It has been a long day and I am really ready for it to be over. Today has been way too busy for my liking, I think an early bedtime might be on the cards tonight.

Hahahha guy i host for free on my home server is up my arse about his site being down.

I suspect he dwells under a rock.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why would you host someone for free? Ad revenue?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Because he is a nerd and i am a nerd and it is a lower traffic nerd site

Falun gong. They're essentially cloning youtube and other sm and shoving their shit all over it instead.

Rewatching Fargo 3.

geebus. multiple times in every episode the characters are presented with moral choices and every single time they choose wrong, they dig their own hole deeper

except for gloria and winnie , they do the right thing

it's interesting to see how the morally weak are no match for the truly evil and that there is no winning against evil, there is only survival

Reminder: if you have no power and a battery powered usb thing plugged into a hub with other usb things...unplug it.

Usually most people wait until after the valentines dinner but I guess that's a benefit of WfH

Nooo follow Dan Savage’s advice. Nobody feels acrobatic when full to the eyeballs with bubbles and steak or whatever

Couple throw downs on the chesty south intersection

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

oh dear. At least you're getting some entertainment.

Also I rang up United Energy and went through the automated machine and they said my area is suffering from a "Dim Light" issue.

I guess that sort of covers my problem even if it's just me experiencing it and not my neighbours.

I suspect that you might be in a dual feed area. One of them is up, but if it could service you fully, well you wouldn't be getting supplemented by the one that's down then, wouldja.

I suspect the heatherton terminal got fuuuuucked

Hm ok, so I have power but sort of don't have power, that's a funny situation to be in.

So it's not safe to use much?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Have a read up on undervoltage. It's not ideal, no.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

oh yikes! Hope my fridge is ok, it's still on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Should be, i can see guys working on the poles outside the foodworks now, fingers crossed it's coming back on....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sounds more like that might get your power back up as opposed to solving my problem.

The outage map that covers my area doesn’t so as far as the food works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Nope. Chesty south lights back on, still no mains for me :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Also around your area you have 3 areas with wires down and 2 areas with trees in contact with powerlines. :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Mostly the other side of south, i'm on the morris moor side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well bugger! Not helping either of us.

Hoping they get to you soon!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Where we are is like riiight at the final line where residential turns into the old industrial-now-commercial area. Was hoping this would mean thumbs out of arses quicker. Appears not to be the case.
