  • In my childhood, from 5 to 15, o used to live in one of the most degraded part of my city (1mln people, southern Europe). Drug dealing and sex workers where common and widespread s well as clients. Maybe no actual “cartels” tbh.

    Well, the area was very safe and in control, actually the drug dealers kept the situation under control because they didn’t want police to mess around.

    Years later the area was cleared out and and started to become the Hotpoint of night life (pubs, cheap alcohol holes and such) and people flocked from every other part of town from 23:00 to 5:00. That’s when it started being unlivable because you would fine your car hit or pissed on, high music and loud voices all night long and drunk people around, broken glasses and bottles in the morning…

    So, I missed the dealers. And I moved after a few years of that hell. (The night time life, I mean)

    Edit: the fun part? The middle class people who called for removing the drugs and sex, people living in the area I mean, started moving out after the night love started. And house value fell (wasnt too high to begin with, ok) because the only kind of business you can start afterward in the area where pubs and cheap alcohol places and sleeping at night was not an option anymore.








  • Quit thinking as a windows user now you are on Linux.

    You running a pirated game with proton? Or looking to run windows inside Linux?

    In any case run the game offline, disconnect the PC from internet and you should be safe.

    What? It’s an on line game? It’s a game that need internet access to run? Then what are you complaining about? There is nothing you can do to be “safe”.

    Anyway running a windows game on linux with wine or proton should be safe enough from most of the possible threats (environment is too different). Running in a VM would be a serious hit on performances even if you use qemu+KVM (forget about virtual box) with all drivers set to passtrough and you give up your video card on Linux and pass it to windows

    At that point, you are again at risk because e you are again running windows …

    Define your threat at least. That would make a response easier

    My guess you are overthinking stuff.


  • You need fans to blow the air OUT not in, and create a chimney effect between opposite sides of the building.

    A small out blowing fan can be enough, if run all night.

    Blowing out will cause air to be sucked in from the opposite side. Having multiple fans will only mess up the air flow and reduce the efficiency. Better two fan on the same outgoing window.

    Of course, that will never cool down more than a few degrees above outside temp because walls thermal cycle will bring inside day heat at night and bring inside night cool in daytime. Specially thick or well insulated walls are designed to do exactly that.

    So yes walls will warm you up at night, that is not avoidable. A well insulated wall will do that instead of bringing heat in during daytime… But heat is there and must be dissipated that’s physics. Night time is the best option.

    Edit: blow out at night. During daytime blow around, best way to keep cool is move that hot layer of air that get stick to your skin with a fan. Same temperatures but so much more bearable.


  • In Italy all coast and so also beaches are public property

    But … Historically many coastal towns kind of rented the beaches to families who built empires on overcharging customers, blocking sea access and also issuing bogus rules like to external food.

    Now there is an European directive to which Italy should adhere that imposes those beach concessions to be actually competition and not assigned by divine rule of birth.

    Of course, the families whose main income is that, and who used to live 12 months from the income of June/July/august, do not agree.

    While still illegal to block import of food and public access to the sea, in many places it happens.

    Also, in many places there are publicly accessible beaches with infrastructure (showed, toilet, bar…) bit those are not the touristy spots





  • Not really, apart from some software algorithms I guess. Totally different stuff, they use a perimetrali wire with radio signal to detect borders and can work up and down slopes and have much more advanced security measures since we’ll your pet tail might be in the way. Also more security as those might be snatched by thieves walking long side your lawn … And they are built to live under rain. Hail and scorching sun.
