Just a reminder, while they speak of data centers in space, their proposed satellite is actually more like a single server rack in space.

It's always misleading, you can't even trust their choice of words.

    "Otto vor dem Gentschenfelde" is one of those old German rural names, that just combines a name with a place. Like maybe a Farmer called Otto had his farm in front of the "Gentschen"-field. Maybe there were a bunch of other Ottos closeby so they had to distinguish.

    And then it became a last name for his descendants. While googeling I found an obituary for a guy called Dieter Otto vor dem Gentschenfelde, where Dieter was his first name and Otto was part of his last name.

    That is a convincing argument. I wasn't thinking of wireguard, but it makes sense that it's quite small and focused, being in the kernel.

    I'm dealing more with OpenVPN and that can be very annoying, that had me lean in the opposite direction earlier (and lets not even speak of the Cisco crap).

    I wonder about this change:

    • ROCM OpenCL is now used over Mesa OpenCL on all non-nvidia images.

    Usually I would expect the Mesa stuff to work better and in a more generic way than what one GPU manufacturer makes.

    Does anyone have any pointers for the reasoning of the move?

    When I opened Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition just now, the voice that usually says "Greeting Sire" as you reach the menu instead said:

    Happy Anniversary to Stronghold - the original Castle-Sim

    After checking Wikipedia, it looks like today marks 25 years since the release of Stronghold on 2001-10-19!

    Congrats to Firefly Studios. I always loved the original game with the little story between the missions. And I like how they even localised the campaign map, it showed Germany when I was playing in German as a child!

    Schlagt die Trommeln, blast das Horn, das Schwein ist im Anmarsch direkt von vorn!
