Oh there's a new pinned application icon in my Windows task bar, that I didn't add myself, what is it?

"Microsoft Edge"

Guys, stop trying. This is embarassing

Fuck you Azure

Remember that time before this constant whirlwind of attention-grabbing we have to endure? When people took the time to actually get complete and accurate information instead of building an entire worldview on tightly-cropped screenshots of clickbait headlines?

That was neat

There's this cute thing with front-end devs: they think every third party provides a RESTful API

"LiGNUx"

Oh well

Tuples in JavaScript when

Now they're panicking over how to display HTML content. In a Web app. In a browser.

In a meeting, currently listening to a senior tech lead panic over the idea of fetching emails

We survived Friday the 13th, so here is a very Friday the 13th shot

They were crying when their sons left

All this is not where my drop pod hit the ground.

I still have a minimal base that is built there and where I got started so I could look around for a suitable spot for a proper base, and refine enough metals to start building it. When I decided on a spot I carried all ingots and building materials I had using a truck. That was quite the experience.

But that's enough screenshot spam for now, I think

And then inside the small hangar there's this little truck that's way more useful than it looks.

Also: hooray for hinges that make it easier to have base connectors are the correct height without having to design vehicles around their connector.

All these hand-mined ores? They were carried in this good boy.

Then you have the third and fourth floors, that are completely form-over-function. The third floor has a dining hall and a lounge area, four beds are built on mezzanines.

I'm very happy with how these huge windows turned out. Because this building is built against the cliff it has no direct sunlight for half of the day, so I needed large windows to compensate. When the sun shines on them it looks amazing.

I will definitely do more of these in other bases.

There are several entrances to the main building, the main one on the ground floor has easy access to the cargo network and to a medical bay. This is extremely convenient.

Another entrance on the side of the building leads directly to the second floor, where cargo access and another medical bay are also in easy reach.

I haven't yet written the code that will put status information on the screens on that floor. I also want to be able to control stuff from there, some day.

I tried to stick to an industrial and rough feel for the technical section. It contains two refineries with yield modules, an assembler with speed and efficiency modules, an hydrogen power generator and its battery array, four large cargo containers, and twenty large hydrogen tanks.

This whole base is build on an ice lake because I want to easily be able to get and store large quantities of hydrogen for space-faring ships
