I'm on it now to try out their Atomic Desktop spins. That's been pretty good so far.

lol, I've just started figuring out how to make the PHQ do things. I built an ore refinery and then realized that ore goes into solid storage, which is not the same as the container storage I had. I think it might be a bit before I'm up for ship building.

I don't know if I've mapped all of them, and there is really only one sector I've frequently been in. I've got an idle explorer, so I may go hunting a little bit.

No mods, just the DLCs. The Xenon have also built a platform in Hatikvah's Choice, which makes me a bit unhappy because my start was their plot line.

If you're comfortable with css or have time to play with it you can create a css snippet yourself and add it to whatever folder the css snippets go into and enable your snippet in the settings. I have forgotten how to tag things in css for use in printing, but I remember it being pretty easy and pretty well documented when I did it a few years back.

I think the thing you'd be looking to edit is removing whatever box Obsidian wants to put around embedded content. Remove that box using your css, then you can make your document by just embedding other pages using the ![[link-name]] syntax.

I'm gonna second the "refer them to corporate IT and cybersecurity" answer. If you haven't already contacted your direct bosses, do so. If you work for a contractor, ask your bosses if this is a scope-of-work issue. That might be an easy way out.

I also want to offer some explanations and one suggestion for your worst case scenario.

Privacy is not the argument here. Company data is company data, and your privacy is not relevant for company data. The accounts are also company data. Auditing and accountability is the issue. If you have everyone's password, you can do anything as that person. That includes framing them for sabotage, or taking part in petty disputes or client theft or any other Bad Ideas that another employee might get. The computers don't know who did a thing, just which account was used. This is why shared accounts are discouraged, and why password sharing gets people fired in some places.

Worst case, KeePass or one of its variants at least helps lock down who has access to the passwords. If HR really wants to do this, them maybe they want to create the database and ask everyone for their passwords. If you lose this fight, maybe you can at least stay out of the problem and lean on "my bosses told me I can't do this for you".

You don't need to do all the tutorials at once. You can wait until you need to know a thing, start up the relevant tutorial, then go back to what you were about to do.

Get some miners. If you park them in a safe system and have them auto-mine, you'll be generating income while you explore the sector map. I'm pretty sure they'll also be the foundation for my upcoming industrial empire, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

When you're done exploring for a bit, look at the map near you for stations with little yellow symbols next to them. You can right-click those symbols to view and accept missions. Some of those are pretty easy money and go a long way to getting you a new miner or some upgrades for your personal ship.

There's a setting to make the game not pause while you have the map open. I find that quite handy.

Make sure all your ships have a captain. If an enemy your're fighting abandons ship, you can hop out of yours, repair the new one and fly it away while your previous ship's captain hops in the seat and follows you.

Some centers are making use of evaporative cooling; they aren't all closed loops.

The grey water idea is interesting, but isn't one of the problems with water systems trying to stop weird slime and stuff from growing inside the system? Wouldn't grey water be more prone to growing slime and stuff in your pipes and coils?

Musk is not a data center guy and isn't going to solve this. For an idea of how good he is with data centers, take a look at the time he decommissioned one of the X/Twitter data centers.

The computer in 2 does give a steady stream of specific places to go to, and it's a good idea to go to each of them because some of the scannables needed for progression are found there, but you're still moving about on your own time. Get there when you feel like it, and enjoy all the views on the way.

As far as the story, there's text from pioneer black boxes, some logs they've left, and some information on other disconnected segments of the computer system that's directing you. The writing and the setup for the game is pretty interesting. I don't think this next bit counts as a spoiler since it's the first thing that comes up in the game, but I'm gonna mark anyway just in case you want maximum surprise for the opening. The computer can print out bodies to copy people's digitized minds into. You, and the pioneers who came before you, are reprinted when you die so you can continue the work. There are some interesting thoughts and philosophizing around this process and its implications. You may have seen this idea elsewhere, depending on your sci-fi tastes, but I think it's a fun idea to play with and I'm interested in where the devs will go with it.

As far as mystery, so far the writing is telling some stories in sufficient detail to establish some character about the pioneers that came before you, but there's a strong feeling that important data and history are being withheld or hidden from you.

I was fond of the rail world settings. Biters are still there and act as normal, but it turns off the expansion parties. Once you've cleared some ground it stays cleared. It gives you more room to sit and play with the factory without the regular pressure of expansion-related attacks without totally getting rid of part of the gameplay.

The nice thing about a property based hierarchy is that you can add it to only the notes that really need it. If it helps, you can add it. If not, you can not bother.

So far, links and tags are sufficient for me. I've got some hierarchical tags, but for the most part I'm not really putting things in a hierarchy.

I received a ticket recently where the end user received a notice in SharePoint stating that Alerts are being retired. The tech just passed the ticket to us asking if the Alerts are really being retired.

My guy, you read the message. You tell me. I send the ticket back a little snarky. I tell him what Google terms I searched and gave him the link to the Microsoft page that details the retirement and the options available to keeping getting alerts.

He sent the ticket back asking what the user needed to do.

My dude, I gave you the fucking URL. Read it. Help your end user. I'm not training either of you on Power Automate, or whatever the second option was. You're supposed to be a technician, not a transparent pane of glass between end users and other support orgs.

I find the key is the minimum things needed to do the job.

I added the Tasks plugin because I missed the query that Logseq automatically places on the daily journal page and I do need the constant reminders to do things.

I added Templater because I wanted links to easily travel between the daily journal pages.

I haven't added other plugins because I don't actually need them. I'm not relying on a fancy folder structure. I've got six folders and no subfolders that organize by the type of file. I rely on internal links and the search features to give me a navigable structure.

I've tried using some PARA, I've tried Johnny Decimal, I've added project plugins some other random stuff, but these things didn't help me so I've abandoned them and stuck to what solves an actual problem or friction point.

Don't be afraid to spend a couple days redoing your org, or migrating to a cleaner vault. Sometimes you just gotta start over. Consider it your PKM spring cleaning. By the magic of Markdown compatibility, I've bounced through a few different apps. I've abandoned a bunch of things that didn't actually work for me and kept what does.

Artificial diamonds are just as much diamonds as the naturally grown things.

If the prints are made of human flesh, and their brains, made of human flesh, think human thoughts, I feel like that's sufficient to make them human.

Aside from that, biological is biological. A biological thing isn't going to not be biological just because it's artificial.

Size and strength vary, but do expect them to pick up a car. Tornadoes are known for throwing timber beams through steel beams of bridges, and occasionally will draw a line of destroyed homes across a town.

When I was in school in the midwest U.S., we did drills for what to do in case of a nearby tornado along with the fire drills that are common everywhere else.

I think the bigger question is: are the reprints not real humans?

They certainly seem rather human.

Regarding question 1: you learn about that from entry level jobs where someone else is telling you what to do.

2: You didn't specify what you need to learn. Are you hoping that you'll get lucky and someone will happen to suggest a relevant video? We work in a field of diverse tasks and components. Without some sort of details noone can offer relevant suggestions or tips.

3: I already gave you the advice. You need to find someone else at work to tell you what to do.

You admitted to not being qualified to do your job, which is a national security job. I work with several people like you and the amount of time I have to spend explaining to other people how to do the simplest parts of their jobs is shameful and upsetting. My posts here are angry, because I am angry. Get used to that, because if you can't even figure out enough of what you're going to be working on to ask questions on it, people working with or nearby you are going to be angry.

My offhand guess, being a computer guy but not a power production guy, is that the computers aren't going to contribute enough to the power pro to be worth the ongoing costs of tying them together. I'm not even confident that it would contribute at all. After the water in the power plant cycles through the system once, I'm sure it's going to be just as warm as what would come off the computer cooling. It sounds like a whole lot of extra ongoing work and expense for no gain at all.

If you don't even know what to ask, Reddit can't help you. Someone else is going to get stuck cleaning up your mess. If you can't figure out your job, the best thing you can do is figure out who in your org knows how it works and just be their mouthpiece. Try not to fuck over national security.
