You did?

Thanks. I mean, it's not like I came to this argument with an full and detailed understanding of the orbital mechanics involved, but I don't think they did either, while displaying the confidence of someone that does.

Yeah, I feel like we're not getting anywhere, and neither of us seems to have the energy to cite any evidence, so let's just agree to disagree.

I do get the energy/velocity aspect, what I am less sure on is whether it is likely that enough material would be placed on courses through higher orbits that a chain reaction in those becomes likely.

I think it's kinda funny to be annoyed about Lemmy "turning into reddit", while also reverting to personal insults.

Sure, but you seem to also present an opinion, based on sentiment from your friends. Since we both seem to lazy to actually figure it out properly, I feel we're at an impasse.

Well, now that we all collectively solved that problem, you gotta go and buy a boat.

Pulling them out of my ass, mostly. Like, the people I know in the field don't seem overly worried, but my own opinion mostly comes from a general awareness that stuff in LEO comes down eventually, and that for the orbit the Starlink Stuff is on, that would probably mean a few years max.

Not my field, and if I actually research it, I might find I'm wrong.

I still maintain that even a complete loss of launch and orbital capability, while of course a great and horrible disaster, wouldn't doom us much more than our current course as a species already is.

As someone guessed above - Stranded: Alien Dawn

Yup, Stranded: Alien Dawn.

Kinda. It's still all very silly and stupid, but the 747-8 is a few metres longer, and generally more modern than the 747-200b the current VC25A are based on.

Earlier this year, I got a game I liked on steam. Pretty much 3d Rimworld. After playing for 20 hours over a few weeks, I sporadically started getting errors about me having "no hardware activations" left for the game, and how I should wait 24 hours. I have never installed it on any other machine.

It is so very silly that a pirated copy would be the more seamless experience.

Oh, I mean, it would be bad, even if it "just" meant no/unsafe launches and no LEO for X months/years. I just kinda feels it pales compared to the climate related problems coming generations are likely to face.

Just me. Since I took that measurement, I changed my habits. I download fewer games, I stream a lot more stuff locally, but I also added a server to my network that does a lot of stuff, including relatively high bitrate video streaming to ten users, so it's probably even more these days.

Look into a low-power server for your boat, try to host as much of you can locally. I'm pretty sure you could fill mot entertainment needs that way, and 'top up' your content via terrestrial Internet when you resupply.

Then it kinda depends on what you need for work. Upload/download code snippets? Video conferencing all day every day? There's like a big span for the bandwidth you might need.

They are low enough that it'd probably fix itself over time. It'd be a big problem, but I feel comming generations have bigger ones.

Also in Europe (Germany). A cap to home Internet is kinda crazy to me. I don't measure my usage, but when I did, I usually used about 2-3tb per month.

I have 1gbps down/300mbps up for 50€. Price is shit compared to other parts of Europe, but I can live with it.

I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.

I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.

I kinda get it with "soft" targets (e.g. Let's see what we can do in a day/weekend). "Hard" targets (you gotta do x in x Minutes) pretty much guarantee I'll get nothing good done.

Yes, I hated every coding exam I've been in.

There where points in time where I had a lightscribe disk, and points in time where I had a lightscribe drive. But never both at the same time. I feel like this says something, but I dunno what.

Hmh. Maybe I phrased that wrong. The one I had is also mass market, in the sense that they're in quite a few supermarkets in several regions of one country.

Kerrygold is just ludicrously mass market, being available in a lot of supermarkets in over 100 countries.
