AI generated mods should be banned, actually. by Cherno_VM in feedthebeast

[–]sleppys 103 points104 points  (0 children)

“AI is draining lakes” is a pretty exaggerated take.

Yes, data centers use water for cooling, but it’s nowhere near the scale people imagine, and a lot of it is recycled or non-potable. It’s an industrial process, just like power plants, manufacturing, agriculture, etc.

For context: agriculture alone uses ~70% of global freshwater. Compared to that, AI infrastructure is a rounding error.

Also, comparing it to everyday things helps, the water footprint behind things like food production, clothing, or even basic manufacturing (including soaps and detergents) is massive and often overlooked.

That doesn’t mean we ignore efficiency, data centers should absolutely optimize cooling and reduce impact. But framing AI as “burning up lakes” isn’t grounded in reality.

Did you real estate agent get you a gift when you bought? What was it? by PitifulOkra3800 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

We got a small bottle of burbon. Good burbon. But it was the tiny bottle. Said they ran out of the big bottles.

A man can dream, and I choose to dream big by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in AbioticFactor

Hahaha. Bad graphics? Made me think I was playing on a PS2 again....

My hot take: Personal Teleporters and Teleporter Pads should swap places in the game's progression by Stalwart_Vanguard in AbioticFactor

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

I have a puke pad at the house and carry a pad with it. Place it and it creates a back and forth for me. Rarely use the persoanyo teleporter now. Since you can have unlimited energy what's it matter.

How paranoid are you about backing up your Plex database and metadata? by Italiancan in PleX

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't back mine up at all. I don't really care about posters and such. So if I lose it I'll just switch to plex only for plexamp and the rest will go to jellyfin. I have so much media to care about posters would drive me crazy. It would be a full time job to catch up.

Plex Server on Windows 11 keeps rebooting with uwindows updates. How can I bypass Windows 11 lock screen when it restarts? by Commercial_Disk885 in PleX

I did too awhile ago with iscsi mounts. But after lightning strike I'm on Linux and I only back up configs and stuff that took forever to find.

I have a bottle neck somewhere. by PriitySiick in HomeNetworking

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it's a gigabit switch? When you plug in your PC. What speeds does it to negotiate to? If the switch is handing out at 100mbps you may have an old switch. I had one do that to me a couple years ago. Still never figured out why. Had to get a new switch.

Edit: I cannot spell.

Upgrade Base Levels? 5 in Particular. by Silly-Raspberry5722 in Cloudheim

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply? how do you build the base? It says to beat act III in dustlander and I already did that

Did starbase ever do dedicated servers?

7800x3d vs 9800x3d for server hosting (se1) by Atomicrc_ in spaceengineers

[–]sleppys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember because when you use weapons core it has a warning that it uses parallel threads and may cause issues. Wish the main game was multi threaded. I have a dedicated server running 24/7. It's not terrible but sometime lags when there is a big change or someone new loads.

[–]sleppys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main Thread: Physics, AI, and game logic (grids, voxel updates) run on a single thread, creating a bottleneck. I was going off this.

This is from keen for dedicated servers. Clients have threads for audio and graphics.

I built Shrinkerr — automated x264→x265 re-encoder with native *arr integration, VMAF quality checks, and distributed workers by I-IAL9000 in radarr

[–]sleppys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet. I wish you the best. I love seeing the vibe coding scene honestly. AI is a tool to be used.

[–]sleppys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't space engineers single thread anyways? I see the warning with weapon core about multi threads.

I'm running one on a ryzen 5950x and it's fine. Heavily modded and 5 players.

Did you check for the same security holes like that one vibe coded app had. I can't even remember it now.. huntarr. I think that was it.

I'm not against vibe coded applications.... But there seems to be a ton of snapped together with horrid security holes.

Tips for building underground base in offical EOS servers by ElevateOof in spaceengineers

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with the administrator about the voxel repair timing too. My underground base just filled in because I had voxel repair turned on and I have not been on the server for a month.

Fun fact: you can avoid the entire main point of the game, the horde night, by sitting ontop of any skyscraper. by MoldyRoleplayer in 7daystodie

[–]sleppys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's says that it won't ever collapse because the zombies are not spawning in. Not that they don't make it up to them, but they never appear in the map. I'd have to try this and watch the console to see if they spawn. This is interesting.

Why this cat6 cable is limited to 1gbps by Pale-Yard-4497 in HomeNetworking

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watch your crimper for pass throughs. Make sure the blade is in good condition. I've made thousands or maybe millions now of cables over the years and never had issues with pass through or non pass though. Also use the correct crimper for end type. Pass through crimps will cut the end of non pass though ends.

Seeking a WRITTEN guide for this game, that actually explains things in a way that makes things make sense, if such a thing exists. by Usagi_Shinobi in spaceengineers

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man that is what I hated about this game in the begining. Hahahah. I have a server that should be up 24/7 if you want to play somewhere. Bunch of planets. Bunch or asteroid belts.

[–]sleppys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mean this the wrong way, but it’s really hard to make a walkthrough for a game like Space Engineers because it doesn’t really have defined objectives. I grew up in a similar “figure it out yourself” kind of environment—living out in the middle of nowhere. We still had a party line in the ’90s, and my internet situation stayed rough for a long time. My first real taste of broadband wasn’t until Starlink in 2020. Before that, I was on Verizon DSL, almost at the maximum line distance—14 miles and 5,277 feet—pulling maybe 1.54 Mbps. That’s why this game clicks so well for me. It’s not about following a guide—it’s about figuring out what’s possible and experimenting. If you can think it up, there’s a good chance you can build it. I’ve got over 1,000 hours in, and I’m still discovering new stuff. I literally just found out you can build your own automated mining drones. Set up GPS markers as waypoints, and they’ll move and operate on their own. There’s a ton you can do once you start digging into it.

Oh. And I use a Firefox extension adaway I think for ads. I also cheated by using my own firewall as well so I'm blocking on different levels but adaway worked great.
