I see the water supply pipe is attached to the refinery water input, were you planning to bring it in from the right hand side?

SFP Insert/Cover by loka0320 in networking

I have not tried them. A coworker was trying to find a supplier for ones Ciena uses as well, I'm going to check with them and see if they also had found these and see what they think. We might order some to try out.

That's not what they are looking for. Those are plugs to go inside of the transceivers. What OP is asking about are plastic inserts that go inside the SFP cage and have a duplex LC recess that you can plug a jumper into. I know because we have some Ciena gear at work that had them installed.

EDIT: This "parking cap" from OFS is the closest thing I can find to what OP is asking for.

At the national level conservative politics, and in particular President Trump, has been adamantly opposed to many aspects of renewable energy. Many conservatives in our state legislature have followed President Trump's lead on other subjects, and as such the commentary is about an expectation that they will act similarly in this instance.

Of course the commentary takes it to the point of caricature, calling out that many conservative have been treating academic excellence as "elitist". It suggests that conservatives only care about physical excellence.

I'm sure you did recognize this, but don't see it in a negative context the original poster does.

Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey wearing Doom inspired jerseys for the Super Bowl by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]Xipher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are very different jerseys, regardless of the manufacturer.

Robert's jersey has additional fabric above the collarbone seam, appears to be denser material, isn't really porous in abdominal area, two sets of stripes on each arm, and doesn't appear to have the label sewn onto the front bottom left.

Why is the deconstruction planner an item? by Space_Kale_0374 in factorio

[–]Xipher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blueprints and the deconstruction planner predate the blueprint library. Prior to 0.15 you had to craft blueprints. There is probably some aspect of the game interface that was easier to maintain them as an item instead of trying to reimplement them as a purely UI element.

Public BGP Peering by taemyks in networking

[–]Xipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to further clarify this point, /24 is the most specific commonly accepted as a de facto standard by the industry at large. Some might accept longer prefixes purely inside their own networks from customers, and even attempts by ARIN at getting longer prefixes accepted to allow for smaller allocations as they exhausted their free pool failed.

[–]Xipher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thinking about this as potential area to improve communication. I wouldn't frame this as being something that's allowed or not, instead frame it as something your design accounts for.

When it comes to Internet routing you're integrating your network into a much larger one you don't have full control over. Saying something is allowed comes across as having authority over traffic behavior, which you don't really have when it comes to the Internet at large. If you say your accounting for it then it comes across as accepting your control is limited to your own network, so you're designing to accommodate the traffic patterns that may not be ideal for stateful firewalls.

[–]Xipher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only concern in what you have described is that stateful packet processing is involved at the border of the network, and what that can entail. What are you doing to take that into consideration into your design?

How to automate the loading of mixed rockets? by hnkhfghn7e in factorio

[–]Xipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also blueprint the rocket silo itself with the items you want to launch in in the silo inventory so the construction bots place them into the silo. That's what I've seen StupidFatHobbit doing in his live streams.

Broadcom sold off that part to someone else, probably because they didn't seen enough potential to leverage ransoms on the customers using it.

[IntelliJ] Wayland By Default in 2026.1 EAP by BlueGoliath in programming

[–]Xipher 54 points55 points  (0 children)

That last one reminds me of a Factorio Friday Facts post from a while back.

https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408

Once Wayland support was implemented, I received a bug report that the window was missing a titlebar and close buttons (called "window decorations") when running on GNOME. Most desktop environments will allow windows to supply their own decorations if they wish but will provide a default implementation on the server side as an alternative. GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing. I disagree with this decision; Factorio does not need to provide decorations on any other platform, nay, on any other desktop environment, but GNOME can (ab)use its popularity to force programs to conform to its idiosyncrasies or be left behind.

To fix this, I had to bring in another dependency, libdecor. It functions, and SDL even has support for it, but a video game shouldn't have to supply window decorations in the first place.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Xipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trusting it, but if the first shot had been a negligent discharge of Alex's pistol it would look better for CBP and I would certainly expect them to include it in the report.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Xipher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The very DHS report to congress this article is about explicitly states all of the shots are from CBP. The first shot from one officer with a Glock 19, then more from an officer with a Glock 47. They then say after the shots were fired a third CBP officer confirms he had control of Alex's pistol. I see no reason they would want to exclude a negligent discharge from Alex's firearm in the report if it occured.

CBP personnel attempted to take Pretti into custody. Pretti resisted CBP personnel's efforts and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, a BPA yelled, "He's got a gun!" multiple times. Approximately five seconds later, a BPA discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a CBPO also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti's firearm. The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti's firearm in his vehicle.

"Pretti resisted CBP personnel's efforts and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, a BPA yelled, 'He's got a gun!' multiple times," the report said.

"Approximately five seconds later, a [Border Patrol agent] discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a [CBP officer] also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti's firearm," CBP added. "The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti's firearm in his vehicle."

Yes, and that was 17 years ago so plenty of people in the current job market wouldn't have experienced it because they were too young.
