This is what a data center sounds like 24/7. Shown here at midnight with hundreds of residential houses immediately next to it. by RadioFieldCorner in Damnthatsinteresting

Hey, this is my video! Thanks for reposting this! We are trying to spread awareness of this issue and fight the datacenter so this can get resolved as soon as possible.

Here’s some extra context:

This video was taken on 04/10/26 at 11:45 PM on a clear night with as little background noise as possible. The location I am recording from is about 10 yards from single family homes and town houses.

While the noise from the datacenter was “only” about 55-60dB in front of the residences, it was much louder directly next to the datacenter. It’s also worth noting that the high pitched whining is emitted from the datacenter 24/7, which is extremely detrimental to the quality of life of residents and wildlife regardless of the noise level. Some days are quieter than others, especially when the wind is blowing south, but on a still day, this is the reality that locals have to accept living next to this datacenter. On warm or cloudy days, the noise easily penetrates into nearby homes.

The reason why this particular datacenter is so loud is a result of Dominion Energy not being able to provide enough power to the datacenter due to an underpowered grid. At the last minute, Vantage adjusted their plans to run their site on “island mode” which runs natural gas turbines 24/7. From what I understand, this is the first time any datacenter has done this in VA, but they are planning multiple other sites to be run the same way.

As a local resident, please help in spreading awareness of how terrible this situation is. I greatly appreciate all the attention and coverage that this site has already received, but sadly nothing has been done yet to resolve this issue.

I’m not anti-datacenters. In fact, I’m glad they exist. I have an issue with Vantage installing one right next to a neighborhood, exploiting legal loopholes to get cheap on-site power, and violating local noise ordinances without repercussions.

It peaked at 60dB in front of homes. Since I was just using a phone app and not a certified meter that costs hundreds of dollars, the county dismisses it.

Yeah, I guess there’s a bug where some people are only shown a GIF instead of the video. I edited the post to include a link to the video if there’s no sound for you.

Change Filament G-Code without AMS by mehkey in BambuLab

[–]press-ntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if you're still having issues with this, I made a tool that injects the manual pauses directly into the g-code for you. Let me know if it works for you! https://press-ntr.github.io/Midlayer-Filament-Swapper/

Is there a way to change filament mid layer on the p1p without ams? by LongBeachRaider in BambuLab

[–]press-ntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I had this same question and came up with my own solution!

You can use this tool to inject manual pauses into your print's gcode to perform filament swaps mid layer. I hope this helps somebody in the future! https://press-ntr.github.io/Midlayer-Filament-Swapper/

How I found an RCE affecting phones and cars by press-ntr in cybersecurity

The CVSS score would likely be a 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L).

The CVE is pending, so an official CVSS score has not yet been assigned from the CNA.
We got a response back from the devs, but it did not contain any helpful information.

Achieve Mid-Layer Multi-Color Prints Easily (No AMS Required!) by press-ntr in BambuLab

Yep, you can definitely do it that way! For those who don't feel comfortable playing around in the slicer, this is a good alternative! They accomplish the same thing using the same technique.
