Applebees Appetizer posted:The severe devastating winds are maybe a 50 mile diameter at best. The further out of the center the less of a big deal, and the center is forecast to go over Miami north. No. Do not advise people to plan a vacation near a 400 mile wide Hurricane. Its not a Tornado, and the damage is not localized. The damaging winds (75-100+ Knots) are spread over nearly a 60 mile diameter that is going to sweep right along and into the keys before scooting along the Florida coast. Followed by Jose who is currently modeled to do a loop and hit the keys as well. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Sep 7, 2017 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:The Keys are a very long stretch of islands 100 miles long, Key west and the bigger islands are to the west of the predicted landfall. Most of the keys should be relatively fine if the track stays more to the east like it has been. If not then yeah it could be bad, but the track hasn't shown significant movement to the west yet. Irma is currently modeled to envelop the keys. So no. There's pessimism, and then there is unwarranted optimism in the face of a record shattering hurricane.

null_pointer posted:Goddammit, why am I looking at used Audi A3s? I have a decent enough car that I just bought, like, a year ago -- a 2012 VW GLI Autobahn -- that in theory should be fine. If you are going to buy an Audi, you buy a large or small chassis early 90s or late 80s. Never got late model Audi unless you have a lot of money.

slidebite posted:I wanted a 2-3K watt generator for emergency purposes but then noticed my fridge supposedly takes up to a 7A @ 115V ... so I'm questioning the value of getting one if I can't even power our fridge or probably deep freeze with it. You can run both on a 2-3K Watt generator, just not much else. That's roughly ~800 Watts.

slidebite posted:Mixing cleaners is typically not a good thing to do. Inverter Generators are more fuel efficient generally, because you have advanced power controls that can actually manage the fuel usage via motor by actual demand, versus a standard conventional generator that will just deliver constant output regardless of need. However, you can get standard generators with higher outputs than you can inverter generators. Adiabatic posted:While this is the current narrative, be prepared for it to change with all the insane tech advances in solar and batteries. I'm excited, but I'll also believe it when I see it. Lots of cool Solar developments, but I gotta see delivery first.

Adiabatic posted:That's very true. I'm pretty hyped about tech advances in power but it does take a while to actually get it implemented on a large scale. I'm just excited that STANDARD solar cells are dropping in price fast but getting better overall output. Means good things for my Robotics projects. I used to have to pay insane prices for good panels from Solarbotics

Adiabatic posted:I mean poo poo just thinking about load balancing with decentralized smart inverters from small renewable sites, like we were talking about yesterday in slack, gives me a huge hard-on. It would require a temendous revamping of our current transmission center load balance management equations though, which are insane and probably the most math-intensive and difficult engineering already. I know that there's an intense discussion about revamping substations to support such things, especially with Electric Car developments starting to take off.

That's what took down Ukraine and another one I can't recall. poo poo there's so much engineering to do I'm foaming at the mouth with all the opportunity! Separation for Monitoring only, and keep any actual remote access on a permanent VPN tunnel and permanent point to point encryption. The problem isn't remote access so much as poor network security practices on the cheap, and refusal to keep devices up to date.

Adiabatic posted:Yeah they had enterprise email on the same machines as the remote control network right? Some gumpy dude fell for a phishing attack and they took over and loaded bad firmware through as many remote channels they could iirc This is why you VLAN and segregate workstations from servers/architecture. Anybody needing to get to mission critical systems should have to VPN internally. cursedshitbox posted:Running Windows XP didn't help the situation. And yet Windows Server 2003 lives on in many, many corporate networks. But its less about the age of the OS, more that they were never properly audited and locked down. This is unsurprising as most companies do not keep a living inventory of active systems/os/servers/etc and they live on as ticking timebombs on the network.

Adiabatic posted:The whole Operational Technology mindset of "if it works leave it the gently caress alone", combined with the ~2-4 weeks of outage per year you can actually touch anything mission critical, makes just keeping things up-to-date a huge endeavor in the industrial sector. That's more a matter of companies needing to recognized High Availability and Disaster Recovery planning as more essential rather than cost items that should be avoided and only considered when it impacts the bottom line.
