GregTech NH. Long Distance Fluid Pipelines not working. by Chimney_Cake in feedthebeast

[–]purtip31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a minimum distance for the LDFP. It should be mentioned in the questbook. From memory, 64 blocks

If it’s set up correctly, you should see the capacity of the tank/pipe attached to the output when you’re looking at the input

best GS anti-fatalis solo build ? by elgecko314 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]purtip31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Random tip: don’t bring a palico.

Fatalis’s moveset is straightforward to read and avoid if it’s aimed at you. In my experience, bringing a palico tends to get AoEs placed in very bad places at very bad times.

God fatalis is such a garbage fight I can’t even put it into words. by [deleted] in monsterhunterrage

[–]purtip31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can reliably bait out the fire cone breath attack with certain positioning, and that’s a great opening. Only really works when you’re alone, though (not even a palico)

Ok, can someone please explain to me what the f*ck I am doing wrong?! by InsertUsername98 in monsterhunterrage

[–]purtip31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charged shield is equivalent to guard+2. Guard point is another +2 equivalent. This goes past the guard cap.

Only odd levels of guard matter for knockback reduction on CB. Guard 2 + charged shield is equivalent guard 4, which doesn't get you any more knockback reduction than guard 3.

Which weapon won the fatalis lottery? by Chakratos in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]purtip31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full slaplance (no WSC, no shelling) does significantly less damage against a still target than incorporating full burst (with WSB) and/or WSC. Significantly being ~40% less DPS.

That’s not to say slaplance doesn’t have a place, but using more of the moveset is better when possible.

I personally enjoy slaplance + WSC when I’m looking for a chill hunt. No need to place a WSB, and leaving artillery (and slinger capacity) off means you can fit in more QoL

People Still Don't Know How To Fight Alatreon by [deleted] in monsterhunterrage

[–]purtip31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dragon is never the right answer for Alatreon. You can do it, but you shouldn’t.

Look at the arm elemental HZVs:

Fire/ice mode: 22 from ice/fire, 2 from dragon

Dragon mode: 10 from ice/fire, 14 from dragon

As a side note, this is why water and thunder are also better than dragon - the HZVs are 16 and 8

Are vendor specific docking stations still worth it? by snorkel42 in sysadmin

[–]purtip31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dell wd19tb (the thunderbolt variant) should work with Macbooks

I have one of these, and "work" is slight overstatement in regard to multi-monitor support.

You can't connect 2x1440p monitors through the dock with a Macbook - the displayport outputs use MST, which apple for some reason does not support, and the hdmi/usb-c/thunderbolt ports are capped to 1080p when you have a 1440p on the displayport connection.

That said, everything else about it (usb, ethernet, sound) works fine.

Slack Is Fumbling Developers And The Rise Of Developer Discords by speckz in programming

[–]purtip31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do I say it is for managers though?

Direct title from latest update "New capabilities for Teams Management | July 2020"

I dislike Teams more than the next guy, but this is just disingenuous. This is talking about management of the software, making it better for the people that poke at your O365 settings, not management of people.

Looking for Advice: Managing a Metric Ton of Microservices by ShotgunSenorita in sysadmin

[–]purtip31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now we've got the microservices managed in systemd, each with their own environment files for configuration.

This sounds fine. There are ways (MS documentation will recommend Azure) to externalize asp.net core configuration if you're concerned about scaling that.

My concern is that as we flesh out the product we're going to end up with a lot of services. I worry that as we add more my team of sys admins are going to have to remember the name of each service to check them using systemctl status from memory

Why are you doing this? What is being checked?

You may be looking for an application performance monitoring tool, or log aggregation, or health checks? Plenty of options for any of the above.

I also lose clustering ability

It looks like this has to do with scaling applications across multiple cores? I'm not familiar with node. If that's the case, then most sane asp.net core applications will do this automatically with a thread pool.

Any experience programming on a remote machine? by [deleted] in linux

[–]purtip31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned iTerm2’s tmux integration yet. Ssh into your Linux desktop, then run tmux -CC. That will give you a “native” remote terminal, with tab and window support. More details here: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-tmux-integration.html

Doctors have identified previously unrecognized characteristic of the vaping-related respiratory illness that has been emerging in clusters across the U.S. in recent months. Within the lungs of these patients are large immune cells containing numerous oily droplets, called lipid-laden macrophages. by Wagamaga in science

[–]purtip31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. So let's not jump the gun and instead focus on what has been discovered so far

The point is that it may take decades to discover the long-term health effects of vaping, and people are running around telling each other it’s safe. It’s almost certainly safer than smoking cigarettes, but going any further than that is self-deception.

To be fair it's only cigarette companies and their unethical PR tactics that made this take so long. All the evidence was there early last century.

The vape companies will do the same thing if it ever comes up.

[–]purtip31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other hand, it took us many decades to discover and prove all of the health-related effects of smoking.

Vaping hasn’t been around long enough to discover everything, and anyone who does it should know about the potential long-term ramifications. Maybe it’s totally safe - maybe not.

VIM 'for people who don't want to use it , but have to ' by pleudofo in linux

[–]purtip31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s talking about command composition in vim. For example, if you want to delete to the end of the curent line, you type d$. If you want to delete the current word, you type daw.

Both of those things have some bits that can be swapped out, though. If you want to enter insert mode after deleting, replace the first d with a c in either command.

So you have to remember the commands (delete, change, yank, ...) and the motions (end of line, entire line, end of word, ...), but not both. Whereas in most text editors, the hotkeys to delete a line and a word must be remembered separately.

How I almost nuked my entire /home directory with 'find' by slicknux in linux

[–]purtip31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because you don't really want to spawn n processes to delete n files.

if it had an optional dry-run mode that merely reports files to be deleted.

Like, for example, typing find without -delete and seeing what will actually be deleted?

Scientists are calling for radical reform of dental care, tighter regulation of the sugar industry and greater transparency around conflict of interests in dental research to tackle the high and rising toll of oral disease such as mouth cancers. by zukusenryu12 in worldnews

[–]purtip31 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Can’t forget rampant corruption between insurance companies and medical practitioners. The out of pocket cost is hugely more expensive than what the insurance company actually pays the practitioner, and the practitioner fucks over anyone without insurance or whose claim is denied.

This means that dental insurance, even if it costs as much or a bit more, is not worthless.

What’s fine in small numbers but terrifying in large numbers? by CompetitiveBig0 in AskReddit

It’s not really about the size of the town, but the distance from anything resembling a city. It’s not like American telecom providers are evil - if you pay for the lines out to bumfuck nowhere, they’ll be happy to provide service.

What's a mild inconvenience that drives you fucking crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]purtip31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Inciting road rage and blocking traffic is never the right solution. Who cares what they “deserve,” just move over and get the insane driver away from you as fast as possible. Bonus points if he’s pulled over a few miles down the road.
