Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando. Has it ever happened, or has anyone ever considered letting someone pass them on the second to last lap, with the expectation that they would have DRS on the last lap and get the lead back and win?
When you watch the front tyres of these cars in slow motion, it sure looks like they are rotating faster than the ground would have them rotate. Makes no sense! Any physicists in here that can explain?...
When you watch the video at the 7:17 timestamp, the front tyres are moving faster than the ground under them. This can easily happen with rear (powered) tyres (i.e., “burning rubber”, “peeling out”, etc.). But how can the front tyres go faster than the ground is making them move?
I currently have my reverse proxy on my NAS. That means I forward all of my 443 HTTPS traffic to my NAS. I am using OpnSense for my router, and there are several options for reverse proxies on that. Everything works the way it is now, but I do wonder if it would be “better” if I moved all of the reverse proxy stuff to my...
This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don’t think a screenshot would help because everything “LOOKS” fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can’t drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I...
I am going to build a router with OPNSense (in Proxmox, on an HP thin client). I am stuck with setting up the networking (I have the Inel 4-port card). I don’t really know how to get started. Right now my device has one LAN cable going into it, and my consumer router is doing everything. I can set up a bridge for the other...
Let’s see if I got this… great idea to disable DHCP on the new OPNSense for now. I forgot about that. Just keep the one LAN cable going in, and I will just keep the IP address as it is right now (.79). Not even worry about the WAN port at all. Set up all of the features, including things like reserved IP addresses and whatnot. Then, when I am ready to drop it in, I will turn the old router off, and on the new router set up a static IP on the LAN port (.0.1) and add the WAN port (DHCP). Drop it in place, turn on DHCP and I’ll be good to go.
Yeah, but I’d rather not change it because I am pretty sure there are some devices in the house where I set up static IP addresses. I try not to do that, but over the years, I am pretty sure there are at least a couple. Heh, maybe a good time to seek them out!
I’m thinking about building a box for pfsense. Looking at hardware options and I see a pretty significant difference in price when comparing hardware with and without AES-NI. I don’t necessarily think I’ll need AES. The way I understand it, AES is for using VPN that is somehow running on the router??? I mean, my wife and I...
I thought it gave an interesting twist too. I guess I would feel different if I wasn’t a RB fan. Hard to say.
One other possibility comes to mind. What if there are no rule changes, but instead if the stewards think a team might try to take advantage of this, they decide at race time to hold their ruling disclosure until after the race?
That’s a great point. I think I am of the mind that it doesn’t need fixing. I also do not like penalties after the race. So just let it be. If once a year a team figures out a way to exploit this, then so be it.
With git/github I really only pull and push. I don’t really use any of the other features. Same for the kids on my robotics team. The only thing I have taught them is pull and push. The kids do a pull at the beginning of practice and a push at the end. Yet sometimes I see this in the commit logs. Why are these merges...
It is for a middle school robotics team (FIRST Lego League if you have ever heard of it). No, I don’t have some burning desire to get rid of the merges. I was mostly woried that we were doing something wrong. We definitely do not have any branches. We really just use github to have a safe place to store our code and so that all of the laptops can have all of the code from all of the teammates.
For sure I don’t want to add any complexity. I think that since from their end it looks like it is doing exactly what they think it does (i.e., I upload my code with a push, and I get everyone else’s code with a pull), there’s definitely no need to fix a non-problem.

When Magnussen’s car caught on fire today, it made me wonder: what’s burning? The fire was coming out of the exhaust, so I can’t imagine what was actually burning. And then, what does that mean for the engine? Can it be repaired, or does the whole engine need replacing? There are limits to how many engines a team uses each...
That makes sense. It was a red-orange slow-ish fire. Still not good. If it is just a seal, and as long as everything was still lubricated, I suppose it could probably be rebuilt.
I watched the qualifications highlights and saw what happened with Perez. So, I thought the qualifications were for the start position in the sprint. Obviously not since he started front row. And now that the sprint is over, and I see the lineup for the race, perez is starting 15th. I thought the sprint was used to determine the...

Strategically let someone pass you?
Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando.
