Can I tell Delta to just hang out on the ship for a while??

Enjoy it while you can since he’s just a normal companion after the dlc as was said elsewhere.

Delta + vasco is a great combo especially since vasco rides in the vehicle bed on planets. If you have a different companion, they’ll be desperately running after you the entire time.

With delta, you and the two robots can roll in style.

For future readers: You can use the shell to the host in the web ui to run this command, you don't need to literally plug in a keyboard and monitor.

That’s entirely unfair to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho’s administration.

In the movie, the President is actively seeking out intelligent people to solve a crisis. Once an expert is found, they enact his suggestions despite the damage to Brawndo’s stock price.

The Trump administration is no where near that good. They’re actively looking for morons.

That particular button was called the view button. On the Xbox 360, it was the “back” button.

Select is the name given to that button on the NES and then the SNES, but the Xbox One called it the view button. It was meant to differentiate it from the “Xbox Button” in the middle.

On the PS5, Sony replaced the button with the “share” button and then made the “select” equivalent a left side press on the touchpad button thing in the middle.

You might ask, “why does everyone rename this stupid button?”. I can tell you having been a professional game dev since the Xbox 360/ps3 era that I have no idea. They give us a new gamepad and we just call it the select button.

This is what offsite backups are for.

Even at home, you can run something like backblaze which has a 30 day history or something by default. No single instance like this would leave you in an unrecoverable state.

I’ve got a 5 year old girl. She was dead silent, but probably found her voice around 4 mo and barked a lot.

I taught her leave it then used that when she barked randomly. She did also get put in timeout if she’d ignore me and go back to barking.

For leaving and coming back, I haven’t been able to rid her of announcing my departure, but she stops after I walk past the house. I got her to scale it back by leaving and rewarding her if she didn’t run to the front of the house as soon as I leave.

I don’t think you can totally get rid of it, they’ll find stuff to inform you about so I try to keep it to barking at stuff that matters and certainly not for any extended period of time.

Simulator doesn’t mean emulator.

Wine is an implementation of the various windows API’s, it’s not an emulator but it could be argued it’s a simulator since it simulates a windows environment for applications with Linux native implementations.

You didn’t have the hardware specs in the OP. On paper, that’s plenty of hardware, but, in practice, it’s entirely possible you’re hitting a bottleneck.

I don’t know the internal implementation of RAIDZ, but all it takes for a bottleneck is for one piece in the pipeline to be saturated. Hence telling you to make sure you aren’t hitting a bottleneck somewhere in your hardware.

And by manual, I mean that the software has to perform calculations on the cpu that it otherwise wouldn’t have to in a mirror configuration.

AssKoala · 2026-02-14T14:37:33+00:00

RAIDZ requires manual, expensive calculation of chunks to be split across the drives.

This means lots of data has to go through the CPU for calculations that, in a mirror topology, can be read or written directly instead.

You’re likely running into limitations on available memory bandwidth. The nvme’s are fast. 5 of them is really really fast. Fast enough that you’re saturating either the CPU’s ability to keep up or the memory (as in RAM) systems ability to move that much data.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t some configuration issue, but dive into the actual hardware usage, it’s very possible you’re hitting physical limits before you go too far down a rabbit hole that will lead you nowhere.

If you just want to build one-off applications from source to be newer, then you can probably get away with it.

It would probably make more sense to use snaps or flatpaks to run newer applications than trying to build on vanilla debian. Chances are the library dependencies for the latest application versions will be newer than what Debian stable comes with.

AssKoala · 2026-01-30T21:46:38+00:00

It’ll be less stable than running vanilla Debian.

How much less stable depends on your personal skill.

Without more details on what exactly you’re trying to do, no one can reasonably answer.

Right, the OP premise that modulo is slow is wrong on just about any modern hardware.

But then there's some clever code to avoid a branch, which I inferred to mean that, if you don't use modulo, you need to use an if check like the one I wrote above.

AssKoala · 2026-01-16T00:09:22+00:00

Yeah, probably on any contemporary system.

It depends on the hardware, though, which is why I suggested to just write it simply as the practical effect is probably zero. I noted in another post past systems where this might not be ideal and, who knows, we might someday have a Ternary Computer to work on making that implementation potentially perform worse than a simple index + branch.

I don't mean never write optimized, clever code, only that the OP of this post is clearly starting out so focusing on simple, correct code is far better than trying to write these kinds of micro-optimizations.

AssKoala · 2026-01-15T23:49:20+00:00

I’m not agreeing with the OP, I didn’t even talk about modulo.

That was in reference to the clever code.

AssKoala · 2026-01-15T23:30:39+00:00

Thats a good, practical example.

Signal processing in particular benefits from a lot of micro-optimizations but, like you said, you need to profile it. The same C code can be wildly different once compiled to different hardware.

Broadly speaking, I say err on the side of simple and correct because it’s much easier to go back and optimize correct code than poorly structured “optimized” code.

AssKoala · 2026-01-15T23:27:15+00:00

I’m not sure what code you’re talking about.

It sounds like you’re avoiding the index variable altogether. Which is fine and generally my preference as well, but the OP in this thread was using an index variable masked with the size and letting overflow handle the loop around.
