The biggest challenges of Apollo was they had to invent so many new technologies that didn’t exist yet to solve problems, that’s why they needed a nation.

The advances in computer science alone during that era is rediculous. (listen to the podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon, it’s mind blowing)

Still they only used 74kb of Memory, that’s smaller than most image files these days.

SpaceX have 55 years newer and proven tech to work with.

Apollo took humans around the moon on their 3rd test flight.

SpaceX is on flight 8 and haven’t reached orbit yet.

I get they have other goals, but their goals seem easy in comparison, especially if you consider the tech we have now vs the 60’s

Destin did a video on how flawed the starship is.

tl:dr you’d need 9 starships if not more to take a crew to the moon because its payload to orbit sucks.

Thunderfoot did a deep dive into this https://youtu.be/75a49S4RTRU

What they are trying to do is impressive, but far more impressive things were done with 60’s technology

People think SpaceX is this big success but if you compare them to space travel in the 60’s they really aren’t.
Test flight 8 didn’t make it to orbit.

In the 60’s the Saturn 5 went into orbit on its first test flight.
On its 3rd test flight it took humans around the moon.
All of this with less computing power than some egg timers of today.

Even if we lose more, we can’t back down from a bully. We need to stand strong and roll with the punches

I think we should relax rules on how quickly it is to evaluate a plane, and focus more on keeping the plane in the sky. (looking at you Boeing)

I’d love sleeping pods or bunk beds on a plane and accept the higher risk of not being able to get out quickly.

Cars and probably even train are infinitely more dangerous and we accept those risks every day.

My experience has often been that Business mostly cares about what they and their users can directly interact with (The FE) and don’t really care about spending time and effort on the BE

I can’t imagine why anyone would put themselves through the insane amount of effort it takes to figure this stuff out and set everything up. Yet I love it, just want to keep tinkering and doing more

It’s a slippery slope

Not really but I’ll persevere, there is a lot of good in my life.

American Brain drain loading…

Nice good luck!! I think I’m going to keep NextcloudAIO as is, not having everything in one place feels better and safer.

lol I won’t those HDD’s are like my babies, I’m very careful with them, that temporary stand while not foolproof is solid, but I have no plans of testing it out now that the drives are in there

Currently I have Nextcloud-AIO running on proxmox in a docker LXC and it’s been great, very stable and I like the setup. It’s also officially supported by Nextcloud.

I’m considering moving it over to TrueNAS but I need to look at the Pros and Cons, it would be nice to have everything in one place, but that also comes with drawbacks and risks.

I love my janky temporarily solution.

I made a stand of old ikea plastic parts I had laying around, screwed them together and have both drives supported from both sides and connected together.

If I directly bump the drive hard enough they’d fall, but I’m pretty confident I can shake the table really hard and they’ll be fine.

I’m hoping to get a 3D printer to make a more permanent solution

Thanks this is a very temporary solution until I can 3D print a better solution or buy an better temporary solution.

It’s pretty stable I have a make shift stand, and I’d have to bump them pretty hard for them to fall over. If I shake the table hard they definitely won’t fall

Way too late, I’m down the rabbit hole

How do you clean the port?

Mine is at the point where there is only one specific USB-C cable that I can charge it on.

Literally all other cables simply won’t charge it, and now it’s at the point where I need to have that cable in a very specific position for it to charge.

At least wireless charging still works, the phone is only 3 years old, I really should replace the battery and port

Max with safety cars is really something else

In theory you don’t, in practice you do.
