WaterWaiver
@WaterWaiver@aussie.zone
I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.

Love the new image on the main page sidebar. Looks to be from 2017?

I don’t understand. Blorp looks like another backend you host as a website. But you call it a “client”. What exactly does it do and not do compared to compare to lemmy and piefed?
- Comment on It turns out there is a Lemmy alternative with categories - anyone got stories about it? 2 months ago:
Huh, it looks like the groups (of communities) are instance-specific. piefed.social has lots, piefed.au doesn’t. Then there are “feeds” which… look like the same thing as groups? Of which piefed.au has Australian-specific ones (including a lot of auzzie.zone communities). I’ll have to find out if any of these are portable across instances or not, or if I’m stuck using multiple sites to access the fediverse >:|

Ty Lodion. May I ask if it was malicious generic traffic or malicious lemmy-api-targeted traffic?

Sounds like they’re slowly recovering from an injury and see returning to office as an accomplishment. Take it easy friend, little steps are stronger than big steps.

Question from my mum: “Does he do the sump pump drain before he does his nasal cavity?”

- Comment on I think they're putting us in the matrix 8 months ago:
Damn. My goal is the exact opposite. Make a building that a landlord can’t ruin :D
I was mainly thinking copper pipes (water, gas) and drains (PVC) which are all outdoor rated and could be designed for cheaper/easier servicing on the outside if done right (eg with skeleton stairs access).
Aircon I’m not so sure. The ducting is often steel (rusts) and the insulation can go bad if rain gets in it, requiring lots of replacement of big, heavy ducts. For this I might instead build-in some air channels into the building’s structure and contemplate condensationproof methods of lining them. Dunno. Either that or force everyone to use split systems >:D so they can get it fixed themselves when something goes wrong.
The glasshouse bit I mentioned sounds grand, but the install costs would be immense and the ongoing cleaning costs yet another disaster. Giant mesh shade sails might be a wiser option.

This is beautiful, thankyou. I now have to draw some house plans.
I’ve always thought that a few-story set of apartments could have a greenhoused vertical section out back full of plumbing, services and extra exit stairs, but I worried about the potential for trapped smells and gases. Now I realise I could put the services on the outside of this and split things further.

AusTransport sounds nice. But what happens to the old communities, to avoid people using those? I don’t know if it’s possible to lock them and leave a notice, or unlist them somehow?

Oh. -_-
Would it be possible to edit this article to point to the archive.org link, then create a new post for the new news? Not sure if you want to at this point, you’re probably sick of this roundabout. Thankyou for sharing it all.

It’s a gorgeous game experience. Not to mention they put so many other gamedevs to shame with their technical accomplishments (especially in the expansion – flooding waves in a ringworld!).
Don’t look up spoilers. Get yourself a copy and play it. Find somewhere to land :)
