Went down to the creek and there's a skip in front of every house. Oh dear. Normally, the creek is a few meters below the tree line in 01-03. But as you can see, it went over the fields, several tens of meters wide.
Three days after the flood
The fire engine house next to the creek was also flooded. But the operational capability of the fire brigade was not affected as they already responded.
It's crazy how the relatively shallow field road on top of the hill looks. It was already in bad shape, but that's now another level. The drainage area is rather small, but tons of gravel is now in the meadows. 10cm deep holes and ditches in the road. The very loose gravel is difficult to cycle and walk on.
@anth If you can find a UL 150 certified media safe it should stay at or below 150°F which should protect tape, CDs, etc.

Speaking of “AI” … I guess I gotta find out soon how to disable/sabotage Microsoft’s “Recall”, before this garbage takes over the family computers. 😩
(There’s no way the people in question will switch operating systems. I’ve tried, countless times.)

@prologic Sometimes some “coding AI” spits out some partially useful snippet, and then one of us nerds panics and claims the end is nigh. I think that’s about it. 🤔
All these “AI” topics are extremely boring to me. (Traditional) computer stuff is a hobby and a passion of mine because I can *understand* it. How does an operating system work, how does a web server work, how does a keyboard work, how do you do 3D graphics, … All those are things that I can learn and understand, and that’s the thrill. But anything related to “AI”? It’s just statistics and a large model that spits out something for some reason … Super boring. I couldn’t be less interested.
And on top of that, “AI” requires a ton of energy (as far as I know), which we, as a species, cannot afford right now. It needs to stop.

@prologic that's not the way LLM work. LOL. If they were to "learn" by user's corrections, or contributions, then they would really be screwed.

FWIW I tend to find most 8-5 gigs aren't really interested in simplicity or efficiency. Software are often all quite meeslessly complex and hard to maintain both organizationally and technically.
I think part of it is also human nature and the effect of adding more people to projects or organizations.
I'm often reminded when coming across things like htmx of the adage of an Enterprise software team vs. a Startup or Open source team developing the same solution.
Aho gets it done faster, better and more efficiently?

do you guys in Germany normally measure rainfall in liters per square meter? here in Australia we normally just use a rain gauge and measure the number of millimeters of water collected in the rain cage as a protocol height.

@prx J'espère que vous allez bien. Et c'est fous comme histoire, j'ai vu exactement la même sur BFM ce matain où le conducteur âgé (70 ans et quelques si je me rappelle bien) impliqué dans l'accident a fini par percuter quelqu'un d'autre quelques minutes après le premier accident.

Between Friday 8am and Monday 8am it rained 161 liters per square meter. Our weatherman in town measured alone 40 liters on Sunday between 22:30 and 23:45. On average we get 92 liters in total in the entire May and 96 liters in June. It was a lot, but i didn't think it was actually that much. Wow!
Down in the town a lot of houses have been flooded. The municipality provided containers for all the garbage. From what I read it was the smaller creek, not the larger river that went absolutely berserk.

@prologic i've used it on some small side projects and it was great. my 8-5 gig isn't too keen on it yet which wasn't surprising.

@prologic It was not the river water, but the rain water that found its way into the basement. It rained for a few days straight. So the ground was completely saturated at one point in time. Sunday to Monday night there was a ton of more really heavy rain, new water could not sink down anymore, so it leaked through the tight hole where the cables enter the house in the basement. That's roughly a meter above the basement floor. A tiny, tiny bit of fine sand accumulated on the floor beneath the hole.
I didn't even know that water can get through that hole in the wall, looks completely sealed to me. But as we learned, it is not sealed enough. I didn't see it flowing in, I just noticed the standing water on Monday morning.

Fire-proof safes are generally designed so the internal temperature stays at or below ~350°F. Is there a computer medium I can write that's likely to survive an extended stay around that temperature? Storage size doesn't matter too much; a CD would be plenty (although an actual CD would presumably turn to soup).~

The river upstream kissed the hundred-year flood level (462 cm) the other day. https://www.hvz.baden-wuerttemberg.de/pegel.html?id=00265 (To me that link looks broken, but maybe it works on other browsers. :-?)
Just one pixel below
I'm on a hill, far away from the river, but with all that rain and soaked ground the water finally came into the basement where the cables enter the house over night. Luckily, just 15 mm high, so it didn't jump the doorsill into other rooms. And it was all clear, no muddy mess, all nicely filtered through the earth, gravel and sand. My shop vac is also designed to work as a wet vacuum cleaner, so that was really helpful.
