The difference with leaded gasoline and asbestos, is that everyone everywhere was being exposed to those.

And the current trajectory regarding PFAS is, a complete ban https://www.wcl.org.uk/transitioning-to-a-pfas-free-economy.asp

But they're not a problem everywhere, they're a problem of containment at the manufacturer.

This is what sloppy statements like plastics and teflon are tantamount to the widespread lead and mercury poisoning. That's just not the case but acting like it is, is exactly how industry initiate regulatory capture.

I see it the same as the big tech giants pushing hard FOR regulation, because ultimately the rules, written with their impetus will become their motes and we will all pay for it.

That's been well known for over 50 years, why do you think now, all of a sudden, this is becoming an issue now ? This is because there are new coatings, silicon based PTFE-free coatings and PTFE-based metamaterial that combine titanium, ceramic and/or PCD.

As the manufacturer invest in this new technology, they either restrict PTFE commodity manufacturers out of their market or merely stop funding lobbying that protects the PTFE.

This is not a conspiracy theory, simple emergent interests that do not require a coordination.

inorganic hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbons are, by definition, organic compounds made exclusively of carbon and hydrogen.

Do you know of any hydrocarbon that do not contain hydrogen nor carbon and that are relevant to this discussion ?

Yes, I read about it and the teflon on frying pan is explicitely NOT the problem. I understand that pointing to frying pans and saying "PTFE !!" is the attention grabbing thing to do. But there is no danger here.

The problem is the manufacturing plants leaking PFOA/PFAS into their surrounding environment !

I can't use ctrl+tab, first because it will wake up every tab that I sequentially go through. And second, because that I will have to go through hundreds of tabs this way.

Actually, I tried and this is what it looks like this, so it seems ctrl+tab no longer cycles through tabs ?

I found my tab, the title didn't help, it only had the name of the website, of which I have hundreds of tabs open, so I couldn't find it. I ended up using "tab manager plus" and finding which tabs in the list weren't discarded tabs. Still very tedious.

I notice this happens often. When ever I open a tab from the taskbar, then I can't find my way back to the tab I was on, since they open at the very end on the tab list.

It's weird, there doesn't seem to be a "go to previous tab" keyboard binding !?

The PFAS/PFOA controversy, is mostly about banning these commodity products so that the proprietary, non-commodity alternatives by western companies can become the only high temperature dry lubricant on sale.

Maybe in another 60 years we'll have the same controversy about them !

Plastic is an organic material, trees are mostly plastic (lignin, a phenolic polymer, cellulose a polysaccharide polymer, hemicellulose an heteropolysaccharide and suberin a polyester-like polymer).

The problem we're having is a naturalistic fallacy crossed with the unpleasant fact that almost everything we touch sheds dust and powder absolutely everywhere. This along with spores and yeast and other dusts constantly enter our bodies.

Plastic is only of note because we made it.

Any problems beyond that is speculative and will requires ginormous gobs of grant money to actually answer with anything than precautionary principle-based FUD.

Except plastic doesn't really seem to do anything. It just "is there". Unless you swallow enough of it to clog something, it doesn't seem to do anything.

We've seens lots of "it might interefere with hormones", but that part is always to be confirmed in the next research grant request and then we never hear about it again.

I tried, it said

So, I said no

Thanks that looks like the most attainable way for now. But I would like to have more data in there, such as season temperature trend, 10th and 90th percentile historical values and min/max temperature records, to give context to the data. Also have precipitation. Be able to zoom in and out of the data to get more find grain minute-by-minute, or see the last 5 years at once, and be able to move the "X" position in time, so that I could watch the data, at the minute level, but from 4 years ago. Also I would hope to see the 7 day temperature prediction line

Like this, where the yellow line represents "now" and to the right is predictions

This looks good, although I'm not a fan that it says "non-commercial use" To me that means, we reserve the right to alter the deal. Also it seems to get it's data from a private company, rather than my local government weather office and their public API, whatever it might be ?

Also, this says it is an API. So would I need to code up an entire web front end to display the data like I would like .. ?

I presume, there is some application which can display data of this API ? Are any, like the style I am after ?

I see that it has the historical data so that's great, maybe I could have the min/maximum recorded temperatures as part of my single temperature view thing, at least, it could do it !

I see there is a 10000 API request limit, so I don't know if that's going to work at all. If I just scroll back in time, I imagine it would bust this 10000 request cap very quickly ?

But that does sound like the most promising meteo self-hosted option.

It's kind of weird we've got maps, mail, notes but not weather ?

There are so many people making their own weather stations but it seems here there has not really been someone self-hosting their own weather dashboard !

Maybe it's a new frontier of selfhosting !

Yes, by default they will all have to be. So if you want any internet, you will have to allow strangers to communicate to you. You will have to be not a savage about it. But you will also have to be able to block outright abuse. So IDS, IPban, dns blocking, anti fish proxy, client side certificate and "drop all" as the default firewall policy. And compared to nat4, you'll be opening ports rather than forwarding them.

All this except ids is already standard issue in openwrt.

Don't forget piracy!!

Well they'd have to cut c-suite and shareholder's cut because everything else that could be squeezed out has already been squeezed out, so the c-suite and shareholder will convert their money into the political power it takes to just block out the competition.

The income stream would disappear, their operations would collapse and that would just be the end. There would not be another manufacturer that would flourish in the void left behind. Without the institutional know how and the existing structure, supply chain the current car manufacturing industry would never be able to restart if it ever stopped.

The social darwinism of the globalist free market is meant for crushing the spirit and bargaining power of individual workers, they are replaceable, disposable, interchangeable. General Motors and Ford aren't.

Does the loopback broadcast address behave differently from any other of the loopback addresses?

IP range reputation

That this even exists, is another reason why we need to switch to ipv6. There will be no maintaining "reputation lists" for 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses

Yes grafana does seem like a good framework for building such a thing. But has anyone done it ? It is quite a lot to learn so I'm curious to see if someone has made one of these self-hosted meteo application already.

Ok, I had a look at windy, but it doesn't seem possible to self-host Their github repo has a lot of stuff, but no web frontend https://github.com/orgs/windycom/

As for meteo.pl, they seem to use rrdtool to generate the graph, but like windy, they graphs are static, no scrolling or putting cursor on the graph to get exact values. Also, meteo.pl doesn't seem to have any software repository ? It is just a private commercial website ? There doesn't seem to be something to self-host ?
