  • U.S. fully bans asbestos, which kills 40,000 a year

    Jump

  • This is correct. The only thing that is regulated is the disposal (at least in WA) - otherwise home owners are legally allowed to remove it themselves as they see fit. Not that I recommend it if you don't know what you're doing, but you won't get a fine.

    Source: am homeowner who (with saftey precautions such as a tent of 3 mil plastic, negative airflow, HEPA shopvac, soap and water, and a proper respirator) removed asbestos tape from my duct work.

  • DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?

    Jump

  • It's understandable, sure. It's also a little more complex up front. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons and I'd much rather use Usenet over torrenting, even with the cost.

    I definitely think it's DMCA, unfortunately.

    Jump

  • For indexers, I have DrunkenSlug, nzbgeek, and nzbplanet. My backbone providers are UsenetExpress, FrugalUsenet, and Giganews. You can use https://whatsmyuse.net to make sure you don't have overlapping backbones.

  • The main benefit is that you don't need to use a VPN, so you get full download speeds. Also the availability and download speed isn't dependent on seeders, so more obscure content tends to survive longer on Usenet.

    Jump

  • That's not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.

  • $10,000 in 1967 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $92,911.98 today, an increase of $82,911.98 over 57 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.99% per year between 1967 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 829.12%.

    While not A list pay, that's still not bad and a livable wage, unless I'm missing something obvious.

  • DMCA takedown requests - how responsive?

    Jump

  • Usenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.

  • What benefit would a VPN give for OP's problem?

  • Critical notifications in Home Assistant

    Jump

  • At least on Android, you can make TTS go through your alarm channel on your phone at max volume, to really make sure you don't miss it. I do this for my alarm and doorbell (only when I'm at home).

  • Looking to move up from Neptune 2

    Jump

  • I probably won't be going for commercial use, just hobby stuff mainly. It would be neat to do some nylon stuff but that's probably as crazy as I'd get.

    But yes, ideally my budget is $450-1200 (wide I know, but I'd like to explore my options).

  • What were the dumb things you did in 2020 to prevent COVID?

    Jump

  • Constant hand sanitizer - I still haven't dropped this habit. I see hand sanitizer, I use hand sanitizer.

  • How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high?

    Jump

  • Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you'd do some log diving and figure out the cause.

  • Why did the ability to Watch Playlists Together go away?

    Jump

  • This probably doesn't help, but I use watch together by going to the individual episode and clicking it there. Of course, for a playlist or TV show that means you have to click it for every individual episode.

  • Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • That's not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?

  • Do you think that wealthy citizens can't be bought off by hostile foreign governments? Neither is better - we need actual regulation rather than worrying about a single company.
