Somewhere between “I want to play sci-fi video games all day,” “I want to invent everything ever,” and “I want to go on a 6-month backpacking trip in the wilderness.”

Not to be “that guy” on top of you being “that guy,” but it’s not unheard of to completely redirect a dammed river with a chute spillway. I’m gonna pretend the spillway exits that mountain to the right of what we can see lol
Me if I were in my 20s in 1994: “Hey wait is that that spastic drummer from Nirvana? What, thinks he can pull off being a front man? Psh…”
Thanks Dave Grohl for being like, the chillest rock star ever.
IIRC, the “Hot” thing is a known bug in Lemmy that can be temporarily fixed by restarting the instance. Also IIRC, the admin restarted sh.itjust.works like a week ago, and “Hot” was working immediately after that, for at least a few days.
I’m still using mostly “Top 6 Hours” until the sorting algo for “Hot” and “Active” is improved.
God, there’s a joke in there about 404 (famous drum sequencer, often referenced for its kick sample), but I just can’t get there
It could be mounted externally, separate from other systems, and it would be fairly trivial to implement a strictly mechanical means of activating it from inside the vessel. All that would be needed is to open the valve on the external pressure vessel.
If you’re referring to getting out once you’re on the surface…hell of a lot easier for rescue crews to find you and do that if you’ve got a huge orange inflatable holding you at the surface, rather than however many thousands of feet underwater.
I’ve been toying around with some design concepts for a DIY submarine for like a decade now. The first thing I thought about, right after “how do I control it going up/down” was “what do I do when that system fails, and I need to ascend in an emergency?” My thought was to have some scuba tanks attached to deployable salvage lift bags, so even if my ballasts were completely screwed, I could still ascend.
If there’s not something analogous to that on board the Titan, I’d be shocked at their stupidity; It seems incredibly foolhardy to intentionally go somewhere that no rescue vehicle can recover you, without secondary and tertiary systems in place to rescue yourself.

Is there a distro you recommend? I’ve toyed around with Tails, but the lack of persistence and forcing all traffic through Tor instead of a VPN (I guess the whole point of Tails) is too inconvenient for daily use.
