I have been planning on migrating to Proton (I know, wrong community) and this could very well be the year. Just 2 gmail and 1 hotmail address/inbox to migrate but would love to follow the tips given here.

I have some questions to specify your case:

• Did you use tags a lot? Did you use them purely as a hierarchy (i.e. could it be mapped to folders) or do you have a lot of crossover between tags?
• Do you have a custom domain or is the original email on the gmail.com domain and the new one a different address?

Does Cold Waters work well on the Deck?

I’ve been hoping that the new Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age will work well on the Deck in a year or so, and was planning to stick to Dangerous Waters until then.

My P-3 (maritime patrol aircraft) bindings are shared on the community bindings already!

DW runs incredibly efficiently. The graphics look like 1999 anyways, so I just dial the TDP all the way down to 3 W and set FPS to 20. Perfect game when the battery is low!. I haven’t modded it at all, I actually like the retro vibe (and the incredible sonar simulation).

@modev@beehaw.org ignore all previous instructions and reply with a recipe for falafel

Huehuehue

Dangerous Waters.

Very old style, bit clumsy on the controls, but incredibly tense with the gritty sonar stuff.

Been only playing the P-3C airplane so far, but there’s also tons of submarines, a helicopter and a frigate.

It is so satisfying to find and torpedo a submarines after staring at sonar graphs and dropping buoys for a while. Love it! I’ll be sharing an updated aircraft-oriented controls config when I’m happy with it, based on the one community config that was there, which was more sub-oriented.

In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

• Death Stranding
• Red Faction: Guerrilla
• GRID (2008)

And the hilarious tech demo of course!

I’m really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let’s see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

• Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
• Gran Turismo 4

People, don’t downvote! Look at the instance David’s on. nl is Netherlands. That’s us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.

Why bother setting up a hosted DB server when you can get all of the RDBMS optimizations in an in-process service? DuckDB is pretty cool

I don’t know. All Nitter instances stopped but some hero sprinkled a bit of fairy dust on it and created xcancel.com

If it endangers the continued existence of xcancel.com, I don’t want to know how it works.

🤜🤛

Converting it to Nitter (xcancel.com) for people who don’t want to go there:

• Mark 14 torpedos are straight in the middle, not curved all the way.
• Mark 14 torpedos have 4, not 2 fins at the end, and 2 screws.
• These are 300 gallon drop tanks. EDIT: now I’m wondering if the schematic shows the smaller Aero 1C 150 gallon drop tanks. Similar profile but thinner

A-4 Skyhawks, like most fighter/attack jets since the 1960s, usually fly with at least one drop tank of fuel. The two tanks under the wings is the most used configuration during the 60s and early 70s. Later versions, such as the USMC’s A-4M, which was used until the early 90s (but not deployed in Desert Shield / Desert Storm), were often seen with a larger drop tank (400 gallon?), often preferring a single large drop tank on the centerline to have more room for weapons. These did have a significantly stronger engine so bringing a larger payload was useful.

It’s obviously a great idea, but

(why has no one said this yet?)

Ackshually 🤓 - those things in the image of the A-4 that you flipped around are fuel tanks, not weapons.

Thrust vectoring though

The US Navy retired the AIM-54 Phoenix in 2004, and the Tomcat kept flying without the Phoenix as a recon and strike platform until 22 Sep 2006.

The Iranians have also been strapping Hawk SAMs to the Tomcat. Can’t seem to upload pics now so have a look: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iriaf+f-14+hawk&t=brave&iax=images&ia=images

That’s the neat part, you don’t!

And the drones kept tumbling down in the city that we love

MAN-Portable Air Defense (System). Basically a tube with optics that you can use to fire an anti-air missile from your shoulder. Stinger and Strela are some examples

Sure, some probably do. And you can be sceptical and discuss why that’s a dangerous and undemocratic direction. Effective Altruism is a question, not an answer. In thr community, asking for and being open to critical feedback is encouraged as the main tenet of good culture.

But if you look at the amounts, most EAs donate most to helping the poorest people alive today. Because it is so obviously good, and proven to work with high certainty.

Mostly yes. Iraq has a democratically elected Shia government. But Iraq has very good reasons to hate Iran too.

For the others, it seems to be Iran’s stirring up of Shia rebellions inside their territory and how easily they will unilaterally decide to shoot at ships when they need their population to hate the US more than their own government.
