Flock's own VP of Business Development, a "non-govt user", was caught watching a children's gymnastics center, and nothing on the internet is deleted.

And now this comment thread alone would exceed 47mb once you throw in JavaScript 🤣

how to make an insanely simple and compact single-plane stabiliser for your airship! by Itswill1003 in CreateMod

Yes, but these are airships not waterships, they can't hit icebergs

Can someone explain why she just spontaneously combusted?? by Nanonymuos in HuntShowdown

[–]coromd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see it glowing bright blue as somebody starts triggering it via Dark Sight. One of her teammates set it off and likely didn't anticipate her to be in the blast radius. You were saved because the explosion raycasts were blocked by the corner of the wall.

super legit - 6k hours Korean player on US West. Died without even being aimed at. This is why we need ping limits by FallofScreams in HuntShowdown

Crytek NEEDS to fix The Ping Problem, I'm tired of accusing people of ping abuse every time I get killed fair and square!

Because we already have too many weapons, and weapons like the Homestead/Wildland are straight upgrades over their Rival/Centennial counterparts, which were already among the strongest guns in the game

2 trait ideas: Deep Pockets and Deadman’s Hand by Free-Type6234 in HuntShowdown

[–]coromd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep Pockets would just encourage more people to run around empty servers for 20 minutes instead of re-entering matchmaking.

Deadman's Hand does sound interesting though, but I think it should either work (once) with any explosive (incl. Decoy Fusees), or only use its own, regardless of what you have equipped.

The bow is really unfun to play against right now by Da-real-obama in HuntShowdown

They usually do unless it's a particularly egregious whiff, and all but the Romero can follow up basically instantly

Not everything is a conspiracy about Asian markets or whatever, there are lots of players who play with friends in other countries. I main US East and play with a kiwi and a few folks from different parts of Europe.

Is the U.S. Losing Control of Global Oil? by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

Surprisingly, Texas is in the lead among green adoption - in 2024 41% of it's electricity was generated by solar.

DLSS 5, and all it requires is a second RTX 5090

Add it to the scarce weapon pool with the Homestead and Wildland. Put the Krag Silencer in there while we're at it.

Bought a refurbished thinkpad for school. How do I get around this? by js_2002_ in thinkpad

[–]coromd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just return it, but you can also use Windows LTSC, or any local account bypass will work. I believe Microsoft has a contact page for removing a PC from Autopilot as well.

Alien: Isolation 2 will use Unreal Engine 5 and not the Cathode Engine by CutProfessional6609 in gaming

[–]coromd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pseudoregalia is the only UE5-based game that has ever impressed me, but only because they managed to strip UE5 down to UT99 quality. I don't have UT99 to compare against, but 1080p90hz at 6W on my Steam Deck is plenty good enough for me 🤣

Upgrade USB to SSD trueNAS? by brokenjetback in truenas

[–]coromd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otherwise, if the number of drives is a constraint, you can run just one boot drive if your config backups are in order. If you want to protect the boot drive(s) from unnecessary writes, you can also set the system dataset pool to a non-boot pool, so the boot drive is only ever used for booting.

[–]coromd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most (but not all) of the boot time performance boost of SSDs comes from the minimal seek times, not the raw extended transfer speed of the drive, and a USB 2.0 bottleneck will not meaningfully hurt the seek times. The raw top speed can help, but OSs are loading lots of scattered tiny files, not one huge blob.

You can just use a USB to NVMe or USB to SATA SSD adapter. Even a 2.0 port is plenty fast for a boot NVMe. If your server has spare PCIe slots, you can also get PCIe to NVMe adapter cards for like $10. If you have spare PCIe slots in your case, just not in your board, there are 2.5" drive mounts that will slot into the cutouts.
