[10:09:02] yup [10:10:50] how old is it? [10:11:18] 6 years I think [10:11:32] Those batteries are so annoying. [10:11:36] yes that is already aging [10:12:29] Annoying in the sense that it's the same price to buy 10 as it is to buy 1, so you end up with a bunch of them kicking around in a drawer somewhere, and you forget about them by the time you need another one, so you buy 10 more [10:12:51] why is it not a capacitor? [10:13:31] Capacitors are not ideal for storing energy for long periods without receiving a charge [10:13:40] but that i i [10:13:45] it is not long periods normally [10:13:52] at most a few days [10:14:03] then it would recharge when you tur the machine on again [10:14:15] Batteries are also much smaller [10:14:23] and a lot more annoying [10:14:53] Althego: aging? I've never changed a bios battery for the last 15 years or so [10:15:16] in my old p1 when it was around 8 years old it was depleted [10:15:31] i replaced it with two aa bateries :) [10:21:08] Surely how long they last depends on your uptime [10:21:39] That just means that Mat2ch hardly ever turns his machine off :P [10:24:05] Deddly: ;P [10:24:06] :D [10:24:30] well, for me they could just use a powercap... [10:24:32] :P [10:25:17] also this battery shouldn't have much to do these days. Everything is store in flash memory, only the time has to be counted up [10:25:52] so the self discharge of the battery should be much higher than what is used of it :D [10:27:15] Talking of which, battery is running out on this machine [10:27:18] actually the time is not important [10:27:23] Not the CMOS one, mind [10:27:25] because it can just ntp upon boot [10:29:52] ntp? [10:29:58] network tiem protocol [10:30:48] Ah [10:31:53] Action: Deddly remembers back in the day, when he used to regularly change the system date and time so he could keep playing time-limited demos [10:31:55] Yeah, that's another thing [10:32:16] but not every computer is connected to the interwebz ;) [10:32:31] Deddly: those were the days. ;) [10:32:33] On the Amiga, the date and time wasn't the least bit important [10:33:09] Gotta go, seeyas [10:37:02] I remember the rollercoaster tycoon demo had a timer :P [10:48:50] is there a mod to create groups in the tracking station?

Yeah, L3 is pretty overkill [13:22:29] back before autostruts, not so much [13:23:44] Depends on your build style [13:24:01] But yeah, struts add up quite quickly [13:24:37] i mean, i have far too many septratrons [13:25:09] Especially back in the Floppy-Rocket era when you needed to brace them out from the body of the rocket with the Cubic Octagonal Strut for vertical strutting [13:25:49] (praise be its name) [13:40:16] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:00:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyMGhUWkm5w [15:00:56] YouTube - SpaceX Starship News with SN5, SN6 and SN7, Crew Dragon to be reused for Crew flights, Starlink [15:01:01] the movingdo diagram is interesting [15:01:06] moving dot [15:02:27] hi [15:02:37] no [15:02:58] hehe [15:03:10] heHe [15:03:16] i try to not provoke the bot [15:03:37] I | [15:04:06] ok [15:06:04] that was weird [15:06:15] just as expected [15:08:51] hi [15:09:13] and this is why i said i try not to provoke the bot [15:09:29] because it doesnt take into accoutn who came in. replies to hi and hello [15:12:08] Hello, Althego [15:16:17] Othello [15:16:19] how can I compute the Δv required for an ascent on a planet with an atmosphere? [15:16:28] you dont [15:16:33] measure it [15:16:46] that is how the delta v maps were born [15:16:47] isn't there a way with the density or something? [15:16:57] too complicated [15:17:11] you have to have some drag model [15:17:22] hatrix: You'd have to consider sub- and supersonic air resistance, gravity losses ... [15:17:50] also even the map is just an average [15:17:57] Changing Isp as pressure decreases [15:17:57] you can go below those values with high twr [15:19:10] You would make a model and simulate ascent. [15:19:12] I'll stick to the map then [15:19:41] basically you would nee to reimplement the game physics again [15:19:46] Or go by trial and error. Build rockets and see which ones get you to orbit. [15:20:43] Would you like the result be ground level or vacuum Isp delta v, or real delta v? [15:21:21] vacuum I guess, but that's only because I'm used to it [15:21:38] That's not actual delta v, then. [15:24:10] I wonder how close pros like spacex can estimate this. Like, how much fuel will be left when they reach the target orbit. [15:24:21] Say, with SSSH. [15:24:38] probably somewhat simpler, since most the fuel is expelled in almos vacuum [15:25:08] mhm [15:26:23] Well, most dv happens in vacuum, but a lot of fuel is burned during ascent. [15:27:04] Do they jettison the fairing during first stage burning? [15:27:28] i think it is second stage for spacex [15:28:54] even though even meco is well in space [15:55:54] why isn't this contract completed? https://i.imgur.com/sxp9tuv.png [15:56:16] there's an antenna and solar panels [15:56:18] build a new unmanned probe [15:56:29] not new [15:56:40] it is though [15:57:09] You used recycled parts. [15:57:38] Did you build/launch it after accepting teh contract? [15:57:47] I launched two probes and I copied the one I just made, is that why? [15:57:49] yes [15:58:10] they're both on the same rocket [15:59:51] One probe fulfilling two contracts, not sure if that works. [16:00:00] Or one rocket. [16:00:00] no no I got two in a fairing [16:00:06] that should work [16:00:47] maybe that's because I copied the probe core instead of adding it via the panel on the left in the VAB [16:01:09] You definitely accepted the contract first, and then build and launched the rocket? [16:01:18] Copied with right shift-LMB? [16:01:44] I don't remember the keys, it's muscle memory but yeah darsie [16:02:07] yes Judge_Dedd [16:02:25] I can't see the text on that image [16:08:59] Testing two components on one rocket worked: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot320.png [16:09:27] haha i like it [16:09:31] :) [16:09:50] if you get an early lv-n test contract you dont complete it [16:09:56] but use the part [16:10:29] btw you dont actually need to have fuel for the test :) [16:21:12] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:39:37] can we all circlejerk about how bad the questions in the spacex ama is [16:40:11] i need to see someone else feeling as irrationally angry as me at some of these people in order to feel good [16:46:05] Shoe: I have the feeling that that j-word is not appropriate for this channel [16:46:20] Mat2ch: j word? [16:46:32] i haven’t said anything that starts with j [16:47:39] it's part of that circle thing [16:47:55] but now I've learnt that they're using chromium for the touchscreens [16:47:58] and I want to cry [16:48:01] very very loud [16:48:09] A webbrowser in fullscreen [16:48:48] Mat2ch: electron, not chromium [16:49:25] https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/gxb7j1/we_are_the_spacex_software_team_ask_us_anything/ft10hge/ [16:50:33] it's still a bit stupid to use something this bloated for a user interface on a spaceship [16:50:43] what happend to good and clean code? [16:53:36] I mean, drawing things on a computer display is not hard [16:53:46] there are frameworks out there that help you [16:54:01] maybe they needed libraries they were too lazy to recode [16:54:20] also might be easier to find developpers [16:54:31] and then used a huge bloated software thing so that webdevelopers (the worst kind of developer ;P) can create the UI? [16:54:59] I'm sure someone has thought this through [16:55:02] ask them :) [16:58:11] hatrix: I've seen so many things now. Nobody really thought this through. [16:58:32] now that I think about it I get it [16:58:43] we've got awful critical software here also [16:58:45] This was a choice by taste. Maybe because on of the project managers really likes electron and/or developed something with it [16:59:09] "it's fast to market", "we can test in the browser and then just upload it to the craft" [16:59:18] See what I mean? [16:59:23] yeah [16:59:47] There are so few people out there who are really good at software design (and I don't count myself in either) [16:59:51] and so many bad ones. [17:00:32] But I at least try to do things properly, even if it makes me itch [17:01:58] (sometimes you have the choice between pest and cholera and you can only do damage control) [17:52:14] Vibrations: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/IMG_3555.JPG [18:25:39] lol browser for gui [18:25:42] on a spaceship [18:25:47] stupidest thing eveer [18:29:30] nice screen picture darsie [18:29:31] Action: darsie flew a twin boar like this to orbit and splashed down soft: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot323.png [18:30:19] how did you enclose the stayputnik?

[18:30:36] Contract: Test the twin boar on the launch pad. :) [18:30:41] ah, ok [18:30:54] I'll try to launch my probes again [18:30:59] hopefully it'll work this time [18:31:00] g/ [18:31:02] gl [18:31:14] as i said, thetest works without fuel too [18:31:22] so you need an emppty tank, a probe core and an engine [18:31:26] press spac [18:31:29] test done [18:31:58] yeah :) [18:32:17] But I'm a thorough tester :). [18:32:33] Acquire 2300 units of ore from Eve and land them on Gilly. Hmm ... [18:33:04] ouch [18:33:26] I could do it in batches :).

[18:36:11] But there was no way to determine automatically what chip you have in front of you. [18:36:19] lol [18:36:33] let me guess, had to run a small test [18:36:37] I recommend installing a webcam on the chip and reading the label ;) [18:36:46] He rejected the driver ;) [18:36:54] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9MjGziRw-c the interview [18:42:44] let's try that again https://i.imgur.com/KWKFAEh.png [18:45:58] ok the "new probe" thing is ticked now :) [19:07:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:13:34] Althego: javascript is the future of UI, as much as we hate it [19:13:40] hehe [19:13:58] that was prophesized long time go [19:16:37] I don't really hate it (much) [19:17:44] The new lunar surface station departs from the fuel depot in LKO: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot324.png [19:31:23] SpaceX software team Q&A https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/gxb7j1/we_are_the_spacex_software_team_ask_us_anything/ [19:31:27] > Of course we play KSP :) [20:07:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:40:22] The station landed 72 from the target on the Mun: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot327.png http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot329.png [20:40:48] The Ant and Oscar B served as crumpling zone for landing.

[20:41:22] why not 6 [20:41:29] Contract asked for 5. [20:41:38] but 6 is easier to do [20:41:47] I have a mod that can do 5 ;). [20:41:54] EEX [20:42:04] oh no 5 [20:42:12] Plus, 5 is more comfy :). [20:42:23] like that thing is comfy to begin with [20:42:30] :) [20:42:36] :) to you too :D [20:42:58] It's just the beginning. It may be expanded wiht the docking port :). [20:43:12] hehe [20:44:27] The lander can is for refuelling jetpacks etc. Tourists have to get in an external command seat to receive fuel from Munfrey, as they can't leave the capsule once they enter. [20:46:08] wait... tourists can sit on the seats? [20:46:27] that's...wrong [20:46:50] JVFoxy: They can. At least in 1.7.3. [20:47:12] They can't leave capsules, though. [20:47:28] Someone tell me if they still can in 1.9.1. [20:48:16] ah ok.. I hadn't gotten quite that far in the tech tree in most games to get the chair yet [20:48:50] there are so many things the wiki doesn't know [20:49:03] Add it. [20:49:09] no.

I think I'll try it [21:04:56] definitely useful [21:05:11] I could argue it lacks custom groups but that's already better than nothing [21:05:52] relay networks... that time I found someone's 'scatternetwork' video.. laser show much? [21:06:11] displaying all vessels isn't a good idea :) [21:06:31] I usually go with path [21:07:04] I used "CommnetVisualisation" for that. It shows only the paths (of all vessels) instead of all the links [21:07:53] Now I use its parent "CommnetConstellation" and use different "frequencies" (and colors) for different networks, like "local", "Kerbin SOI", "InterNet", et. [21:08:06] needs more antenna parts, though [21:11:41] ... a little over done maybe? https://i.redd.it/kbqcvawecrd21.jpg [21:11:50] do you have screenshots packbart?

[21:19:04] flying through some clouds hoping not to hit mountains [21:21:09] Someone tell me if tourists can sit in command seats in 1.9.1. [21:31:59] i gotta do something about the landing (nose is pointing up in the air lol), but everybody's safe [21:34:35] any landing you walk away from, is a good landing. Unless its on the moon... [21:34:50] ... sorry crash landing that is [21:46:55] hatrix: no, sorry, I can't find the sandbox save with a larger network and my current career doesn't extend beyond Minmus, yet :) [21:52:01] I've barely reached out past Minmus... figured if I ever do, get out to one of other planets, then maybe I can 'join the club'.
