cern should put kerbals in the lhc

Yeah, the aerodynamics were pretty confusing for me when I started as well, iirc there was a pretty old scott manley video that explained it well.

Essentially you want to keep the aero centre behind the centre of mass (COM), because this gives you passive stability (it stays straight). You don’t need control surfaces for this.

If you need maneuverability (like in an aeroplane) you want to keep them as close as possible, but keep in mind the COM will move over time because you use up fuel.

The optimal position for control surfaces are as far away from the COM as possible, because this gives you the most torque. Control surfaces close to the COM will just translate the aircraft instead of rotating it (like flaps on a plane)

Modern fly by wire jets like the f16 and su27 are aerodynamically unstable (aero centre in front of COM) but this isn’t really feasible in KSP unfortunately

‘brutalism’

with that amount of control surfaces you could probably flap your way to orbit lmao

there should be a keepass+syncthing package available for normal people to use, i put keepass and syncthing on all my devices and that means I don’t have to host a server while always having my password vault synced

make it as easy for yourself to reinstall as possible

try arch, it’s genuinely good

yeah because half of them are 1234

as a shit user i think shit is the best instance for no reason in particular at all

oh shit does the mig1.44 actually count as a eurocanard then

ThinkPad: has a thinklight
ipad: doesn’t have a thinklight

thinkpad wins

isn’t that normal?

lemmy already has a bunch of echo chambers, I think it’s inevitable from the design of a network like this where the user selects what content to view and be served

gripen is just genuinely really cool generally

i just run normal stuff like immich and a dns server and use it as a headless server, though I do have a backup terminal on the touchscreen in case I need it (fbkeyboard).

I don’t think it has any real benefits except the touchscreen, very low power consumption and the built-in battery, I just use it because it’s free and interesting.

I guess compared to other devices like the rpi it has pretty good performance and resources, though one big drawback is that I have to use wifi for networking.

It’s just the use I found for my old phone that was sitting in the cupboard doing nothing.

pretty sure it’s like all those projects that say that and never do it, iirc they’ve had that thing in their faq for years

i think this is all about configuring the lsp server (e.g. clangd in the case of c), pretty sure you can get it working with kate

i think a lot of people like the t480 and it even has libreboot now

i use my old postmarketos phone as a server for a bunch of stuff on my local network because it can run docker and is really power efficient
