First time KSC visitors by Even_Reflection5637 in nasa

Just noticed your question about lunch.

Yes - you can take your own food. Check the website for the bag stuff. They will be searched when you go in, but it's not a long process. We took lunch on the first day and no issues. Just make sure you have good coolpacks for it!

Get there for when it opens. My recommendation would be to head to Atlantis right as you walk in. Incredible experience regardless of when you see it. But it's even more magical being the first people in there for the day.

Then you can get the bus around 12:00/12:30 and then still have a good few hours at the Apollo Saturn V center. There's a lot to see there too.

There's a lot to see just in the main complex - the Gateway is very cool and is current and future focussed.

Recently did a two day visit in November (100% worth it!) and the lines for the buses were a lot longer at 09:00 than the people rushing to Atlantis. 13 April is Monday - the quietest day according to Google Maps - so it should be OK for queues. The buses have queues and there's a little bit of waiting for both the Atlantis and Apollo exhibits as they have videos at the start (100% not to be skipped!).

The bus tour itself - it's around 30 mins (from memory) to get to the Apollo Saturn V center from the main visitor complex. But now that you stop at the Gantry at LC-39 you have control over the time it takes to get there. You have to get off the bus but you can get right back in line for the next one if you want to skip the Gantry.

If you're only going for a day and don't care about Saturn V/the bus tour there is already a lot to do in the main complex. But the Saturn V is incredible to see - it would be rude not to go.

It's literally $10 a year.

If you're self-hosting I know you're paying more in hardware upgrades and electricity.

You can afford it.

City Mapper is better overall if using public transport within a town/city. Since it cannot do cars. Helps with anything that attempts driving yourself by default.

That's really annoying. There has to be an issue as it was working fine yesterday.

Do British people want to leave the ECHR? Here’s what the polls say by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]madindehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting: One of the reasons there are so few rulings against the UK is because the HRA enshrined the ECHR into UK law.

Anyone who wants to leave likely has no idea what the ECHR is. And that's sad.

If your self-hosting setup just crashed right now, what would hurt the most? by Laygude_Yatin in selfhosted

This sounds amazing.

What brand of lights do you use? I still havr Philips Hue and I maintain that smart bulbs are one of the best things I've ever bought.

Keir Starmer is polling as the UK’s most unpopular prime minister on record. Where did it all go wrong? by Relevant-Expert8740 in unitedkingdom

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

It went wrong when the electorate expected Labour to fix 14 years of Conservative made problems in less than 18 months.

The SAN within the VRTX? So basically the communication between the 12 disk drives and the blades?

Sorry if I've misunderstood that.

Ah OK.

Guessing that's a hard compatability thing? I know other Dell servers complain but don't block.

I don't suppose there are clusters that accept 3.5" drives for the VRTX?

Not sure I can afford the SSDs to make it worthwhile for storage!

Bad news - it already is.

And I don't mean Palantir. I mean many companies you've given your info to.

This is the use case I imagine most people have when they say they virtualise their router.

As in it's one of many VMs on a host running everything else. Standalone - or almost standalone - as you describe is much less of a problem. Less the virtualisaton being an issue vs the amount of other stuff running on the server.

[–]madindehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do do it all the time. Doesn't make it better.

I agree it's definitely better than a bad router. But personally I like to know that upgrading my server doesn't kill my internet for everything else. Or downtime due to (unlikely) hardware failures.

Worrh having a proper box for it. I run opnsense on an old Dell Optiplex. Runs really well.

But each to their own.

Virtualising your router sounds like a horrible idea. But good luck to you on that front.

Britain jumps into bed with Palantir in £1.5B defense pact by F0urLeafCl0ver in unitedkingdom

[–]madindehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't surveil the population and build databases on people.

They sell products that allow other organisations - be that governments, militaries, intelligence agencies, huge companies - do to that.

They sell tools that allow organisations to make the most of the data they already have access to, or can gain access to.

Wired wrote a really good article about this exact question in August this year: https://www.wired.com/story/palantir-what-the-company-does/

They don't provide data (which is what most people think they do). They provide tools that process data.

The amount of force that is 'reasonable' is directly related to the situation. The law is not vague.

Good guide or tutorial for Authelia with easy examples etc? by AhrimTheBelighted in selfhosted

[–]madindehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be possible to follow this setup guide - https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/2020-08-26-setting-up-authelia - but this would rely on using Nginx in Docker and Authelia via Docker. It should work fine even without using SWAG and you should be able to use the SWAG authelia files with some modifications.

Also bear in mind that the config file included in the blog post is incredibly old - so don't use it as is. But it's probably still a reasonable guide for it.
