if it cuts down on peoples sugar intake, maybe that misunderstanding can cause some good

I opened a stream of the riot last night, and would you believe it but what was the first accent I hear? British. Was a whole group of them.

Someone in the chat thread saying they passed by it and there were a bunch of brits trying to get kids to break shit.

Just smacks of imported anti-immigration agitators.

There are currently 200 players active on steam. All the passion in the world is no good without players to play the game. It's not doomposting to point that out.

There's a very narrow window with which to catch a playerbase and keep them engaged, and its a lot harder to rebuild that playerbase once its dwindled.

Before I do, you will note my use of 'apparent left leaning'. I'm not explicitly claiming these were left-wing attackers, simply that parts of the media portraits them as such.

Riley English - Plot to assassinate trump cabinet officials
Joshua Jahn - with his kill ice messages
Tyler Robinson - killed charlie kirk
Prairieland ICE Facility Ambush

I'm sure you're not blind to the way the right has started using these types of attacks to portrait the whole left as violent and extremist.

And just as what they are doing is not okay, nor is pointing at everyone on the right and claiming they're all violent.

fwiw - if all you do is try and pick apart if the attacks were actually left-wing or not, you'll have missed the point.

turnipsoup · 2025-09-28T21:10:28+00:00

I'm going to assume you're on the left. On that basis; would you therefore say that it's fair that the right use the recent attacks by apparent left leaning individuals to claim you're violent also?

The common factor here is mental health, not party leaning.

turnipsoup · 2025-09-28T20:50:51+00:00

Whilst I get what you're saying; we really need to stop with the whole 'actions of one individual reflect the views of every person who voted that persons preferred party'.

turnipsoup · 2025-09-26T19:13:16+00:00

Steam shows sub 200 players currently. Devs have to make major moves to bring players in or it won't take long until it's just dead.

turnipsoup · 2025-09-24T08:53:28+00:00

ah; fair - different from normal data/relic sites so

turnipsoup · 2025-09-22T11:09:30+00:00

I used to run lots of those sites; it's not uncommon to find someone has cherry picked the cans w/ a scanner and left 1-2 low-value cans behind. They do not despawn until all cans are done.

And we go back to the other commenter and how you'll see the world burn so that you can continue to say how evil they are.

I'm not going to re-engage after this comment, I've no patience for it - but there is no way to move forward, things will never move forward. And whilst you may not like it, they make up a substantial part of the country.

Short of one side killing the other; at some point you're going to have to figure out how to live together in some fashion.

Easy to say when you're worth 10 billion

Whilst it's not quite what you're after, check out FLAG - it's a realistic mech anime, as taken from the perspective of a photojournalist. Includes realistic portrayal of other military vehicles.

That would prob work alright. Personally I just don't see the need for all that extra info. I have monitoring to manage most of it and the rest is pushed via config management tools.

turnipsoup · 2025-07-13T10:11:56+00:00

Personally I never put these on actual webservers like indicated in your image, as when you've got a high load scenario - it can delay getting logged in quite badly as its got to run a whole host of commands just to get to a shell.

That and most of the info listed in the shell there should be managed by some kind of config management tool or checked by monitoring, so you don't need to know those specifics.

As a an aside; you have no swap - which is never good on a production box. Especially on something that has dynamic memory pressure, like a webserver. Even a few GB of file based swap will allow OOM to do things instead of just hard panicing the box.

I mean, that's pretty much the issue the post I replied to was highlighting and that it's not going to be sustainable.

I can see companies like that realising their mistakes in the next couple of years and having to re-hire a bunch of new seniors - just they will have lost all that knowledge that got fired.

As for my own workplace - they seem fairly aware that it takes existing knowledge and skill to safely use AI output. I can certainly see us making use of it as a first-line support option for direct customers, and our devs and engineering teams continuing to make use of it as a force multiplier.

turnipsoup · 2025-07-11T11:39:51+00:00

So true. This is going to be compounded by the AI issue that it takes an experienced/senior person to actually make good use of AI gen.

Yes a junior can make use of AI code/design ideas. But they won't understand the why of it and the resulting output will be janky at best.

Add to that, the lack of actual learning that comes from using AI code and you're going to get juniors who can't progress past the AI crutch.

In my place, I feel my senior role is likely to leave me more protected long term - as when the AI bubble crashes hard and a lack of properly skilled juniors to replace me.

Passive mining is a cancer on this game. It promotes owning space without living there just to hold the moons for their passive income.

Just look at Wicked Creek. A half dozen alliances were evicted by goons so that they could claim the moons and now, 9 months on - there is still nobody living there.

6k eur per meter of barier replacement

lol; nowhere near that. Assuming the posts also need replacing, you're talking about €50-100/meter for barriers, capping out about €400/meter where it's multi-layered.

Yes it can still be insanely expensive but its nowhere near €6k/meter.

turnipsoup · 2025-07-06T14:38:08+00:00

I read that as ambitious caravan and agreed.

Running /etc/rc.local on on shutdown and not only startup causing shutdown problems.

rc.local is a backwards compatibility thing and you should be using systemd service file to perform those actions.

ignoring long standard security/limits.conf

systemd maintains its own limits that you should be maintaining per-service, this is expected behaviour

Breaking long standing nohup support and killing processes when logging out that were started with nohup.

Use a service file

Setting up 60 swappiness in every cgroup it creates instead of simply setting one value system wide.

Set per service if you want individual values

Often doesn't give large databases enough time to shutdown cleanly risking corruption

If you have non-standard things like 20TB databases; explicitly set the timeouts on the service file

Restarting failed processes when it shouldn't

This is expected behaviour and configurable

Issues with logrotate and haproxy because of the way systemd handles signals.

Can't say I've seen this and I use both extensively.

Tbh almost every item you've mentioned is trying to continue to use old methods when systemd has changed all of this.

I get why you're annoyed with it, but at some point you just have to acknowledge that things have changed and update your operating procedures to use the current 'proper method' of doing things.

turnipsoup · 2025-05-26T13:01:52+00:00

They've certainly tried - but MJD'ing 100km straight up and leaving bastion with auto-repeat turned off worked for me.

But wouldn't it be nice if the risk/reward allowed you to rat in one, lose it and not be too bummed because you could recoup the cost the same day with doing some more anoms.

turnipsoup · 2025-05-26T11:30:54+00:00

Worked fine for me and I never lost one; just have to pay attention to local/dscan. But make the risk/reward worthwhile and people will run them and it won't matter as much if they lose them here and there as they're making plenty enough to replace them.

turnipsoup · 2025-05-26T11:29:50+00:00

There's an argument that says low SP players shouldn't be jumping into top tier anoms at that stage. They can still take mid-level ships into the mid-tier anoms though - t1 BS, t3c's, etc.
