  • Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)

    Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.

    I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)





  • You are missing my point, but I also wasn’t clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.

    I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don’t actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It’s could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.

    OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn’t really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform “content”.

    Something similar has been done before and it was really easy to spot. I won’t get into the details, but it was really trashy. There are other communities that try to copy Reddit already and I block most of them.

    Communities driven by one persons posts or by a cluster of bots generally suck. Yes, communities must start with only one person, but if nobody else likes the idea and the community doesn’t drive participation from Lemmy as a whole, it’s simply noise.

    Post content that you like, in communities that matter to you. If you like a particular strain of content, start a new community. People will join or they won’t. Read the room and continue driving the community, or don’t.

    Automated posts have their place, but most people can spot it fairly quick. It generally doesn’t drive participation as much as organic posts.

    Bluntly though, if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit. Lemmy isn’t Reddit and that is what people generally like about it.




  • The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever…) didn’t matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn’t exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.

    Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn’t filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff. This work was split across multiple studios.





  • A Russian RPG detonates on impact or with a timer. The correct distance from the hull is a built-in factor of the warhead.

    You are presenting data that wasn’t relevant to the topic and you didn’t read the full paragraph, it seems.

    Are you done being a jackass now or don’t you understand that what makes a turtle tank the way it is, is the extra armor placed further away from the main hull?

    Maybe RPGs, if the distance of the plate was far enough away from the main hull of the tank. The blast from shaped charges in RPGs can dissipate fairly quick once it has gone through one bit of armor, so, it needs to detonate against the actual tank hull itself so the jet of molten copper has a higher chance to give a big hug to one of the shells in storage.

    But an AT missile? Highly unlikely it will be stopped. It’s probably also going to have a shaped charge, but it will be much more powerful than an RPG and could penetrate multiple layers of armor. A top-down trajectory is also more likely where actual tank armor would be the weakest. (There are multiple types of anti tank missiles and some can be set for different attack trajectories.)

    Turtle tanks may or may not still have an active main gun. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be carrying any live shells so crew survival rate should be a touch higher depending on where the missile strike happens.



  • I would tweak that a hair and tell people just to make an account somewhere and observe for a bit. Lemmy can have some very distinct groups that reside on very specific instances. Or not. It’s a “pick your adventure” kind of scenario, IMHO.

    It took about six months or so for me to settle into .ca after bouncing around a bit. It’s not really a pain to switch instances, but I personally like my chat history in one spot and I like the concept of a ‘home instance’.

    Depending on your client and your settings, your feed could have a bias that leans in the direction of the posts on your home instance, so that is something of note. Not saying that is bad or good, it just is what it is.



  • I agree with the comments on this forum (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mushrooming-22-lr-case-heritage-rough-rider.891807/) that the cylinder could have a machining defect. (Basically a headspace issue, also but kinda not. The cartridges are sitting too deep in the cylinder itself.)

    If there is room for the brass to get pushed back far enough for it to mushroom out, something is seriously wrong. The issue could manifest from a machining error as small as 5-10 thou, I am speculating.

    My first thought was excessive chamber pressure, but the bulging would be much worse around and behind the rim itself if that were the case.

    The bullet and the brass get pushed in opposite directions and if the brass can move, it will move before it deforms. If it deforms, it’ll deform at the weakest spot first, like we see in your pic. (Excessive chamber pressure tends to expand the brass and lock it in place. With center-fire, it’ll blow the primers out or have a hole punched in them from the firing pin first. With rim fire, the pressure pushes back on the rim.)

    Also, check for excessive slop with the cylinder. If it can move forwards and backwards too much, that could also telling of issues with other parts of the gun. (Like I mentioned before, it doesn’t take much for a gun to be out of spec enough to cause issues with brass.)
