The problem with that is, Japan was willing to fight on after the first bomb. They tried labelling it a natural disaster at first; if the second bomb wasn't dropped, they probably wouldn't have surrendered. Sure they could have waited longer to confirm that, but then there's more troops dying on both sides while they wait - more unnecessary deaths.
I'll eat up anything they put out:
Perun (War economics, logistics, procurement, etc)
The Chieftain (Tank history and doctrine)
CGP Grey (Deep dives on random topics)
The Operations Room (High quality visualizations of historical battles)
The Intel Report (Followup topics related to Operations Room)
dnsl (Trolling in games)
Channels I'll binge on once in a while:
Drachinifel (Naval history)
agadmator (Chess breakdowns)
Forgotten Weapons (Firearm history and mechanics)
Lockpicking Lawyer (Lock history and picking)
LifesAGlitchTV (StarCraft 2 commentary duo)
Spookston (War Thunder gameplay)
The Tank Museum (More tank history)
Real Engineering (Deep dives on interesting engineering)
Scott Manley (Space & rocketry related topics)
Oh it's long dead now; this is what it looked like back then though 
I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button
I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I'm tired of pretending that they're not
For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer's machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn't looked at in a while I'd still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.
I haven't used them in a while, but I used to go to Calgary Computer Wholesale
My city has a couple mom-and-pop type businesses doing it, I'd hazard a guess it's similar elsewhere - never heard of any 'big name' outfits doing it on any real scale.
Like many, when I heard about Folding@HOME and how I could contribute to the fight against COVID, I put my hardware to work. Now that's it has been a while, what effect did those projects ultimately have on the outcome? Did it actually help with the creation of vaccines, or was it effectively just a massive waste of energy?
Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with
Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone's replying to since I don't post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox
What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it's an older version issue for you
If there is one I haven't seen it; I think there's naturally a bit more of a Linux crowd here though, maybe that's why there's less gaming content (yeah yeah "Linux can play games toooooo")
Has everything gone according to plan? Maybe something has gone particularly good or bad? Have you given up on something already this year, and are saving it for the next?
Personally it would be Republic Commando - the books were good too, but I just want a sequel!
Excited for this one - lots of great memories from the first Helldivers
Halo: Combat Evolved
I still find the odd person that never played it here and there, and yet everyone that tries it after says "Oh my god, how did I never play this game before?" and goes on to play the rest
Hey all,
Just wondering what the consensus is on hosting directly on a computer versus virtualization? Right now I'm hosting my Lemmy instance on a Hetzner VPS, but I would like to eventually migrate to my Linux box at home. It currently runs as a media PC (Ubuntu) in the living room, but I always intended to self-host other software on the side since it should be more than capable of doing both (Ryzen 5600G, 16gb DDR4).
I'm just torn though - should I host a virtual machine on it for Lemmy, or run it directly on Ubuntu as-is? I plan to do some further self-hosting projects as well later down the line.
