L9[01:00:40] <SporkWitch> Mat2ch: das keyboard 4q, so yeah, i'm leaning towards the keyboard; gskill isn't known for shoddy work and the memory's only been in use for just over a year. too much of a coincidence we'll see, though. worst case i return the keyboard and just get another 4 pro (what i replaced; enter and spacebar were starting to go, with enter randomly doing double-activations, and spacebar randomly not
L10[01:00:43] <SporkWitch> activating)
L11[01:01:05] <SporkWitch> funkenstein: that 113 join is probably due to a netsplit
L12[01:01:36] <funkenstein> what's a netsplit?
L13[01:01:58] <SporkWitch> https://www.easytechjunkie.com/what-is-a-netsplit.htm
L14[01:02:01] <funkenstein> excuse my techno-twitdom
L15[01:02:51] <raptop> IRC's decentralization occasionally has quirks
L16[01:02:55] <SporkWitch> basically, one of the servers in this IRC network lost connection to one or more of the others, resulting in the users on the isolated segments seeing the other disconnect. once the server rejoins th network, you see it as a join
L17[01:03:19] <SporkWitch> and i can confirm there was a netsplit earlier today

L22[01:22:27] <packbart> in today's game lingo: "instancing problems" ;)
L23[01:22:46] <funkenstein> not sure what that means either
L24[01:22:47] <SporkWitch> not sure that's an accurate comparison, since instances are largely isolated
L25[01:23:10] <funkenstein> I have 282 science from around the KSC. is that the most i can get?
L26[01:23:30] <SporkWitch> if an instance crashes, those players are completely disconnected; in a netsplit, the users on either side of the split can continue to communicate, they just can't talk across the split
L27[01:23:33] <packbart> yeah, it was kinda a lame joke. I had just read some article about peer2peer game synchronization earlier
L28[01:23:55] <funkenstein> that makes sense
L29[01:23:58] <SporkWitch> oh, you mean "please lagswitch" games?
L30[01:24:23] <funkenstein> unless you're a mathematician, in which case it's trivial
L31[01:24:47] <packbart> nah, the difference in realities experienced by players when things move faster than the protocol can sync them
L32[01:24:58] <funkenstein> ;outcome add Your craft becomes completely entangled in the Quantum
L33[01:24:58] <LunchBot> funkenstein: Added outcome: Your craft becomes completely entangled in the Quantum
L34[01:25:04] <SporkWitch> i don't recall the total amount of science you can get from around the KSC, but there's a LOT of biomes, you can probably get a couple thousand on default settings
L35[01:25:22] <packbart> like in GTA V, players in the same car can see the car crashing through a light pole and not at the same time
L36[01:25:56] <packbart> or Elite where one pilot sees someone hit a target and another pilot sees the same shots go astray
L37[01:25:59] <funkenstein> packbart like when I'm playing COD and I clearly shot someone twice in the head but their killcam shows me facing the other direction still
L38[01:26:14] <SporkWitch> GTAV is probably a poor example. It uses servers, AFAIK, but allows some desync to make driving playable
L39[01:26:47] <SporkWitch> GTAV is also just weird and buggy sometimes lol
L40[01:26:51] <packbart> it depends on the server, I think. I only played the FiveM stuf, not GTA V Online
L41[01:27:13] <packbart> and that one is supposed to use some sort of p2p sync and chooses a "master" peer
L42[01:27:51] <packbart> sooo... which method will KSP 2 use for multi-player? :)
L43[01:27:58] <SporkWitch> foiled, don't have the gta5 clip uploaded to youtube lol. i have a great one where i'm driving on a clear, straight road and my car just randomly leaps into the air and does a bunch of flat spins lol
L44[01:30:09] <SporkWitch> packbart: KSP2 multiplayer will be kraken-powered
L45[01:31:26] <packbart> funkenstein: if you ever get tired of collecting the KSC mini-biome science, there's https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/169690-112x-kei-kerbin-environmental-institute/

L61[03:37:13] <SporkWitch> ah
L62[03:37:25] <SporkWitch> i got it ages ago, it's kind of fun, though not amazing
L63[03:37:36] <SporkWitch> i've just been doing lots of game hopping, as nothing is really keeping me right now
L64[03:38:52] <SporkWitch> you want great reviews, read the ones for day of dragons lol. talk about a salty, talentless dev. Dude replied to my review within an hour doing exactly what all the criticism says: attacking the community, not actually disproving any of the valid claims, etc. lol
L65[03:38:59] <SporkWitch> he keeps flagging my review as spam, too haha
L66[03:39:36] <SporkWitch> (it's literally just an asset flip scam; everything in the game is stock or purchased, and there's no gameplay loop; it's built to take just long enough to notice this to run out the refund timer)

L88[06:00:52] <funkenstein> packbart the centipede looks lovely, once I have wheels, how did you get the joints to work? additionally, the mod looks fine but I don't know how to mod nowthat i have the steam version
L89[06:13:49] <FLHerne> funkenstein: Have you done the weird ones like the separate tracking station antennas, the random patch of concrete and the flagpole?
L90[06:14:14] <FLHerne> (re KSC science)
L91[06:14:52] <packbart> funkenstein: I use CKAN to install mods. I used to do it manually but that got tedious. https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/User-guide
L92[06:15:02] <FLHerne> then surface samples, EVA reports, Gravioli
L93[06:15:14] <packbart> and the joints are unpowered hinges, I think
L94[06:15:15] <FLHerne> 282 is definitely low
L95[06:16:15] <packbart> I'd also recommend copying KSP to another directory and leave the Steam copy unmodded, so an update to KSP won't break your current game if any of the mods are not compatible yet
L96[06:16:21] <funkenstein> I think I've done the random concrete "ksc, we're home"

L154[10:04:47] <funkenstein> wobbly, isn't it
L155[10:05:01] <SporkWitch> my reasoning being the lower quality camera, and the positioning of the navigation lights
L156[10:05:23] <SporkWitch> it's VERY zoomed in lol
L157[10:05:33] <SporkWitch> and yep, that was confirmation, we're looking at the dragon, so that camera is on the ISS

L161[10:11:20] <SporkWitch> funkenstein: yes
L162[10:11:32] <SporkWitch> and it's as jerky as it is because of how zoomed in it is
L163[10:11:56] <funkenstein> the photographer in me feels the pain
L164[10:12:07] <SporkWitch> and now i have pretty backlit keys, though it's definitely going to ttake some getting used to these browns. feels VERY differnt from the blues i'm used to
L165[10:12:50] <SporkWitch> i definitely prefer the blues, but i can feel how it'll be easier to get rapid presses with these browns, which i've been finding necessary for Starbound, which i've been playing a fair bit of lately

L237[11:04:40] <SporkWitch> wow, she's not very bright... she thinks a nitrogen-oxygen mix is synonymous with nitrousoxide... colloquially known as laughing gas...
L238[11:08:01] <Althego> also nitrogen oxygen mix is almost the same as air
L239[11:08:07] <Althego> why not just call it air?
L240[11:08:28] <SporkWitch> because it's specifically a nitrogen-oxygen mix, without all the other crap in air
L241[11:08:48] <Althego> which is mostly a bit of argon so who cares
L242[11:09:05] <SporkWitch> i'd guess with a higher percentage of oxygen than normal, just enough nitrogen to minimize fire hazard, for mass reasons
L243[11:10:12] <SporkWitch> nonetheless, it's a distinction, and as i said, i doubt it's the usualy 78/21 mix
L244[11:11:22] <SporkWitch> not having any luck finding the proportions
L245[11:14:28] <funkenstein> as orville said to wilbur
L246[11:14:35] <funkenstein> you're wright\
L247[11:21:25] <Althego> argh
L248[11:22:54] <Izaya> so I was thinking about NTRs earlier today and I ended up wondering, for long trips with a NTR, would having a small LH2 tank for feeding the engine (sized for the longest burn you want to perform), an electrolysis(?) machine, running off the standby power generation of the nuclear reactor, and a big water tank for splitting into H2 and O2 - both as volatile/fuel storage, and as
L249[11:22:56] <Izaya> radiation shielding - work?
L250[11:28:26] <funkenstein> I don't see why not
L251[11:36:59] <Izaya> https://shadowkat.net/tmp/aff5.gif
L252[11:37:57] <flayer> i don't like how the top only has one hinge
L253[11:38:09] <flayer> i want it to be 4 different bits
L254[11:38:18] <flayer> or at least two
L255[11:38:22] <SporkWitch> water is extremely good at blocking radiation. It's one of the reasons it's used for nuclear reactors, also the reason for the design choice in Robinson's "Red Mars" of having the water tanks surrounding a core module for use as a solar storm shelter
L256[11:38:42] <SporkWitch> flayer: more parts = more points of failure
L257[11:38:54] <flayer> i know but i dont care
L258[11:39:04] <flayer> is water better or worse than lead at blocking radiation?
L259[11:39:27] <SporkWitch> worse than lead, but lead is very heavy and serves no other practical use
L260[11:39:30] <flayer> it is probably a cost vs efficiency vs availability thing?
L261[11:39:53] <SporkWitch> the benefit of water is that you need to bring it anyway, so if you design with it as part of your shielding, you're saving significant mass
L262[11:40:10] <Izaya> Is it safe to drink if it's used as a radiation shield?
L263[11:40:19] <SporkWitch> yes
L264[11:40:28] <Izaya> I know it's used in the skin as shielding for radiation from space but that's a rather different usecase :p
L265[11:40:53] <SporkWitch> stuff doesn't "become" radioactive by exposure to radiation, radiaoactive PARTICLES can get mixed with it. As long as the water never comes in physical contact with radioactive material, it's perfectly safe to drink
L266[11:40:56] <Izaya> (or rather, often PLANNED for use between the inner and outer hull, I don't think anything's actually flown with that setup)
L267[11:41:26] <taniwha> SporkWitch, not true: neutron activation
L268[11:41:26] <Izaya> ah okay
L269[11:43:35] <SporkWitch> cursory search implies that cannot occur by accident; conditions required outside of a lab, you're not worrying about that anymore lol
L270[11:45:51] <SporkWitch> in fact, i'm not finding any mention or example of it occurring under natural conditions (I would assume there's some edge cases where it could occur, but I suspect these conditions would also kill anyone that might later care if their food or water were made radioactive). What I'm finding also suggests that half lives of seconds are more common, though it does mention years as possible

L334[20:46:20] <SporkWitch> looking around, it seems the highest thrust (that I can find) for an ion thruster is 4N. That said, that's also a much smaller one than the Dawn in KSP. Dawn is 2kN, so still much more powerful, but in terms of gameplay I feel like it's probably good. To do a realistic implementation you'd be accelerating for the entire journey. Usually when I hear about plans for ion thrusters for distance
L335[20:47:09] <SporkWitch> missions the plan is you accelerate to the halfway point and decelerate on the second half. Very slow, but very efficient.
