Multiplayer Co-op games
  • I'm too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven't elaborated on yet.

    Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I'm absolutely going to get my money's worth - this kind of game just doesn't exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.

  • Potential shitstorm brewing over ubiquitous serde crate
  • I've read the thread; Rust-folk I recognize seem to accept that this was done to reduce compile time without suspecting bad-faith, but I can't independently verify that.

    There's a post in there where sometime tries to manually compile the same binary to verify that it matches the shipped binary and they were not able to do it, but there could be a good reason for that. Reproducible builds are hard.

  • [Hyprland] My first rice!
  • It's "rice" because it's asian; it's a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

    Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn't the same everywhere.

    Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don't think they are aware of what I'm recalling here.

  • This is not answering your question (I can't argue for my current SWR, it's the trinity study minus a random fudge factor), but I've implemented an idea that I think others would benefit from.

    I've been tracking my current withdrawal rate through time, based on my periodic calculation of baseline expenses. I suppose I could use actual expenses, but that's remarkably volatile, so instead I take the 6 month average of recurring costs.

    The benefit is a nice time series graph I can watch. I can plot a horizontal line for my current expected return on capital, and another for my safe withdrawal rate.

    The net result is a lot of information condensed nicely. You can see at a glance if you're trending towards safety, or away from it.

  • The Wicked Problem of Trading
    matthewscheffel.com The Wicked Problem of Trading

    My last post was about what makes trading so attractive, and so dangerous. It marks a turning point in my own mindset towards trying to be a good trader. What Does a Good Trader Look Like? To me, a good trader is: never exposed to unlimited risk never over-leveraged does not steal from people for th...

    I wrote a farewell to the thousand plus hours I spent on trading

    I traded futures in my personal account, worked for a small trading firm, and have always been into a rational, scientific look at evidence.

    I gave it as good of a try as any retail trader can, and learned a lot. Mostly that it's a waste of time, because trading is a wicked problem.

    This is a plea to others that might get sucked in to run away and touch grass instead.

  • "The Lemmy Overseer" as I understand it is a backend service that gives us an API to use.

    There is an open-source script for interacting with it. However, it does not tell you how that backend service works, exactly. It's a black box with well defined interfaces, best case, as I understand it.

  • Repaired an Octatrack DPS-1! ("performance mixer", music thing)
    matthewscheffel.com Elektron Octatrack DPS-1 Audio Input/Output Repair

    Secondary Market Problems Aren’t Excellent I bought a used Elektron Octatrack DPS-1 on Reverb in the spring of 2023. The condition of the device was listed as “excellent”, and it seemed that way. By the time I had the hang of the device, I noticed the audio connections were spotty. Volume was incons...

    ...

    Luckily, I had some repair tools (specifically a hot air rework station), enough experience to make me cocky, and a general disregard for the risk of destroying the thing.

    It's as good as new now! Details in the attached link, I hope it helps someone else; I was flying blind.

    Introducing The Lemmy Overseer
  • Important question; author kind of answers here:

    If I were to rely on this for my instance, I would require that it be completely transparent and open source. It doesn't look like this is; you have to trust that it is making good selections, and give it power over your federation status. It's a dangerous tool, IMO, but I can understand why it would have appeal right now.

  • I tried mending on a whim and this is who I am now

    I'm grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread

    I'm not very good at it, but it's not terribly hard to close up broken seams good enough for some use. It sure as heck beats buying a new pair of jeans for $70 just because I somehow destroy the crotch every year

    I'm finding this to be really satisfying and relatively easy to do. Certainly I can develop better stitching technique and use better tools and material, but it's easy enough to be good enough, or so it seems to me now
