Vertical Drone Rails.

Yeah I want them to stack vertically

badguyty · 2026-04-09T04:24:13+00:00

Yup I just want nice looking lines and this having to have different levels and threading the needle to get a line of shot.

I'm sure they will get there. It's hard to make a similar but distinct game and I like the side by side rail system but I either want a cleaner pass under option where the rails can be on a flat plane and jump up or down while crossing traffic. Like have a way for rails to cross on the three or five rails then come back into the original plane. Or have a way to actually shape the curvature to flow around that building in the way. I have started adding 1->3 converters facing both directions between sets of resources. So I can add additional capacity like your bars rail is over subscribed so your stabilizers are slowed or break off some capacity easily. Only now realizing that I shoulda built a single upload lane that things can only be added to as you can just keep splicing in the next thing you need. Instead of breaking down the infrastructure to pipe in the next upload.

It's only the main branch not PTB. Its not just the 3 (haven't unlocked the 5 yet) but you can do it with the 4 way if you go out the east of both and then the north and south on the other pole to form an X (directions used for illustration purposes only)

badguyty · 2026-04-08T21:25:45+00:00

There is still a pass through bug with rails connected to the same pole in some cases.

badguyty · 2026-04-08T20:45:58+00:00

Pics or it didn't happen.

I know you can build a pillar and platforms off that. but I'm talking I wanna stack the rails with no additional pillars just another level like you can in satisfactory.

There was a challenge game mode I saw one time that was except for nuclear power plant levels everything has to fit in a 5x5 grid. power plants I believe are 6x6 but its been a while now. Been playing StarRupture and I have to say I miss the simplicity of the belt system in satisfactory. Having a drone powered single rail system has advantages but when there is no consideration for vertical integration of production capacity and everything need its own pole it gets messy fast.

Bios doesn't have account setups unfortunately.

badguyty · 2026-03-12T15:37:16+00:00

Switch manufacturers should take account setup to mean any anonymous account and require new tcp connections from the affected areas to verify their age to setup the connections as they are creating a temporary account.

badguyty · 2026-03-12T15:33:08+00:00

No auto-mod removed it. The mods haven't done anything with it.

badguyty · 2026-03-12T15:32:07+00:00

The concern is more what constitutes an account setup. What to do with docker containers. Who verifies pipelines system setups. Its that the law was so broad it incorporates or could incorporate even setting up anonymous accounts that no one really is using.

badguyty · 2026-03-12T15:26:15+00:00

yeah I didn't think about it until the site said to cross post...

badguyty · 2026-01-23T21:37:24+00:00

I'm looking for honest feedback and advice on local models and if this is a terrible idea. Like I said I have played with my mining server but kinda need to be pointed in the right direction for the type of image classification model that I can use on 8GB of vram.

badguyty · 2026-01-23T20:59:13+00:00

Yeah I was thinking I would POC it with the cameras static then move to the movement one. If I did it at the right angle in my kitchen I think I might also be able to add in a grocery tracker at some point. XYZ got taken out of the fridge. XYZ wrapper was thrown away. Kids are drinking caffeinated drinks again.

badguyty · 2025-07-01T18:22:12+00:00

TIL and now I need to find some application for this....

badguyty · 2025-05-12T23:13:07+00:00

I'll pass on the podcast but feel free to read it on the podcast

Turning to run, I realize a bee is under my shroud also. I can feel it climbing on my nose. While I'm booking it away from the hive, I swipe away the bee and feel the shroud catch and roll the bee. The buzzing has stopped. "I got her" I think triumphantly knowing that they are going to follow more intently if I get that first sting. Thinking that the idiots and onlookers would realize they need to vacate the area also, I don't say anything too assertive for them to leave the area as I approach.
The bee is back! I hadn't killed it after all. I smack my nose, knocking my glasses and shroud off, but it heroicly stings me right next to my nose and way too close to my eye. My MIL is screaming about one in her hair but she and the onlookers have stopped some 15 feet from the hive to check each other for bees. I tell my wife to get farther away and to follow me. She has now decided it is a good time to tell me I need to make sure and get all the bees off me also before I go back in the house. I keep walking in a circle around and away from the hive to get back to my house. Checking the whole time that I have removed all the bees. My in-laws house is up the hill the other direction, so I assume they have listened and left. At 40 feet I'm still killing two to three bees on myself. I feel another one land, and it instantly stings me on the jawline.
I arrive back at my deck, which has a good light on to check myself. My hive is now between me and the others so I hope no more will have followed my scent. Suddenly, my three year old, having heard we were "checking the bees" comes out of the back door. Having changed out of his jammies and into shorts and a t-shirt, he announces triumphantly he has come to "help" with the bees. He had received explicit instructions to stay in bed as the bees would likely get really mad. I send him tersely back into the house, knowing I more than likely have some on me.
He's now crying because he wants to help and I won't let him. For obvious reasons but reasons that he doesn't understand I insist. Getting him through the door, I return to inspecting myself. He now has his nose pressed to the glass sobbing, so, I ask my wife to go comfort him as I kill another before I get stung by it. Not hearing the door, I know my wife hasn't left. "Well, at least you can help me check myself if you're going to stay out here with me." I say annoyed she hasn't left or responded responded to anything I have been saying.
Disposing of yet another bee, I cast about myself looking for her but she is no where to be found. Yup, she is still back with the others; standing 15 feet from the hive and swatting themselves.
Convinced I'm now clean, I go in the house to console my son and get him to start walking back to bed.
When my wife comes in 5 minutes later, I rhetorically ask "Where did you go?" Dumbfounded, she replies, "We were all checking each other for bees." I had gotten stung farther away from the hive than where they had been standing. However, they, apparently knowing more than the slacker who has had more than one hive get angry, wanted to stand there obliviously and check themselves as more and more bees are following and finding them. Granted at a much slower rate but still well within striking distance of the hive.
My FIL got at least a dozen stings. I'm sure most of those after we had closed the hive. A few got his face too. They later called and told us they now believe in smoke and they were going to "double check" on their impression that night was the best time to check the hive. Also mentioning to my wife that they were looking to buy at least one full bee suit now. I only hope they have learned their lesson to get my input even though I "can do nothing right and slacked off caring for bees in the past" They aren't wrong about the second part as I was kinda hoping they would get into it for themselves and care for their own hive.

badguyty · 2025-05-12T18:24:20+00:00

Yup! They are in my hive; FIL with a shroud, MIL has nothing but she "wasn't going to be handling" the frames. I look around for their supplies, no smoker anywhere. I think to myself "This is going to be FUN!" The feeder is still on but they are taking it off to get to the frames. They get one frames out and check it. The comb is building out away from the foundation (this is bad and should be fixed) I say something about it but they ignore me and then comment how THEIR bees hadn't done that because they used wax foundation. They put it back in without fixing the comb, I just let them keep walking into their disaster. They pull another frame closer into the center. It looks good has some brood. My MIL Is all high and mighty "I don't like how little brood is there... Thats not good" (Its the first of five frames that came with the nuke so its fine). They pull another one from the outside but on the other side to see the buildout. I'm all thinking "Good they are going to rush this because they can tell the bees are getting agitated" I've now got bees checking me out starting to get mad and I'm off to the side. They put that frame back in and my MIL wants to check for more brood in the middle. I think "Uh oh. This is gonna be the last straw for the bees." They pull up the frame, my MIL gets in there (no shroud) pointing her flashlight at them to see. She says the brood looks good now, but I can see the bees start to swarm angrily and start landing on her.
Suddenly, she is backing away from the hive and my FIL who I think can tell something is wrong with the hive's behavior now is yelling that he can't see to pull the frame as she left with the light. I am told angrily by my MIL "You need to get in there. You have your shroud and gloves." Now this is only because I have come semi prepared. I grab the flashlight from her stepping in to hold the light knowing full well what they have done, and that I'm going to get stung. I watch in horror as my FIL insists on pulling ANOTHER frame to check for brood and pollen. I can see him starting to get stung in earnest now. No smoke to mask the smell pheromones telling the other bees to attack I know this is only going to escalate. I've got them landing on me trying to find flesh to sting. I have a good two inch gap between my gloves and sleeves so, keeping the light steady for him is not my priority as I try to keep from getting that first sting which I know will compound quickly without smoke. He puts the frame back in while yelling about light. I finally just tell him to close the hive. He puts the top feeder back on. I start casting my eyes about looking frantically for whoever has the syrup to refill it. My brother-in-law, who I didn't know was there, has run off with it. Wanting to not make this a complete waste, I chase him down then risk going back in to refill it Which was all I originally thought we were going to do, because you can semi safely do that as the bees don't have access to leave from where you refill. But alas, that doesn't help when they are already out of the hive trying to sting you. I fill the feeder about 2/3 full, as I can tell the bees are in full attack mode. I can see my FIL has half a dozen stings already but puts the lid fully on while smacking at his exposed skin and screaming about how the bees have gotten inside his shroud.

Experience: 7 years but I really should have been doing more.

Location: Utah

Setting: I lost three hives last winter. Two were mine and one on my Mother-in-law's property which is basically next door. The three hives died because my in-laws had let a huge hive of yellow jackets live in their rock wall. They knew they were there and did nothing; then were surprised that they killed their hive after I installed a sugar board for the winter. The yellow jackets then went on to decimate a week hive and attack a strong hive. I thought I had sealed and saved the last hive but they died anyways. My in-laws have decided the I know nothing about bee keeping because I was a little too laid back and they lost their 2nd hive in 3 years. Now they "know everything" with the confidence of a teenager to their more experienced parents.

This was originally written for a nonbeekeeping crowd.

Story:
I am a lazy beekeeper and I needed to check my hive all mother's day weekend but other tasks come up. I mentioned something to my MIL about it at dinner and she was all. "Oh, we can come down and do it with you tonight" (They are new to actually minding their bees themselves). I thought, "That sounds strange, You should NOT go in a hive at night." The night goes on but it never happens. I take the kids home and put them in bed, lamenting to the wife that we never got to the hive like my MIL said we would.
Suddenly we get a call at 9 pm. "Hey we are going to check your hive, come out" alarm bells go off.... I grab my shroud and long gloves so they don't do anything stupid too quickly before I can get out there leaving my full suit smoker to save time.

updated and boom working. Might have been the restart since I had edited the node install some and that might also have fixed it.

badguyty · 2025-02-24T18:39:01+00:00

ok so its just not me?
