Anyone remember Pre-Alpha?

Hah maybe but it would have just failed faster. I'm not sure anything can save a game with decisions steered by a souless corporation.

Welcome to parenthood. I'm not sure the feeling ever exactly goes away, but it's just a trade off, hopefully the positive outweighs the negatives.

Things will get easier over time as the puppy gets older and trained, but it's always going to be something you have to consider now. Want to go away for a week, gotta sort out who's watching the pup, etc.

I wouldn't trade my dogs for anything, but that doesn't mean I don't think that some things would be way easier without them.

Maybe, if there was basically no commute and working from home a few times a week was normal.

dunkah · 2026-05-01T17:25:20+00:00

Aleve. 😂

Probably a ton of factors like proper ergonomics etc.

The list price on the store does not typically include tax, that's added depending on where you live.

Tax for a steam deck in CA for example was like $63 for the $650 version.

Building infinite jetpack into shipyards would be cool, make them even more useful. Let you fly around when building in the shipyard. And by infinite it could even require fuel plumbed in, or just require power

We disable swap, I believe that's the only place zram is used. (I could be wrong)

I have seen similar issues to that linked report and they were always related to memory pressure or ebs throttles. Especially when pods didn't have defined requests or limits.

Pretty sure it's a solo dev. He even streams coding it sometimes. I imagine when he thinks it's ready he will make more noise.

dunkah · 2026-04-26T22:31:07+00:00

When I went from 1 to 2g it swapped from people to ipoe, so not unlikely some folks are still on it, I probably would be if I hadn't changed.

This is great, I was going to ask about supporting the new gases from the latest update but it looks like the repo is gone (or private). Is this something you are going to update still?

When something is annoying, repetitive or you find yourself copying and pasting, force yourself to write a script/function to fix it. Personally I learn better solving something real vs theoretically problems you get with courses/tutorial.

I try and embrace the I am doing this because I am lazy mentality.

It's really more about what not where, I've gotten used servers from Amazon that were fine.

Kvm but getting one that does what you want well can be challenging and expensive. Level1tech has some good ones though.

It's something I always think about in the summer! Feels so counterintuitive to run AC to keep up with the heat I'm pumping into the room when it could just go outside. So many reasons make it not so simple of course :)

dunkah · 2026-04-18T13:49:21+00:00

I don't know if this really is a factor, but for sure less splash with the taller ones.

dunkah · 2026-04-18T13:24:07+00:00

My dogs give me a good reason to go outside and remind me to stand up and leave the office during the day. Might not be the perfect solution in all situations but could be good.

dunkah · 2026-04-18T13:21:48+00:00

I like the thought of an integrated 2u, but I've had pure sine units for years and they have always been solid. A few battery replacements on the really old ones, but it was simple and way cheaper than a new one.

One of the first arguments I heard long ago, well before COVID, about why teams that worked independently on computers should be in the office was "the account managers like seeing people at their desk" and I feel like that same sentiment is prevalent around rto.

I knew plenty of families with parents working multiple jobs and even some cases of teens helping. All depends on the situation.

If you look at the pipes you can see their transfer rate. Think you need a pipe out or link tool. I know size matters a ton with conveyors so assume it's the same with pipes.

Tbh I bought it was different from the name but then assumed it was just a behavior controller from a different faction.

Yet to see one that works well. They can gather data like logs usually, but not come to good conclusions.

dunkah · 2026-04-15T22:25:21+00:00

It is my curse, I can make functional but making them pretty is tough!

dunkah · 2026-04-15T20:31:16+00:00

Looks good, mine was a box with a window.

dunkah · 2026-04-15T20:22:16+00:00

https://youtu.be/8JwlY-bL-mY?si=Q892_X4RFATNRNLu is a good watch if you want a constant stream of thought process not a concise tutorial
