Have you tried hitting it with a hammer?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Alt-shift or winkey-space

On a side note I always wondered how you got inside a Type 103 TARDIS when it was in humanoid form.

The backdoor

Pour some tea into the phone receiver. This will reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and remind the TARDIS of its priorities.

Will Lipton work, or would you suggest it be earl grey?

Go down to the pub and drink 5 beers.

And don't forget the peanuts.

You just need a good running start.

There's a change in a directory name. /gravity should be /mavity

Don't forget to set your environment variables too:

TIMEY=wimey

SSH into it and re-generate the locale

That seems pretty straight forward. How do I find the IP address of my TARDIS though? I've never had to look it up.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You should've read the wiki smh

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I did, but it just assumes you already know. It's all very hostile for first time time travelers tbh.

while it’s in en_US, you have to specify the new dimensions in hamburgers

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Um, no. We measure in football fields. Sheesh.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

hamburgers? Next you'll be telling me to set the base time references in mm-dd-yyyy, lol.

I'm trying to convert Americans to dd-mmm-yyyy one dev team at a time. It's my magnum opus.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

dd-mmm-yyyy

Adding an extra digit to the months in case we have a huge leap year some day 👍🤣 Better safe than sorry!

Edit: spelling

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It renders as 05-Apr-2024. Rendering the month as an abbreviation gets rid of confusion.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Uuuh doesn't work in some languages. You're trading one bad concept with another.

visceral reaction

Have you tried turning your Arc of Infinity off and on again?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The Sonix Temudriver says:

Error: Division by zero calculated successfully. Unable to break infinity.

If I hit CTRL-ALT-ȩ̴̛̛͚̖̤͉͔̜̟͎͚̠̠̣͎̐̅̿͛̀́͜͝ͅs̸͎̼̹̱̗̬̻͕̺̺̰͚̬̜̰͈͈͊̋͊̀̉̎͒͗͐́̔̕̚͝͝c̴̪͍̃̂͛̓̔̕͝ I can switch to a parallel dimension. Maybe I'll try rebooting there and then popping back here to change the localisation. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Be aware that rebooting doesn't shut down the Eye of Harmony (at least for models Type 61 and older - newer models can have an optional dimensional transfer to mitigate the problem). Rebooting all systems while the star powering your TARDIS is still dimensionally attached can lead to a high build-up of Archon Energy that needs to be disposed quickly. not doing so will result in your TARDIS trying to use it internally by changing the layout of your rooms and possibly even the desktop theme of your main control room.

An easier way to archive what you are trying to do, is to access the remote management interface. That require you to own a new-ish sonic screwdriver (at least last years model) as only the new ones come with the necessary holographic UI library to do anything more than remote summoning or launching preprogrammed macros.
