i unlocked a few base building and logistics milestones before you joined; i wanted to try and keep things at least a little organized in that way. ive never played on a (semi) public server before so i don't quite know the etiquette 😅

👍

server rules?

thanks!

ive used gentoo a lot, a big downside is the amount of time spent compiling, if you need to install a lot of softwares frequently it could be difficult. (though you can use --binpkg options to install binaries and some packages have a packagename-bin variant, and flatpaks + appimages are a thing) if your software needs rarely change than it can be fairly painless.

the customization and speed are rivaled by almost nothing except for something like LFS. the package availability is great. you can also use custom patches easily as well as disable or enable specific software features (USE flags) . you can choose what packages stay at stable versions, testing versions, or even bleeding edge (-9999 version tags)

for a more "standard" distro, i would recommend artix. it's an arch based distro with your choice of init system (as a gentoo fan ill recommend openrc). i used the graphical installer to get it setup and it was a breeze. due to not being source based, and having access to the AUR you can quickly install any package you want.

ive had it in my laptop for years and have been recently using it on my main pc for about a month.

additionally regardless of distro (besides immutable ones), id recommend installing timeshift for backups, it actually doesn't require btrfs! ive used it with both ext4 and F2FS and doing a quick backup before an update has definitely saved me a few headaches.

feel free to ask me any follow up questions

that's an extreme and impressive solution

isn't grayjay still proprietary?

check out artix if you want arch without systemd!

i have never seen a meme so elegantly expressed with emojis 👍

awesome issue

ah, i think i understand your confusion

support weapons are a type of stratagem (you can see other support weapon stratagems here ) unlike normal weapons, such as primary, secondary, or throwable weapons, support weapons are stratagems that are selected before each mission alongside three other stratagems. you can then call them down using their respective stratagem code, and they will arrive in a manner similar to a resupply or like the machine gun support stratagem in the tutorial.

im not sure if you looked inside the warbond, but it does contain a stratagem

it's not a buzzword, it is valuable, but as with many things "safety" is being used as an excuse to push bad legislation (in this case regulatory capture).

for examples of REAL ai safety, i would recommend looking at this YouTube channel

the difference is that, stratagems have been (until this point) been unlocked with requisition slips, not with the super credits. additionally, it might not be a daunting cost to you, but it might for others, always something to keep in mind!

it's a major shift in how warbonds work, for that reason alone it's a big deal. as far as responsibility goes, i'd invite you to find empathy for those who were suddenly impacted by this change. additionally i believe we should be advocates to make more experiences accessible to all people, regardless of financial constraints, time constraints, or other circumstances.

it's unfortunate that they are going down this route. stratagems are one of the main appeals of the game, missing out on primary, secondary, and throwable weapons due to not having a warbond isn't nearly as disappointing IMO.

something i'd like to emphasise for people who think this is no big deal, because you can earn credits by playing: not everyone has the game amount of time to play as you might. those players don't have a choice of grind for it or pay for it, for them it's pay for it or lack the stratagem.

i think it's just humour, i assume it's referring to rust's lifetimes which is a feature (mostly) unique to rust

of course, if it works best for you, it's a good option! for example, im not self-hosting the lemmy instance that i use. however, there are numerous advantages to self-hosting, and if you'd like to learn more i would recommend the selfhosted community on lemmy. world

right, i read this (the linked README) already, and i was more-so asserting it rather than asking, but thank you for the response nonetheless.

what i was trying to say is, this software claims to be "Built to last forever" and yet is not built for self hosting, my remark was meant to highlight how these things are fundamentally incompatible. keep in mind it's not necessarily bad to use a service instead of self-hosting, but i wouldn't recommend it.
