From the first Amiga Mod I ever heard to... "Robot Band Plays 'Axel F'". Cutie.

Yes. A couple hours ago, on the (current) default theme, the KSP was missing and the text "Kerbal Space Program Forum" was being shown instead. Since this is fixed now, it's obvious that they are trying to "normalize" the asset's location so they could migrate the Forum into Invision's servers - where almost surely everything should follows some guidelines or it will just not work. Assuming, of course, that we are not there yet (I'm not checking anything this week - Murphy attacked on DayJob©) and this happened exactly due that. Software is essentially a Castle of Cards, all it's needed for everything falling down spectacularly is removing a single one of that cards - all we can do is to try to code really sturdy cards as we are near the Castle's foundations, but they will still be cards, sturdy or not. ---- POST EDIT ---- Nope, we aren't there yet. We are still using an AWS IP, the same one since January 24th when Forum came back from the darkness.

Someone recreated the 78' BattleStar Galactica "CGI" using (almost) the same hardware!

And I will probably do it for a long time. Steam's Support is stalling me - no way a Support ticket about updating the Deck could be misunderstood as a connection problem while playing games. That, or whatever is the automated sorting mechanism they are using is a complete crap, because - DAMN - no one cares to read the data on the Ticket anymore? Really, I'm concluding that VALVe fired some people they shouldn't in the last spending cut (and not only on R&D). DAMN.

One bingo is an accident, two a coincidence. Three bingos is a conspiration!!! It's some tome since I don't see @Spaceman.Spiff around here. Ping?

No, you are not. It's something on newer KSPs that need to be worked around. Can you reproduce the problem, then quit KSP, then send me KSP.log, Player.log and the craft file you used? If you have a github account, you can used this issue: https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/BonVoyage/issues/5

Oukey, LEGO may not be the most popular toy around here nowadays but this video is pretty good!!

It can try...

I second that. In the end, it boils down to Pain Management. Where you are willing to take the pain and for how long. Doing things in house usually is a frequent source of small and quick pains, while relying on 3rd parties where you are merely just one small part of the their incoming will most of the time give you very rare but really huge [and long standing] pains, one of them will eventually kill you. --- POST EDIT ---

I don't know about where you live, but here we have the option to pay insurance for our Credit Card transactions. If something goes wrong, the Bank will take the hit for you. It's kinda cheap, about the equivalent of 3 USD a month per CC (even taking in account the exchange for a weak local currency), but there're caveats - there're some rules you need to follow to avoid losing the "premium". The very interesting bit is that since I decided to pay for this thing, I was never scammed again - they have a pretty effective algorithm to detect smelly transcations, and when in doubt, they enter in contact somehow asking if the transaction is legit. Never lost a penny since then. One would argue that this kind of security should be standard for every CC, as every legislation I'm aware of make clear the CC operator is responsible to keep things secure but... Since the day that I could had been scammed by 1.5 times my monthly income (gross), I gave up fighting this fight and I'm paying insurance for my CCs (I have one for local transactions, and other exclusive for international ones - this makes things way easier to follow up).

UUUhhhh... We have a bingo..... I was wondering... Would @Caerfinon be on the house?

If the data I got from the last borkage worths something, it's a hell of a closet inside an AWS datacenter!

I'm complaining about the Steam Deck updates for months. VALVe botched something very serious, and this is starting to screw more people besides me. Well... Apparently, we have more than one problem to cope with and, obviously, my cheeks was bitten by all of them. But I least I solved one of the problems. It's related to BTRFS and how as time goes by your real available space can be way less than the used volume space subtracted from the volume size - something due fragmentation of the chucks used to store the files. So a process relying on the intuitive process of total - used will eventually think there's way more space available then it really are, and then this process will die due out of space. Balancing the free space using a special command defrags the chunks and reclaim the space back, solving the problem. But... Since the damned update process is 100% opaque, I never knew exactly why the Updating process was dying in the middle of the process until I had a hunch, balanced my volume and now the Updating finishes successfully - or near it, becasue now when it reaches 100%, the word "Checking" is printed on the screen and then a Error Message saying the update had failed is shown. (sigh) But at least now the process finishes, instead of hanging forever forcing me to reboot the rig. If at least the updating process would be being logged, so we can audit it and see what's happening, not? At least the disk space program I would had solved two months ago. What leads to the rant of the semester: why in freaking hell companies go to the extra mile to make things so hard to diagnose? I could had solve at least part of the problem months ago if I could find the freaking log. And if I had access to it now, I'm almost surely would know what's screwing with the process now. ---- Link for future reference.

I could be playing Star Citizen or No Man's Sky. But, not, I'm playing Star Explorers.

Or, if the dude is the kind of Sun of a Beach some of the most intelligent people I know are, just monitoring who is who and taking notes... Exactly my point. The interesting bits about this drama is: There's nothing more to complain about except by pinpoint that they had burnt out before and posted something like that before? Really? This is all you guys care about? Why it's so important to pinpoint the perceived user's fault and not the faults that leaded them to the outburst? This sounds like a "straw-man", with people trying hard to hide the real problems that leaded to this outcome by criticizing the outcome, and not the events that leaded to it. At the same time that reveals who we are when nobody is looking. People don't waste time complaining about insignificant things (for them). If they care to complain about this thread is because this thread is disturbing them for some reason. Since it's clear that they don't care about the OP, then it's clear that they are bothered by something he's doing - or, in this specific case, bothered by something being exposed as consequence of that the OP is doing. When I was a kid, I remember I was sent to Principal due something bad I had done. There was that other kid that though I would just let him bully me forever, and one day I lost it and did to him 10 times fold what he was used to do with me - yeah, I was already like that when a kid. I remember thinking "why I was sent to Principal the first time I did something like that while the other dude was repeatedly doing it to me unchecked?" Then my uncle explained to me: it was because I was complaining to my teacher that was trying to handle things the best her authority allowed, while he gone crying loud and dramatically directly to the Principal. Well, both of us got grounded in the end. But only one of us was bothered by it, and it wasn't me. Well... Perhaps just a bit... But the lesson stuck: had I gone directly to the Principal, dramatically crying, I would not had been bullied for so much time. Being the reason that turning this Forum into a circus would make that other places less worst, and so more acceptable. There're people that, unable to make their own place better, use their efforts to make other's worst so they would not feel bad by comparing them - and/or prevent people from leaving their place to come to the better one.

Just found this lass today. Good stuff, Bonnie Raitt.

As a matter of fact, probably two by now. Worst than the worst IRC channels I ever attended, and I had attended some pretty weird ones... Messages. People make friends here, and then log in to exchange private messages now and then. ----------- @Scarecrow71, in the same of your sanity I would recommend to go to this page: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ignore/ And then add everybody that mentions it on that text box and then activate the Mention block (at very least). I had noticed that some Users don't have the "last visited" data in their profiles, perhaps it would be a good idea to ask a moderator to set it up for you, as I didn't found a setting to do that anywhere on my profile and settings page.

If I would have 1USD every time some complains about someone leaving (or not), I would had paid my mortgage by now...

Assuming we would still be allowed to mod the game, of course. But even without mods, the Community is, indeed, the soul of Kerbals. I had seen some pretty nice videos made on Console on Reddit!

A lot of my planes did that to me.... https://www.instagram.com/colchrishadfield/reel/DH_Fd_vO1jQ/

Because he wants whatever would be the benefits from attending a University at the same time he see all of that crap as a idiotic and artificial imposition aimed merely to prevent "people like them" from doing it. They look at the Boomers and the wealth they have and see it as the reason he's struggling, because if Boomers would not had been "hoarding" such wealth, the money would be flowing towards them and their life would be easier. C'mon, we were all teenagers once - and we all had our resentments toward the old guys by being constantly told "no" for most things we would like to do! (and it's probably the reason we are alive today ). But we had grew up and got over it. They don't. One possible way to explain this generational phenomena is Narcissism. Not saying that the newer generations are more Narcissistic than the previous ones - some studies I had heard about says the Narcissism as a Pathology have the same incidence nowadays than in the past, what's happening is that it's being easier to identify them nowadays due the better awareness we have - but is a fact that Narcissistic behaviours are more rewarding nowadays, so "normal people" are internalizing them as an acceptable social trait. And, so, "normal people" ends up behaving narcissistically because they weren't taught to know better. The consequences of this social ticking bomb on the future is, frankly, worrying. Wars had happened in the past as consequence of such generational grudge as this is easily exploitable politically.

Was looking for KISS, and found this in the way. Excellent!

I.A. and LLMs will lead the way!!

Absolutely outstanding! https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/UbioWeldContinuum/issues/5 I can't make any promises, I don't know even if this would be possible - but I will not forget the idea. It looks promising, at least, and may be the feature that would solve a lot of incompatibilities for good - the less modules I shove on the welded part, the lesser are the chances of some of them pick a fight with each other.
