The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration’s industrial furnace and casting machines.

That’s not the sort of power from above churches are supposed to believe in.

Fulgora. It’s an experience.

Just got to my first new planet.

Why won’t the government just give them the money and trust that they’ll do what they said? It worked out great paying companies to roll out fiber years ago, that’s why we’re all on reliable, high speed fiber internet today.

The free trial isn’t a business model. It’s a demo.

You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it’d be a worse game.

Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn’t an option they’re going to be interested in.

I for one definitely feel like big corporations are pissing on me.

I mean, it’s bits of configuration all over the place that I’ve built up over time. It isn’t a single script on one machine, and you’d need to change a lot of things if you weren’t running Slackware. I can’t really copy and paste it all.

Network namespaces and policy based routing are black magic, IMO.

I’ve got a VPN set up on my router and separate VLANs set up for ordinary traffic and VPN traffic. A device doesn’t need to support VPNs at all, I just connect it to the VPN VLAN and all its traffic goes over the VPN whether it likes it or not. I’ve got separate wifi SSIDs for each VLAN.

My desktop is connected to both VLANs with a network namespace set up for the VPN VLAN, so sudo vpn rtorrent runs rtorrent in the namespace that’s connected to the VPN VLAN.

My setup is nice, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to learn quite a bit about networking.

Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it’s chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.

IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you’re looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There’s a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It’s fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.

It’s not just the drivetrain - if you’re in cold areas that salt the roads you can lose the suspension or frame to rust damage.

If you still have your job, you can start on Factorio mods.

Well, for starters, unless you’re running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.

Post a dmesg?

People are playing it on Steam Deck. Handhelds might not be viable for high end raiding, but there’s a lot more to the game than that.

The batteries are there but you also need the expensive bidirectional chargers, software and hardware support in the vehicle, and you need the grid at some random school to be able to cope with tens or hundreds of kilowatts of feed-in power. There’s quite a lot involved in connecting a vehicle’s battery to the grid.

This setup only makes sense as long as batteries are expensive, and that won’t be the case for very long. The logistics of grid storage are much simpler when you don’t have the vehicle or chargers to deal with and can connect straight to a high voltage line.

That’s because you can only use them as grid storage when they’re sitting plugged in and you need infrastructure to make feeding all that power into the grid possible.

If you’re going to all that effort for storage that’s only functioning part of the time, it probably makes more sense to buy dedicated batteries which you can put wherever is convenient for the grid and will be available 100% of the time.
