    Maybe they are farmers? Apparently they have to live quote remote.

    I have family that use it as there is nothing else available

    Edit: fiber is cheap, but the land and labour required is not.

    I think that is part of the point. This helps to buffer against poor rainfall as it builds up a resovior under the ground. One of the pictures shows how it grows over 3 years, that means it would also shrink slowly over the years.

    This will give plants a chance to survive in times of limited rain.

    Now, large-scale total rainfall changes are different as they are longer term trends, but this does help with inconsistency.

    I got to Anzac memorial services each year. And for me, it isnt worship, it is a memorial about those that did indeed sacrifice theirs lives and mental health to the atrocities of both world wars.

    That said, what I take from it, and share with my child is that we must remember, so that we can avoid another one.

    I have not seen worship in Australia, and your use of the word makes me think that you misunderstand the monuments. I expect there are some that worship, but it is exceedingly rare in everyday life.

    I expect that you will be able to see past the memorial in the town the fits you.

    (PS: thanks for the question, it is really interesting and written in such a way that I believe you are genuine in your search. Good luck!)

    Yeah, i reckon it was the smaller cannon. I had another look to see if i had photos from different angles, but no. Looking at where the barrel joins the turret is probably the most obvious point of differentiation. It has two flanges that stick out on the side, which matches the smaller cannon.

    What i find interesting, is that i never realised the shape of the tank. As it is buried so far down, it was no obvious at all. Thanks for the info and sharing the photos.

    Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.

    dB's are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.

    What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?

    I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?

Does anyone know of anything like this? it would be able to tell where you are and alert you or autoconnet to the wifi using the credentials that are stored.

I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader. Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones. Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff. thanks!

    Farming Dung Beetles for Farmers Farming other things www.abc.net.au

    I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm? What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

    sorting of 'favourite' comms

    Hey lemmings. I find that I am not seeing what I am Interested in from the smaller comms I have subscribed to. Is there a way to increase their visibility? I was think it would be useful to put a multiplier on the scores of various comms, ie !perth@aussie.zone can have a 5x multiplier so that is see more of those posts, in comparison to other larger comms. I am having to go to the comms explicitly to see their posts. Cheers!

    A real world analysis of a near-100% renewable grid in Australia - Year 2. reneweconomy.com.au

    This is a great article that uses real data to see how our grid world perform with greater wind, solar and storage. It shows that we can easily achieve a 95% renewable grid with a modest level of storage. What i really like about this, is it has been running for 2 years now, and it is pragmatic about its aims (ie, not 100%), it aims for reality (this is real data that is collected weekly), and it looks at the cost (in $$ and CO2-e). He sets some targets (60% Wind, 45% Solar + storage), then works off of the actual data to scale the wind & solar generation, to see how it would meet demand. excess is accumulated in storage (theoretical battery storage and actual hydro), and shortfalls is taken from storage. The really nice part shows where "other" is required, in Australia's case, existing fossil fueled peaker plants. I often use his 1st year report to have the discussion with "non-believers" to show what is possible, and where the gaps are to achieveing a renewable grid. Have a read and let me know what you think.
