Yeah but they have a useful instrument panel. The panels in SC are not particularly useful except for combat. There's 3 separate graphs that display your power usage in the Cutlass, not counting the HUD.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but landing in hangars or on pads in SC requires third person mode. You have no tools to check your clearance except experience. I have no issue landing F-35s in VTOL VR without autopilot assistance, or flying IFR/VFR in MSFS, but in SC I feel like I'm piloting a brick through a tank-commanders vision slits. Even dedicated fighters place the pilot so low in the cockpit that the entire bottom half of the screen is just interior and MFDs. Real fighter pilots can look down at a decent angle, because visual is essential in dogfighting which is the only kind of fighting this game has.

The intention is for SC to be a space sim sandbox,

But it's not, it's a tech demo where your ship blows up on the pad for no reason

I booted it up yesterday. Flew around at 10 FPS and gawked at some pretty locations. Bought armor and weapons for my allotted alpha money and crashed.

Booted it back up today, all gone. FPS was better. Took an elevator and got stuck in an ether-world. Respawned. Had to wait 10 real-time minutes for my ship to be "delivered" to the station it should've already been at. Flew to a lagrange point just to see the volumetric gas clouds. Couldn't find any stations. RTB, quit, uninstalled.

I'm going to be brutally honest; if they do not start designing their ship cockpits with at least input from a real pilot then I'm gonna start being upset about it. You can't see anything! Huge canopies in fighter cockpits, can't see shid. I would accept this if they had implemented synthetic vision so you could just x-ray through the ship hull, but you can't, and I've never heard them talk about it so I assume it's not on the table. A lot of the ship HUDs are also dense with useless information, blocking more of my view.

Yeah, I've had fun too, but on playthrough 4+ they don't add anything. It's just stress. I'm good enough at this game to not worry much about it, but it's still a net negative. If they are very susceptible to this kind of stress, I'm saying they can just turn them off. They don't add anything to the core gameplay except time stress and that's good for some and bad for others. One of the major strengths of Factorio is how expansive the vanilla options are.

SEO sucks My site, which has actual content, doesn't even show up on google. Someone else with the same domain and a different tld who has no content on his site is at the top. They have a marketing team, how am I gonna compete? Don't worry about SEO, just have good content. People are gonna find it, SEO or not.

I must have a thousand hours in this game by now; just try it without the biters. I don't bother them anymore, either. It's literally just stress, they add nothing else.

Thank God

People will recommend Navidrome- but if you're like me then your music collection is organized by folders and not metadata. Navidrome does not and will never (developer said as much) support folder-based browsing.

I recommend using Gonic https://github.com/sentriz/gonic and then a compatible Subsonic client. Gonic has been the simplest and smoothest out-of-house music streaming experience for me.

hopefully they continue listening and iterating after release as well.

Those are called DLC and that's Paradox' whole deal

Literally everyone is not listening to what I'm saying so I'll just say it here again as clear as I can:

YouTube costs money because infrastructure costs are exponential. It doesn't have to be that way. Host your own shit, it's so unbelievably cheap.

I have my own live-streaming infrastructure. I have my own music streaming infrastructure. I have my own video sync infrastructure that so far has not even stuttered for people on the other side of the globe even with 30+ people watching at once. This costs jack shit to do. Spread it out. Host your own.

This is of course ignoring that corporate executive pay is insane and you could definitely cut that in half, but we don't. We pass the costs of the fifth execute yacht to the consumers, and here we have like 5 people defending that structure as if it just has to be that way. It doesn't. It wasn't like that before Google started owning everything.

And yes, for the record, I am not using YouTube. YouTube currently barely works on my browser so I just don't use it.

Good luck

What if, and bare with me man I know this is complicated shit, you spread those out a little bit? You know, like it was before Google exterminated independent platforms? I promise you 490 hours of those 500 hours uploaded sits at 3 views for eternity.

YouTube was convenient and free before Google bought it, and that's why we all congregated here. Google then used that power to entrench themselves and now it's YouTube or nothing. If YouTube is too expensive to host, so be it. Let it die. It's the internet, someone will make a better version that's completely free. Peertube already exists and is scalable.

Who was it that told you YouTube was so expensive to run? Google? I couldn't imagine why the company, with a vested interest in making you think ads are essential, would tell you that YouTube is like super duper totally expensive.

Please explain to me how it is that my website, despite serving lossless music and video streaming and a photogallery, doesn't actually cost me anything except the electric bill which is so negligible that I don't even bother considering it in my low-income no-job budget. I would love to hear why this isn't possible.

I, too, remember the days before YouTube where videos literally did not exist on the internet! So innovative of Google, inventing video hosting.

Because it's the video platform, King.

By your logic, my website shouldn't exist because it's too expensive. By your logic, videos didn't exist before YouTube. You are at odds with reality.

I literally don't have a job and host a website with 249971 requests served april-october. This shit isn't expensive, google makes it expensive. Before YouTube we just had other websites with videos.

e: I got it wrong, it's 525154 (valid) requests april-october with 85340 unique IPs after filtering my own.

The internet used to be free before corporations got here.

Reverse proxy maybe?

mydomain.org/nextcloud gets reverse-proxied to mydomain.org:1234 and will appear as the former.

It's monday

That just sounds like overclocking to me
