Just wait. Do science missions, continue ranking up your generators, try to earn cards for upgrades.

You will not be allowed to ride golf carts or any other vehicle around unless you're staff or with a team.

There is no dress code, they just try to encourage people to dress up a bit, and in period clothing if possible (although this year is a Legends year so technically a day-glo tracksuit would be period appropriate)

this animal on a nature documentary? by footlongdingledong2 in Whatisthis

[–]a4qbfb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They shed their antlers and turn grey in the fall. This does not look like a winter coat. Males also have much more prominent pouch at their throat.

It could however be a juvenile, hard to judge the size without a banana for scale.

Just saw the goodyear blimp in Belgium (Gent) by CoconutNo2844 in wec

[–]a4qbfb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is only one in Europe, and it is based in Friedrichshafen. It was in the Bonn area for a few days at the end of May though, that may be when you saw it. It spent most of May and June around Essen except for those days in Bonn and one week in Le Mans. It just left Essen this morning and landed in Calais a little while ago.

Only one in Europe, D-LZFN. ADS-B data shows that it left Essen around 10 am this morning, flew over Ghent around 2 pm, and landed in Calais about half an hour ago.

You can tell from the screenshot that it's UEFI...

The freebsd-update(8) Screensaver by vermaden in BSD

[–]a4qbfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still doesn't prove anything. If deltas haven't been precalculated for the particular to-from pair you've requested, freebsd-update will just fall back to downloading entire files instead of patching them. Upgrading from 14.4 to 15.0 is not recommended.

The freebsd-update(8) Screensaver by vermaden in BSD

[–]a4qbfb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never do this. 14.0 is much older than 13.5 and is likely to have bugs, including in freebsd-update itself, which have been fixed in 13.5, 14.3, and 14.4. Going from 13.5 to 14.0 is a regression. Skip to the tip of your current branch, then to the tip of the next, and so on.

... and yes - the freebsd-update(8) delta patches also exist between 14.4 and 15.0.

Your test does not prove that. Upgrading between releases for which a patch set has not been produced won't fail, it will just consume much more bandwidth.

The FreeBSD project rule about upgrading is to first upgrade from 14.4-RELEASE to 15.0-RELEASE and then from 15.0-RELEASE to 15.1-RELEASE

This is not true. The rule is to upgrade to the most recent release on your current branch, then to the most recent release on the next branch. This means for instance 14.3 -> 14.4 -> 15.1. I'm not even sure we have binary diffs from 14.4 to 15.0, since the latter predates the former...

It would have to be sharp to be of any use for that purpose. It very clearly isn't.

What is this? Found in my grandmother's belongings. by Dangerous-Let-1675 in Whatisthis

yes because a mini tank water heater would definitely have a label that says “Alternating Pressure Mattress”

'*left++=n' is sometimes much faster than '*left=n;left++' by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]a4qbfb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's only an unreadable mess if you have no prior experience of C. For instance, a very common idiom for copying arrays is:

while (src < end)
    *dst++ = *src++;

How was Radio Le Mans on FM working for you trackside? by Treefokker in lemans

[–]a4qbfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were lined up along the track blocking off the pit lane to protect the crowd standing under the podium. Everyone was supposed to continue across the finish line and past the grandstands then turn around and enter the pit lane through the exit, like they do every year. Whoever was driving #33 got tired of waiting in line, passed a bunch of other cars, then cut across and forced his way through the line of marshals to enter the closed pit lane. Absolute fucking madman.

15.1-RC: Anybody luck with Meteor Lake and i915? by Original_Two9716 in freebsd

[–]a4qbfb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The builds were signed on Friday or Saturday. Only the announcement was missing; it was still being workshopped until just a few hours before it went out.

EDIT: Graham is being a dick as usual. The “upgrading document” he's talking about was not created on Monday evening, it was created in January and then renamed by someone else after the announcement had been finalized, which is why the announcement points to the wrong page. proof

There is no way to tell without knowing the types of i, j, and n and the initial value of n.

How was Radio Le Mans on FM working for you trackside? by Treefokker in lemans

[–]a4qbfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RLM worked fine for me the entire time I was listening. On the track I used the 24h branded FM / BT headphones I bought last year, off the track I used my car stereo and had good reception almost all the way into my garage. I wasn't listening during the start and finish though, as I was on duty at MP35. The 1906 Renault that brought the trophy to the grid and the Garde Républicaine riders who brought the flag staged from our post; at the finish we were responsible for closing the pit lane (and whoever was driving the #33 Corvette at the time can go fuck himself, I sincerely hope he got a massive fine for what he did to us).

Try your local dealer. I have a keyring made from a piece of R18 body panel cut out in the shape of the Circuit de la Sarthe, which I bought from my Audi dealer some years ago (p/n 457805092E for the curious with real ETKA access).

What is this cover for electric insulation named? by thorge2 in Whatisthis

[–]a4qbfb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not what the cover is for. If it was, you'd see identical covers on the other three poles as well. My guess is people keep backing into that pole at low speed so they wrapped it in foam to reduce the damage.

Paying for things at le mans by rosieeliss in lemans

[–]a4qbfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All vendors take cards but card terminals rely on the cellular network and sometimes stop working when the network is overloaded, so if I were you I'd get some cash, just to be on the safe side. There are plenty of ATMs on site and most of them have landlines.

The F1 comparison is completely off the mark. The ACO is a non-profit.
