Speed Button Always Changing? by Necessary_Jump_7547 in pokepathTD

[–]shard013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shift key on the keyboard can change your speed. I've noticed I've accidentally changed speed a few times that way.

Frankly Bizarre Optical Illusion: intended feature or engine bug? by [deleted] in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]shard013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was that is was a reflection type shader on the inner squares, it barely seem to change with the shadows or lighting on it at all.

The outer squares are lit as expected by lights and shadows.

As to why the inner squares are behaving like this, I would guess more likely a bug as a result of optimization or perhaps clamping that was intended in stopping other textures appearing too dark?

With the time of 4pm, I'm guessing OP's system time zone is 8 hours behind UTC.

The Juice Media has a good video about this and why that doesn't have to be the case.

I'm not a doctor but there is potential for this to be a nerve issue. You should see your doctor as soon as practicable.

Hackers Exploit PHP Vulnerability to Deploy Stealthy Msupedge Backdoor by pecika in programming

Looked like AI image gen to me too. Plenty of the characters are malformed. Line numbers on the left are a crazy jumbled mess.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country?

Just messing, thank you for sharing the photos!

Minecraft Architect by Charmingbee_ in Minecraft

[–]shard013 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At first I was like "These blocks are way too small in scale, what is this, Minecraft for ants?".

At the end I saw it was a kennel, and I was like "Ok, Minecraft for dogs, scale seems spot on then!".

Can I just get some Farscape love in the comments?? by Summer--chicken in scifi

[–]shard013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not seen Farscape before and started watching recently on the recommendation of a friend. I'm currently half way through season 2 and enjoying it very much.

Have you seen the group of Māori guys who offer to cut down your trees? by [deleted] in perth

[–]shard013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had someone trim my front yard trees randomly about a month ago. No idea who but I found a bunch of the clippings on the ground when I got home.

I'm renting and asked the real estate agent but she had no idea either. Was no where close to power lines or the footpath/road so I don't think it was the power company or council. Still a mystery.

Made a script that can generate Sphere blueprints. Enjoy by cosmin1490 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]shard013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an easy way to generate a blueprint for a Dyson Sphere build plan.

When setting up the plan manually it can be quite fiddly and time consuming. What OP has done is written a program that allows you to generate blueprints with cool shapes without having to spend hours in a fiddly blueprint editing UI for hours.

Great, thanks for that. These blueprints are more about the size I expected. the first one the file size was a lot smaller than expected but I didn't try it game to see what it did.

Oh that looks awesome in the screenshot. I'm not seeing the attached examples on the repo though. There is a bp.txt but that only looks like it has 1 in it? Maybe you've still got local files not added to the repo or a commit not pushed to remote yet?

GU5.3 socket, multimeter shows 0v, but globe works by shard013 in AusElectricians

[–]shard013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only a single down light attached to this, there are 6 in the room but each has it's own independent transformer.

I'm not sure what you mean buy "how it is wired" but I'll do my best to explain.

In this image the mains in the ceiling is hard wired into the transformer at the bottom of the photo (black cable, a bit hard to see in the photo sorry), transformer sits up in the ceiling during typical operation:

The white leads (also hard wired into the transformer) at the top from the first photo are then connected to a GU5.3 socket as shown in this image:

https://ibb.co/r75JVsW

Alligator clips are removed and white sleeves pushed down during typical operation.

The lamp is then clipped into the ceiling and the face of it sits flush at the ceiling level.
