heh
  • Ada!

  • 6 stages of debugging
  • if (0 === 0) {
    var_dump($test); die;
    }

  • [louis rossman] What pisses me off about the failed Reddit protest... [Thumbnail Text: Reddit is Winning.]
  • Dont care, just quit Reddit and they can't win. I saw a lot of sub-reddit who said "Well, blackout was great but here we are! Online now!" so... just leave.

  • My best SSTO so far, which can dock to a space station in Mun orbit πŸš€
  • You will, it's hard at the beginning but at the end, you'll get there!

  • My best SSTO so far, which can dock to a space station in Mun orbit πŸš€
  • Let me start by saying that I'm no expert on the subject. I now have around 1,700 hours of play time, but I really started achieving SSTO after 600 hours lol...
    My advice for really getting started would be as follows:

    • Start small, and without any payload. It's easier to make just a small plane capable of going into orbit.

    • If you respect the previous advice, then ONLY use R.A.P.I.E.R. They're very powerful and will get you into orbit with just one or two engines.

    • For your first flight, avoid MK2 parts. Despite their appearance, the drag is dreadful. Use the classic MK1.

    • Don't keep your wings all flat, try to make sure your plane can take off without any input (this isn't the case on this ship, unfortunately, but it's better to do so).

    • Save weight. If you find you've got too much LF left when you go into closed cycle, take it off in the SPH.

    • If your plane can't get above 400m/s without problems at 2km altitude, try a new design.

    • After several tests, if you've reached orbit, you can save fuel by following a precise flight plan. Try to find out. For example, my current ship works very well if I stay at 10Β° during ascent, switch to closed cycle when the engine reaches 20kn thrust, and once my apoapsis is 71km, cut the engine and switch to prograde.

  • An SSTO to the Mun is a serious challenge.

    Ikr, my first version wasn't even necessarily intended to go to the Mun, but when I saw the potential I decided to improve it.

    Are there RCS thrusters to help with the docking?

    Absolutely! You can see some big linear RCS thrusters near the intake, and small ones near the engine. In addition, there is RCS thrusters on wings (to go backward) and on the RAPIER (to go forward)

    My first version could just do a mun fly by, but not anymore with this V2 :D

    tying to move as far away from google as possible. recommendations?
  • For me, even without being paranoid on data :

    • Firefox (I use this since WinXP)
    • Thunderbird for my mail (even if it's shit for me)
    • Pi-hole as DNS
    • Windows as OS (ok it's not the good one, but I think I'm protected via Pi-hole, i don't really know)
    • DuckDuckGo for search
    • Mega as a Google Drive

    Not perfect and I know it, but i try to limit the amount of data I send.

  • Must resist
  • 🀣

  • Hey guys, this time I really messed up :/
  • I think we did a good choice

  • Is this even allowed?
  • And if you like tinkering with things, you can install a Pi-hole on a local Raspberry.

  • If one instance of Kbin die for whatever reason, there is no way to retrieve users and posts from it ?
  • But if someone like your post, this post will be on this other instance is that right? (from what I understood)

  • Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.
  • I'm a web dev and I don't know this lol... So it's just a responsive/ mobile first website.

  • Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.
  • I didn't even know 3rd party apps exists before this storm lol, and I haven't even seen the decline of Reddit because I'm on it since the end of 2019 πŸ˜…
    But I can see that an alternative is really important.

  • /kbin meta @kbin.social PtitSerpent @kbin.social

    If one instance of Kbin die for whatever reason, there is no way to retrieve users and posts from it ?

    Title, I'm really curious because I'm new to this fediverse thing, and I wanted to know if different instances are on a peer-to-peer which could save everything no matter what happens to one instance.
