That is a very short amount of time to organize a nation.

Well yes, one imploded, but the shock wave created by that first implosion then shattered 6600 of them.

The implosion incident with Super-Kamiokande happened in 2001. Repairs were completed in 2006.

- Comment on Help! What is wrong? 1 day ago:
My guess is mechanical stress during the print.
Think of your print object as a lever. The attachment to the print bed is the fulcrum. The taller the object gets, the longer the lever arm and the more potential for movement, especially while the plastic is still warm and soft.
On the other end of the lever is the nozzle spitting out melted plastic. The melted plastic is sticky (PETG in particular is kind of like chewing gum at print temperature). As the nozzle moves across the printed surface, the sticky plastic pulls on the previous layer, exerting a lateral force (you can watch this happen during the print, it’s most obvious with tall thin parts). If there isn’t enough contact area between the topmost layer and the one below it (which in your case it appears those parts of the hexagons have very little contact with the layer below) then the top layer can be ripped off.
Basically the individual limbs of the hexagons are too thin, and the angles are too steep. As the print gets taller the whole thing will flex more, making failures more likely near the top.

- Comment on 'What the f***': Modding arch-sorcerer casually invents Minecraft x Hytale crossplay, defies laws of god and man alike 1 week ago:
As Sahib explained in replies on Reddit and X, Hytale is serving as the host for the crossplay session, and while block placements are translated to equivalent blocks on the Minecraft side, it seems like only the prototype’s Hytale player is capable of placing new blocks. Considering he’s handbuilding a bridge between two different games with their own systems and mechanics, it’s not surprising that Sahib says “currently many things are Broken.”
Based on this, it sounds like the Hytale server is providing map data to the Minecraft session, which is why the block placement works on the Hytale side but not the Minecraft side. He must have created some kind of translation table for block types between the engines.

The technology enables the surveillance state. Therefore the technology is not amoral.

- Comment on Upgrading storage to usb drives 2 weeks ago:
Remember, RAID (or RAID-adjacent) is not a backup.
This. So much this. Please listen to and understand this.
Even with full mirroring in RAID 1, it’s not a backup. Using the second drive as an independent backup would be so much better than RAID.
- Comment on Upgrading storage to usb drives 2 weeks ago:
You SHOULD NOT do software RAID with hard drives in separate external USB enclosures.
There will be absolutely no practical benefit to this setup, and it will just create risk of transcription errors between the mirrored drives due to any kind of problems with the USB connections, plus traffic overhead as the drives constantly update their mirroring. You will kill your USB controller, and/or the IO boards in the enclosures. It will be needlessly slow and not very fault-tolerant.
If this hardware setup is really your best option, what you should do is use 1 of the drives as the active primary for the server, and push backups to the other drive (with a properly configured backup application, not RAID mirroring). That way each drive is fully independent from the other, and the backup drive is not dependent on anything else. This will give you the best possible redundancy with this hardware.

- Comment on The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026 2 weeks ago:
Zeroth Robotics introduced the W1 at CES, a robot reminiscent of WALL-E.
The W1 is a programmable companion designed for families. According to the company’s website, for $4,999, the robot offers round-the-clock AI-powered security, 360-degree mobile surveillance, and integrates with smart home devices for instant smoke and intrusion alerts. It’s also marketed as an adventure companion that can transport camping gear, follow you around the campsite taking photos as a family photographer, and supply portable power so you can enjoy entertainment on the go.
We built a surveillance device that follows you around and uploads data to our cloud servers, which we have absolutely made very secure! We care about your privacy, so your data will never be shared except with our 372 advertising partners! Please bring it into your home today!

- Comment on The Road to Quantum Teleportation 3 weeks ago:
At the moment it’s experimental, so no.
And just to be clear, this cannot be used to move information faster than the speed of light, ever.
In theory it might have application as a sort of tamper-evident seal for digital encryption.
- Comment on The Road to Quantum Teleportation 3 weeks ago:
In the November study, the researchers successfully “beamed” polarization between a photon pair, and they could do this because the particles were entangled.
Equating quantum (information) teleportation with physical teleportation of objects really just reveals that the author has no idea what they’re talking about.

Windows 12 may stabilize a lot of the functional problems occurring in 11, but it will also have all of the new AI-powered end-user surveillance features they’re currently trying to implement fully integrated.

I do admit that I run Win10 IOT in VirtualBox for a few small programs that won’t run under Wine. Once a week, for a few minutes. I’m sorry. I don’t wear the shirt, because I feel like a fraud. Please forgive me.
Dude, virtualize all the things! In open source land, you run whatever code you want to because you can, and you don’t feel embarrassed about it.
- Comment on I'm there! 3 weeks ago:
So, yes actually. Check out earthwatch.org, they offer trips where you participate in ecological research and/or conservation efforts. For example, here is a 2-week trip focused around counting animal populations in the Mongolian steppe:
earthwatch.org/…/wildlife-mongolian-steppe
These trips are somewhat pricy (this one is US$4250), but typically include room and board for the entire period and all local travel. Also:
As a paying volunteer, you directly fund scientific research by covering permits, equipment, and other costs while supporting local vendors.
You do have to make your own arrangements for traveling to wherever the research location is.
- Comment on Contract for self-hosting help 3 weeks ago:
Whatever you do, and whoever you end up working with, document document document.
And I mean on paper, in a notebook, something that can’t crash or get accidentally deleted and doesn’t require electricity to operate.
You’re doing this for yourself, not for a boss, which means you can take the time to keep track of the details. This will be especially important for ongoing maintenance.
Write down a list of things you imagine having on your network, then classify them as essential vs. desired (needs and wants), then prioritize them.
As you buy hardware, write down the name, model and serial number and the price (so that you can list it on your renter’s/homeowner’s insurance). As you set up the devices, also add the MAC and assigned IP address(es) to each device description, and also list the specific services that are running on that device. If you buy something new that comes with a support contract, write down the information for that.
Draw a network diagram (it doesn’t have to be complicated or super professional, but visualizing the layout and connections between things is very helpful)
When you set up a service, write down what it’s for and what clients will have access to it. Write down the reference(s) you used. And then write down the login details. I don’t care what advice you’ve heard about writing down passwords, just do it in the notebook so that you can get back into the services you’ve set up. Six months from now when you need to log in to that background service to update the software you will have forgotten the password. If a person you don’t trust has physical access to your home network notebook, you have a much more serious problem than worrying about your router password.
