Unless your a business
woven wing
I can get 2.5 here for $30 more a month
mild gust
You will likely never need anywhere close
woven wing
But I'm seriously asking myself what could I even use it for
white oxide
yeah gigbit is more than enough
white oxide
im happy splitting my internet bill with my dad (same property different house)
now wiring the fiber split from HIS house to mine was the minor nightmare
and i went a little over
got 100 meters of wire
needed maybe 80
mild gust
Oh you wired it yourself?
mild gust
Nice
white oxide
then i wired a switch to split the wire in the wall both into his house and out to mine
you can see the trench in the second photo
so, I was going to rent a proper trencher
woven wing
Oh wow, I'm doing the exact same thing pretty soon
mild gust
Nice
woven wing
My parents are getting a bit older, so I'm building a house on their land to help them out
white oxide
but the guy doing out septic had an excavator, so i paid him $20 and a whole pan worth of brownies to dig me a trench
im the disabled one
but yeah
nice bachelor pad
well if you dont have kids, a couple could live happy
woven wing
1br and a loft br is what I'm building
white oxide
only difference between this and the house thats built is the hot water heater doesnt have its own closet
and the cat door was moved to the other side of the sliding glass door
this is only like 3 weeks ago and so much has changed
woven wing
Is that all your lights on one circuit?
woven wing
Oh, those cat walks are such a good idea
white oxide
theres a breaker for lights and plugs in each room
and all 4 of the exterior plugs are on their own breakers
the kitchen breakers are split into sink, oven, and island breakers
theres 56 breakers between 2 panels in this house
fridge is also on its own breaker:
each color is its own breaker
Im a big cooker
mild gust
😮
white oxide
technically Michelin star rated
white oxide
worked as one of the assistant cooks to the main guy at a local 1 star restraunt
white oxide
oh i can make just about anything with the ingredients
white oxide
but yeah
mild gust
One place I worked was a pub but cooked everything from scratch
So had lots of training
white oxide
different breakers because i have huge stand mixers, bread makers, and griddles
range is induction too
mild gust
Need more air fryers
woven wing
I'm thinking about not even having an oven
white oxide
i have a 6 qt one i bought today
mild gust
I'm waiting for the first commercial air fryer
white oxide
they techincally have those
mild gust
Ima tell my work to buy it
woven wing
I bought one of those oven style airfryers like 5 years ago and haven't touched my oven a single time since then
white oxide
hard to find non convection ovens unless your bottom of the barrel cheapo oven hunting
woven wing
I wonder if you can get non-cooktop ovens
white oxide
you mean without the stovetop?
mild gust
Yeah
white oxide
yeah wall ovens
mild gust
Those are quite common now
white oxide
we had one since i was a kid, not really that costly but it just fits a different design style
mild gust
Installation is usually the costly part
woven wing
Yeah, because I want a nice induction cooktop and if I get an oven it'll be something cheap for a turkey once a year
white oxide
the house i grew up in was built in the 80's and was designed with wall ovens in mind
but i wanted a big 30 inch range
(oven and cooktop)
mild gust
😮
white oxide
got induction for the faster boil and energy saving
also the fact its safer for kids
unborn lotus
you mean without the stovetop?
like one you put in a cabinet?
white oxide
yeah
when you remove the boiling water pot within seconds the stovetop is safe to touch
induction is awesome
woven wing
Oh yeah, something like this is perfect
white oxide
and the salesman that convinced me to change did a damn good job
white oxide
yeah wall ovens are pretty common
woven wing
I didn't even know they existed
white oxide
oh yeah i did my dads when his 30 year old wall oven croaked
well it got to the point we couldnt find parts for it anymore that werent $80
unborn lotus
I didn't even know they existed
built-in ovens in english I guess
we have that and a half induction stove on top
white oxide
but yeah
unborn lotus
only ever need 2 circles for cooking
white oxide
Im excited to move in
the current problem is me and my builders are currently mutually pissed at each other
mild gust
Uh oh
white oxide
they promised in december to finish before may
mild gust
Time to crack the whip
white oxide
cause dad whose helping me pay for this (50/50 and then i pay him the mortgage with no interest to cover the rest), was going to do his yearly backpacking may 2nd
which means 2-3 weeks where reaching him is pretty much impossible
they only got to a "we can finish it tomorrow" this last friday
...
so low and behold, no check, cause we both need to sign off on the final result
they acted super offended that it was going to be 2 weeks
before they could get paid
called all the work off until dad gets back
they were the ones who wasted the 5 months they had to get everything done
they were off by like 2 weeks
mild gust
What a bunch of noobs
white oxide
and part of their mean is that (they can do it per build contract) they said i cant move my stuff in until they get that paycheck
like mf
i get not letting me actually live there
they havent gotten fully paid
but I have a 960 square foot houses worth of furniture, plates, and such sitting in my dads house
originally the plan was they finish before he leaves, and i spend those 3 weeks setting my house up for me
he comes back to a perfectly clean house thats devoid of all my shit
mild gust
Maybe you guys just need to invoke the power of the cheeto god king
white oxide
tbh what we needed was builders who really understood deadlines
mild gust
Shoulda gone to Rona
mild gust
white oxide
this is going to take forever to backup
mild gust
Need a nas
white oxide
hah
more that its just taking more than 10 minutes to back up 400gb
eh i may just bring it in and have the pros do the backup
so i dont have too
mild gust
Why not just do it when you have down time like sleeping

Good morning! 🌞
I am glad you liked the comic. What's a Scottish Fold?
The text in the three panels is an indication of my evolution as a drawing monitor 'specialist'. In the first panel, I etched the text one letter at a time, very carefully.
In the second, I tried writing cursive but found out that that doesn't work out well when I keep the canvas straight.
By the third panel, I had figured out that you CAN tilt the canvas in Krita easily. 😄 That's where the cursive signature and better hand writing start appearing.

In a very weak way, as in we have paused our operations. They sent more drones at us last night, in violation of said ceasfire. Tonight, apparently, nothing. However, we are still hunting terrorists.
Today, we killed the 3 guys responsible for killing the 26/28 Indians.

So far, not tonight. Until last night, yes.

Well, if you add some supplement powder to it.
Wait, you already get supplement supplemented soda.

Well, we have no further news from Balochistan yet. If that pans out, Pakistan will need a lot of sodas.

Dunno. The ball's in Pak's court now.

Too many cameras to hide atrocities now.

The problem is, it's technically still Pak territory.
The UN hasn't recognised it. India hasn't either. Not yet.
So....... 🤷 Anything can happen (by anything, I mean bad things).

Or sodas.

Problem is, even if the UN agrees to send peacekeepers, see whose name is there among the top contributors of troops?

There's also some interesting day/night cycle plugin coming in 5.6
At least seemed to be
median wraith
it's still kinda strange after 10 years that the landscapes didn't get a runtime editing mode
median wraith
well isn't that expensive to edit a heightmap
and you can reuse the texture to rebuild all so
median wraith
BF4 and BF3 had it right
median wraith
What if it's a 1k texture
Well once did a 10km landscape with 2k so xD
mild gust
This interests me a lot, the ephemeris
mild gust
Well once did a 10km landscape with 2k so xD
How was it?
I tried a 8k landscape recently with a 4k heightmap
Got to foliage and it was clear it was going to have issues
May be better in 5.6

Nope

Had rvt enabled though

There's been talk of that steam hack being fake also
Normally XDA posts proper news, but this was also posted in a nvidia discord 🤷
summer cedar
Yeah, I remember something like that.
mild gust
But this article was talking about someone hacked not steam directly
mild gust
But a service they allegedly used
summer cedar
We are all leaky. 🔧
mild gust
This opened up the question: how did the leak occur? At the time of writing, it doesn't seem like people really know. The first port of call was Valve itself, but that didn't seem to be the source. Fingers then pointed at Twilio, stating that it handled Steam's 2FA systems and that the leak occurred from within its systems, but Valve then got in touch with MellowOnline1 and claimed that it had never used Twilio.
So it's probably just a AI slop article
I woke up to that and didn't get a chance to read into it more
summer cedar
Well, there's been a lot of cyberwarfare going around the last couple of days.
I was reading that India got hit by Pak and China more than 1.5 million times. I doubt the number was that high, but still....
mild gust
Oh sheet
summer cedar
It's not out of the question for Indian Steam accounts to have been targeted.
mild gust
Article said something like 2/3rds of the database was leaked
summer cedar
Of course, reporting also says ALL attempts were rebuffed. Doubt the ALL, but a vast majority probably.
regal pecan
if steam denies using twilio at all then twilio should have taken the opportunity to have their denial written by the snarkiest six year old they could find.
summer cedar
They will, once child labour laws have been modified. 😄
Lol. 🤣 Things are moving so quickly here, politically. It's almost like binge watching a TV series. 📺

Okay. It was apparently 1.5 million cyber attacks across infrastructure websites, over the last couple of days. Only 150 of them succeeded. Hooray for AI-based security systems, and good human techs.

@pearl elk damm you are right we are at id tech 8 lol. just noticed it with the new doom release
I do remember Rage was id tech 5, and the new doom wasn't like id Tech 6?
Why so many changes since the last?

Indiana jones also 8?
Id Tech 7
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is developed using a custom engine called Motor, which is based on id Tech 7.

well this one looks really open world or so
so they could make a new rage
wait, wasn't the old doom light realtime?

Huh.
The Doom client size is only 69.5GB.
That's.... refreshing.
I expected 150GB or something.

God no. Doom.

DOOM: The Dark Ages, to be precise.
Preinstalling, but I think I can play it when I get up tomorrow.
I need to try Revenge of the Savage Planet also.
mild gust
It released for some people I guess
mild gust
Doom: The Dark Ages offered early access to pre-order customers. Players who pre-ordered the game could start playing it on May 12, 2025, in the Western Hemisphere, and on May 13, 2025, in African and Eurasian regions.
So they can get out day 1 bugs
Which is a good idea
summer cedar
Yeah, there was this other game where I took advantage of the same deal.
I forget, but perhaps that was with EA or something.

Nyah.
