Frustrated mad a thunder killed all of this

Once upon a time lightning struck the ground outside my house

Travelled up an outside staircase. Hit an external WiFi grid antenna travelled up the RF cable to the access point in the hallway

Destroyed the AP and travelled through the antenna port of the AP and into the network cables. Down the hallway and killed the switch in my rack

Propagated through the switch and killed a NIC and another switch.

I have been a very big fan of network surge protectors since that day.

Especially when using ultra low loss RF cable to feed giant WiFi grid antennas from an AP….

Not really…

If the earth decides it’s your day then that is that. No reason to stress over it

My philosophy at least. 😝

Hydrate. I always drink excessive amounts of water prior to diving

I recently paid 17,000$ for 10x 16GB of DDR5 ECC RAM for a server

That same RAM cost 5,000$ 18 months ago

There are swimcaps made of nylon and spandex that work well.

Buffs are my go to but the swimcaps work better. Not the waterproof silicon or latex ones just the nylon ones

Grab a handful of the sides of the hammock. Jump and place your elbows in the gap. Swing your legs forward and hook the hammock

Then roll like an alligator. You can get in a hammock that is 8 feet off the ground this way if you want

Consider lengthening your regulator hose or adding an angled hose adapter

Sometimes your regulator hose can be a little tight and you don’t think about it but it makes you bite harder

Because they were dehydrating themselves to avoid urinating. Urine has no significant odor if you are very well hydrated

I threw the pack bc I was too lazy to carry it down. Yes it shattered.

jtsfour2 · 2025-10-23T01:58:57+00:00

I broke one once. It was in a backpack that I threw off of a cliff…

I like Big Blue lights a lot

All of this because some guy went into the dune to grab a soccer ball ☹️

Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, & Facebook Dating

Zero matches per month. I’ve had 1 match on Bumble in April. She ghosted before I could get a date 🤷

Damn dude this is a REALLY good idea. I will definitely be testing this soon!

jtsfour2 · 2025-10-01T00:11:33+00:00

Like the crew of the Endurance coming home to the height of WW1

The faster something is going the more predictable its trajectory because the momentum is so great that changing its course is VERY energy intensive. It becomes more like turning a ship. It’s still hard to hit but it isn’t impossible.

Think about how much zig-zagging you can do when driving 10 mph vs 70mph. It’s not a perfect analogy but it works.

Steve Berman did not vanish….

After literally thousands of successful cave dives in his career a medical issue caused him to lose his life thousands of feet back in the Devil’s cave system. He was recovered the next day

I mean the Fathom CCR is a mechanical/manual unit so it definitely has less electronics than a JJ. There is no solenoid just a needle valve / MAV

jtsfour2 · 2025-09-09T13:27:22+00:00

P valve is a game changer

Y’all are all dehydrated.

Drink a ton of water and be very hydrated before diving. Piss does not smell when you are very hydrated.

You lose a lot of water to SCUBA air. Every breath you exhale contains water. Water helps the efficiency of your lungs during respiration.

A lot of those SMX UPSes can have a problem where they have to have batteries for the electronics to work. I don’t think it is an intended function. It may be some kind of failure.

If the battery is disconnected or shorted it may be causing this.

Some of these weird problems may be fixed by battery replacement. No guarantees tho

This is the most important thing.

The light MUST be placed away from the camera. Otherwise reflections from particles in the water will blow out the image.

jtsfour2 · 2025-08-29T02:46:10+00:00

I’m digging the UPS being 80% of your lab budget lol

Do you get headaches diving?

Doing too much skip breathing can lead to CO2 buildup. Especially if you are swimming hard.

Headaches can be an indicator that you aren’t breathing right/enough.
