Yeah, it’s a fun format, it’d be interesting to see a few more match ups. I hope this helps build his confidence a bit - I’m rooting for him to get to GM in spite of the odds, it’s an inspirational attempt if nothing else.

Haha, I just happened to be watching engine swap videos earlier today and thought it fit well!

I know you didn’t ask, but may I volunteer a car engine instead of a spoon. There’s still IP involved in a car engine, but nobody is going to tell me I cant put my VW engine in Honda and sell it.

Ah, just at the turn of the century.

Am I going clockwise or anticlockwise round the track?

It’s getting so convoluted at this point just knowing clockwise/anticlockwise is infinitely easier.

It doesn’t even bloody work, lefty tighty righty loosy is every bit as valid if the spanner is at the bottom.

Ah yes, the Disney model

Strangely enough I know exactly where mine is, not least because it was connected to my last but one keyboard for approximately 15 years.

Now my Xbox controller to usb cable, no idea where that is at the minute (it’ll be in one of the boxes)

Thank you! And thank you both for running this instance!

Thank you! I’ve harboured notions of building out a web app for a while and been curious about the nitty gritty of server specs vs pricing for large scale projects like this (personal experience is with bare metal for a big corp and internally billed, so basically made up), this is brilliant info that’ll help ballpark performance if I ever get round to it.

I’m low key impressed how little hardware this all takes tbh, we’re apparently a top 100 instance and it’s running on what amounts to a workstation. Good plan with the overspeccing, for the price the resiliency is totally worth it!

Thank you both for running a fantastic instance.

BSD?

Now they get the Brits and Aussies to do it and give them the reports.

Can you stop spamming the fucking thread.

The the damn resin absorbing into your skin and curing the next time you’re in direct sunlight. Resin is super detailed, but I can’t say I particularly enjoy doing it.

I’m the last year I’ve needed exactly 2 m.2 standoffs and been able to produce them from my pile of shite, continue with installing the drives and not spent an extra few quid on getting them delivered. I will continue to use this to justify hoarding power tools and wood.

Strangely enough, if you rank them by medal count you basically just replace Russia with Australia.

Nice one! As I’m a saddo, it would be really interesting to see what kind of spec the hardware backing the instance is and the kind of load that gets on it, even ballpark would be good (obviously if you have time at some point and it’s not a ton of hassle!)

I do too FWIW, but big brutalist concrete constructions definitely give dystopian vibes imo.

How do you get the egg to stay in when you put it in the toaster?
