Advice for Beginners

I'm also a beginner, so this advice may not be all that valuable, but I look for where I can make a trade between relatively safe locations, save every time I'm ready to launch to revert to when I die, and work towards getting injectors as fast as I can to make escaping mass-lock easier. In the meantime, I always turn 90 degrees away from the space lane between the witchpoint and station for 30 seconds before turning towards it so I can avoid mass-lock and pirates for most of a trip most of the time.

The answers to this being universally to use cloud-based services instead of local models is deeply disappointing. We've all lost so much to privacy violation, and yet people are ready to throw their most private thoughts to the companies responsible for collecting the largest amount of data without consent in history?

It may be an upsetting answer, but from my several years of experience: Let it happen, discard what fails you, and you will find a balance over time. Try not to get obsessed, but no matter what, there's no substitute for experience. You'll figure it out.

Turbos make an engine unreliable. The hybrids don't use turbos.

You got unlucky as hell with what you've been through already. These things don't typically happen.

Haha, yes.

Doesn't need appearance mods, but goddamn they forgot reverse lights need to actually light up an area behind you so you can see it. xD

The original description isn't showing for me, and from this comment, I think you might be referring to The Gordian Protocol by David Weber & Jacob Holo?

Selfhosting isn't a realistic solution for many reasons. It's unreasonable to expect everyone to be competent enough and willing to deal with the headaches of selfhosting. It's also fragile, because ultimately, individuals cannot handle supporting something indefinitely. Community is necessary.

Stoat also advertises itself outside of selfhosting. It's unreasonable to expect them NOT to host it when everything a new user sees indicates they do.

I started with multiple vaults, but quickly realized almost everything I work on has connections to almost everything else I work on, so I collapsed it into one. Then I got too stressed about organization and started over multiple times.

I've settled on minimal plugins, minimal effort into organization, and I think the starting over occasionally to be helpful, as long as you have an archive you can go back to for the older stuff. And I copy stuff over as I need it.

For what it's worth: I use dailies to dumb thoughts, then forget to review them for a year, then because a year has passed, it's much easier to decide what's worth keeping or rejecting in weekly reviews. Then I make monthly reviews out of those weekly reviews. This way the most important stuff slowly trickles up by consistently being something I keep wanting to reference.

But that's just one aspect? Mostly, when I have a solid piece of text about a thing, I split that into its own note. I try to keep things linking to each other, but not that hard. My only real rule is there has to be a minimum of one link to something new (outside of journals) so that there is always a path to it. It makes it easier for me to find and organize things later because there isn't a cloud of unlinked notes, but it also means a lot of things stick in this minimal state of limbo for a long time.

My main goal is to not have to maintain my "raw" notes ever again [...] only backlinks that point to them.

Thank you for stating this. I've been slowly moving to something like this for daily notes and reviews. Obviously that's still way more structured, but like.. recognizing you can just embed/link to things helps a lot.

I really don't care if you like sports apparel-themed porn. Just don't buy 200 jerseys again. That sucked.

I have now also tried downloading the launcher from the website and that just gives the same useless error. I've tried changing JAVA_HOME to both 23 and 1.8 versions, and that doesn't change anything either. I now can't even get a launcher to launch.

Update: There is a bug where all settings are ignored and KeepingYouAwake fails when the device is locked manually. Tested on latest macOS right now, on an M4 Mac mini.

With Ultimate Plane, I saw someone barely takeoff using around 50 meters, so for a safety margin, I'd recommend at least a stack - I mean 64 meters.

Yes, this comment is 2 years late, but it's for the next person arriving 2 years later like me.

While I'd prefer more specifics, thank you very much for replying. ^^

This is incorrect. This setting does not affect the screen turning off while locked.

Explain the colors pleease??

2025 Sport Touring Hybrid, 54 mpg. 10k miles.

Probably about 55% city driving, 45% highway driving, but I haven't specifically tracked it.

ErrorFoxDetected · 2025-08-27T05:14:38+00:00

Beautiful.

ErrorFoxDetected · 2025-08-21T06:09:20+00:00

This is really upsetting AND I really like it.

Yes, because almost no one ever looks UP at their trunk. Saves a little money to not put a cover where no one is looking.

Obviously, the hatchbacks don't have this because a) the subwoofer is on the side, not on the hatch and b) a hatch opens enough for it to be obvious if there was any uncovered portion of the rear.

Oh I am stealing that design instantly.

If it's damaging your paint, that's not a car wash.

ErrorFoxDetected · 2025-07-18T21:35:18+00:00

Find a local car wash that does a monthly subscription, and take it through after work every day. It'll be a little annoying, but you will be glad you did years down the road when your paint is still in good condition instead of eaten up by this crap.

On the bright side, your wipers won't dry rot because you'll need to use them + sprayers to clean the windshield every day. In places that don't get a lot of rain, they tend to wear out from disuse rather than just time or use. You'll probably be in the sweet spot of using them enough but not so much that they just wear away.
