  • I’m afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.

    It’s widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS’es meaning it’s easy to setup by and explain to others.

    The two extensions I’m missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the “Remote - SSH” extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.

    Besides this, I’ll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I’ll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.


  • That’s weird. I just tested it with a friend (I’m on Endeavour, she’s on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that’s all.

    EDIT: No, you’re right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I’m pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element).

    Ignoring space for a moment, it depends whether you see time as a single - linear - dimension, or as a set of n dimensions.

    If time can only exist as a single dimension, then yes, we’d have a paradox.

    If time is two-(or more)-dimensional, then you’d just step into a parallel timeline/dimension for every change made, forsaking the old timeline Steins’ Gate-style.

    Obviously, 2+ dimensional time cannot be proven, so it’s just a fun thought experiment. It’s not entirely unlike the hypothetical 4th dimension of space - which would leave space-time with 4 dimensions of space and one of time.

    That’s what we Europeans call a “petty answer to the disgrace that is Amarican military time” (not the be confused with regular Amarican time and dates, which don’t allow overflow, as far as I’m aware). The date described above is clearly “the second of March, 2015” or 2015-03-02.


  • 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?).








  • I’d love to see a modern mmofps, I can’t think of anything coming close to Planetside on that front.

    That said, I mostly did TR flash zergs when running solo, and VS C4 fairies when my friends were online.

    We all kinda dropped the game after the Combined Arms Initiative was rolled out and removed the need for vehicles, as heavies were stronger than MAXes and could solo pretty much all armor without breaking a sweat, and we could break up a hours-long tank line stalement using a sunderer and 3 Archer-equipped engineers. (Multiple tanks and some infantry peeled off to stop us, but we could kill pretty much anything with 2-3 salvos, usually before they found us. The sunderer was mostly just to get there).



  • I returned them. And I did indeed get the name wrong as they are a series of WiFi mesh towers named ‘Deco X20’ and not ‘Deca’.

    I do already use DD-WRT in my home network, but these were meant to provide a network-on-a-budget out in the field, aka. a stand-in for professional solutions which other people should be able to set up too, so I wanted to modify them as little as possible.

    WiFi extenders do technically fit my requirements (and I’ve got them working mostly successful), but, as far as I’m aware, mesh is specifically made for the purpose of having a seamless WiFi device transfer from one tower to another, and where one can form a circle or “spiderweb” pattern with the signal taking the best (distance/speed/reliability) route back to the router - which is what I need.

    Ubiquity seems to have gained traction lately, so I’ll throw them an E-Mail whether their devices are too smart to be usable too.
