Comic Strips

Did i read linux isos?

Oof. Still too soon.

In my heart, he later finds someone else's glasses, and sits reading happily on their makeshift grave.

Pardon me mister or misses. But in my naivity, I was under the impression that the comic above, perhaps, was intended for humoristic purposes, and therefore might not be an accurate reflection of reality.

Boy I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder!

Also a good option: !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Cracking your Switch is extremely easy if you have one from 2017/18 that is in the right serial number range ^^

Do you know when or why they blocked it?

It feels like every day I’m finding new annoyances with lemmy.world.

I don't want to out myself as a bunker nerd, but there's two points here that are worth noting: all modern bunkers circulate exterior air (through an NBAC filter) specifically to avoid problems arising from "bad air", and many bunkers have dedicated rooms for generating equipment that have entirely isolated air supplies to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, isolate fuel from ignition sources and so you can lock your traitorous brother in there and not have to listen to his pleading he knows what he did.

It's not necessarily gasoline could be a diesel generator which would last significantly longer. I bought an RV that had been sitting for 8 years with a full tank of diesel and it fired right up. Smokey and smelly but it still functioned.

Diesel will last a while (way longer than 6mo) but it’ll get pretty nasty after a few years. As the other commenter pointed out you technically can still run it but it will ruin your shit and eventually things will just seize up and at best will need to be completely torn down and thoroughly cleaned, at worst scrapped

Not a hospital but I have a generator on my house. Runs on liquid propane. I live in an area with terrible infrastructure. I lost power twice today (only 20 minutes each time, thankfully) because it rained. It typically runs about 3-400 hours a year and we typically have at least 1 >6hr outage every 2 months or so and at least one outage longer than 4 days a year during snow season, two if there’s a nasty hurricane season in the northeast.

We have no services available to our house aside from internet (eg no gas, no sewer, no water, etc) so we just have a large tank for the liquid propane. We originally just had them come twice a year but that was insufficient. We then had them come after serious run times but that was a pain to remember to call. I now have an ultrasonic tank monitor on there, it was like $50 and connects via Ethernet to home assistant, uses some magic ultrasonic nonsense to detect the level of the tank, once the tank drops below 40% I have it ping me and I call them, repeats at 35%, 30, etc just in case I forget then more rapidly like 28, 26 because it’s really bad for the generator to run out of gas (so it’s also a reminder to just shut it off if I truly drag my feet). I wish I could send them an automated request but the companies around here are pretty “phone only” situations for the most part

I imagine the industrial solutions are fairly similar except they’re probably using the $350 generac (or equivalent) tank monitors

Someday I’ll have the money to just convert to solar. The house came with this setup and it works for now
