The infrastructure sure shows wear, but I think the main reason is this winter being considerably colder than average.
Last one was pretty bad already, but nothing compared to this one.
So much for all those words about Europe freezing — looks like chickens are coming home to roost 😅
> better get candles and some emergency solutions prepared
Sure, urban survivalism is my style. I remember the day in early 2000s when half the city blacked out for almost a day well.

I think it varies, but I believe it mostly relies on gas. The biggest problem is hot water pipes freezing over due to leaks and blowing up — can't be fixed quickly.
It wasn't that uncommon in the nineties even in Moscow, then we just had milder winters I guess — almost like in Europe so people started forgetting that this could happen.

It's not THAT bad in Moscow as I think it is outside of it — it's not like the whole district blacks out, just your block, and it's usually fixed in under an hour, but it isn't uncommon and it's really annoying if you have something more complex than TV running. I'd say having a UPS isn't unreasonable.
I don't think it was that bad a decade ago, it could happen once in a few month — nothing compared to this year.

@MK2boogaloo I can provide this Russian guy with a patch to bring back the about:config preference to disable WebP support in FF… 🤔
Or was this Russian guy me? 😂

@kravietz
Is there a cached copy anywhere?
I wonder what this "schedule" looks like. In summer there were weeks when I have experienced power outages every single day and I doubt any of that shit was planned.

@useless_idiot
Who the fuck is this guy defending them from though? Who or what?
Gender-neutral toilets perhaps? 🤔

Well… That makes a lot of sense! ☝️
Wait a minute… No, it doesn't! 🤣

@splitshockvirus
Except for the "self-hosting doesn't cost me much" part probably. The "operating costs" might not be high, but didn't you spend some on the hardware itself? 🤔
You also pay with your time keeping everything you host up to date and considering things you sometimes encounter, I'd've probably shut it all down a year ago 😅

А если с друзьями получается — вообще отлично 👍

Ага, вот у меня так лежат Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin две части и Tyrrany — как посмотришь, подумаешь, что во всё это надо вникать чтобы оценить — а времени уже столько, сколько было в подростковом возрасте, нет — и руки опускаются. Я вообще перестал покупать игры 😩
Игры же типа Diablo мне всегда казались слишком однообразными — а вот сейчас, мне кажется будут в самый раз 😅

А сколько всего нового в привычной музыке появляется, когда начинаешь в наушниках слушать, а не на четверть громкости — чтобы никого не тревожить в и так шумном помещении! 🤭

You have to call Ghostbusters to make sure 😆

It did get better, but I still restrict it from running in the background 😅

> Soviet Union consistently spent a greater share of its GDP on its military than did the United States does slightly take away from the message

Isn't it exactly what makes it funny? The hypocrisy: how USSR always pretended to be for peace, but had always been preparing for war — in the end it never got invaded, but got buried under the rubble of its inefficient economy. And while it itself is long gone, the tanks made in the Soviet Union are on the battlefield today.

@mirabilos
That's interesting. Thanks for the info!

I hope human QA team will still be able to figure out what those AI coders have developed under the supervision of AI project manager 🤣

@piggo
Yeah, true — probably some American thing. Mine does have some smart functions like timer, but I've never used it — not sure it even works. It has a failsafe that shuts off the gas to the cooktops and to the oven when there is no flame, but it also has a regular valve and nothing like that DTMF shit — probably was done with the best of intent e.g to prevent kids from messing with it — I doubt they could figure out playing tones to it with a phone, but still sounds scary 🤭

@YeetLibs
This unironically. I play some old videos in 720p on my 4k TV and… They don't look so bad. At the same time some more recent ones in 2160p don't look that impressive at all. If the bitrate isn't high enough, resolution means nothing 🤷

Damn, this looks more complicated than it originally might have seemed 🤪
