Based in Berlin but in love with a KLM 738.

She could have chose an easier aircraft, as in closer to her place, but I guess love is blind eh ? From Lufthansa I would have taken the A350-1000 to bed but that’s my own love.

Hardware related on a Linux home built NAS.

My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.

The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.

In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: “Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu”.

FFS 🤦‍♂️

The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.

Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?

Not Star Trek but heavily inspired, Starship Simulator seems to be the perfect Star Trek sim with scientific exploration in mind.

It’s not even an Alpha at the moment but there is a demo that made me fall in love with the project in less than 3 minutes.

From the forum in my comment below.

Yup, they used it, only for paratroopers but they had some.

Terrot 500 RGSTA ?

Peugeot 175 D4 ?

From this forum (en français bien sûr). It speak about motorbike since 1950, so that would make sense with Indochine and I think I can recognise some of the models from archive photos. It says that before 1950, French army used a bunch of brands like BMW, Harley, Triumph, Gnome et Rhone and others from 1930 and WWII, but from 1950 and onwards they tried to harmonise the material and the list is on the forum.

Otherwise, your best bet would be searching for CEFEO material (corps expéditionnaire français en Extrême-Orient) as it was the more involved in the war.

There is a book about material used in this war but I don’t know if they wrote anything about motorbikes.

The forum from the first link seems to be a good source of information tho.

As an atheist I agree, but I don’t think it as anything to do with religion.

It’s all about faith, in the sense of a strong belief in something. Be it a god, aliens, a spaghetti monster or just yourself.

Religion does provide that yes, their daily beliefs become auto suggestions that their subconscious brain accepts, making mental health and life easier.

But anyone can achieve the same outside of religions.

A kind of Indian grill in Basel (Switzerland). It was rated 4.8 stars on google maps but I failed to notice that all the reviews were made by German/Swiss-German peoples (we come from the French and Italian parts of the country with a French and Italian food culture).

The hella expensive meat platter was undercooked and served with a ketchup and mayonnaise mix. Ketchup and mayo at an Indian place ! They also made us pay 2 francs for a glass of tap water when we had their most expensive dish and a bottle of wine. Fuck them, and fuck those tasteless German speaking reviewers.

All my worst food experiences happened in the German part of Switzerland so now I’m super cautious of what I eat when I travel there.

I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.

I said to myself that I’ll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven’t started to disassemble it.

Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.

Yeah I love it. It’s one of the only itx case with 8 hdds and a SAS backplate.

Honestly it was the hardest part to find, I waited for months before having an auction on one.

I was going to post the same link, I generally take inspiration from that forum and then adapt with what I can find on eBay etc for cheap. The prices they give are for US eBay and not always suitable to EU eBay.

I’ve just finished my new NAS using Unraid OS and some info from the forum.

• Jonsbo N3 case
• Gigabyte Z590i Vision D motherboard
• Intel i5 10400T
• 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 (basic corsair)
• LSI 9207-8i HBA in IT-Mode
• An old 128Gb M2 SSD
• 8x6Tb HGST SAS drives
• Corsair SF600 PSU

It took me more than 6 months to find all the parts at a correct price but I was not in a rush.

It’s 2.5Gbe and not 10Gb SFP but you get the idea. The cost was really low (lower than 1000) because I already had the HDDs from an older server. It should be around 1500€ max with the disks.

The real downside of doing that is the time it takes but it’s also a kind of pleasure to hunt for parts and one day assemble them all.

Ah ah yes thanks I try to dream and be positive even if it’s sometimes dumb 😁

Another thing I forgot is that Airbus (and all EU aviation) are applying the HRO (high reliability organization) and just culture for a long time now.

I have read somewhere that Boeing started implementing just culture after the Max crashes, so very late. And apparently wrongly as some employees still fear repercussions if they make safety reports (and according to latest NTSB report 2 employees had been punish lately for that reason).

If true that is totally unbelievable.

Yeah I’m not sure about that. Work culture, and even C suite culture, is very different in Europe.

Airbus publicly said they want Boeing to continue being a good opponent. The comments on this video talks a lot about working for one or the other manufacturer and the differences in the way people are treated.

Airbus is still lead by an engineer and not an accountant. That could change for sure but EU country won’t let it slip to a shit company as easy as it happened in the US, just because of our culture.

Worst case scenario, French, German, Spanish and other Airbus locations will go on strikes and riots if conditions are getting worse.

Sadly getting something new and better will take decades and Airbus cannot handle the (airline) market alone. They also need to have a concurrent cause having an Airbus monopoly could make them sloppy on the long run. The C suite at Airbus are probably the first ones to want Boeing to survive as they know the trouble they’ll be in if they are alone.

ISS is around 400km of altitude. There is still a little bit of atmospheric friction there so you’ll definitely end up on earth but it will take years and you’ll probably burn while passing the Kármán line at 100km.

The good thing is that you’ll feel nothing at that moment cause you’ll be dead for a while due to no oxygen reserves.

The only way to escape is what they do today; a re entry pod with thrusters to do an entry burn at a scheduled time (if you burn at the wrong time and place you can go “higher” towards open space instead of back to earth but you also want to aim at your landing place and not end up in the middle of manhattan or a minefield), a heat shield for passing the atmosphere and then parachutes to soften the landing.

If you are curious about rocket science and like games, I suggest you to buy Kerbal Space Program 1, there’s tons of mods and you’ll learn while having fun.

Yes you can, but it won’t be the same meaning.

“Putain d’extrême droite” would be “fucking far right” and not “fuck the far right”.

That’s not much but one is being annoyed at something, the other is actively insulting something.

Fuck everything

(caption: burn it all down to start afresh)

They should insist that it gets written in the Constitution.

Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l’homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu’ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 […]

En vertu de ces principes et de celui de la libre détermination des peuples, la République proclame Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous.

Yes it could be “Qu’ils aillent se faire foutre” as well.

So many ways of saying fuck according to different situations, it is better that she said “fuck” as a french version would have been too vulgar and would have provoked some political scandal.

I was wondering how she said it in French cause we don’t really have a translation for fuck (that would be “j’emmerde” or “j’encule” in that specific case).

“Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous”

Yeah ok, it’s easier that way, well done Madame La Maire de Paris 👌

Hope someone purposely swallow a turd.
