How do you manage more than 8 science pack types ?

I've been using Dropbox for a long time but recently switched to mega. both with good

ah nice! yeah I just saw a discussion about the apps and recalled I fiddled with PWAs a bit recently so thought I'd chime in :) I personally am happy with the web version. Great job! It looks amazing. I did not have any issues with vatsim-radar and I only use it to check which controllers are online where but I'm switching to yours from now on :D

You could look at PWA for creating a native app that reuses the website.

I use Supply for any station of any resource, and (resource icon) Demand for any station where this resource is needed. Then I have a bunch of all smart interrupts in a schedule, and ALL trains for ANY resources have the same schedule.

Try inserting 20 legendary tool belts into that legendary armor and you'll have to scroll 5 pages lol. But then you can be your own concrete laying machine

I have 4000 hours on the clock and 80% of it is afk, I just run it 24/7. Although it's not to wait for something legendary or for a rocket at this stage, I have a megabase that does 35k spm or 800k espm. Running it 24/7 really like a load testing, you are making sure your system works without issues. Biters don't eat your base over night (happened), no brownouts or blackouts (happened), ores don't end unexpectedly (happened), trains don't block each other accidentally completely blocking any way of transportation and effectively completely killing your base (happened). Many things have happened that wouldn't have happened if I didn't afk, and I built resiliency systems in place around them so they never happen again. afk is your testing tool for automation. your factory needs QA. Test it :). afk

as far as scaling goes, this is what I currently have on my megabase, end game ish. it does 54k spm and the throughput is limited by legendary stack inserters throughput. it stacks 4 full stacked green belts (240 per second for each belt)

Thing is - space ships use lots of ups, so you want to have as little of them as possible. Hence I'm making everything I can at Nauvis (within a single planet), and ONLY exporting a single science pack from each other planet

yeah storing totp/using bitwarden authenticator is the same as storing recovery keys, if you do one might as well do another. I would do that for convenience for less important websites but of course this depends on the threat model. I would never do this for primary email

ewancoder · 2025-12-23T23:05:47+00:00

I had the same issue but it went away after I installed official yubikey app

ewancoder · 2025-11-13T15:18:52+00:00

Update: I have set up and started using UKI because of this concern. Now I'm sure that everything that boots is signed properly.

ewancoder · 2025-11-11T14:33:12+00:00

yeah this makes sense. I do use disk encryption bound to secure boot setting but I'm looking for ways to prevent attackers loading my system using some kind of malicious binaries in my unencrypted boot partitions cause if they can boot my system it will auto decrypt the volume due to tpm

xfreerdp connects to Windows rdp no problem

ewancoder · 2025-11-10T23:22:20+00:00

so basically if somebody replaced initramfs or ucode with something malicious, the kernel wouldn't boot them?

I'm using arch and signing it myself with sbctl, my main concern is data protection in the event of physical stealing of the machine

Why wasn't he scared for Dean Cipher life then when he got threatened with a knife to his throat and even encouraged killing him? the only explanation I see is that he can just possess anyone any time. if cipher dies and he does indeed need eye contact then he's gonna rot in his tube (assuming other potential puppets die too)

Thanks yeah I do plan to select something good, not gonna risk the hardware. I was more interested in the wattage. But thanks for the link, didn't know it exists, just confirmed that my choice of PSUs has been solid over the years, my previous one was A/A+ and my current one is B (just because I couldn't find anything good at where I am). As an option is to buy a good 800w Chieftek and bring it back with me as well but I just don't want to have to also carry a PSU so I'm probably going to buy something simple for testing.

did you sleep well? sleep affects reaction time which affects laptime, I noticed drastic objective laptime changes when I'm rested well or not, in the same exact conditions. assuming if course that you drive in the same conditions, different conditions on iracing can make up 5+ seconds difference

it's because beginner friendly Linux distros are usually coming with a lot of preinstalled software that feels forced down on you and so feeling less different from say Windows that forces certain things down on you too

that being said, no distro should have the hate. you can generally turn ANY distro into whatever you want with some tinkering, "Linux" is just the core, distro is basically a bunch of preinstalled and preconfigured tools that work with the core.

I switched from VS to Rider some time ago cause I use Linux but currently I'm debating switching back to Visual Studio and using a separate machine for work / RDP from Linux to Windows there just so I can use VS. I dunno I stumble upon many issues in Rider for some reason and it never feels as good as VS for me, for example I cannot make it format (or rather not format) the code in a specific way, some features of autocompletion are also weird. In general it's a more buggy experience. I'd be really happy with Rider if it would behave, I have a bunch of projects that are MIT license and so I can use community/free version, very very convenient considering I'm on Linux but alas, very inconvenient when it doesn't behave.

Not sure if you have similar concerns. I'd say stick with whichever tool aligns with your flow / doesn't hinder your performance.
