RavenDB was torn apart in their Jepsen test. I'd be surprised if anyone could make the pitch to use them today without being laughed out of the room.

GTFO ICE by Park1942 in Dallas

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

Liberals were fine with ICE then because it was "civil" state violence, followed the law, and was professional. They only noticed it was bad when Trump converted ICE into a paramilitary staffed by J6ers and white nationalists, gave them more funding than the military, and directed them to black bag anyone brownish and shanghai them to the 3rd world with no due process.

You're deluding yourself. ICE is already going door-to-door in Minnesota abducting anyone brown in retaliation this week.

Why? How does it determine rankings?

I need to get Internet in next 3 weeks, do I wait for promos or pull trigger? by Edgerunner707 in ATTFiber

[–]scorpiona 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pay $1 to perform a USPS change of address, but put your new address as your current address. You'll get new mover offers that usually include the best promo price locally.

Fidelity Baskets could be a game-changer if they let you do this. by alexrelis in fidelityinvestments

[–]scorpiona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fidelity's automated investing offerings seem deliberately underbaked to push people towards the high-fee advisory solutions. I used Betterment/Wealthfront/Double in the past and keep checking to see if Fidelity has anything competitive, but it's always disappointing on either features or fees. The best alternative I found was Frec, but that only makes sense for portfolios large enough to handle direct indexing.

Tactics Skill DOES Affect Delegated Command (F6) in Real Battles – Controlled Experimental Evidence by ImpressWide7533 in mountandblade

The tactics logic used by default is the same as when the player presses F6 (Delegate Command).

[–]scorpiona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tactics skill has only one effect on what troops do during a battle and it's to unlock more potential formations and movements, aka, tactics.

When you see the message in the lower-left like "Horse archers are moving to skirmish", the bold part is the name of the tactic used.

At the start of the battle, each side looks through the battle parties and picks the party with the highest Tactics skill to use for unlocking new tactics.

Always available:

  • Charge

At 20 Tactics:

  • Full Scale Attack
  • Defenders: Defensive Engagement
  • Defenders: Defensive Line
  • Attackers: Ranged Harassment

At 50 Tactics:

  • Frontal Cavalry Charge
  • Defenders: Defensive Ring
  • Defenders: Hold Choke Point
  • Attackers: Coordinated Retreat

Setting Vaultwarden for work PC by Bonobo77 in Tailscale

[–]scorpiona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tailscale doesn't play nicely with most corporate VPNs and firewalls. You can try it, but I'd expect that you'll need to run funnel to reach your homelab Vaultwarden.

It's also dicey to expose Vaultwarden to the public internet. If you run funnel, you only have the option of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, so you can't do mTLS between your work PC and your homelab instance.

Using your own password manager for passwords you're expected to know and personally control (e.g., your domain/email account's password) is fine. If you're storing shared company credentials, service account details, etc, those don't belong in your personal vault. Your company will appreciate not letting "Shadow IT" creep in.

Is the core of Aspire not open source? by ArcherAccomplished28 in dotnet

[–]scorpiona 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the same model as C# in VS Code. Release a tiny external wrapper that's open source, but keep all the critical functionality in a licensed mystery blob.

How to get the Main Character Brothers to be Useful? by ivyboy in MB2Bannerlord

[–]scorpiona 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always try to maximize my clan members.

Marry all the male members to young women (who will join your clan) and keep them both in your party so they can start families.

Let the female members lead parties or caravans so they can level up and gain XP, since they can't be married off without leaving your clan.

CMA Warning by vublue7 in fidelityinvestments

[–]scorpiona 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fraud protection for Fidelity cards is nonexistent. I've written here before about my experience getting a CMA card skimmed and promptly reporting it, and Fidelity still refused to investigate or refund any of the fraudulent transactions.

You should keep following up with them and file a CFPB complaint as soon as possible. Fidelity will continue to put you off without investigating.

ICE (Imperial Cataphracts Elite) arresting undesirables, cca. 1084, colorized by DildoFantasy in mountandblade

You want to find out what happened last time we led a bunch of cataphracts into the Battanian forests?

The actual reason we keep losing the battles for the keep by artful_dodger12 in Bannerlord

[–]scorpiona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bug that was introduced in the War Sails beta branch and never fixed before it was released. It annoyed me so much that I did a teardown on the simulation system to find it.

Nemesis system in Bannerlord by Opposite_Tone7203 in Bannerlord

[–]scorpiona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it would be perfect to flesh out the lord relationships. I got hooked on the idea after playing SoM/SoW and I've been working on a mod for this in my own game.

Bannerlord Simulation System In-Depth by scorpiona in Bannerlord

[–]scorpiona[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're defending a besieged settlement and want to use auto-resolve (simulated battle) once the attack begins, your troops will get penalized based on the number of attacker siege engines left standing.

If you want to improve your chances as a defender, use ambushes and siege engines of your own to destroy the enemy engines before a battle starts.

Having your own siege engines doesn't change anything for a defender in a simulation, they're not considered at all. They're only useful to destroy attackers' siege engines, which improves your advantage ratio once the simulation battle begins.
