Observe while participating is what I meant. The intent is to give a person a heads up that cliques still exist on Lemmy and it may take a bit to understand them. In my case, I found the first instance I wouldn’t participate on when I was classified as a fascist baby killer for some reason. (Some instances hadn’t been mostly defederated back then.)
I would tweak that a hair and tell people just to make an account somewhere and observe for a bit. Lemmy can have some very distinct groups that reside on very specific instances. Or not. It’s a “pick your adventure” kind of scenario, IMHO.
It took about six months or so for me to settle into .ca after bouncing around a bit. It’s not really a pain to switch instances, but I personally like my chat history in one spot and I like the concept of a ‘home instance’.
Depending on your client and your settings, your feed could have a bias that leans in the direction of the posts on your home instance, so that is something of note. Not saying that is bad or good, it just is what it is.
It finally feels like recent microcode updates have improved RAM stability at and over 6000MHz. I was an early adopter of the 9950X3D with an X870E, and it’s been a slow and painful wait while stability issues were worked out over this last year. (Since I migrated to AMD with a 7950X3D, memory training has always been hit-or-miss. Usually a miss unless starting from cold boot.)
Realistically, there isn’t a huge benefit for RAM speeds over 6000 for now, but I can say with confidence that AMD @ 6000 being the sweet spot may be finally in the past. Hopefully. Maybe. (I am running a Crucial 6400 64GB kit now with some tight timings and a mild overclock and it’s rock solid, but it was a long wait to get there.)
How will you know you are in the best timeline? If you hit the jackpot and timeline is already perfect, there is no way to know. Any other coin flips will always produce sub-par results after that. (Unless multiple chances at perfection are possible, that is.)
Mixed theories on that, and most are older.
On earlier computers, I had several ICs walk themselves out of sockets due to repeated thermal expansion cycles. Keeping the computer turned on eliminates most of that.
Mechanical wear was another problem. Booting a computer was extremely taxing on old HDDs and floppy drives.
Edit: Mechanical stuff also takes much more power to spin up and get running. The energy savings might be measurable if you just kept a computer running and didn’t power cycle it everyday.
Most power supplies are really well designed now but they had a tendency to spike power briefly in when turned on. This was especially bad for older capacitors but also not healthy for the ICs. This still happens to a degree, but it’s not an issue.
Now that boot times are reasonably fast and most everything is solid state and power managed really well, turning a computer off is fine.
However, I just assume most electronics now just go into some type of deep sleep mode unless fully disconnected from any power source. That likely isn’t true in many cases, but I consider it healthy level of paranoia.
Could be as simple as a sensor. If there are other engine codes, that could mean a bigger issue. The obvious first steps are to check if the cat is actually still there or if wires to the sensors are damaged.
Catalytic converters can last a long time unless combustion issues or other serious engine problems are ignored. TBH, catalytic converter codes are generally just a symptom of something else. So, do as detailed of an inspection as you can for any wiring damage or leaks. If you have any leaks, try your best to identify the kind of fluid it is. Maybe you can get a hint about what else is going on.
Combustion control is horrendously complex, so it could be any number of things from bad spark plugs to a malfunction in the EGR system. Any information you can gather about the problem now may save you some time and money later.
(I dunno if you know anything about cars, but I just covered the basics, just in case.)
Gleba was a pain. Once I got defense figured out and wasn’t getting harassed any more, it was much easier to focus on my builds.
While I still don’t like Gleba, it taught me how to create extremely resilient builds and forced me to fully understand belt logic. (I had an oopsie last night where I forgot about a one-off process I was running and I came back to 4M spoilage in storage. However, everything was still running and it was fairly easy to purge the mess.)
Give it a try again if you can muster the strength. It really did change quite a bit about how I solve problems in Factorio.
I think I am closing in on 2100 hours in Space Age and haven’t officially finished or gone to the shattered planet yet.
TBH, I am not in any rush. I’ll finish the game eventually, but there have been so many things I have wanted to build and experiment with first. (Once I get legendary bio science flowing continuously, my next goal will likely be to build an end game ship.)
The biggest problem is that I keep thinking up new projects to try. Currently, I am rebuilding Vulcanus for about the 5th time as I have a new up-cycling idea for green and red circuits and am getting bulk legendary tungsten flowing.
For me, not blocking the output of a splitter is a personal note/habit that the splitter can be moved or should be moved later. (Having the wasted materials sticking out is annoying as hell and it will tickle a few neurons when I am scrolling around older or more complex builds. Basically, it helps me remember any earlier intent.)
I gave this some thought and I still can’t decide what is the best option.
From one perspective, not binding the bundle to the spine follows a clean horizontal/vertical layout and isn’t tightly bound to the movement of the spine. This may be “shortest path” and save on cable cost. However, there could be conditions that would stretch the cable if it were only tied to the neck and hips.
If the bundle was tied closely to the spine, the cable would be stretched less when the spine moves, but it would be moving and bending more. Cable cost could be a bit more as the total path is longer.
Installing something similar to a cable chain on the spine to let the bundle float (while still being contained) is probably a decent meet-in-the-middle solution between the above two options.
(In hindsight, me giving this any serious thought was bizarre.)
You can get an absolute minimum of 5k spm kinda quick after Aquilo, even without legendary science packs. Agriculture science is probably the biggest hurdle and you also need biolabs. (This is excluding promethium science and you probably want legendary biolabs too.)
The madlads are pushing +1 million spm these days, btw. Total insanity.
That is what my base has done as well. There always seems to be a big rework as soon as I get cliff explosives and big miners, but everything usually stays in a similar location.
Of course they read. Do you think those ticked tock subtitles are going to read themselves when they “do their own research”?
I think a conversation about Hannah Montana Linux could be quite entertaining.
South Carolina is just a floppy extension of Myrtle Beach and mostly consists of the void you might need to cross to get to Georgia.
It’s a weird state. I am sure there are some nice parts, but for the most part, I can’t stand it.
Except when you couldn’t know in advance when your show skipped a week and they had to play some crappy rerun of a completely different show.
I am curious about your view. Can you point to anything specific? We all know he made a big investment into Framework and he was a fanboi of that company for a while.
There are some very real constraints around how LTT can review laptops now. Any promotional work (reviews, status updates, etc.) that LTT does for Framework is easily framed as such based on video context.
I am genuinely curious about this and your point of view. Why? I am not a huge fan of deception or otherwise shady practices that would illegally harm competitors.
