    Europe's Ariane 6 rocket finally ready for liftoff
  • It's just not cost competitive at all anymore.

    One can argue about having a disposable second stage (like Falcon-9) vs. full re-usability (like the upcoming Starship), as the latter is not very efficient fuel wise. But not having a reusable first stage just makes it way too expensive to be able to compete in the currently market dominated by the Falcon-9.

    Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket is set for its first-ever launch next week, carrying with it the continent's hopes of regaining independent access to space and fending off soaring competition from Elon Musk's SpaceX.

    Germany’s unique suspension monorail is a must-visit for train lovers
  • It probably isn't the best use of the city's funds, but given the specific geography of the city, using the space above the river that runs along the entire narrow valley that makes up most of Wuppertal, it does make some sense.

  • Producing fuels from 1,500 degrees of solar heat: world’s first plant opens in Germany
  • Maybe in some remote, off-grid cabins, otherwise heating with synthetic fuels would be hugely inefficient.

    The SPF is a non-commercial, private funding initiative with the goal to kickstart and fund solarpunk projects for a good and sustainable livestyle within the planetary boundaries.

    Solarpunk Pioneers Fund - The Idea

    >The Solarpunk Pioneers Fund is a private funding initiative with the goal to kickstart and fund solarpunk projects that develop solutions for a good and sustainable livestyle within the planetary boundaries.

    >We do this with private money that our family wants to invest into a better future, and we do this in our free time next to our day jobs. Hence, we want this project to develop organically, step by step, in exchange with the broader community.

    www.thechemicalengineer.com Producing fuels from 1,500 degrees of solar heat: world’s first plant opens in Germany

    THE WORLD’S first industrial plant using solar heat to make fuels has been opened in Germany. Using a vast array of mirrors that focus the sun’s heat onto a tower, the technology’s developer Synhelion plans to use its process to produce greener fuel for planes, ships and cars, and even low-carbon ce...

    Any "undiscovered" games you think deserve more attention?
  • Sublevel Zero is a very nice modern Descent rogue-like mix that also has a nice optional VR mode.

  • Any "undiscovered" games you think deserve more attention?
  • Beat Invaders is a nice modern space invaders variant with nice graphics and good music.

  • Let's do an experiment
  • They could easily switch to the current vice president and get some new relatively known person on board as her running mate.

    This is exactly what would happen if Biden suddenly had a major health issue.

  • Germany’s unique suspension monorail is a must-visit for train lovers
  • Yeah, it's fun and quite convenient.

  • How to Grow Potatoes And Tomatoes On The Same Plant
  • On large fields it is probably too much work to do this, but in regular gardens I would say having the tomatoes grow a bit slower is of benefit to space the yield over the season and having some "free" potatoes at the end of the season is nice to have.

    Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?
  • Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.

  • Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?
  • Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.

  • SLRPNK community discussion - June 2024
  • I changed the pict-rs settings a bit to allow more file types, but I assume your main issue is frontend and/or browser related.

  • Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?
  • Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.

    Apple is working to make iPhone 16 battery removal easier to comply with EU regulations
  • Will probably be again this malicious compliance of "only if you mail-order this 799€ tool for it" 😒 Oh and the battery itself costs more then the phone itself is still worth and of course no 3rd party batteries work.

  • 1990s CNC Vertical Mill Revival

    The 1990s were home to manual tuning radios, Polaroid 600 film, Microsoft Bob and the never ending audible onslaught of manufactured boy bands - not necessarily reliable and easy to use CNC milling machines! This is a guide on how to make a very sad servo-drive, DOS 1.0 based, Intel 486 powered CNC ...

    Away from home for months; homelab unreachable; now looking for UPS
  • Lead acid can boil over and fill a badly ventilated room with flammable hydrogen and other toxic gasses.

    A well maintained LiFePO4 battery that some modern UPS use it probably less risky, but I think the risk for both is very low.

  • Just Stop Oil: do radical protests turn the public away from a cause? Here’s the evidence
  • First off, nothing was destroyed or even significantly damaged so far.

    Secondly, targeting individuals carries a much higher risk of civil litigation, potentially bankrupting the individual protestors for life. It is understandable that people don't really want to risk that. And it is also much less effective if your main goal is to incite media coverage to keep the topic in the public debate (as it is otherwise easily drowned out by what ever is the latest media freak-out incited by pundits like Trump that play a similar game).

  • Steam Sale: Big discounts on many popular VR games — Half-Life: Alyx, Ghosts of Tabor & more
  • Ugh, boring first person shooters (except Alyx which is great of course).

    Would be better to promote unique VR games like this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1683340/Kayak_VR_Mirage/ (35% off).

  • Active communities promotion thread
  • Well I guess [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are already quite well known.

    [email protected] and [email protected] are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.
