Grocery store chargers are usually Level 2. I can typically recharge enough to cover my round trip to the grocery store while I’m shopping, but you’d have to camp there for 9+ hours to full charge.

People who seem passionate about PyLova don’t seem to grasp that blocking/filtering weirdos is the whole point of PieFed. I don’t understand the overall reaction to PieFed doing what it does. PieFed was never meant to be an “anything goes” type of thing.

On the surface I love that there’s another fediverse project to consider, but everything I’ve read from developers and supporters of PyLova seems like an overreaction. Lots of personal attacks and overall childish behavior. It’s ok to have a different view of how social media should work, but for me I’m going to hang with the adults in the room.

If I wanted unfiltered social media full of misinformation, conspiracy theories, Russian Propaganda, etc. I’d go to Lemmy or Twitter. I don’t want that, so I use PieFed.

No thanks. I view the PyLova devs similarly to how you see the PieFed devs.

The reddit community that I’m still sort of active in relies on RSS in order to run and judge contests. We have a portal which sucks comments in via RSS because they revoked the API key which was used for the same purpose.

Without RSS, we’ll either have to come up with some other way to pull in reddit comments, or force everyone to use PieFed.

My vote is for the latter, of course!

ATC could see both of them no problem, but ATC is often overloaded and will pawn off responsibility to the pilots to maintain separation.

Legally speaking, the controller in that accident did their job correctly. The helicopter pilots assured the controller multiple times that they would pass behind the jet.

The current hot topic is ADSB IN. Most aircraft are required to have ADSB OUT these days, but very few aircraft (especially airliners) have recievers to display that info.

It’s direct, line of site communication from aircraft to aircraft. Exact position in relation to each other, right on your nav display.

My understanding is that it’s an upgrade to the current situational awareness provided by TCAS. TCAS is wonderful but broke down in the DCA crash because [I don’t remember the real reason so I’d just be guessing here]. TCAS should have saved the day, but there was something missing (probably the helicopter transponder wasn’t “participating” in the TCAS conversation that airplanes usually have (the TCAS computers, not the pilots)).

Would ADSB IN have helped prevent DCA? Yes, assuming the helicopter had it they would have had better situational awareness. If the helicopter had their transponder turned off, though, it’s not clear to me if they would be broadcasting ADSB for the airliner to see.

I use Backblaze B2 for off-site backup.

I recently starting using Proxmox Backup Server to back up my virtual machines.

I have Restic scheduled to back up the PBS folder, photos, etc. multiple times per week. My restic script excludes large replaceable things like video files.

Backblaze announced recently that they’re switching to everything being encrypted on their end. It’s already encrypted coming from my server, but I guess it’ll be double encrypted? The only caveat is it only applies to new objects, so I plan on making a new bucket and starting my backup from scratch.

I, for one, value my family photos more than a replaceable, insured box made of wood with electrical wires running all over the place.

It’s hooked up to a database to make sure it’s not a fake ID.

It has been a while, but I’ve learned a lot about IPv6 since 5 months ago.

To recap - you helped me get IPv6 set up on my Mikrotik router, but Frontier only gives me a /64. In this comment you recommended looking into NPT to help subnet my LAN.

I think this is basically what I’m doing, but I’ll do some more reading about it. Right now I’m using IPv6 Firewall -> NAT -> some masquerade rules for the ULA addresses I have set up.

Like you said, they don’t really reach the outside world as IPv6, since IPv4 takes priority over them.

So just to clarify, you’re saying if I assign a random, unallocated GUA in the same fashion, and then NAT it to the prefix from my ISP, that could get around the browser limitation?

I get a subscription 3 days at a time through my library.

There are two of these in my little town. One of them was right outside my neighborhood and it got cut down earlier this month and I’m super happy about it.

I posted about them on F-book (it’s either that or Nextdoor when trying to reach people locally) when they were first installed and there were a lot of boot lickers. “It helps the police so I’m all for it”, etc.

Someone else posted more recently the the mood has shifted substantially since a year ago. People are more aware and more upset about them.

A beautiful state ruined by rednecks and religion.

Ehh, a little overboard with the HDR effect. I don’t think it’s a nice photo even ignoring the subject matter.

Edit: that picture doesn’t show up for on that page ¯\(ツ)/¯

The iPhone has 2FA enabled, or F-book?

Official word from wildlife experts is to help turtles across the road, carrying them in the direction they’re facing.

Except for Snapping Turtles. There’s no safe place to grab them unless you have thick leather gloves.

Thanks for bringing this format to my attention. I opened it in a browser and it’s pretty sweet.

Hopefully app support will grown over time… Otherwise it’ll be .gif 'till the end.

If you ever get curious, PieFed has a list of differences. https://join.piefed.social/features/

Nothing wrong with Lemmy, really. The developers just have ideological differences.

Was the softener bypassed during this time, or was there a regular supply of water flowing through it?

I re-activated a “stagnant” softener about 4 years ago immediately started failing well water tests due to coliform bacteria. Eventually I figured out it was the softener and not the well. It has since been replaced.

That one had been bypassed for who knows how long, which is worse than keeping water running through the beads and simply not adding salt.

For the brine tank (pictured in your post) let the salt run out on purpose and bring it outside and rinse it out once a year.

Brine water is very sterile. Stuff can’t grow in it.

It sort of makes sense, though. Google Search has been a hot pile of garbage for years. Researching something simple used to be quick and easy, but now you have to sift through endless SEO trash websites to find half an answer (or use a better search engine).

People go for the path of least resistance.
