    They can kill an animal (including a mammal) if they become entangled and give up out of suffering, though.

    This is pretty rare, but can happen.

    It’s virtually zero risk to a human, though, who can cognize things like getting their hand disentangled from a string (even in a panic situation), or to most mammals, which tend to jerk backwards on contact.


  • Oh. Here’s your fix:

    A longish piece of green grass. Hold it by one end, then slide it on the fence wire like the grass was a violin bow, getting your fingers closer and closer to the fence. At some point you notice a pinging, or your fingers are touching the fence.

    You can use this to gauge, very roughly, how powerful the charge is at that point.









  • What you probably want is a dmz or red/green localnets. A reverse proxy (as others have mentioned) like haproxy or nginx) are extremely unlikely to, themselves, be hacked. But they don’t really add security, either.

    What does add security is to have a router with a firewall, with one or more red networks, and a green network.

    The red network has all of your public-facing servers. They have virtually no external access, and no internal access except to respond. It’s even good to have a rule on the router that you can turn on/off that blocks all outbound connections from the red network to the external world. To upgrade a server, turn off the rule, upgrade, and then turn the rule on again. The router only forwards inbound connections from the internet on a specific port, and routes them to the server/servers on the red network(s) on a (possibly different) specific port.

    Most ownage-style hacks involve (once compromised) either calling home (can’t if the server is not allowed outbound connections) or opening an additional port (who cares, the router will never forward anything to that port).

    Then, back up your important info, and keep multiple copies of that info - daily for a week, monthly for a few months, and yearly.

    I do say that with certainty. And I didn’t claim that proof of stake has no environmental impact - it just doesn’t have more impact than, for example, a web server.

    If I start a carbon-neutral wing of an oil company, of course it doesn’t make an oil company carbon-neutral. However, that doesn’t impact the real value of other companies that actually are carbon neutral.

    Similarly, Ethereum is, by far, not a “green” tech, and their usage of proof of stake can easily and reasonably be called greenwashing if they don’t also severely limit the usage of POW.

    Proof of Stake, though, is not a power-hungry tech, period. And it is a means for crypto to become, overall, a nominal energy user. There are other chains out there (cardano, algorand, nano, and many others) that don’t use PoW and that use reasonable amounts of energy.

    I appreciate your passion for the environment. But misrepresentation does not help your case, though misrepresentation may help those your fight.




  • I do what I can to give my animals a good life. Mostly, that means keeping them protected and giving them a lot of space.

    I definitely hate factory farming. It’s a cancer, and allows people to eat meat without processing death. …and so, in soft ways that have hard consequences, they look away from death, and look away from any conflict -or only enough to decry it, and complain that someone should do something about it. But that mentality pervades everything they do.

    Thanks for contributing to the ultimate destruction of factory farming. You have my respect.


  • Lol I didn’t downvote you, and your self-righteousness is more of a block to getting the industry changed than it is a benefit.

    Swallow your pride, don’t be a dick. Be humble, be honest about how you feel, and live up to your own ideals. But being an insufferable twat just drives people away from your ideals - you should really only do that to insufferable twats, otherwise, the thing you stand for isn’t saving animals, it’s self-righteous intolerance - and people look at you and think “glad I’m not like that guy.”

    Win the hearts and minds, don’t just stab people for being wrong - or you’ll keep stabbing until you finally stab yourself to death.
