I play games, and sometimes I make things

OK I haven't been updating on this for a while but I did end up buying a separate RAM kit. For the first time since I started doing regular MemTests, I have a PASS at the 2 month mark! Though I had been somewhat avoiding RAM-intensive scenarios this time. Gonna let myself play Minecraft again soon.

Failed in 2 months again. I don't even know anymore

Seeing this trend lately and it looked fun. These games are all spaces I grew up in, inspired me to create, influenced my tastes in other games, and/or just had a direct impact.

Ayy I like the color

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

Been trying out Kate as a replacement for VSCode/Codium (mostly because everytime I see new chat agent features in the changelog a little part of me dies inside) and it's certainly a text editor! There's definitely drawbacks and minor things to get used to but it does fill mostly the same niche.

So yeah there's a lot of little annoyances and a few missing things, but there's still a lot to like! There's several builtin plugins like linters, a compiler explorer, calls to external tools. There's a scriptable snippets system that's pretty neat. And best of all it's not an Electron app!

In the end I think most people are best served sticking with VSCodium, but if you're willing to put a little bit of time into first-time configuration for whatever environment you're working in, Kate should be able to handle like 90% of the same tasks.

Kate does not have that luxury, but it does at least have a decent LSP client. You have to go out of your way to install (and sometimes configure) language servers yourself but once you do they integrate pretty well. And you can make use of all the language servers that are already made for VSCode.

My one major gripe is that you can't see git diff colors in the gutter. Instead it marks lines that were modified as of opening the file, completely unaware of git. Makes it harder for me to gauge what I've changed without going to the git diff preview (which won't let you edit anything either).

That niche being better than Notepad (having actual code editing features) but not as heavy or as specialized as an IDE. VSCode thrives in that space, especially with its massive extensions marketplace that has stuff for practically any language or environment you need.

The character redesigns seem to be controversial, there's mixed opinions. I think they look funny as hell

Still good after a week

Got a new motherboard and when I went to swap it out I noticed I had a standoff in the wrong spot 🤦🏽‍♂️ Anyway I tested my RMA'd RAM and my system's all in order again. Though I'm gonna keep MemTesting for a while to catch it early if there's still something wrong

Oh and this is what MemTest86 does if you cancel it early

They should probably respell Arkansas but it's kinda funny how much it trips up everyone so I get why they don't

Anyway, for now I suppose I'll see if I can still recover anything of my files, the corruption shouldn't be that big. Most important stuff is backed up as of a few months ago at least.

So this time it's even more annoying because I think it corrupted my filesystem. I was always lucky my fs didn't corrupt before when I had regular crashes on bad RAM for a good while. Now with a relatively fresh set it corrupts immediately, before I even begin to suspect the RAM could be bad again.

At this point I don't know whether I should just suck it up and go buy a different set of RAM (💸) instead of try for a 3rd RMA replacement. Or is it something else that's the problem, like is it my motherboard that is killing my RAM sticks? Because what are the odds at this point?
