  • This sounds like a job for a raspberry pi 5 with an m.2 hat for storage, software is a less important choice here, so ubuntu's raspberry pi flavour would be my choice. Just make sure you give it power in a form it likes.

  • Putting Privacy Focused Free Speech VPS Providers To The Test.
  • Nowhere was I defending op, just commenting on how weird the Japanese are. You're right about the symbol, I missed that it didn't have a circle, although the term 'ukronazi' is a bit out of place; Ukraine was invaded, not invading. You're right about weebs, this is what comes of fetishising a culture that isn't taught about the second world war.

  • The Japanese are a bit different when it comes to Nazi imagery, it seems they don't mean anything by it: they just aren't taught about the second world war properly.

    I would say 'at least it's a peace sign' but, you know, so was the swastika before someone put it in a white circle on a red background and marched into Poland...

  • New weapon being developed to blast drones out of sky with radio waves, says MoD
  • Enough to make sure that whatever you're zapping stays zapped. Similarly with the DragonFire laser they showed off recently that costs £10 per shot, the cost effectiveness makes these tools much more viable against cheap drone swarms than a £1000,000 missile

  • I think that part of Emil's problem as a writer is that he writes stories that don't allow for the player to be part of the process. It's Emil's story, we just play it.

    Fallout 4 was such a mess because they tried to make the Institute an evil monster and a viable player faction which led to a huge conflict between the stated goals of the Institute and its actual actions. Which wouldn't be so bad if the player could confront them about it but not being able to do so makes the player feel disconnected from the character (in my opinion).

    In a TV show that need to respond to player choice doesn't exist which is why it felt more natural. Having other writers on hand didn't hurt either.

  • Proton 9.0 Beta updated and nearing release for Linux / Steam Deck
  • I haven't tried it recently, but I remember having problems with it, let me reinstall it quickly Edit: Installing the unofficial patch wasn't intuitive, but it worked fine and I'm having a great time again

  • Your barren urban sprawl: Tolkien's modern Mordor in the making.
  • China ended their one child policy because it had succeeded. Parents killing their daughters was a cultural issue particularly in rural farming communities who depended on their sons for labour. We can't uncritically assume that any given implementation of a childbirth disincentivisation policy will lead to infanticide.

    1. One-child policies have been sucessful in China and India, disincentivising large families doesn't need to include banning people from having kids

    2. No, the government should encourage busineses to disperse throughout the country and build affordable housing in multiple smaller cities

    3. Again, no. Nature can only cope with a certain amount of foot traffic, the natural areas surrounding a city will survive better with fewer people

    4. Tokyo is over 80 miles across. It takes over an hour to drive from one side to the other on the motorway It also isn't particularly dense; it has a lower population density than London or Madrid. It's just big.

    Going back to the original post, compare the Shire to Mordor. If you had as many hobbits as you had orcs they wouldn't all fit in the shire (without building highrises). Their low density village centric way of life only works because there aren't very many of them.

  • Your barren urban sprawl: Tolkien's modern Mordor in the making.
  • Implement proper demography and population growth schemes so that you don't end up with so many people in the first place, manage your population distribution on a national level so as not to overwhelm the natural resources of any one area, build walkable communities with a variety of density to suit peoples differing needs

  • Deus Ex and the federated net

    One of the things that Deus Ex captured really well was the pseudonymous federated internet; interactions between random strings on different networks that could go on and on without either party learning who they were speaking to. Alex Jacobson had no idea that the Oracle he was receiving messages from was actually a self aware AI on the net.
