Kiwi-built amateur rocket reaches space: 'Pretty amazing'
  • Mach 5.6, or around 1.9 kilometres a second

    One of these numbers is wrong, as the mach number is defined using the local speed of sound, which changes a lot as you go further up in the thinner atmosphere.

  • What GPU for ~€300 should I get?
  • It's the Oblivion remaster that prompted this search for me. I just assumed my 1060 was way underpowered. It's not really loading textures for me until I wait several seconds, fps issues, etc. But you're saying it might be shit even with a good GPU?

  • What GPU for ~€300 should I get?

    Hi all, I have transitioned my desktop PC to linux and am really liking it so far. I recently bought Oblivion Eemastered, but it seems like it's too much for my old 1060 6gb to handle. So now I'm looking at what options are available - and would obviously like to get an option that works well with Linux. Since I don't game as much anymore, I don't think I can justify spending much more than €300 on it. I haven't looked at the GPU market for 8 years now, so I don't know what's going. What advice do you people have? I have looked at the 4060, the 7600 and the 7600XT, but not sure if they are good value, I'm getting mixed info online.

    I appreciate any help and advice you people have.

  • You can launch to sun-synchronous orbits at all parts of the year. The satellite will orbit around once per 24 hours and so return to the same place at the same time everyday. So you just have to match when you launch with the time of day.

  • Delusional techie is very scared of Chinese Deepseek

    This guy is very very scared of Deepseek and all the potential malicious things it will do, seemingly due to the fact that it's Chinese. As soon as the comments point out that ChatGPT is probably worse, he disagrees with no reasoning. !

    Transcription:

    DeepSeek as a Trojan Horse Threat.

    DeepSeek, a Chinese-developed Al model, is rapidly being installed into productive software systems worldwide. Its capabilities are impressive-hyper-advanced data analysis, seamless integration, and an almost laughably low price. But here's the problem: nothing this cheap comes without a hidden agenda.

    What's the real cost of DeepSeek?

    1. Suspiciously Cheap Advanced models like DeepSeek aren't "side projects." They take massive investments, resources, and expertise to develop. If it's being offered at a fraction of its value, ask yourself-who's really paying for it?

    2. Backdoors Everywhere DeepSeek's origin raises alarm bells. The more systems it infiltrates, the more it becomes a potential vector for mass compromise. Think backdoors, data exfiltration, and remote access at scale-hidden vulnerabilities deliberately built in.

    3. Wide Adoption = Global Risk From finance to healthcare, DeepSeek is being installed across critical systems at an alarming rate. If adoption continues unchecked, 80% of our systems could soon be compromised.

    4. The Trojan Horse Effect DeepSeek is a textbook example of a Trojan horse strategy: lure organizations with a cheap, powerful tool, infiltrate their systems, and quietly map or control them. Once embedded, reversing the damage will be nearly impossible.

    The Fairytale lsn't Real

    The story of DeepSeek being a "low-cost, side project" is just that-a fairytale. Technology like this isn't developed without strategic motives. In the world of cyber warfare, cheap tools often come at the highest cost.

    What Can We Do?

    Audit your systems: Is DeepSeek already embedded in your critical infrastructure?

    Ask the hard questions: Why is this so cheap? Where's the transparency?

    Take immediate action: Limit adoption before it's too late. The price may look attractive, but the real cost could be our collective security.

    Don't fall for the fairytale.

    Any recommendations for a good FOSS podcast app for Android.

    I have been using PocketCasts for a long time, but it's been enshitifying for a while now. The most annoying part is the huge amount of ads that are inserted in the podcasts, and I can't even tell if that money goes to the creators or to PocketCasts.

    So any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Convicted marijuana smuggler face of Trump's plan to buy Greenland [Article in Danish]
    www.dr.dk Dømt hashsmugler blev ansigt på Trumps Grønlands-planer: 'Virker mildest talt en smule uheldigt'

    Ekspert "tvivler på, at han er blevet tjekket", inden Trumps stab har delt videoen.

    Dømt hashsmugler blev ansigt på Trumps Grønlands-planer: 'Virker mildest talt en smule uheldigt'

    [Article in Danish. Relevant video and truth? in beginning of article in English]

    Trump really only has the best people supporting him. The person his team found to interview as a part of Trump Jr's trip to Greenland is convicted of weed smuggling and violent crime. So about as well vetted as his cabinet picks.

    This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist.

    I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

    [Feature request] Per account filter settings

    I love the filter settings you have, but it would be nice if I could for example mute a specific NSFW instance on one account while keeping it non muted on my ahem, alt account.
