Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Always happy to call you names you soft southern shandy drinker.

 

They're out. Last night was strangely quiet without his whatever brainrot media carrying through my ceiling

 

The reality of having fibre internet.

Download game from Steam, it's 3.5GB.

Installed in less time than it takes to watch a Youtube short. What? The world may be going to hell, but it least we get to live in the future.

 

Flash git, with your la-di-dah fast internet…

 

Nice, innit?

Sadly I’ll lose my synchronous connection when I move, because YouFibre isn’t available there. I’ll still have FTTH/FTTP, and it’ll still be fast af, but it’ll be asynchronous instead.

I don’t quite know what I actually need a 2Gbps upload speed for, but I’ll still be sad to see it go.

 

In the future there will be no downloading of games, it'll all be streamed, enjoy it whilst you can.

Can't even remember the last time I saw a game that small, most seem to be 100Gb.

it is lovely though have fast internet, quite a luxury, course when it goes down, nothing works in the house because most stuff is streamed or connected in someway, even the TV now........nightmare.

 

So, when Putin's boats start severing the undersea links we're all fugged.

 

It's part of the plan to move us all onto Elon's satellite interweb... for reasons.

 

I think I have enough i'd replay and a gazillion Epic have stuffed in my library that I think I may very well be dead by the time I'd be forced to do that.

Wonder if ESVI will be out by then?

 

Unless they can figure out a way to increase the speed of light and get streamed input delay below 1/10th of a second I don't see it. Even under best case condittions I always found Stadia completely unusable.

The game is Starcom: Unknown Space and it's a hoot, I've largely given up on Triple Eh titles as most of them seem to be little more than vectors to spread a shopping or gambling system.

 

And… terminal count started, T minus 10 minutes on the first crewed space flight to the Moon in over fifty years…

Freakin’… awesome…

 

Picked up keys to new house and have started the process of moving everything across. We are in a very fortunate position of still having access to our "old" house (going through conveyancing process) so it is thankfully not so much of a rush.

We had spreadsheets for everything and and overarching plan but it still somehow surprised me that things take as long as they do (context - this is not our first move). Still lots to sort but the critical things (utilities / council etc) is already either done or in process and we have a plan for the rest.

First hurdle also tested last night with putting the Ioniq 5 (slightly wider and basically as long as the Model 3) in the garage. I knew it would fit from a technical "the tape measure says its ok" perspective but its something else actually getting it in there. Just need to be careful of the backdoor (might get it re-hinged to open outwards rather than in to create more space). Also external 3 Pin sockets are in the perfect spot and tested fine with the granny charger so at least that sorts charging until we get one installed (next on the list).

Now just have to deal with the overwhelming thought of where everything should go inside. We had a plan which has changed multiple times and I am trying to stop myself from over thinking everything. Also our rabbit is super grumpy as his normal evening routine has been upset by us moving stuff so that's..... fun...

Still he will love the lawn when he sees it (note - he is a house rabbit but has never seen a lawn as our current back garden was mostly gravel with raised beds).

 

We've made a huge mistake

Spoiler

Installed OBS and linked our Twitch account... Stream happening some day

 

Over the last four and a half days, I’ve been following the progress of the Artemis 2 more or less constantly. I can fire up YouTube and watch live video footage, in extremely high quality, from a spacecraft travelling to the Moon.

I just watched a press conference, where one of the speakers talked about increasing the optical downlink to 100 megabits per second. From a spacecraft 225,401 miles away. I’m parked on my chuff on my sofa, and my phone can’t even reliably get 30Mbps on 5G (though I suspect the latency on my 5G is just a little better…!)

I know we’ve done this before, and it would have been just as incredible 60 years ago as it is now. But it’s such a heart-warmingly stark contrast to… [gestures vaguely]… everything…

 

The rebooked flights from yesterday morning to yesterday evening went smoothly.

Must say KLM rebooking via WhatsApp was quick and painless.

No EES either way which was odd but I guess they maybe didn't want any bad PR from potential crowding/missed flights before April 10 full implementation.

Got back late so got another hotel stay at the airport this end and it was a lovely day to drive back today, plus the bonus of getting petrol for under £1.50 which seemed lucky and outrageous at the same time.

Ended up being not so bad so in the end.

Nice to see a packet of biscuits beat Cardiff to the title.

 

No title yet but top two confirmed.
