en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pollution

the visible deterioration and negative aesthetic quality of the natural and human-made landscapes around people

All human activity creates “visual pollution” of all kinds. It is completely unavoidable. By the textbook definition, farmland, barns, barbed wire fences for livestock, all could qualify as visual pollution.

Wind turbines are no different. They could technically be defined as visual pollution, but they are quite benign in the grand scheme of things. They are typically designed with smooth edges and sweeping curves, and don’t give off a cluttered look, and as such do not really “interrupt” one’s environment. They do move, which can be a bit distracting, I guess.
They’re certainly much nicer to look at compared to the average nuclear/coal/nat.gas power plant

To tag on to all the good advice, you should DEFINITELY keep a decent sized fire extinguisher in your car as well. I’ve stopped one engine fire on a car not my own from spreading by having one. Pop the hood (if it’s safe to reach the latch) and unload that shit.

I suppose I should clarify. Pop it but don’t fully unlatch it, then send the extinguisher up through the new gap between grille and hood so it actually gets on top of the engine. Thru the radiator and underneath is often ineffective as most fires will be sitting up on top of the engine where most wires and fuel lines exist.

They don’t ship anything that matters. Key parts like CPU’s, GPU’s, mobos, hard nope.

Knowing the HOA they just need the property to sell so they can start harassing the new owners to fix it.

A lot of older properties get grandfathered out of HOA requirements

My parents and I live in a rural area on the west coast. It’s all about wildfire, baby. (Maybe earthquakes might be a problem but we’re far enough inland that we don’t usually see any.)

We’ve had to massively step up our fire break game, to the point of purchasing a larger brush cutter for our tractor to handle it all. Every fence line has a 50ft wide cut on either side and roughly 40 acres around the house itself is cut to bare dirt.

We’ve limbed all the pine trees near the house up to about 18-20ft off the ground, and taken out a lot of young trees that would provide ladder fuel. Any of the trees within a few hundred feet of our house get watered 3-4 times during the summer to keep their moisture content up.

We have a 250gal, 21hp wildland fire pump that lives on the back of our winter feed truck from May until October. It can spray about 80 feet…
We also maintain an 7500gal swimming pool with the filter pump plumbed up to act as a transfer pump into the fire rig for quick refilling.

Additionally, my dad added two large rain bird sprinklers to the roof of our house that can each dump about 8 gallons a minute of water out from our well, maintaining a wet zone about 20ft around all sides of the house, which has concrete fire-resistant hardiboard siding on it. The well itself is also set up to run from a propane backup generator if the power company cuts service during a fire.

There’s really not much else we can do beyond having our critical documents in a briefcase and praying.

Generally speaking, any device (“server”) hosting a “service” NEEDS to be assigned a static IP. It simplifies routing significantly and avoids random break problems because DHCP is incredibly stupid at times…

Is there any specific reason you need DHCP to assign an IP to your main hosting server vs setting it all statically?

Moving it to it’s own system will not fix the routing problem. You can probably still leave it on the USG.

You should be able to set a fixed static IP on your server, and then also statically assign that same IP to your server in your USG DHCP config- as long as they both are “thinking about” the same IP I think routing should work correctly.

If that breaks, try just assigning the static IP only from the USG side or only from the server’s side. I’m 90% sure that even if the USG does not have your server machine in it’s client list, if it sends broadcast packets to an entered IP looking for the unifi server, and the unifi server is listening on that manually set IP, they should be able to talk.

Seems to be a big exodus from Lemmy.ml all of a sudden.

About time.

empireOfLove2, (edited )
@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I can’t say what final straw is driving this exodus of moderators. But lemmy.ml has had a consistent problem with admins repeatedly banning users who post anything political that does not align with their questionable “communist” interests, and supporting mods that further those interests.
I should know, after all they used obscure, unexplained “rule 1/2” violations to 14-day ban me about 4 separate times on my old instance for comments that I thought were fairly benign and civil, but did conveniently take an antiChina or antiRussia stance. (Check the modlog on lemmy.ml directly for empireOfLove@lemmy.one)

Just overall, it’s run poorly and is falling into the same huge moderator powertrip that ruined Reddit. People should not be using it as a serious instance if possible.

You might even see this comment get removed and this account banned as well. That alone will tell you all you need to know about how .ml is run.

Trending communities helps. I often just look through a big comment section and see what instances pop up in people’s usernames.

The lemmy public site also has an instance browser that captures most of the larger active instances… join-lemmy.org/instances

There’s tons of instances available. Personally I really like lemmy.dbzer0.com these days because it is much more libertarian (as in liberty and freedom of information, not American conservatism’s idea of “libertarianism”).
And really it comes down to which instances and communities you choose to interact with, and less of which instance your account is on, as you can talk to the entire Fediverse from any instance.

Sir I believe you’re looking for 4chan.org

I’ve found 1337x’s search engine to be a little special. It’s very prone to giving zero-result searches if you over specify your search terms especially with how variable some people can be when they post torrent names and tags.

Search for “qxr” with zero other qualifiers and make sure it reports something. Then start narrowing it down with additional terms and backtrack once it gives you no results.

Yeah libgen and Anna’s both didn’t have this specific book. I got it figured out once I remembered I had an ancient protonmail account to use for sign-ups

empireOfLove2,
@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I know, and I remembered I already had a protonmail set up for junk like this. So I got the direct downloads to work after logging in this morning. Very helpful of zlibrary to NOT tell you anywhere that an account is actually required for downloads and not just “additional features”…

However, I like to mess with new tech when I come across it. IPFS seems very useful and a nice bridge between p2p resiliency of torrents with the convenience of direct download and since it seemed like I could use it for zlib, I just wanted to try it…

Well, Lukashenko just copy cats whatever daddy Putin does, so that accusation certainly tracks to be true…
