  • 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.


  • 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?).



  • 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.




  • I tried installing Matrix with the Element web interface a few days past, and was positively surprised by the VoIP and screenshare.

    I always thought that Matrix was this dusty old legacy from times long forgotten, but once the images were spun up and the reverse proxy configured, it didn’t take long to setup a small test community and invite a friend.

    There’s a beta option to enable screenshare in a room, but we found that you can screenshare in any voice room despite the setting. We only tested with simple visuals like videos and text documents, where we got small amounts of artifacting, so I’m not sure about the compression and throughput, but I hope it’ll be enough for gaming.


  • “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)
