From what I’ve heard from my coworker do actually flew:
Step 1: Attempt radio contact on local frequencies and guard.
Step 2: Try to lead you out of restricted air space
Step 3: Try to REALLY get your attention like doing precision fly so that you are unmistakably aware of them (like a really really close fly by). If this works, try step 2 again
Step 4: Really depends on where you are and/or who you are. If you are willfully violating air space and a civilian, you’ll probably get your certificate revoked and/or face. If you get near something really sensitive and probably are doing so purposefully despite attempts to get your attention, and you’re not over a densely populated area, you could get shot down.

You can take out the blower motor - it’s not that hard.
I’m not sure what to say about leaks and pressure loss. My HVAC tech recently refused to find the issue and just refilled my refrigerant instead….

Are you suggesting you hose down an indoor unit?
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 4 weeks ago:
No one is telling you to power wash or scrub. If you rinse it often enough you’ll be fine. If a hose ain’t doing it for you, you are better off getting an HVAC tech to use their special cleaner that is only sold to HVAC techs
- Comment on YSK: If your house has a split AC unit it probably could use a cleaning 4 weeks ago:
Still feels like an upsell. Just take a hose and spray down the coils and/or vacuum.

- Comment on Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? 5 weeks ago:
Can you send mail through each email? I had a catch all forwarder before but it l had to reply with a different email, leading to occasional issues.
That’s basically the reason I have a server. I can set up forwarders between my wife and I, and if I need to send mail as kobra@domain.tld, I can just set up the alias and send it.

- Comment on Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? 5 weeks ago:
Hi. I used to run a mail server around ten years ago and started running it again last year.
I have three receive mail domains and one mail domain that does both. It is /so/ much harder now.
- One domain that I let lapse for a few years is currently being impersonated by various servers.
- There are periodic and frequent attempts to login via compromised credentials
- Domain and IP reputation is a thing now.
The first challenge is to find a server that will let you host email but that isn’t on a spam list. Some spam lists you can apply to get off, some you can’t.
Then you have Microsoft. With Google you get thrown into spam. With Microsoft, your email just doesn’t make it. Their support is non existent.
I switched servers three times and took another month to get to Microsoft hosted inboxes. And your email is useless without Microsoft due to all the businesses that use Microsoft as a mail provider
And then if you use the mail app on iOS you quickly discover that you have to manually refresh because just on iOS, the mail app doesn’t support imap push or whatever it’s called.
I still haven’t found a good SELF hosted solution. There are third parties you can use but I don’t want to do it. There used to be a few popular solutions but development went off and on so some distros dropped it.
I’m still on Google and Apple calendar because I haven’t found a solution for that.
Of course there are solutions that encompass it all, but I am running postfix and dovecot and finally got it stable so I’m not running mailcow or whatever…

- Comment on Elon Musk has deep ties to the Chinese dictatorship. The risk to U.S. national security is unimaginable. 1 month ago:
I’m not much of a leftist so I don’t usually support turning companies into government held entities…
But given the extent of Musk’s issues, SpaceX needs to be a company wholly owned and operated by NASA. X Boeing Company, Neurolink, Tesla can either undergo the same fate or just be forced to shut down. Musk needs to be removed from any board memberships and barred from future memberships. Musk needs to be under watch and on the no fly list while he is investigated and tried.
This nutjob is a straight up national and global security threat.

I suppose if my email provider shuts down I would need to know if I had shut down my server, my server host went out of business, or someone has taken control of my domains
