  • SNES Consoles Appear To Be Getting Faster As They Age

    Jump

  • I guess it depends if the frame count is an in-game frame, or a recording of the gameplay.If it's in-game frames, then a slower newer snes has the advantage. You have more IRL time per "scored" unit of time.If it's frames of the video, then the faster barrel-aged SNES have the advantage, at the cost of requiring faster button presses

  • Speed running SNES games on og hardware is about to become extremely expensive at the top level

  • Android Self hosting

  • It's a server with integrated UPS and KVM console.

  • Linuxsucks relaunches on a different instance to a rocky start

  • Lemmy.world

  • Well it's JSON so what can go wrong.

    Jump

  • The value after the : isn't in double/single quotes, so it is a literal value. Thus, a float value will be parsed as a float. Whether it is 1E-5 or 0.00001. They are numerically equivalent, but not stringly equivalent.

    If you are having errors parsing your JSON, then use a proper JSON library instead of trying to roll your own.

    Jump

  • But that's a stringify method, tho.JS passes a float to the console. Console prints the float however it wants to.

    Just do strict comparison when you want to compare a variable to1e-5.Cause a string of 0.00001 should be passed through parseFloat (or whatever your language equivalent is) before you compare it to a variable with the value f0.00001

    Why is no one talking about Trump recently saying he wants to ban voting booths and have 100% paper ballots?

    Jump

  • No, from the UK.I don't understand how the US can want to have 100% paper ballots, but ban voting booths (which to me means, in person voting). This essentially leaves postal voting.And USPS has been repeatedly targeted by right wing politics.

    What kind of paper voting system is left without in-person, if USPS is compromised?

    President Donald Trump on Friday [21st Feb 2025, I think] said he may put the U.S. Postal Service under the control of the Commerce Department in what would be an executive branch takeover of the agency, which has operated as an independent entity since 1970. https://apnews.com/article/trump-postal-service-usps-what-to-know-672db6c590837411ca3ba36966e374e1

    So paper votes only, no voting booths... Leave postal votes. And the government controls the postal service.What else is there?

    Jump

  • If the postal service isn't a political target, then post voting is excellent.Ballots can be mailed weeks in advance, they can be collected by a deadline, they can then be counted.But we've seen Americas right wing go after USPS, so - quite frankly - I don't see any way it is as fool-proof as in-person voting.Voting day needs to be a holiday, or employers need to give PTO for voting.

    None of which will happen.Voting booths will be banned.USPS will be compromised/defunded to the point it can't carry out it's duties.Only the people that can schedule the time with Electoral College personnel will be able to actually register a vote.

  • Iran's President to Trump: I will not negotiate, 'do whatever the hell you want'

    Jump

  • You know, I have no idea.I think it depends on the linked-to servers.If the server thinks the Lemmy thumbnail/summary generator is a bad bot, it will not return a thumbnail. If it's actually a decent web server, I think the Lenny instance will generate & distribute a thumbnail automatically and attach a summary.I presume this is handled by the posts hosting instance.

    I've noticed some sites that get linked to don't have a thumbnail and some sort of "prove you aren't a bit" subtext/caption.And others work fine

  • We need to decide on a genre name for Vampire Survivors-like games before a really terrible one sticks

    Jump

  • It's an autoshooter isn't it?Vampire Survivors would be a rogue-like autoshooter.

    Like Backpack Battles is an autobattler.

    Edit:As raised in the comments, actually a rogue-lite as VS has meta-progression.

  • UK rules out foul play after cargo ship crashed into tanker in North Sea

    Jump

  • You can get a lot of metadata from DNS lookups.

    Traditional DNS is just simple UDP. There is no authentication of authority.There are actually DNS attacks where - if you are intercepting the traffic - you can reply faster than the actual DNS. At which point the client will trust whatever you return as it arrived first.Indeed, that's how multiple DNS addresses work. Your computer will yeet a request to all configured DNS. First response gets used.

    Also, as it's unencrypted, anyone that can snoop the traffic can see what domain names you are requesting.

    There are a few standards that are working to solve this including DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS).

  • No, but "four 8s" is easier to remember.If they had a memorable IP, I'd use them in a heartbeat.I'll put them on my network DNS resolver, but I'm probably still gonna use 8s. Especially since that's the resolver that LetsEncrypt uses exclusively

  • Oil tanker and cargo vessel collide in North Sea

    Jump

  • I don't think ships have any collision avoidance systems, like aircrafts do.And I don't think ships are actively monitored and instructed, like aircrafts are.

    Seems hard to believe that a ship travelling at 16 knots was unable to avoid a stationary ship.However, further down the BBC post, there is an image of all the ships in the area at the time of the collision.If it's busy, I'd imagine the crew were alert. Equally, they might have been concentrating on something else.They had also just left port, so perhaps there was a change of shift/watch.

    There are a lot of laws regarding maritime navigation to avoid collision.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Regulations_for_Preventing_Collisions_at_SeaPerhaps the cargo ship did not realise the tanker was anchored, and assumed they would move out of the way.

    Ultimately, everything is too recent to be able to understand what happened.

    Edit:Link to the post with the image of traffic at the time:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgq1pwjlqq2t?post=asset%3A6555b096-7f65-4270-9768-53eaae9531b4#post

    Not quite as friendly as 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9 and so on

  • Docker to Kubernetes, ZFS to ... ?

  • I am using Talos Linux. It's Linux specially cooked for kubernetes. It's been super simple and has been very reliable so far.Also, if I mess something up badly, it's really fast to get back to a clean k8s install.

    For storage, I am using LocalPathProvisioner for fast local nvme storage (I use CNPG to run postgres, which handles clustering in postgres). https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisionerThere is an issue about backing up PVCs https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/issues/85

    For distributed/redundant storage I use Ceph Rook. https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.9/ceph-storage.htmlAgain, super simple to set up.Docs for backups:https://rook.github.io/docs/rook/latest/Troubleshooting/disaster-recovery/?h=veler#steps

    My current workload is lots of short-lived stuff, so I make sure I have automated and replicable deployment of stuff, so I haven't dug into backups.Which limits how much help I can provide.

  • Suspicious Tesla Sales Surge Triggers Canadian Government Investigation - Motor Illustrated

    Jump

  • Maybe it's as suggested in the article. That the rebate is going to be paused, so Tesla is trying to farm it. You know, for fraud.

    But this could also have other motivations behind it.

    Like Tesla buying Tesla's in Canada as some sort of "people aren't boycotting Tesla. Infact, there has been an INCREASE in sales in Canada. Clearly Tesla's are trying to be cancelled, and clearly Canada wants to be part of the US" kinda fraud?

    As in, trying to bolster Tesla stock. And trying to meddle with another country's politics.Only the fucking idiot muskrat applied for government funded rebates on all of them?

    Cause that's what this is. Fraud.
