Monster 310-mile automated cargo conveyor will replace 25,000 trucks
  • Exactly how it'll do this is yet to be nailed down, but individual pallets will carry up to a ton of small cargo items, and they'll move without human interference from one end to the other.

    Someone's been playing Factorio.

  • Dublin Zoo cleared of 17 animal welfare allegations following full investigation
  • Sixteen allegations were categorised as having “no evidence to support the narrative of the allegation” and were unfounded. One was partially supported as “evidence supports the historical allegation, but Dublin Zoo had resolved the issue”.

    Sounds like "whistleblower" in this case is just some prick with a grudge.

  • It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July?
  • Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch is a free fan project created by CutmanMike and Team MM8BDM which translates the Classic Mega Man games into a unique, yet very familiar first person shooter experience

    ... what? Fucking hell these free fan projects are out of control. This looks awesome.

  • SaumonNet/proxmox-nixos: The Proxmox Hypervisor, on NixOS
  • I don't get NixOS

    It's not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you'd then ideally store in a VCS like git.

    I haven't messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

  • Disney told L.A. residents to move to Florida for a planned campus. They did, it was canceled and now they're suing
  • This has become a common strategy for large businesses to cull their employees - "return to office", relocating HQ; it's done in hopes most of those employees opt to quit so the business doesn't have to fire them / give them a severance or whatever.

    Sounds like in this case the bluff was called.

    Hi all, a friend convinced me to give FFXIV a try, and I've just made myself a Conjurer character. I'm barely 5-10 minutes in and damn this game's pretty. Also pleasantly surprised by how solid the controller support is so far.

    Curious if there are any pitfalls I should avoid, or if any of you seasoned players have advice for someone who's just starting out.

    • Currently on the free trial. Does the subscription ever go on sale? I don't doubt its value, but ~$150 USD / year is steep for any game (imo).
    • Are the classes/races decently balanced? I've played other MMOs where the game's just not viable with certain classes.
    • I saw a menu option for macros, and I'd assume that's keyboard-only? Are there any other players using just a controller, or does that become a hinderance at some point?

    Upscaling poor quality content?

    Ahoy, mateys

    I've seen some concert footage on YouTube that's been upscaled via "AI", and some of the examples look incredible.

    Is it possible to upscale the video content I've acquired? I have a few series that look to have been recorded on VHS tapes crammed with dirt.

    Opinions & ideation are welcome. Mostly curious whether it's feasible.

    What's your auto-complete setup?

    Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.

    What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?

    Manifesto (2015), dir. Julian Rosefeldt

    "Manifesto" has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There's some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett's incredible performances.

    Highly recommended for folks that like "artsy" movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), dir. Tone Hooper

    ~45 minutes in. This brief little moment with Leatherface might be my favorite scene in the movie. The way he lumbers to the window, glances anxiously outside, and puts his head in his hands... without a word we see a glimpse of his humanity. Is Leatherface a psychotic murderer, taking joy in killing these teens? Or is he the homemaker, protecting his family's property from these strangers who barged in? What's actually going on in his head?

    Love this flick.
