15:42 independent56 Warning: due to two storms approaching the UK, the power in my local area may be knocked out. This will couse my router to fail, stopping the server from being online
15:44 sfan5         should storms normally cause such things?
15:47 erlehmann     no, they should do not
15:47 erlehmann     independent56, put this into your servers MOTD

15:47 erlehmann     > An amber wind warning is in place for parts of the North East, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Lancashire until midnight as Storm Dudley begins to bite.
15:47 independent56 Ah yes, good idea
15:47 erlehmann     > Northern Powergrid said there was a "relatively high likelihood" that there would be disruption to power supplies.
15:47 independent56 I'm closer to manchester, so i'm more scared of the second storm
15:48 erlehmann     > lessons had been learned from Storm Arwen, which saw around 10 to 20% of customers affected by "multiple faults" on the network.
15:48 erlehmann     > "The most important thing is please, unless it's absolutely necessary, don't go out in the storms and only travel if it's absolutely essential."
15:48 erlehmann     this sounds serious
15:50 erlehmann     lets see how it is for mainland europe
15:51 erlehmann     hmm, why is this map so red https://www.wettergefahren.de/DWD/warnungen/warnapp_gemeinden/warnungen_gemeinde_map_de.png
15:53 independent56 That is just in the right place for a server i don't like.
15:53 independent56 >:-)
15:53 erlehmann     lol
15:53 erlehmann     independent56 i guess this is a thing for the entirety of northern europe
15:53 erlehmann     the storm, i mean
15:53 independent56 Yes. On the walk home from school, it hasn't stopped raining. And i couldn't use mobe data at all during lunchtime because of the wind
15:54 erlehmann     oof
15:54 erlehmann     yeah so it seems it's a north sea thing
15:55 erlehmann     ok so parts of germany are cancelling school? nope, storm usually do NOT cause such things.
15:56 independent56 !!
16:02 independent56 The news is on IRC, Twtter, Dokuwiki, and the MOTD.
16:04 erlehmann     https://www.dwd.de/DE/wetter/thema_des_tages/2022/2/16.html
16:04 independent56 I want to see a full map of europe being affected
16:05 erlehmann     > Ab der Nacht zum Donnerstag muss vom Nordwesten bis zur Mitte und in die östlichen Landesteile verbreitet mit schweren Sturmböen bis 100 km/h gerechnet werden. Bevorzugt an der Kaltfront, die von Nordwest nach Südost über Deutschland hinwegzieht sowie in den mitunter gewittrigen Schauern dahinter sind sogar einzelne orkanartige Böen und Orkanböen bis 120 km/h wahrscheinlich.
16:05 erlehmann     > Größere Bäume können entwurzelt, Dächer beschädigt und Gegenstände umher gewirbelt werden. Damit wird der Verkehr sowohl am Boden als auch in der Luft so seine Schwierigkeiten haben. Es gilt also nicht nur Reisen, sondern generell den Aufenthalt im Freien nach Möglichkeit zu vermeiden.
16:05 independent56 Their names aren't as cool as ours. We have Dudley, they have YLEINA
16:05 independent56 How do you even pronounce that? :p
16:05 erlehmann     dudley LOL
16:06 erlehmann     dud

16:07 independent56 The second storm seems to just by bypassing the UK in this map. But there is an amber warning on my map.
16:07 erlehmann     independent56 R.I.P. germany and benelux states
16:08 independent56 Have a look at friday's map: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?date=2022-02-16

16:09 independent56 > Roads, bridges and railway lines are likely to close, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights
16:09 independent56 There is a good chance that power cuts, possibly prolonged, could occur and possibly affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
16:16 erlehmann     oof
16:17 independent56 I repeat: this lunchtime, mobile data wouldn't work
16:17 independent56 And i use Vodafone, one of the biggest suppliers!
16:19 erlehmann     i think i am contractually forbidden to say anything bad about vodafone in public, so i will not
16:19 erlehmann     if you get what i mean
16:19 erlehmann     (i mean exactly what i said)
17:57 erlehmann     a quick reminder about wind forces https://cdn.ikointl.com/sites/default/files/beaufort-scale-2.jpeg
17:57 erlehmann     if you have difficulties understanding what a storm warning entails, look at the bottom right part of the picture

23:25 lagash        Uh oh, Debian Stable has a security update for MineTest..
23:25 erlehmann     nice
23:26 erlehmann     finally
23:27 erlehmann     https://lwn.net/Articles/884714/
23:28 kabou         too bad they only patched 5.3
23:29 kabou         instead of backporting 5.4 that is in a newer version of debian
23:29 erlehmann     it is *stable*
23:29 erlehmann     no surprises
23:30 erlehmann     even if something does not do the API rugpull dance, debian stale would not backport stuff by default, you'd have to have backports
23:30 kabou         lol "debian stale"
23:30 erlehmann     as a separate repo
23:31 erlehmann     i mean you can totally run minetest 5.4.1 on debian stable
23:32 kabou         I have been a debian user almost since the botched 1.3 version of it.  My first was a 1.3.1 cd
23:32 kabou         used to run unstable
23:32 kabou         fun times when they broke libc
23:33 kabou         a good way to learn mad unix skillz
23:33 kabou         I even remember writing modelines for Xfree86.conf
23:34 kabou         when S3Trio64 was the videocard that ruled
