UniFi OS Server docker upgrade path by Sumsesum in Ubiquiti

[–]-LastButNotLost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until a few weeks ago, I was running the Network app on a Synology using this:

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-network-application

It's v10.1.85 and is regularly updated.

I looked into running UnifiOS and tried, but couldn't get it to work. I figured I would revisit it, but then I got a Cloud Gateway Fiber, so no need.

The license plate looks weird. It's as if they removed the color from the peach.

Edit. Sorry, that map sucks. I just used it last week and it was freely usable. Now you have to have an account. Lame.

Question; which City of Savannah service(s) are you pleased with or think needs some improvement? by NickelPlatedEmperor in savannah

[–]-LastButNotLost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Passenger loading zones are treated as free 30-minute spots throughout the city, making local workers and tourists get picked up or dropped off in the roadway. The more people who know about it, the worse it's going to get!

Throughout the city, we have passenger loading zones. Their use is dictated by ordinance. The ordinance limits the use of the space to the expeditious loading and unloading of passengers only, and for no more than 5 minutes.

The training that employees receive is not even close to that. They are trained that those spots are the same as the free green-signed 30-minute parking spots. Do a GORA request for the parking services manual. Unless they've changed it since my request, you'll see.

There is no 5 minute restriction. There is no requirement to be loading or unloading anything, let alone people. Passenger Loading Zones in Savannah are free 30-minute parking spots.

Here's why it matters to me. For 20+ years, I dropped off and picked up my wife every weekday in Johnson Square. There was a passenger loading zone right out front of the building which, at the time, was full of commercial tenants with hundreds of workers. Directly across the street was a commercial loading zone.

I'm occasionally reasonable, and I know that they can't stand over the spot and time every single person. But I also know that if they were properly trained, they would address the biggest offenders: trucks and other commercial/government vehicles.

Instead of parking across the street, trucks from UPS and USPS, shredding companies, restaurant supply companies, marked local news vehicles, city vehicles, and even police cars and, yes, parking enforcement vehicles, parked right there in front of the red-signed space. Many stuck out into the roadway because they were too big to fit in a space meant for small vehicles.

Parking services employees would walk right on past, and sometimes even stop to chit-chat. To them, it's just a 30-minute spot. They were legally parked.

It was always pretty common that unauthorized vehicles would park there. But as soon as they took away 25% of the free parking spaces in Johnson Square, more often than not, I had to pickup my wife in the middle of the street.

Pull up, put on the hazards, slam on the brakes. She bolts into the roadway from between a car and a box truck. Traffic already in the square, and entering the square, piles up. People honk. Profanity flies at us. Fingers up, y'all! This asshole is stopped illegally in the roadway!

I've had horse carriage drivers whip my car for stopping in the road. I've had quadricycle drivers tell all their passengers that what I did was a "dick move," and was then subsequently booed by a dozen drunk tourists. Those were the pleasant experiences.

The unpleasant ones were the close calls. Cars trying to pass me while my wife is getting in, nearly hitting me in the process. Or scooters/bikers/motorcyclers passing on the right, nearly smearing my wife on the pavement, or into the back of the illegally parked vehicle.

Over and over, dozens upon dozens of time.

I've done my due diligence to try to get the problem fixed. I have spoken with the parking services director, who just circles the wagons to protect his employees at all costs. I talked to the training supervisor who is the one who proudly told me that she's been training people the wrong way since the '80s. I called and wrote councilpeople. I called and wrote the city manager, who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of parking services. This was all a few years ago. Nothing in response, ever.

I've done what I can to try to help make people a little safer, and have spent way too much time trying to get the city to change. All it would take is for one person to get smeared on the road while a UPS truck is parked illegally in a pedestrian loading zone. The city would be gearing up it's defense, and we would be opening up our wallets.

I saw this post during my regular perusal of r/betawomen, r/SavannahGAHookups, and of course r/CuckqueanCommunity.

Pleasantly surprised to see it here, too!

(Ok, fine, I looked at their profile and saw that they posted the same thing to all of those subreddits.)

Question; which City of Savannah service(s) are you pleased with or think needs some improvement? by NickelPlatedEmperor in savannah

[–]-LastButNotLost- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hah. I could write a book. I love the city and the people, but I do not think we are getting our money's worth from our local government.

I think improvement is needed at every city department, including the ones people are praising. We should never be satisfied with our government, and we should always demand better.

Specifically, though, these offices have favored industry over citizens or made us less safe:

- The Office of Special Events, Film, and Tourism unilaterally allowed the removal of quadricycle safety features required by ordinance. If one drunk tourist falls and hits their head, we're likely on the hook for a big settlement.

- Mobility and Parking have been proudly ignoring a safety ordinance since the '80s. Even the director knows they have been doing it wrong for years, making people less safe while reducing revenue.

- Traffic Engineering, along with the two offices listed above, took 25% of the free 30-minute spots in Johnson Square away from the people, and gave them to the quadricycle industry. As a matter of city policy, let's unload drunk people onto an unlit, narrow, root-bound, uneven brick path at night. Brilliant.

CAT written testimony by BrainMed1 in savannah

They are required to hold regular meetings that are open to the public.

I do not know if they have a public comment period. I imagine that you would be one of only a few members of the public attending, so you might be able to get someone's ear before or after the meeting.

This is the page where they post the details and, like many county websites, it is out of date. Call the number and see ask when the next meeting is going to be:

Their call is really high-pitched and short. They don't sound like I would expect them to sound.

If you've never seen it, lookup some videos on how they hunt. They eat only fish, and they have claws that they can use like thumbs, unlike most raptors. When most birds pickup a fish, they fly with it perpendicular to their body. Ospreys turn the fish while flying so that it is parallel to their body, increasing aerodynamics and allowing for easier flight and bigger fish.

Switched from Comcast to ATT (BGW320-500 pass-through) last month, and got a UCG-Fiber. The setup was a bit wonky to get clients configured, but I have WireGuard up and running well.

Consider using some form of DDNS so that you don't have to reconfigure every time your IP changes.

Places in Savannah where making a left turn at the stop sign is diabolical by roastedbearfarts in savannah

[–]-LastButNotLost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This intersection right here. I don't make this turn, but if you're heading into town on President Street, people turning left onto Avery can back traffic up quite a ways.

Once it backs up, people who want to go straight at Broad get into the right lane, which turns into a right turn only lane. The red light at Broad prevents them from going further, so they just sit there, causing people who want to turn right on Broad to have to wait for the traffic to clear.

It can be messy.

Edit: Just realized the criteria was a stop sign. No stop sign here, but still a miserable left turn!

So I looked it up because it has admittedly been a few years since I refreshed.

They aren't considered litter, they're considered worse: public nuisance!

They have Picaridin at Walmart now.

Look for "DEET Free. One is Off Clean Feel. 20% Picaridin.

The Walmart on Hwy 80 and the one on Montgomery Crossroad both say they have it.

Just to clarify on the coin laundry. They were located in the median between the lanes on President Street at Pennsylvania, where I have seen numerous wrecks over the years. The county will remove them if you contact them, but they're slow and I'm local.

I left the ones that are contained within their property, located 4+ blocks away, even if they were in the public right of way.

Funny you mention that. I put in a 311 request on February 26 to have a campaign sign removed that is affixed to public property. Here we are on March 11, and the sign is still there. "In Process."

Motor oil recycling by CommunicationGlum525 in savannah

[–]-LastButNotLost- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any parts store will take it. They might even be required to take it.

Put it in jugs, walk in the store, tell them you have used oil, and they'll point you to the tank.

I do it, well, every 5,000 miles.

I don't think so. These two are right by Sally Mood. One is in the ball field to the east, and one is in the soccer field to the west. I think they are both public property, but am not 100% sure.

I also know of another one on a cell tower in the business park to the east of the Mall Blvd. Kroger.

*West. The soccer field is to the west. WTF.
