  • That's what we Europeans call a "petty answer to the disgrace that is Amarican military time" (not the be confused with regular Amarican time and dates, which don't allow overflow, as far as I'm aware). The date described above is clearly "the second of March, 2015" or 2015-03-02.

    Israel army tests new Bar rockets in Gaza

    Jump

  • Well, I got that, but that's also pretty much the only thing it mentions. What were the results? Was it better then the last generation? How will it change warfare in the future (beyond Gaza)?

    I'm gonna ignore the deeply unethical application under which this mysterious and barely named new rocket was tested, since that hardly is relevant to this community and better discussed elsewhere.

    EDIT: Sorry, that last paragraph should have an "I think" in there, since I'm no mod and am purely voicing my opinion about low quality and (what I find to be) barely relevant posts in this community.

    Jump

  • Hmm, this seems more about economics and politics than technology.

    Like, what exactly is the new type of Bar rocket and how does it compare to the older rockets? I see it being mentioned as a replacement for Rumach rockets, but the only details are that it's got some unnamed "guidance mechanism specifically designed for difficult combat environments" and that it's rapid fire (compared to some other unnamed rocket?).

  • Kunne man ikke lave en 404 side som siger noget alla: "Hvis du kom ind på denne side gennem en QR-kode, så må du gerne efterlade en kort beskrivelse af position via. følgende link:"

    Jeg går naturligvis ud fra, at du gerne vil finde markaterne fysisk og digitalt, og ikke ved hvilken sti på hjemmesiden de fører til.

  • By extension it's unethical to operate any powered vehicle, and by extension it's unethical to use any device requiring (combustible) fuel and/or electricity.

    Electric planes exist, they're just not very popular.

  • Can l post on Mastodon social, floss social right from here ? If yes, then how ?

    Jump

  • Had a hunch that might've been you! At least it works one way, which I suppose was what you asked about. :)

    Though, would be nice if I also could see my mastadon comments on lemmy. :/

  • I still cannot see it from lemmy, even when using a webbrowser. :/

    I can see that debaashish@mastadon.social has responded to my comment made from mastadon, could you please try to respond to it too?

    For clarity, the comment made by ekky@sopuli.xyz (the one you just responded to) was just in case people could not see the comment made by ekky@mastadon.social

    Also, the image of my lemmy comment doesn't seem to show on mastadon.

  • What OS are you using and why?

    Jump

  • EndeavourOS is pretty neat. I use it on my main rig where I run updates at least once a month, since it gets unruly if not updated regularly. Also, yay and the AUR is absolutely wonderful. No more scavanging the net for rogue .deb or appimages.

    I use Mint on any mobile - or less often used - PCs since it doesn't care if I don't update it for 2 years, and it's default settings are decent.

    And yeah, Debian for servers with BorgBackup (encrypted, and the deduplication+compression is insane) through SSH with a systemd service. It's just set and forget. I update them whenever I remember, and stability appears close to unparalleled.

  • Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues

    Jump

  • Seeing these errors means "the SSD is on its way out," according to HTWingNut.

    Since we're simply talking about being unpowered for a while, wouldn't a simple full format fix/reset all ECC errors? No need to scrap the drive.

    Surely a cap/transistor temporarily losing charge shouldn't permanently destroy it!

    Anyways, HDD for 6-24 months offline data storage, SSD for always-online data storage, and flash if you're a masochist like me.

  • Planetside 2 players?

    Jump

  • I'd love to see a modern mmofps, I can't think of anything coming close to Planetside on that front.

    That said, I mostly did TR flash zergs when running solo, and VS C4 fairies when my friends were online.

    We all kinda dropped the game after the Combined Arms Initiative was rolled out and removed the need for vehicles, as heavies were stronger than MAXes and could solo pretty much all armor without breaking a sweat, and we could break up a hours-long tank line stalement using a sunderer and 3 Archer-equipped engineers. (Multiple tanks and some infantry peeled off to stop us, but we could kill pretty much anything with 2-3 salvos, usually before they found us. The sunderer was mostly just to get there).

    Cathy, do the math.

  • Most definitely, but the leeches still get a higher pay than they usually would - until the union collapses.

  • Recommendation for a privacy respecting Wifi mesh system?

    Jump

  • I returned them. And I did indeed get the name wrong as they are a series of WiFi mesh towers named 'Deco X20' and not 'Deca'.

    I do already use DD-WRT in my home network, but these were meant to provide a network-on-a-budget out in the field, aka. a stand-in for professional solutions which other people should be able to set up too, so I wanted to modify them as little as possible.

    WiFi extenders do technically fit my requirements (and I've got them working mostly successful), but, as far as I'm aware, mesh is specifically made for the purpose of having a seamless WiFi device transfer from one tower to another, and where one can form a circle or "spiderweb" pattern with the signal taking the best (distance/speed/reliability) route back to the router - which is what I need.

    Ubiquity seems to have gained traction lately, so I'll throw them an E-Mail whether their devices are too smart to be usable too.

  • Recommendation for a privacy respecting Wifi mesh system?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I even wrote TP-Link an E-mail about this, but they wrote back that that was just how the device worked, that they could not recommend any of their mesh solutions which could provide a stable WiFi connection even without internet, and that they obviously couldn't recommend any devices from competitors.

    My image of TP-Link might have taken a hit as result as I believed this to be a fundamental and implied feature.

  • Recommendation for a privacy respecting Wifi mesh system?

    Jump

  • I'm also looking for a good WiFi mesh, preferably one that can be used with IoT devices (aka. Even without an internet connection).

    I tried TP-Link Deca, but the mesh refuses LAN communication if the router doesn't have a constant and stable connection to the internet - A feature I previously believed to be given - making it unusable for IoT and for providing WiFi at remote locations.

  • Wine is awesome but

    Jump

  • "Is this 'Critical Error' the reason for the crash, or just another ill-labeled exception?"

    I love WINE and it's forks, but man, how can any program produce so many errors during optimal operation? (A rhetorical question, as I believe we all know the tragicomedic reason being Microsoft)
