The linked article says the artificial magnetosphere would encompass the entire planet and points out this includes two critical places where the most atmosphere is lost.

So yes by virtue of it encompassing the whole planet it does cover those two places… I suppose they wanted to specifically mention them

You’re talking to Microsoft buddy don’t fool yourself

ffs literally every single bullet point applies to me (not that this is news)

Yep it sucks ass

Isolated web apps… ewww

see if the LB is accessible directly via the internet. DNS management at medium sized corpos is usually a clusterfuck so it’s definitely a non-zero chance.

Can confirm lmao

Yep, that’s the movie. Hmm I haven’t seen Taxi Driver but I hear they’re similar. The opening scene of Falling Down is like… the character being driven crazy by all these abrasive sensory things while stuck in traffic. Would screw with anyone but yeah… that oldschool srs bsns office getup is my most despised element

You’re right, a lot of the time the rituals get in the way of getting the job done. And you’re welcome, thanks for the thread!

Oh yeah it’s fantastic. All the time spent building those scripts too

It’s been drop dead easy for me too in the past few years. Almost all of my gaming is through Steam and the Proton mode is like, a few extra clicks. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even need to consult ProtonDB for runtime options now.

For old games there’s Lutris and its install scripts are a fuckton easier than trying to manually wrangle shit together (no matter what OS you’re on) which is even better

In fact, my completely non technical (and, notably, non programmer) friend noticed what my experience is like and as a result decided to dual boot on his new gaming rig. Mind blown. I didn’t even do any evangelising or shilling, I guess the best evangelism is just practicing what you (would) preach

I think dual GPU situations like laptops are sometimes a bit of a pain in the ass though from what I read.

I’m using a GTX 1080 Ti and nvidia’s legendary fuckery hasn’t impacted me

That’s a great example of what I was talking about.

It’s also about the situations: regarding clothing, I avoid working for uptight companies that do the whole “serious business” suit and tie thing and instead work for ones where the dress code is wearing jeans and t shirt every day. But I can only do that now that I’m more economically secure and have the CV power to actually get to make that choice.

So I’m never in a situation day to day where I have to wear a stupid scratchy collared shirt. (Ever seen Falling Down? The opening scene was sooooo hard to watch cos it reminded me of that shit)

Better, but I suspect that’s largely due to the fact that im way more economically secure now. Thus I can afford, literally, to avoid situations and sensations I can’t handle.

Thank you so much for that! I’ve been out of the country for a week, will take a look at what’s going on when I get home :)

Under an Arctic Sky. It’s about surfers going to Iceland to… surf, I assume

For real. I’m slowly downloading a documentary from one person right now, it’s been a few weeks and it’ll be a few more, but I thank them for it

Thanks for sharing! TIL about crowdsec

Their revenues are much higher per player now than they were back then. That likely explains why such a large dev team for fewer players

The kind left after “The Sink” incident

To have an easier time with another language (which the first language’s valid syntax is a superset of) which it papers over the faults of. And usually it’s pretty thin paper.

Looks like Crash Bandicoot on drugs

Interesting, self hosting crossplane. What do you use it for?

Haha oh yes… ARFID. Way less serious than it was when I was a kid, though
