[00:28:15] Fluburtur: build a Boeing bird of prey [00:39:55] How do I figure out the mass of an RCS quad with a certain fuel type and tech level? Hmm, nm, it's probably too difficult. [00:51:07] Does the reason a hard drive spindle motor won't stay running while connected to the main board have to do with throwing a mess of errors in the firmware because nothing else is connected? [00:53:21] i have a feeling you dug too deep for that question to make sense to anyone besides yourself [00:55:03] however, my first guess would be the motor stops spinning because of a powersave feature [00:55:49] and thus would be totally uncorrelated with any error messages [00:57:04] well, uncorrelated might be the wrong word [00:57:15] hm, let me reprase. My spindle motor won't stay running because of firmware error messages....and hmmm. that would make sense. [00:57:21] *rephrase [00:58:26] how are you reading the firmware errors if nothing is connected? [01:01:46] Just a hunch, because when the hard drive was together (and running, it failed on me) the motor never stopped that fast. [01:08:02] Draconiator, a head crash might make it stop a lot faster... [01:13:59] well, my first attempt would be trying to get SMART data [02:12:47] hmmm, Windows did NOT like me plugging the bare hard drive board in to check SMART data - bluescreened me with a DPC Watchdog Violation. Looked it up and apparently Windows thought I'd connected a SSD with no actual storage and it freaked out heh [02:16:14] hi o/ [03:28:41] Anyone here? [03:54:02] yes [03:54:14] Learn to IRC [05:00:59] https://i.redd.it/j5perjuyvri21.jpg [06:25:42] Hngh. Gotta love how I join the /r/KerbalSpaceProgram's discord and instead of helping me install MechJeb, they're asking why I want to install it when d/v is part of the game now. e.e [06:25:54] You guys were always the cool ones. :P [06:30:19] the logs will show a fair share of elitisim here too :P [06:30:50] Well I haven't been here in years. I think the last I was here was... before Steam release? [06:31:17] Or somewhere around there. I don't know how it's changed. [06:32:19] just got quieter, really [07:05:46] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:35:56] But just a little bit quieter ;P [08:36:09] We're just too excited about the Crew Dragon launch! [08:40:44] Is it still a 7-seater? [08:59:39] One dummy and some cargo [09:00:06] For the later versions, yes, still 7 seats [09:01:10] Uhh [09:01:21] didn't know that: SpX-DM2: Crewed test flight of the Dragon 2 capsule, with two astronauts for two weeks [10:18:12] two weeks is to the moon and back? [10:33:08] or orbiting for while [11:26:33] Space flight gotten so easy, we sending even dummies into space huh? :P [11:26:59] just... don't cats in space, got enough videos of them down here on earth as it is. :\ [11:36:40] lol [11:36:44] oh left [11:42:50] charmonium [11:47:41] we smelt the ore and the ore smelt good [13:00:55] hi, if anyone familiar with mechjeb, is it possible to control trust level with it and turn engines off at all? [13:01:02] thrust* [13:02:53] i am looking at scripting actions and see only activation of engine [13:12:28] how do I make a 3d pdf file [13:21:35] What's that? [13:22:20] You could put https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram in it. [13:24:05] Fluburtur: [13:28:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:29:36] Fluburtur, heading west parallel to the arctic region now, then it's just head back down south to the KSC! [13:30:57] Well, you know... south and around a continent first [13:32:35] Yukkuri, for scripting, you might want kOS instead [13:33:21] lordcirth: what mechjeb is good for then? [13:38:17] god, kos even having telnet server for easy access [13:38:39] as well as conventional turing-complete language [13:38:59] looks awesome [14:03:00] Yukkuri, mechjeb is mostly so you can click buttons and it does things. If you're going to script it, kOS is better. [14:04:43] i like kRPC better but it's an external processed and there might be some critical lag for an autopilot [14:06:06] i never got the hang of the Mechjeb scripting thing. writing a bit of Python to refill probe tanks and automate some mining jobs such was much easier [14:06:17] Depends; kOS isn't the most efficient language either, and it runs in the same thread as the game' [14:35:23] nice [14:35:32] I flew my glider with the new battery, I am satisfied [14:44:06] Nice, Flub [14:44:29] 27k fuel remaining. I think I'll make it, but it WILL be tight [16:57:43] What's great, though, is that I now only need 1/12 throttle to maintain the same speed I was getting before, so it's twice as efficient now. [16:59:23] Just over 1/6 fuel remaining, and WE'RE HEADING SOUTH onto the home stretch! [16:59:38] so no refuel for the whole trip [16:59:42] Nope [16:59:46] that is some kind of record [16:59:53] Not so far, and it looks like I might make it [17:00:45] I'm not celebrating until I get there, but yeah, I don't think anyone ever did this before [17:09:13] what are you doing, Deddly [17:11:34] I'm doing Fluburtur's Sanity Challenge [17:11:56] He calls it something else, though [17:11:59] hoglahoo, https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/124971-the-kerbin-submarine-circumnavigation-challenge/& [17:12:16] the kerbin ocean circumnavigatipn thing [17:13:01] oh lord [17:13:27] wont you buy me a mercedes benz? [17:16:15] That's not ocean circumnavigation, Althego, that would be the Elcano challenge. This? Nah, this is like doing it four times [17:16:44] Did anyone ever finish that challenge? [17:16:48] No [17:16:56] not even flub [17:17:10] But I'm nearly there [17:17:23] Did anyone every calculate how long it takes? :D [17:17:25] ...relatively speaking [17:17:46] I did 1200km of it [17:17:56] I'm up at near the north pole, now turning south on the last stretch home [17:18:58] If I make it without refuelling, this will be incredibly satisfying [17:19:27] how long ago did you accept the challenge [17:19:44] I started by sending up a satellite to set waypoints for the trip [17:19:53] Ooh, let me see now...
