Because a well designed game does not include drudgery. “Work-simulators” focus on results and progress and gloss over many of the hours of outright boredom or physical exertion to get there.

For example, truck driving simulator does not include the pain in the ass and boring part of loading or unloading the truck. Farming simulator does not include the painstaking process of removing rocks from the field.

While I grew up on a farm, my first proper career was something called OBC seismic. What it is isn’t as important as the fact that it involved placing a 6km long sensor cable on the seabed with a winch and position it properly. To do this right requires practice, and as the principle is farly easy I wrote a small simulator that our trainees could try out. At first they found it interesting, and even the seniors from other departments enjoyed toying with it. The biggest lack of realism was that it didn’t involve doing it for 12 hours straight, only stopping to unscrew 25 meter sections and replacing them. Barring drudgery and repetitive boredom could’ve probably made it an interesting game similar to other work simulators.

At least the 1st one is likely to actually fly in a somewhat stable manner. The rest are likely too heavy, in addition to the last one having a grossly offset CoG.

Norway - Similar to many European countries, owning a gun requires a certifiable reason to do so, which basically means hunting or target shooting. Loads of guns here, as there’s a lot of moose and deer. Obtaining and owning a hunting rifle requires skill tests and a theoretical exam, and you need to be part of a hunting group.

ARs are banned for obvious reasons. The only exception is for people who are army reservists who are (were?) allowed to store their service weapon at home, if they have proper secure storage options available. This may have changed since I was a reservist myself, but those were the rules in 2007 at least.

Pistols are legal for target shooting, but with strict background checks and so forth. Plus you have to be part of a target shooting club. Getting a pistol is generally harder than a rifle, as a means of preventing pistols from ending up on the streets. Gun voilence happens, but it is extremely rare, and mostly tied to gangs and/or organized crime. Except from this asshole in 2011.

Carrying permit for guns is pretty much none existent. To/from hunting or shooting range.

Self defense is not a valid reason for obtaining and carrying a gun. You don’t really need it either. The only exception is Svalbard where is is possible due to polar bears. And even then, you can’t be an idiot about it; a few years ago this dumbass got permanently banned from the Svalbard territory after intentionally provoking a polar bear, then shooting it, claiming self defense.

I quit WT around 2019 or thereabouts. A certain amount of grinding is OK, but an economy xhange made it impossible to play the vehicles I already owned without grinding in between to afford the repair cost.

So what did they do now?

Do you need to log every packet, though? Plus, I’m sure log rotation will let you save on a lot by discarding older stuff.

I was following you until the question about specific hardware arose. There I am pretty much in the same boat as you.

The general setup is sound enough, although I am saddened to see that old cisco stuff go.

As for logging, it seems that the mikrotik hardware you specified supports logging via rsyslog. Is that a viable option for you?

I’m pro voilence against people who block grocery store entrances because they figured that was the best place to chat with someone they ran into… so yes.

Plus being headhunted by a recruiter making promises isn’t necessar7ly a good thing. How often haven’t wr heard rwcruiters promising everything, but when the paperwork arrives it’s only for a fraction of the agreed upon pay.

Plus the fact that it was reasonably practical to haul that bed around speaks to spacious passage ways

Hell yeah

Oh no, I hope it’s nothing minor

I used to do something like this in the 90’s when using PaintBrush (pre mspaint). Until one day when I learned about holding shift.

Maybe the packaging worker mistook the sticker for the one labeled Gluten Free

If windows didn’t exist, linux would dominate with the problems you describe, and we’d still see this meme, but advocating for FreeBSD instead.

That being said, I like them both. It’s been a while since I last used bsd, so I think it’s about time I give it another spin.

Cool. I used to live in Brno (although I am Norwegian). I had a coworker from Praha who used to curse commies on a daily basis when we worked offshore together. “What kind of asshole party man designed this commie piece of shit??!”. He grew up in the 80’s.

[Insert trolley problem here]

May I ask which country?

I miss /usr/ports. I could spend days just exploring its contents.

I miss an /etc structure that wasn’t a complete mess.

I miss UFS and its soft updates.

I miss the stability of fBSD 3 and 4.

I miss the ease of which you tweaked, compiled, and installed a new kernel.

And just because of the hilarious legacy that was obsolete 20 years beforw I started with it, I miss the concept of font-servers.

The main reason for my migration was the bigger userbase of linux where it was easier to find people who has resolved whatever issue I was having, plus nvidia drivers. Plus I’ve only needed to use fBSD once professionally.
