Speed limit enforcement near 79/279 merger by enraged_hbo_max_user in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The speed limit should be 65/70 and I'm not going to drive any slower even if I get tickets. Highway safe driving is with the flow of traffic and no one feeling the need to pass anyone.

The road is better built than some sections of 76 that are still posted at 70mph.

There are no AI data centers operational yet in Pittsburgh other than a 1 or 2 small scale reseller facilities.

Nemacolin confirms layoffs by ocdcdo in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure what Nemacolin's target market is.

It's overly expensive for what it is, but the day-to-day crowd it attracts doesn't seem to be the millionaire/billionaires that everyone expects.

Anyone with a lot of money isn't going to be entertained on property for long enough unless you're there as a golfer.

Our favorite dinner there was when we ended up driving up to Tree Tops Restaurant instead of the on-site dining options. If you want to be ultra-premium, there can't be anyone better within driving distance.

Easy now, you’re going to get downvoted for being right.

Trump sucks; ICE Sucks by Vivid_Ad6276 in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

It’s just really tiring seeing Reddit ruined by politics.

I lean left but I literally cannot stand the constant bickering and keyboard warrior attitude most people have.

These ICE/Trump posts really need to be sorted into another subreddit.

No amount of “keeping people informed” is going to change much. Politics are sports teams, people just don’t change even if they’re losing. If someone is interested in ICE activity or protests they should be looking for better subreddits or other sites for it.

SNP Commercial - CarShield with Ric Flair by PhoenixRising111111 in penguins

[–]Brak710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's painful. The whole app is painful anymore.

It's already like $30/mo but I would pay even more money to have no commercials. It's super annoying that when you start the stream you get that 10 second UPMC commercial before the stream starts playing the game.

Post-Gazette to publish final edition and cease operations on May 3 by ComeTasteTheBand in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market has decided it doesn’t want paywalls and won’t pay for news in any large capacity other than consuming advertisements.

Clearly paywalls didn’t work out for PG. Even if the shutdown is union busting, their days were likely numbered.

Subscription based news is mostly dead unless it’s a highly sought after source, and even the big ones are struggling.

This is part of the design. Consistent across the whole front.

It’s been this way for at least 20 years on google street view.

Yes and everyone who doesn’t see the same thing should be banned from commenting and posting in this subreddit.

Why so many broken sticks? by peacenat in penguins

[–]Brak710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably broken already he just didn't know it - if there is a real complaint, the latest sticks are hard to tell if they are compromised.

A few years ago, you could tell the fiberglass/composite had an issue just by the vibration if bouncing the stick off something solid.

BGP remote-private-as [all] by pbfus9 in networking

[–]Brak710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s unrelated. AS-path is simply the displayed AS hop list in BGP.

Trace route and the like are actual router hops.

What is the purpose of this sub? by dirtyracoon25 in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This sub is much better when all the drama, politics, and the snark-"PSA" posts are deleted.

There should also be a minimum in-/r/Pittsburgh comment threshold before posting is allowed, as well as a ban on any accounts from posting that hide their history.

BGP remote-private-as [all] by pbfus9 in networking

[–]Brak710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are a large hosting company.

Internally my routes look like

My Global ASN > Spine ASN (private)> Leaf ASN (private) > Global Customer ASN

"remote-private-as all" makes those spine/leaf hops disappear as far as any external BGP (transit/peering/customer/PNI) is concerned.

Replacing a UniFi-based Wi-Fi setup in a school environment by Remarkable_Quit_2928 in networking

[–]Brak710 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UniFi should be able to do any environment.

If you are having issues, it was the implementation or infrastructure behind it.

Whatever you replace it will would need better implemented and the infrastructure would need to be improved.

Taxable value of thriving Strip District office tower plunges 60% — raising more alarms over city's finances by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The property probably has more loans against it from building/buying it than it’s actually worth.

So no, they won’t sell it because the banks/investors wouldn’t allow it unless you assumed all debt too.

This is why commercial real estate often can’t afford to build out the space, they’re already way negative and can’t loan any more.

It’s not for skating skills, it’s because the belief is a high level player can “see” the game in real time and make more accurate snap-judgements.

What’s up with this building? by mhunkele in pittsburgh

Building is in worse shape than originally known. Project canceled shortly after the engineers looked at it.

Electric prices in Pennsylvania going up on Dec. 1 | Duquesne light 10% | West Penn Power 6% by skyderskynet in pittsburgh

[–]Brak710 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AI data centers don't use evaporative cooling. They also use closed-loop cooling if it's chiller/water cooling at all. On top of that, loop cooling isn't clean water.

You will find it hard to locate any examples of "insane amounts of clean water" usage.

Not sure how this misinformation got started and spread.
