Finally, time to play

[don@lemm.ee]

Know that you and Asafum have my gratitude.

Better to realize the value of drm free and sellers like GOG before that time then

[wizzim@infosec.pub]

In general, gasoline and diesel can be stored for 6 months to 1 year without significant degradation if they are stored in a clean, sealed, and dry container or tank, away from sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition. However, fuel that is exposed to oxygen, moisture, or contaminants can deteriorate more quickly, resulting in reduced quality, lower octane rating, and increased levels of sediments or sludge.

So yeah, the trope of hopping in an abandoned car after the zombie apocalypse does not work

[sanctimoniousape@lemmings.world]

YOU may have had that experience, but that's far from universal - remember all the "brave heroes" we were "thanking" by making them work while everyone else stayed home? Medical professionals, emergency response personnel, delivery services, truck drivers, etc.?

[sanctimoniousape@lemmings.world]

Which would presumably include a filtration system that cleaned the air of bad stuff.

[don@lemm.ee]

I have graciously bequeathed thee an UPLIKE due solely to thine reception of advice far greater than mine own. Be well, friend!

You can run Steam games with no DRM without running Steam.

[sanctimoniousape@lemmings.world]

They'd have to be significantly involved with the community to be held responsible in any way - there's been a long-standing law that protects service providers from culpability for what their users actually do with their services.

[racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml]

You can run Steam all games with no DRM without running Steam that was bought from GOG.

[tanisnikana@lemmy.world]

You’re right, I am an absolute shit with that comment and I failed to understand the world that happened around me in that moment.

I apologize.

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Yes, but on the other hand, lemmy.world are weenies

[quixotic120@lemmy.world]

Diesel will last a while (way longer than 6mo) but it’ll get pretty nasty after a few years. As the other commenter pointed out you technically can still run it but it will ruin your shit and eventually things will just seize up and at best will need to be completely torn down and thoroughly cleaned, at worst scrapped

Not a hospital but I have a generator on my house. Runs on liquid propane. I live in an area with terrible infrastructure. I lost power twice today (only 20 minutes each time, thankfully) because it rained. It typically runs about 3-400 hours a year and we typically have at least 1 >6hr outage every 2 months or so and at least one outage longer than 4 days a year during snow season, two if there’s a nasty hurricane season in the northeast.

We have no services available to our house aside from internet (eg no gas, no sewer, no water, etc) so we just have a large tank for the liquid propane. We originally just had them come twice a year but that was insufficient. We then had them come after serious run times but that was a pain to remember to call. I now have an ultrasonic tank monitor on there, it was like $50 and connects via Ethernet to home assistant, uses some magic ultrasonic nonsense to detect the level of the tank, once the tank drops below 40% I have it ping me and I call them, repeats at 35%, 30, etc just in case I forget then more rapidly like 28, 26 because it’s really bad for the generator to run out of gas (so it’s also a reminder to just shut it off if I truly drag my feet). I wish I could send them an automated request but the companies around here are pretty “phone only” situations for the most part

I imagine the industrial solutions are fairly similar except they’re probably using the $350 generac (or equivalent) tank monitors

[dukatos@lemm.ee]

They use diesel

[tmjaea@lemmy.world]

Seems multiple times more annoying than solar with a big lifepo. Hope you can switch to solar sooner than later!

[iii@mander.xyz]

Having a filtration system doesn't mean it's a good idea to create more pollution. In the same way that having a washing machine doesn't mean it's a good idea to start deficating in your pants.

[ryedaft@sh.itjust.works]

Sounds like you can do the battery conversion now and wait with adding solar panels. Should be cheaper than your generator pretty quickly considering how much you use it.

[tin@feddit.uk]

And you're telling me this now?

[breakingcups@lemmy.world]

And for those only using Steamworks, there's Steamless

[breakingcups@lemmy.world]

Boy I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder!

[uxyivrljperl@lemmy.world]

Did i read linux isos?
