on Mac and PC and check on their computer screens (sounds useful for remote troubleshooting or networking), requires iOS 4 and supports both portrait and landscape modes. Previous tests showed that Apple’s FaceTime technology also consume 3 MB per minute. The iPhone app allows you to receive and initiate video calls both on WiFi and 3G, it’s compatible with iPhone 4 / iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen and, when on 3G, consumes around 3.4 MB of data per minute. Version 3.0 of the Skype app, released just in time for New Year’s Eve, adds video calling to all iOS devices with the possibility to run the app in compatibility mode on the iPad and receive video calls on screen. Last night, Skype released a major new version of their iPhone and iPod touch client. ![]() I used it reliably for several years, and probably had no more than 500 GB of content in total (this was 2008-12 ish).Carbonite arbitrarily decided that running their personal client on a server was outside their licensing model, presumably because their model was to pay for a separate subscription on each of your multiple PCs. Of course WHS also had the option to back up all of the PCs on your network, but I didn't choose to include any of that stuff in my Carbonite backup. I had all of my movies, shows, music, family photos and videos, and documents stored on the WHS, which was backed up to Carbonite. At the time, I was running Carbonite on my Windows Home Server box, which I was using a media NAS solution. I used to be an ardent Carbonite subscriber for many years, but they burned me. ![]() And OMV has better options for extensibility. These are cheap to replace too.Also, FreeNAS is published under a BSD license and not the GPL. With a single NAS with multiple drive bays, sure you can have a hard drive die, but if the unit itself dies, you're screwed. Why get just a dumb 2.5" USB hard drive enclosure, when for a few extra bucks you can make it a smarter NAS device? Think about this though: each hard drive has it's own NAS CPU and computational power, so you get additional hardware redundancy over just one multi-bay single unit. From what I can see, their own comparison of their software compared to OpenMediaVault has woefully-outdated information.OpenMediaVault supports RSync via the GUI, so you can sync multiple NAS devices together, which makes it a good option for stacking multiples of these together. Other systems are better at working with multiple filesystems. In reply to karlinhigh:It only supports ZFS AFAIK. In any event, a moment of silence, please. Code42 offers a CrashPlan for Small Business service, and it will migrate your existing subscription if you’d like to stay with the firm. That said, those with small businesses may want to stick with CrashPlan. ![]() Don’t be put off by the pricing: These plans are unlimited and cover an unlimited number of computers. But Carbonite does offer office plans too, which start at $269.99 per year. That said, you can’t actually use a consumer Carbonite plan to back up a home server if you’re still using such a thing. And while the initial upload was glacially slow, the service itself was unlimited, so it was pretty ideal. “Subscriptions include free, award-winning customer support, 7 days a week.” Carbonite pricing starts at $59.99 per year per computer.ĬrashPlan and I go way back: I used the service to back up various Windows Home Server- and Windows Server Essentials-based servers in the mid-2000s and recommended it to readers. “Carbonite offers simple, secure cloud backup for computers,” Code42 explains. That’s a good amount of time for existing customers to find a new home for their data, but Code42 is recommending that they at least consider Carbonite, one of the leading cloud backup vendors for consumers. “CrashPlan for Home will no longer be available for use starting October 23, 2018.” “Effective August 22, 2017, Code42 will no longer offer new-or renew-CrashPlan for Home subscriptions, and we will begin to sunset the product over several months,” the company revealed on its website. And it is directing customers to switch to Carbonite instead. Code42 is shutting down CrashPlan for Home, its consumer cloud backup service. 23 in which his car rolled over several times.

Some cloud manufacturing platforms just try to get as many partners on board as possible. Finding great suppliers is not always an easy task though. Quality is one of the key aspects customers look for in manufacturing. Thus, the supply chains are highly configurable and not fixed, minimising the reliance on certain connections and partnerships.Īlso, the automated system’s capability of choosing a production partner based on those qualities accounts for achieving lower costs and lessened environmental impacts through shorter delivery distances. The manufacturing of parts is assigned to the nearest manufacturer who has the expertise to execute the job. Flexibilityĭepending on the manufacturing platform, cloud manufacturing offers a large variety of capabilities at one place. How are these goals attained, though? For that, we shall take a closer look at the key characteristics of cloud manufacturing. And cloud manufacturing’s aims align well with those needs:įeatures and Benefits of Cloud Manufacturing Whereas the demands for lower environmental impacts and costs are growing, many are seeking for solutions in the realm of on-demand manufacturing. The main reason for the growing popularity and belief in cloud manufacturing is its sustainability. Today, we see such manufacturing platforms offering services for sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, CNC machining, etc. They offer possibilities to reduce environmental impacts and cut down costs by making intelligent decisions. ![]() This creates a model where several companies are sharing their capabilities with those website visitors.Īt the same time, these platforms are not just mediation services. All the necessary info about manufacturers is available on the cloud. In simple terms it means that people can visit a website to order their manufacturing, while the production is not limited to one company only. It is a service-oriented business model to share manufacturing capabilities and resources on a cloud platform. The same principles of shared information are at use with cloud manufacturing. Devices from anywhere have access to the info The definition of “cloud computing” is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.

The following year, Oda published Meoto Zenzai ( 夫婦善哉). In 1939, his story Zokushu ( 俗臭, Vulgarity) was a candidate for the Akutagawa Prize. A native of Osaka, he wrote about most of life in that city and the customs and manners of the common people there. Oda's writing career spans both prewar and postwar Japan.

You can soon be an executive if this continues. "She does." He answered shortly, before stashing his gun back to its place.

With ease, his index finger moved into the trigger box, gently pressing against the trigger. "Sorry, but if you stir up too much trouble 'round here, I can't let you off the hook." He spoke lowly, mostly muttering to himself rather than to said man. Oda lifted his arm up, and aimed for the man trembling on his feet. Heavy breaths produced soft smokes from his nostrils.

He softly guided her body to turn around and face him. "I love you too." She muttered quietly, averting her gaze away somewhere else. "There is no need to be embarrassed, it's normal right?" Oda grinned when he noticed how his lover hid her face in her hands. "It's because I love you." He said those words rather easily, and it never failed to make her blush or chuckled lightly in embarrassment. "You know the answer very well, (F/n)." Oda murmured sweetly, kissing her cheek. Not that I mind, though." She shifted slightly, making herself comfortable in his arms. (F/n) smiled, "How can you be so gentle with me? I mean, you treated me as if I break easily.
