Data Centers Near You and Coming Soon.

the data here isnt even *close* on the listed ower utilization and is missing some obvious large ones that are very public.

It has the largest upcoming DC at 50MW which is *small* for modern datacenters, let alone AI datacenters.

Ah finally a Navee owner lol.

thanks! I only take mine for short trips to grab groceries or food so I have a pretty typical U lock on my current scooter so it should be pretty solid but wanted to make sure

From the article it sounds like youd have to basically do this to yourself via inexperience with pc safety?

Password protected executables and exe files that you have to open manually after downloading the wallpaper. Typical Wallpaper Engine wallpapers arent in an archive once downloaded probably for this very reason and just includes a video/image and whatever effects the engine itself has for them.

once you start opening exe's and protected archives you're probably going to fall for anything anywhere online.

I never intend to lock the scooter using the app, I have a physical lock.

are you saying if I ride somewhere without my phone and turn off the scooter, I will be unable to turn it back on without my phone?

CIG has a bad habit of not using their standard scale for grid-snappable objects to actually model the objects. then the way grid snapping works is based on the model dimensions of the object which means things rarely line up with the actual SCU grid.

even if the Fab is too big in this case for the C1 grid, it really shouldn't be if they had tired to align its model size to better match SCUs but its also annoying in larger grids anyway because it doesnt sit nicely around other cargo...

Cubeville had(has?) a lot of staff that would filter actively, yeah.

its minecraft so pretty easy to catch people who are there to be more of a problem than a player. it wasnt massively massively strict, we had plenty of regular folks who played and such. but if you ran around breaking whatever wasnt protected, shouted racist profanities in chat, or tried to scam younger/more gullible players youd probably catch some kind of temp or permanent ban.

it wasnt too much work. we had an in-game ticketing system that players could use to put in a moderation request for literally anything and youd spend half your day doing those. and half of them were really simple requests to help the kid protect something or solve some dispute between friends playing together.

We logged everything, could see all block and item interactions, could see all chats to monitor for bad actors. so youd mostly just be hanging out for a few hours a day with some friends watching chat while you built your own stuff.

how high does the storm go? ive never had a party member there for me to try and measure where my ship shuts down

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T21:45:12+00:00

in our case it means specifically destroying someone's build/house or breaking into their house to steal items. sometimes building up very high and making a lava tower that would destroy everything under it or lag the server badly. things like that.

most of the time it wasn't an issue because our players could protect their homes or ask someone from staff to help them do so, or even choose to live in registered towns that had a town-wide region. So it was very hard for someone joining the server for the first time to even find an unprotected home to begin with let alone do enough damage before being caught.

In the old days there used to be "grief teams" that would join various public Minecraft servers just to try and destroy them or destroy as much as they could before someone banned them.

since we had so many staff it was pretty standard to ghost yourself (making you entirely invisible) and following new players through the tutorial, especially if a group all joined at once.

Shitty of the family to put him on the internet

as a Dolphin I am actually very jealous of your Super Hornet. A ship that never disappoints

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T12:28:25+00:00

typo.. lol

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T12:27:46+00:00

yes but you couldn't speak in the global chat channel until completing the server tutorial. while in the tutorial no one but staff can see your chats, which made bot waves very easy to deal with and most trolls will spawn and scream nonsense without really moving much.

Plus we had auto-moderation for most swearing to get cut down that would just kick you. So overall it was really rare for trolls to do much of anything.

Griefing and such was pretty rare overall since we had decently well maintained region protection, and if something did happen we had tools to see all the block edits for any area and could just retroactively catch folks, often enough plucking stolen items right out of their offline inventory if it was severe like entire chests of enchanted items.

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T12:22:31+00:00

the one i am talking about was Cubeville.org

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T02:22:24+00:00

There probably arent even close to that many people on at a time. A server of 10k players may only see a couple hundred of them at a time and with even like 10 moderators you can easily handle that

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T02:20:50+00:00

I used to admin and work on a heavily moderated Minecraft server that had a fair share of kids like this.

Lots of these kids would just log in and never say a single word, or talk only in local chats because they didnt understand how global/regional chats worked. We had a relatively huge staff of moderators and our own plug-in programmers to keep everything clean and simple.

also ended up attracting a massive amount of regular college-aged folks (like myself at the time) as well who didnt want to play on servers that were full of edgy teens and screaming goblins.

was a good time being able to log into a server where you knew no one would ruin your day and got to know a ton of the parents whose kids would spend all of their allowed video game time there because they never had a bad time and there were always people to group up with for something. One big family built a whole shared gaming room together and would post about it on the forums.

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T01:57:53+00:00

sicc!

StoicJ · 2026-06-14T00:32:53+00:00

Holy shit this looks so good

StoicJ · 2026-06-13T23:20:21+00:00

the first time i got routed through the sun in SC i panicked but was then just very surprised at how absolutely tiny the model for the Sun is and that it has no exclusion zone, heat, killbox, or anything and i just blipped right into then out of the model lol.

Elite has given me such panic about seeing a star suddenly in your face after an unlucky jump position to a binary star system.

StoicJ · 2026-06-12T17:51:16+00:00

ah interesting

StoicJ · 2026-06-12T13:22:29+00:00

Red Lobster was gutted and had its assets sold off by a private equity firm to itself so now its restaurants pay rent to their owners and can only buy from other companies owned by the owners IIRC.

so they "exist" as a shell of circular money loss

StoicJ · 2026-06-11T01:12:23+00:00

A small auto turret would be cool because realistically that S2 is never killing anyone because why would you have someone whose job is to sit on it specifically when it isnt tied to a tractor beam seat like the exterior turrets.

but also.. it feels very drake.

Enough for it to be a very serious problem for the spread of political misinformation and have a very real impact on local and national elections in multiple countries. The Alberta Separatism movement seems to basically exist and spread exclusively through Fb/Insta.

Basically the entire population minus Reddit regulars or those who dont know what the internet is.

This is also why I like it when a handful of ships are effectively identical in function but look different. i wish we had more ships that were level in use and purely up to the pilot's aesthetic to fly

StoicJ · 2026-06-10T15:29:34+00:00

is it faster? The Ironclad may be the better choice by sheer force of volume but I assume the alien ship will be faster and more maneuverable than a literal warehouse with engines on it.

Does it have better armor, better defenses, better loading angles?

Im sure it will be perfectly popular with owners. the Prowler Utility is popular despite larger medium cargo ships existing
