  • i saw a guy doing that by himself once. at night. in -15° weather. facing a locked loading door at a university campus.

    a peculiar breed.

  • you only got one? pfft

  • POWER is an ibm architecture. is v9 open? i know some versions are.

    thu latest one is a compute beast, but it's also very power hungry. i think their TDPs start at like 300W.

    also, amigaos? i know the enthusiasts like it but wouldn't something posixy be more worth pursuing?

  • other way around. the xbox was five years after the playstation, and used A for confirm, like nintendo's consoles. the snes has A on the right, so the PS has O on the right. but when they released in europe, they chose to use X for confirm, which is on the bottom. so the xbox has A on the bottom.

  • I started using aeon, which comes with a specially-configured snapper integrated with systemd and the package manager, a while ago. it's so nice to have a system that does automatic updates, has automatic rollback, and cannot be broken by using it like a normal user.

    it's not completely stable yet, but what's there is really cool. heads up if you want to try it that it's made to be the only os on your machine and so will wipe all partitions on the drive you install it on.

  • you should probably read up on water heaters.

  • yeah only place i know that still has gas ranges is turn-of-century buildings in stockholm. one almost set fire to my aunt.

  • yes, but not the same amount of electricity. without a tank there's no heat storage to take energy from.

  • i don't think those are approved for installation in buildings here. and i wouldn't want gas in my house anyway.

  • doing the math, tankless heaters use insane amounts of electricity. we were gonna use one for a detached guest house so we could skip the insulated pipe, but holy shit the cabling we'd have to install

  • ämen va synd

  • introduce him to your mum

  • yeah the first two were because the pilot was outmanuevering the flight computer. the plane was much more capable than the initial software.

    another fun fact is that the swedish air force does not have an aerobatics team. they all train for those maneuvers and whenever there's an airshow they're invited to they just send a random free airman from whatever base they happen to be on.

  • doas

  • they were originally made in sweden on license by volvo aerospace. now that's part of bae systems, but the entire thing is modular and if worse comes to worst, the drawings are probably still around.

  • have you tried Supraland? it's weirdly the closest thing to metroid prime i've played in a long time, and it's got completely the opposite tone. it's hilarious.

    as noted in one of the steam reviews, don't let the looks fool you. on first glance it seems to be a cheap asset flip, but it's an extremely tightly designed game with something like 20 hours of content and almost everything is original assets. it has a mishmash of styles because it takes place in a kid's sandbox, so the different kinds of toys don't match eachother.

  • i can tell you the one that surprised me the most: Yoku's Island Express! utterly adorable pinball metroidvania. you're a little dung beetle pushing a big ball around to deliver mail.

    i find that there is so much focus on dark and dreary in the metroidvania genre, which makes sense considering the roots of the genre. me, i get enough of that in my daily life. i want colorful and full of curiosity. the ori games are good for that too, as is supraland, but i don't know of many more.

  • the 1 is the premium model though. the 10 is where it's at.
