Helen, who appeared as an actress in zombie movie 28 years later, said she decided she did not want to hide her hair loss by wearing wigs.
I just saw that film and didn’t remember which role she had, so I checked IMDB, and it just says “infected women”.
Turns out they gave her really shitty patchy strands of hair as part of that role: www.facebook.com/groups/…/725981959933459/ That was accidentally kind of funny after I just read that sentence above.

Same in Switzerland, the non recessed ones can’t be installed anymore. But just in case devices are plugged into flat ones you also get isolation on the non-earth pins

Nevermind adpcm_ima_apm is clearly wrong.
- Comment on Lets find obscure VG OSTs that deserves more attentions 1 week ago:
Ohh from your link:
Since the NINA Version(??), the files are encoded in ADPCM. Before that, the files use normal PCM.
I have the “Königsedition”. “Königsedition” is the version that’s contains all expansions, equivalent to the English “Creation of a New World” which is also what they sell on GoG. Your link mentions NINA, which must refer to “Neue Inseln Neue Abentuer”, the first expansion, followed by “Im Namen des Königs”. So if Königsedition contains both, it probably also has the ADPCM encoded music.
I also found this comment in the Annozone Forum, where someone found the right codec by trial and error after checking the code of this Anno 2018 reimplementation of Anno 1602. Same ffmpeg command.
He claims adpcm_ima_apc and adpcm_ima_ssi give the same result which seems weird to me. And then further down people discuss that some track still sound weird.
Looking at the ffmpeg code it seems there is one more option that looks quite likely, just beneath
adpcm_ima_apc, “ADPCM IMA CRYO APC”, namelyadpcm_ima_apm, “ADPCM IMA Ubisoft APM”I’ll try what that gives. - Comment on Lets find obscure VG OSTs that deserves more attentions 1 week ago:
Oh interesting. I have both, but I don’t remember which I tried on. The music works fine in game, so I thought it was simply a proprietary format they used to mush it all onto one disk, as you did back then.
I’ll give it another try just for the challenge tonight, but otherwise I’ll happily take you up on your offer, thank you! I’ll let you know!
- Comment on Lets find obscure VG OSTs that deserves more attentions 1 week ago:
Hmm interesting that you say that.
I tried a few years ago to extract the soundtrack, and my result was utter failure. The codec in the WAVs seemed to be some kind of fucky version of PCM I never managed to decode cleanly. Some attempts produced recognizable outputs, but with lots of noise.
Maybe some the codec has been included in the common libraries in the meantime or the player you used recognizes the format while the ones I tried didn’t. What player did you use?

I really like the Rome: Total War soundtrack by Jeff van Dyck
In particular Divinitus and Forever, Angela van Dyck singing on those tracks just adds something more.

Ha I was going to say the same, and wasn’t sure if it’s just nostalgia.
Listened to it this morning on the way to work actually!
- Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good… 2 weeks ago:
I find the comparison to Prey very fitting. To me Prey was even a little scarier.
- Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good… 2 weeks ago:
I only just played it as well! (At least the main story and one DLC, not entirely done). I also like it a lot. The whole SCP atmosphere is fun, and I loved Ahti especially.
Tip: You should do the quest “My Brother’s Keeper” earlier rather than later. I tried doing all the side quests first, but got a little stuck because I was missing something.
Tip: If you bought the DLCs (for example if you got Ultimate Edition), one of them starts rather randomly so if you start seeing Alan Wake, you’ve entered the crossover DLC. You can do it in between or after the main mission, it doesn’t hurt to do it early. The other DLC starts after the last main quest of the main game.
- Comment on What is behind the current Lemmy meme about 4 being a private key? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not so sure. Because shortly after the above quote they answered this to the next question:
Is there any reason which may explain why the A and A-1 ECDSA keys appear to be unaffected by similar issues? The A and A-1 series were created in Entrust HSMs and were meant for deployment only in India.
And previously in Comment 10 they said about the bad keys
These ICAs were generated from the same key ceremony on Apr 30, 2025. The G3B and G3C ICAs were created for European and US operations respectively but they were not put into production except #2 in the list below but no end entity certificates were issued from these. The Code Signing issuers were not put into production also did not issue any certificates.
That’s why I think somehow the intended place of use made a difference in their process. But it could be you’re right and they still mean HSM export, because the keys need to go to the region of use, and aren’t transported physically in the HSM.

Check the alt text on that one :-)
- Comment on What is behind the current Lemmy meme about 4 being a private key? 2 weeks ago:
They are saying there were mistakes made with their key generation scripts:
We have done some preliminary assessment, there appears to be a flaw in the KGC script that was used on that specific day to create these ECC issuers. As for these ECC keys, our review of the KGC, assessment of the code and view of HSM keys so far indicate that a) a set of original ECC keys were created onboard as expected b) an approved deviation to our usual KGC to test a wrap/unwrap was introduced as these keys were meant for export for this instance c) a flaw in the code resulted in the second pair of keys being created onboard which were weaker d) these second pair of weaker keys were used by mistake to create the csr (because the key labels were similar) and signed by our root e) the CSR from these weaker keys were also sent over to Sectigo for cross signing (we verified the files sent over to Sectigo)

Personally I’m still a little confused why it makes any difference that the keys were intended for export to their European and US operations

Ever heard of Hackintosh? That’s the length people went to, to run macOS on unofficial hardware. Virtualized hardware unfortunately has the same issue.

Yeah at the time I had a Radeon HD 5850, which I think was a decent price-value balance, and that had 1GB.

I wonder how that layout even happens. Are rails and highways planned together? I guess here in Switzerland the rail lines are mostly much older than the highways.
- Comment on A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago 4 weeks ago:
The math is a bit counter intuitive, but increasing by 5% then decreasing by 5% of the new value does not get you back to the start exactly.
You take a value v, increase it by 5% to 105% of the previous you now have 105% * v. Now you take that new values as the basis for the next calculation, and decrease by 5% to 95% of the previous, you now have 95% * 105% * v which is actually 99.75% * v.
You need to find the day from which their wealth increased by 5.263% so that a 5% tax would bring them back.
But yeah, whatever it doesn’t make a material difference to the argument. A one time tax sounds a bit weird to me, but I don’t live there, Californians should do whatever they can. Maybe a one time tax is a good first domino stone.

- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 5 weeks ago:
Thank you for the datapoint! Exactly like my Czech friend said as well.
It makes a lot of sense to me, that you would put a floor on the precision like that.
We often have the question at the counter, like “It’s a few grams over, is that still okay, or should I take some off?”.
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 5 weeks ago:
He got back to me really fast. He says yes!
Yes, you go to shop. To buy a ham for example. And here you fully just say: “10 deka of this”
He also gave me this song text (Michal Tučný - Prodavač with the chorus at 0:41):
Pět deka, deset deka, dvacet deka, třicet deka, kilo chleba, kilo cukru, jeden rohlík, jedna veka, všechno máme, co kdo chcete, obchod kvete, jen si račte říct. Čtyři kila, deset kilo, dvacet kilo, třicet kilo, navážíme, zabalíme, klaníme se, to by bylo, prosím pěkně, mohu nechat o jedenáct deka víc?
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 5 weeks ago:
Interesting, thanks. It’s not familiar to me in my South-Western corner of central Europe. I’ll have to ask my Czech friend if it’s familiar to him.
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 5 weeks ago:
Centi is familiar to everyone from centi-meter, I have deci in deci-Bel for my optical signals at work, and I know hecto is used for hecto-Pascal which replaced the milli-bar. But I can’t think of one for deka, can anyone give an example of a unit where deka is used often?

Well I guess it’s good they patented it, at least that means the others can’t do it.
