Have my main server back home, while I’m traveling I have a script to reencode to av1 onto my local machine, works beautifully and the quality drop isn’t too bad (colors look weird but think that’s the Intel xe encoder)

Used to have miredo, which worked pretty well, but think they killed that.

Should still have old 6to4 protocols, they use ipv4 address tricks to get everything working.

I’m guessing you’ve seen as many lorentz attractor simulations as I have, what always happens is something like tidal effects or angular momentum means 90% slow down while a few particles get shot out of hell at ludicrous speed.

The effect is similar to drag, and is basically how we get entropy even without em effects.

Then it should also coelescce, particularly since it doesn’t have the em force to keep it repelled, the universe should be dominated by massive dark matter black holes.

Yes, there’s math that explains part of the distribution, but also there is 0 force opposing any collapse we’d have a lot more neutron stars and other degenerate matter catalyzed by dark matter.

We have hypotheses like this when our observations don’t make sense and we need to explain them, it’s definitely a possibility but we still have room to understand the large scale physics at play.

Yes, it would just be surprising because, gravity should make them not be evenly distributed.

The whole thing with dark matter is that it’s this magic stuff that causes gravity but isn’t affected by it, which… is not how gravity normally works.

Though there is still room for it, we just need a better framework other than “I added 3 and 5 and got 12, so obviously I must mean to add 3 and 5 and 4 too”.

The main way you’d see that kind of microlensing is if they aggregated.

But given the way gravity works, they should aggregate, otherwise why call them black holes?

Yes, but by very little.

You’re saving on GPU processing, but that’s unlikely to be that much for browsing.

This is something I’ve felt we’ve needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.

This is something I’ve wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.

Went back to BF4, felt like coming home.

We lost so much in the last decade, maybe a few new shooters can help bring things back.

How you doin’?

What’re we going to do tomorrow night, Couch-fucker?

The same thing we do every night, Stinky, try to destroy the world!

Somebody needs to check MTG’s eyes, lately she sounds like she was taken over by Mystique when nobody was looking.

Yeah, it is.

But I don’t know what to tell you, the term predates the nazis by quote a bit.

They adopted it, but it was known from the age of dragoons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_troops

The sacred band of thebes were considered shock troops, and I’d suggest that’s closer to what the Russian idiots meant.

But I also wouldn’t be surprised if they were just copying the nazis without knowing.

They probably moved it to somewhere under /usr or /var/lib.

A storm trooper is a member of storm troops, also called shock troops, which are trained for sudden assaults. They carried out attacks in World War I and in World War II, and they were a politica militia of the Nazi party (see Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts). The English storm troops is a direct translation of the German Sturmtruppen.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/storm-trooper

They were called storm troopers because they were the ones who stormed trenches during an assault.

It wasn’t considered a bad thing then, they were considered the elite.

It’s a commonly used term now, just like Assault Rifle from Sturmgewehr.

It’s become verbed, like googling.

Sturmtruppen was the German word for ‘assault troops’, much like sturmgewehr is their word for ‘assault rifle’ which was adopted by everyone else.

It means troops to storm a position, the heaviest troops for assaults.

We’d call them assault forces, or honestly, just marines (amphibious assault corps).

Hitler had a bunch of paramilitary followers (think Trump and his Jan 6 crowd) called the sturmabteilingen (sp?), which translated to storm troopers, because he thought it sounded impressive.

He later betrayed and murdered them, to curry favor with the army, which is so Hitler.

So no change for Russia then.

He’s a Midwestern republican, it’s less bad there and they can keep deniability that people are so insane.

A lot of the worst of this spread from the dixiecrats when they joined the GOP, what’s tragic is how Midwesterners keep convincing themselves that this is just normal politics and not the legacy of Jim Crow racism run amok.

I mean, he’s still a politician, but he’s a politician within the bounds of sanity.
