The issue with submersible drones is connection. Underwater only very low frequency can go through the water, reaching outside of the water. There are new technologies to improve it, but it's very limited. So drones would need to operate autonomously. It's possible, but detection and acquisition is hard, and based on known loggings in databases. And loggings do not exist for newer platforms, or if a platform received new screws for example. Semisubmersibles are a better option, they can be equipped with starlink for example. You can see their effective use already with Ukraine, fighting off the Russian black Sea fleet without a navy in their own. Fully submersibles are possible, but much more difficult to use effectively. The US already has them, but mainly for logging and registering the sound velocity (based on salinity and temp, on different depths) but not for engaging, or at least as far as we know so far.

You too! Good luck with your project!

There's a raspi nas card so you can make a raspi a NAS with a lot of sata ports, like 8 or something! It's called pinas or something. I found a tutorial for creating your own raspi nas but it's not with the sata card I saw before... Here's a link :) When you search for "convert raspberry pi into nas" you will find a lot of tutorials and tips.

I'm at a Christmas party with friends so I'm not going to search dive to find the thing I saw right now, but know there's a sata expansion card for a raspi, I hope you can find what you are looking for!

Making a hole in your closet is something I can recommend, I'm autistic, I love cable management. But if it's an antiques cabinet I wouldn't do it. Also, if it's Ikea or something similar (laminated pressed wood fibers), when you make a hole you break the seal in the top layer so moisture can get in. This can lead to mold in the pressed wood fibers. When your house isn't cold during the winter and moisture free, it's not a big issue. Just add small planks on top and the bottom with clamps when making the hole and drill through that, otherwise it will splinter and get ugly. If it's solid wood, I would definitely make a hole to make the cables invisible.

What they, and most other countries need, is much more smaller ships.

The reason there are no battleships produced since 1944 is because they suck. It's a lot of firepower on a single platform. 1 modern torpedo and everything is a coral reef. Battleships were to be on the line of the battle, the naming comes from ship of the line. But these days we don't have line battles anymore. We have long range missiles. So it's basically a slow platform with a loss of most of your firepower if it sinks. And it will sink, when 500 cheap drones will easily saturate it's defense capabilities.

They want to add a railgun. Any idea how much energy that takes? It needs to be nuclear powered, otherwise the entire shill will be defenseless for a long time after each shot, as it needs to refill it's batteries since a shot depletes the entire ship. But ok, nuclear powered you say, the US can do that. Ok, great, now you have a weapon which can fire... so fast, the curvature of the earth and gravity have too little influence on the projectile, so over the horizon targeting doesn't work, only line of sight. Again, ships these days aren't supposed to be in line of sight range when fighting, we have long range missiles. So a railgun is useless. They found out during the Zumwalt disaster.

Clearly they used AI to render this ship. Look at the helicopter platform. It will be mostly unservicable with a seastate above 3 which is most of the time. The entire deck will constantly be washed over, no helo can land or takeoff from that. Next to that not all surfaces are angled, creating a huge radar cross section. Easy target.

So this isn't a serious combat platform, this is a micropenis compensation project. Why else would it be named after the senile dictator? Hitler wanted 2 battleships too, they both sank (one without seeing battle once). Those resources would have been much better spent on much more U-boten.

Navies want bigger ships with more capabilities, but the actual need these days is small specialized escorts ships. Small, fast ships able to escorts the high value larger platforms for defense in depth all combined with a wide spread insane amount of firepower. Some ASW, some AAW, some ASuW, but not everything at once. A single loss shouldn't be decisive to the eventual battle outcome. Strength in numbers. But tell that to a crooked pedo dictator with a micropenis.

What's even more depressing is that there isn't a proper alternative. Many music streaming services have their own flaws. A friend of mine recommended Deezer, as it has really high quality streams but that one is owned by a Russian oligarch.

Artists are paid the most with Apple music but Apple is a shit company as well. Streaming is all fucked, same with movies / shows.

If you want to support the artists, buy their music on Bandcamp. Musicians are having it hard, they need our support. They deserve our money. It's the pirate code: pirate from the mega corps and billionaires, support the little guys.

Nice! I totally get it. Just some advice: if you build something for in your closet, make sure it stands on thick rubber feet / mat. Or make a cage suspend from elastic binders. Anything to avoid the vibrations to go into the wood/metal of the closet.

It's how I have my NAS, also in a closet (next to Tom Cruise)

Some sound isolation pads (soft foam with pointy bits) around it are also an option. Just make sure it gets enough air for cooling. If you need more fresh air from outside, use the silent Noctua fans, they have less air displacement but really are very silent.

You should watch this video:

The dark side of Spotify from Slightly Sociable.

It's about short AI music created for phone farms to steal royalties away from real artists. It's a whole business model and Spotify encourages this malicious practice as all those phones use premium to earn money faster, and 33% of that money goes to Spotify. Plus they do other illegal stuff like promote music from stake holder companies over other music.

Why so much SSD storage? Just get SSD's for you OS and games etc and get HDD's, maybe put them in a NAS. Much cheaper that SSD's. You don't need the speed for data storage.

How much of that music is AI generated slob?

There's a reason we don't have battleships anymore all around the world.

If you put all the firepower on one platform, you lose everything when that platform sinks. With the sophisticated asymmetrical weaponry out there, plus the ability to use cheap drone swarms, it's much smarter to spread the firepower over multiple platforms.

But diaper Donny the crooked pedo wants what all dictators want: compensate their micropenis with everything made bigger and more impressive than others while adding their name onto everything.

One torpedo and your golden battleship will be a very effective new coral reef.

Nice one I like it

I'm not going to waste precious words on him, he won't listen anyway. No 3 words from me, just 3 knife wounds.
