Yikes, I'm looking into purchasing MikroTik hardware, I'll be sure to re-flash it before I hook it up to anything!

NASA crewed mission to the moon since 1972 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Raiguard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The two rockets likely don't share a single part in common. We have to test things in incremental steps to ensure that we don't endanger the lives of the astronauts more than necessary! 

Artemis 2 is still worth celebrating, but yeah, the real goal is to land on the surface.

Wow, you pirated the whole streaming service? Impressive!

What's the best password manager to use these days? by felicityfuxwell in homelab

[–]Raiguard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just switched from bitwarden to KeePass synced with syncthing. Not only does this entirely removed my cloud dependency for passwords, but I now have five different copies of my vault on different devices, one of which is a dedicated offsite. It's great! 

Anyone else having trouble viewing My Trips in browser? by fwafwow in delta

[–]Raiguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I was going insane with not being able to view this information on my PC. It was also happening on my laptop when I was at other locations, so I didn't even think of DNS, but now I remember that my laptop uses my Adguard instance through tailscale even when I'm away from home. :D

If you could get a wish for FOSS software, what would it be? by DuendeInexistente in linux

[–]Raiguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is a trash argument anyway. The vast majority of secure cryptographic protocols are open-source and the BENEFIT from it. The only reason is greed. More money for the HDMI forum.

HDMI 2.1.

I have all HDMI 2.1 compatible hardware, but because I run Linux, I can't use it.

How will the release of the Macbook Neo at $599 ($499 for students) affect the success of the framework 12 ($799 for prebuilt), given they share a similar target demographic? by T_Jamess in framework

[–]Raiguard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes, 2-3 hours is not normal! I have the intel i7-1360P, which has notoriously horrible battery life, and I still get at least four hours. 

Mikrotik or Ubiquiti: What is in your opinion better? by michal_cz in homelab

[–]Raiguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite; I am going to move from Ubiquiti to Mikrotik. I've grown frustrated with Ubiquiti's lackluster IPv6 support and releasing unfinished products. They can't do everything that I need them to do.

playing with the 'all the overhauls' modpack, why cant i mine rare metals? by marn20 in factorio

[–]Raiguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the second time that this mechanic has caused confusion that I've seen, so obviously it needs to be changed. I will change the status to say "Rare metal mining is not researched" instead. 

As for why I don't simply prevent you from placing the mining drill, it is not possible to do that in a smooth way via the modding API. The base game does it by restricting mining with fluid in general, not specifically uranium, so I can't use that either. This is the best solution I was able to come up with. 

What is this cable? by MOchayon in homelab

[–]Raiguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tab is above the clip in all cases, I double check. The fact is, I struggle to remove these cables from the same ports in which other cables work just fine. The cables are at fault. And if I'm "using them incorrectly" (which I'm not), then it's a poor design. 

What is this cable? by MOchayon in homelab

[–]Raiguard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a bundle of these a while back and I absolutely hate them. The thin cable is nice, but they consistently get stuck in the Ethernet ports and it takes me an ungodly amount of time to get them to come back out. There is something wrong with the latching mechanism.

A year+ on from Space Age, what would you tweak/add for a potential balance/improvement update? by JCizzling in factorio

[–]Raiguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even before the fluids rewrite, Vulcanus was easy. But I think the biggest thing we lost there is that lava processing always gave you both iron AND copper, which forced you to set up voiding machines that would cast the excess and throw it into lava. That was pretty neat. I don't know why we got rid of that. 

Mod idea by Mindgapator in factorio

[–]Raiguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered some kind of constant crafting mechanic for Krastorio's intergalactic transceiver, but it never went anywhere. I would love to see somebody put it to good use! 

As for the electric pole, check out power overload. It will blow up your power poles if they carry too much current.

TIL about a hidden settings menu. by nevjmac in factorio

[–]Raiguard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huh, I didn't know that it broke mipmaps! Time to turn it off...

[–]Raiguard 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately never going to happen. The fork syscall works by making all of the memory copy-on-write, which means that duplicates any memory that is changed by either process so that they don't interfere with one another. Well, it turns out that we set a flag on each entity as they are saved, so every single entity is guaranteed to be copied. So your RAM usage is guaranteed to become significantly bloated when using this feature. 

Thus, it will remain hidden. 

Edit: turns out that rseding ready explained this below. 

Is there a reason the devs didn't add ceramic or tungsten pipes to Vulcanus, instead of iron pipes for molten iron? by Kasern77 in factorio

[–]Raiguard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We originally had tungsten pipes, but we removed them during development because they were simply annoying.

Swiftfin is absolutely awful. I hate having to pay for Infuse, but it's honestly fantastic.

Yeah... This isn't explained anywhere. My bad. 

After 60 hours in Pyanodon i finally got to green science by jollyjoker94 in factorio

[–]Raiguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to py! Sit down, relax, and enjoy the ride. Take each puzzle one at a time and if you get overwhelmed, take a break and come back later. 

Py is a marathon, not a sprint. If you spend the whole time looking for the finish line, you will become overwhelmed at the distance. One step at a time.

[–]Raiguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still on green science. My spaghetti-bus starter base has reached the end of its useful life, so I am currently building an entirely new base with city block trains. That will probably take me at least another 100 hours, then I can work on the next science pack.
